No one who has not flown over these

be overcome. They are very mountain

leys are often filled with fog, and a
plane must fly over the fog. through

The route south from Florida will
split at Cuba, and one branch of 1t
will continue to Haiti, San Domingo
and Porto Rico. Any one who has
been in these islands can realize what
boon to them will be quick passen-
ger and mail service.
The other branch of this line will ex-
tend from Cuba to Merida, in Yucatan,
Mexico; Belize, in British Honduras: !:
Puerto Barrios, in Guatemala Teguci-
galpa. in Honduras: Managua, in Mica
ragua; San Jose, in Costa Rica, and
then to Panama. There is provision in
the government contract for an op-
tional extension of this route to Carta-

and La Guayra, in Venezuela, and then
to Port of Spain. to Georgetown, Brit
ish Guiana. and Paramarlbo, in Dutch
Guiana. The eastern route may also be
extended TO Port au Spain, Trinidad,
where it will join the western route.
Many of these Central American
countries have a very inadequate mail
connection with the United States at
the present time. The only communica-
ton is by steamer, and although steam
ers call regularly their trips are sep
arated by wide interval and they are
slow compared with trains or planes.

tors housed within the wings and with

ress at the Junkers Works in Dessau,
Germany. according to reports received
here The big plane. designated the
"J-3o" is said to be of an entirely new
type and, il successful. may lead to an
other revolution in airplane construc-
ton.
Thc J-3S will have a wing span of
more than 165 feet making it one of
the greatest planes ever built and the
wings themselves will be nine feet
thick. making possible the location
within them of CCmmodious staterooms
and other living quarters. the motors
and the fuel tanks. -Four motors of
from 800 to 1000 horsepower each are
to be installed IN the forward portions
Of the wings with only the propellors
outside.
Within the small fuselage will be To-
Gated two pilots seats and small navi-
CATION cabin. The J-38 is a step toward
the ultimate goal of Prof. Junkers the
"Nur- -Fluegel Flugzeug," or 'the wings
only-fying machine" the principle Of
which he patented II years ago. The
famous German airplane designer Is
confident that he will be able TO elimi-
nate the fuselage entirely, leaving the
airp!ane of the future merely a huge
double wing with landing gear or pom
toonS on the under side.
A step in the same direction is being
taken at the Runpler Works. another
leading German airplane construction
company. which now is building plane
with the motors inside the wings This
ship. however, is 'pusher" the pro-
pellors projecting from the trailing
edges instead of the front edge of the
wings
Housing of the motors within the
wings makes them completely accessible
to the crew while in fight and makes
possible motor repairs while in the air
with no more discomfort to the me-
chanic than if he we're working in
repair shop The plan of Prof. jun
kers in eliminating the fuselage is to
reduce Wind resistance to the absolute
minimum. permitting greater speed and
greater ease of handling.

have knowledge of the English Ian

SAFE AIR TRAVEL
STEPS ARE STRESSED
Rapid Development Reflected in
Program of American Life
Convention.

The rapid development and ac-
ceptanoe of air travel as safe and I'M
portant means of transportation was
reflected in the program of the Ameri-
can life convention at St. Louis last
week, which indicated that life in
surance trends are conforming to rap
idly, changing conditions in air trans
portation.
William P. MacCracken, jr., AS
siStant Secretary of Commerce for
AeronauticS, in discussing the effect of
flying. explained that the st. Louis
Chicago air mail and passenger line, in
operation more than two years, never
has injured a passenger or lost pilot;
that the Chicago-New York line, in
operation for a year has lost one pilot
the Chicago-DallaS and Western Air
Express lires have 100000 miles to
their credit with the loss of two pilots
and injuries to no passengers.
The passenger travelling in licensed
plane with a licensed pilot, over a
regular all route, Mr.. MacCracken
said, is as safe as any other traveller.
The favorable attitude of life in
surance officials toward the acceptance
of air risks and their eagerness to
conform to the rapid changes in air
transportation was stressed by Gordon
Thomson, vice president of the West
Coast Life Insurance Co. in a dis
cuSsion of How Life Insurance Can
Help Air Transportation.
Clarls Adams. secretary of the con-
vention, and Lee N. Parker, vice presi-
dent of the American Service Bureau,
pointed out the need for the co-opera-
ton of life insurance companies in the
Inauguration of air transportation but
emphasized the necessity for care in
selection Of capable and experienced
pilots in the present stage of aerial
development.

Communication by Planes Is
Becoming Matter of Days
Instead of Weeks.
NEW LINES ARE OPENED

Connecting Routes.


BY COL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH.
w YHILE the extension Of air.
n ways is going on rapidly IN
NV side the boundaries of this
country, the United States
is developing an internation-
al air system to an extent which Is
not yet appreciated. The Americas
are being linked by air. brought much
closer together than ever before, and
in a short time it will be possible to
send mail or to fly from Montreal to
South America on well organized and
we'll operated air routes.
The international possibilities as the
result of this natural extension of our
air system are not confined to avla-
ton. The Americas have few OF those
ancient hatreds which make under
standing between the countries OF Eu-
rope so difficult, and as communication
by mail and travel by air become a
matter of days instead Of weeks be-
tween North and South America 1t
should bring all the peoples of the New
World into a closer agreement which
will have incalculable results. With
the new and powerful nations of these
two continents firmly held together by
ties of mutual reliance and good WILL
peace should become something more
than word
Aviation Links Nations.
Aviation seems to stir a common
emotion in all people. The flyers OF
any country are greeted as kindred
spirits. and under the wings of their
planes friendship springs to meet
them. That was shown generously on
my Latin American flight and also fol-
lowing the fight of Capt. Emelio Car
rama from Mexico to the United
States. Although Capt. Carranza met
his death when he started to fly home,
he had already accomplished his mis-
sion. Mexico is already being linked
by air with the United States over the
route he traversed, and that line in
Mexico should be his monument His
flight gave our people new concep-
ton of the Mexican. He was a GAL
liant man and good pilot.
The new lines to the South are fol-
lowing natural routes. Two of the
possible routes into Mexico are by
the West Coast, connecting with
California lines, and by the East
Coast, connecting with line at La
redo The East Coast line will be es-
tablished first. and furnish direct con-

The other extensions are coming
as the result of the expansion of the
Pan-American Arways. which has
such good operating record between
Havana and Key West. This line will
link up the northern airways at Mi
ami Fla. Miami will be connected with
Atlanta by air, and from Atlanta the
Pitcairn Always carries the mail to
New York. The Canadian Colonial
Airways will carry mail from New
York to Montreal. So it can be seen
that there is direct route coming

Going down through such fog and
picking out a safe place in the jungle
would be almost impossible, although a
landing might be made by stalling into
the treetops, and the foliage and vege-
tation is so thick that possibly nothing
very serious would happen. But getting
out again would be another matter
The distances are not great. however,
and with proper landing fields and 4
ground crew of efficient mechanics there
should be no danger If multi-motored
ships are used.
These routes will also offer some of
the most beautiful and interesting air.
plane flights in the world. Whether
over fog between mountains, over the
green sea of the jungle or the broad
plains where wild animals are feeding
or playing around the water holes, or
over the blue Caribbean, where great
fish may be seen through the clear
water, the scene is always unusual

there. But wherever 1 went the need
for aviation was obvious. The airplane
may do a great deal to open up these
tropical countries and help make them
more prosperous.
