18TH ANNIVERSARY OF MAN FIRST FLIGHT FINDS NATION
ON The WING BRINGING WRICITS DREAM OF AVIATION TRUE

commercial air lines, 108 cities
served by regularly scheduled
flights, with two-thirds of the ma
tons population in the area served!
The financiers find that America,
after all, has not Jagged in the air;
that it's planes in 1927 flew 5000, 1000
transport miles as against 100000
miles for Germany, 100000 for
France, and 100000 miles for Eng
land. And foreign countries pay
subsidies.
Despite all the development, avi-
alton in the United States is still
only lusty infant.
Very soon great tri-motored trans
port planes, carrying IA passengers,
two pilots, and cabin steward, their
baggage and a ton of mail and ex-
press, will start regular daily service
between New York and Chicago.
Even now, great air liners of Boe-
ing Air Transport Company are
speeding passengers through the air
from Chicago to San Francisco.
Other networks of air lines reach
past the Mexican and Canadian bor-
ders.
Soon other air lines will whirl
passengers down the Atlantic coast
and across the Florida straits to
Cuba; even along the curving line of
the Antilles to Panama and South
America.
Great rail systems already have
visioned the things this new vehicle
of commerce is destined to do and
have bound it to themselves.
Transcontinental Air Transport
Company, a merging Of the activities
of the Pennsylvania railroad, Ma
tional Air Transport, Curtiss Aero
plane and Motor Company and as
sociated banking interests, will be-
gin transcontinental rail and air
passenger service early in 1920.
The Pennsylvania calls it harness.
ing the airplane to the iron horse
and plans an air-rail service.
The New York Central, its rival
begins routing its rush passengers
by universal Air Lines planes.
Universal merges Robertson Air
craft Company and the plane manu-
featuring business of Anthony G. H
Fokker, the great Dutch builder, ant
plans great luxurious ships carry
ing 80 passengers on day trips ant
with Is berths for night flights.
Other bankers step into the Doe
ing Company which operates thu
longest single air lie in the world
the Chicago-San Francisco airmail
express and passenger line, and plar
to extend its operations to New
York, thus forging transconti
mental route under one control.

ENGINEERS OUT
! OF COLLEGE IN
GREAT DEMAND
26 Seniors Graduating from U
Last Spring Are Placed in
Positions

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 10
members of the Engineering faculty
at the University of North Dakota
concern themselves little with the
complaint that too many people are
going away to college.
They worry about securing enough
capable men to fill applications for
work filed with them by large en-
cheering companies throughout
America and the World. They con-
tend that there is always place for
a college trained engineer, and to
prove their assertion they placed
everyone of the rs members Of last
years graduating class.
One senior student went to China.
Another got call from South Amer
lea. Western Electric, General Elec-
trio, Westinghouse, and Allis Chal-
mers employed the bulk of them,
while some of the Civil Engineers
secured jobs with cities in the state,
or with companies constructing
bridges, paving or the like.
"The scheme of placing our gradu-
ating class is quite simple" ex-
plains "A. w. Preston, head of the
shops at the school.
1--WE keep in contact with large
concerns such as electrical or indus
trial companies who constantly are
in need of trained help. They send
US letters outlining work which the
new man will have to do. We look
over our list of senior students,
weigh their qualifications with the
demands, and allow him to get in
touch with the company seeking help.
He is interviewed, possibly, and very
frequently gets the position"
Further contact with the college
and the large industrial companies of
America are provided when each
summer some of them secure faculty
men from engineering colleges to
work in their plants. The men en-
ployed get an insight into the work
ing Of the company, obtain a view
point as to what the concern ex-
poets of the employee, and at the
same time add to their own knowl-
dye, Preston points out. He worked
this past summer at the Chicago
plant of Western Electric.
"And," he declares, following his
experience, "there is always pay
ing job for a we'll trained engineer"

LOS ANGELES IS
MIDGET BESIDE
LATBCRUISERS
Mammoth New Air Cruisers
Built for U. S. Navy Dwarf
First Ship

From specifications and plans of
the proposed rigid airships to be
built by the Goodyear company for
the U. S. navy, these largest of
Zeppelins will be as safe as any
vessel on land or sea. Compared
with the present Los Angeles, the
ZRS-4 and ZRS-5, as they are called,
will be between two and three times
as large and as powerful. Their gas
volume will be 100000 cubic feet
as against the 2,47O,O0O Of the Los
Angeles. Their eight engines will
develop q total Of 4480 horsepower
at a maximum speed of 1928 knots,
as against the five engines of the
Los Angeles, developing 1000 horse
power at high speed Of 63.5 knots.
The new ships will have a gross
lift Of 4O3, 900 pounds, with q useful
lift of $4,000 pounds, while the Los
Angeles has q gross lift Of $4,000
pounds and q useful lift of only Co.
600 pounds.
Fuel for $3.50 Miles
Most remarkable is the cruising
range of the new ships. At so knots
an hour, the new dirigibles will be
able to 60 $3.50 nautical miles with
out refueling. This compares with
only $3.50 miles as the longest dis
lance for the Los Angeles.
The ship will be built SO three
galleries will extend throughout its
length, making every part of it ac-
cessible during flight. Motors will
be built inside the hull, reducing air
resistance and increasing safety for
the engineers.
An important feature Of the mo-
tors will be the twisting propellers,
so that they may be turned into a
horizontal position and SO help the
ship upward more easily.
Carry Five Planes
Since these ships will be airplane
carriers, provision has been made to
lift the planes through large doors
in the bottom of the ship. Five
scouting planes can be housed with
in the hull.
Like the Los Angeles, the new
dirigibles will have duralumin skele-
tons Of longitudinal and transverse
construction, with steel wire bracing.

Ireland Bars Liquor
from Historic Tara

Dublin, Dec. 15.-(AP)-The Free
State authorities refused to license
drinking saloon on the hill at
Tara, Ireland's most historic spot.
Tara draws hundreds of tourists
annually and there is no public house
in the vicinity where alcoholic bever-
ages are sold. A local citizen saw
an opportunity for enterprise and
applied for license. The court re-
fused on the ground that visitors to
Tara wanted to view the scenes of
olden glories and are not concerned
with stout or whisky.
