Broken Pipe Line the Cause

Major kasimic Kubala said that a broken pipe line forced him and his companion Major Louis 1dzie- kowski, turn back after they had flown twenty two of the forty two hours which they estimated it would take to fly to New York from Paris. The airmen when rescued where found in the sea near their plane by the German steamer Samos, Saturday.and were brought to Lexivoes near Oporto.
 Major Kubala in an interview in the military hospital where he is being treated for an injured arm, said, "the tube feeding oil to the engine stopped working and they thought it would be impossible to continue the flight and decided to return. When we were seventy miles of Cape Finisterre and Westermist Point, we noticed ad- ditional damage and this caused the plane to capsize and plunge into the sea. We threw ourselves out of the plane and swam toward the steamer Samos, whose crew rescued us."

MORECARS PER Mile
OF IMPROVED HIWAY
MACHINES WOULD BE Al YARDS
APART IF PLACED ON GOOD
ROADS AT ONE TIME, ACCORD
ING TO STATISTICS.

There were 40 motor vehicles reg
istered in the United States in 1927
to every mile of improved highway
of all types. In 1926 there were "a
and in 1918 there were II motor veh-
icles to every mile of improved high
way, according to figures given out
by the American Automobile associa-
ton. 1t is figured that if all the
vehicles were on the improved roads
at one time, they would be A yards
apart, as compared to so yards in
1926 and 103 yards in 1918.
Minnesota has more than $4,000
miles of roads of all classes, state
and local, surfaced with gravel or
higher types of material, there being
only four states having more miles
Of surfaced road than Minnesota.
Minnesota's motor vehicles if placed
on the improved roads at one time
would therefore stand 26 to the mile,
which is considerably better than the
national average.
1t is impossible to distribute traf-
fic evenly, however, and even though
all the vehicles are never on the road
at one time, they are often much clos
er than "A yards apart on some of
the trunk highways in Minnesota.
To remedy the traffic situation does
not require so much adding to the
highway mileage as improving exist
ing roads. Paved and other dustless
highways can carry much more traf-
fic safely than a gravel road Five
hundred vehicles day is generally
considered the limit of an untreated
gravel road. both from the standpoint
of safety and economy. A paved
road can carry 5000 day safely and
expeditiously, and on holidays many
of the paved routes in Minnesota
carry over 10000 cars. AS soon as
IS per cent of the trunk highway
system is permanently improved, 9TH
err routes carrying through traffic can
be added to the system, relieving the
local units of the expense of keeping
up these routes.
