manufactured in the United States un-
der license.
The importation figures contrast
greatly with those for export of Ameri-
can planes. The SO American built

FOUR FLYING BROTHERS
ARE "SMALL TOWN" BOYS

SPARTA, ILL., UP).-The Hunter
brothers are small town boys who
wanted to see the world, so they be-
came airplane pilots.
John Hunter got the urge first. 1t
was in 1928 and he bought a ticket to
st. Louis, where Maj. w. B. Robert
son gave him the works"
John was adept and with his lessons
learned, he came back to Sparta and
called for his brothers money. All of
it was just enough for plane and in
that plane John taught the other three
TO fly.

Fire Engine in Air
Proves Its Utility
On Brush Blaze

The aerial fire engine has made
its appearance.
An airplane equipped with
tanks for a special extinguishing
fluid recently demonstrated its
utility by extinguishing brush
fire on Long Island, N. Y, within
a few minutes.
The fluid was sprayed from the
plane at a rate of one gallon per
acre, the plane flying low over the
fire and the liquid being spread
by the propeller slip-stream. The
fluid generates a gas which
smothers the flame.

CONFIDENCE is
HIGH ON EVE OF
HOOVER FARLEY
FinanCierS Meet Tomorrow
With Conditions Viewed
in Rosy Light.

By Scripps-Hoio0rd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Though
called because Of concern for the
possible effects of the recent market
crash, President Hoovers confer
ence of flnanciers, industrialists and
economic experts will meet here
Wednesday in an atmosphere OF
confidence in all factors which
make for national prosperity.
The monthly bulletin of the fed
eral reserve board, made public to
day, clearly shows, in the opinion
OF economic experts, the country
ability to weather storms like cha
which broke in Wall Street on Ocs
"a, and gave rise to concern for it
effect on employment and normal
activity in all lines for the conf Q
year.
The bulletin reveals that the
fundamentals of business conditions
have not been weakened seriously
Business Keeps Up
Money at low rate of interest is
plentiful; basic industries with
few exceptions are continuing at
high rate Of production; building in
almost all lines except residences is
keeping up; factory employment
and wage payments remained in
large volume this autumn" and dis
tribution statistics show a sustained
buying power on the part of indus
Trial and agricultural workers.
House rents are lower than at any
time since 1924, when the cost of
renting or building a home reached
its postwar peak. Building has
caught up with and passed the
shortage that developed during the
war, and this accounts for a slack
ening of construction as much as
the credit stringency caused by
stock speculation.
Meanwhile. experts in the treas
ury, commerce and labor depart
ments were assembling a mass of
data for submission to the Presi-
dents conference. These statistics
on business cycles and industrial
changes, some of which were COL
lected under Hoover's direction when
he was secretary of commerce, are
counted on to aid the conference in
devising a program designed to re-
lieve possible hardship resulting
from the market crash and to pre-
vent a recurrence of disturbed mon
ey and stock conditions.
Bear Raid Halted
The boards review reveals how
the bear raid was stopped before 1t
had more serious effects. 1t en-
phasizes the financial assistance
which New York banks and the re-
serve system gave when foreign
lenders, investment and trading
companies and out of-town banks
began to withdraw funds from the
market in the latter part OF Sep
TENDER and early in october.
Many believe it was the removal
Of this support, together with heavy
selling by foreign interests follow
ing the hasty crash on the London
exchange, which precipitated the
slump.

HOW TO KEEP WELL


People who desire to go bathing
should become thoroughly acquainted
with the water in order TO overcome
fear before Venturing beyond their
depths. When a person gets panicky in
deep water, he generally does every
thing he can do TO drown himself. One
Of the first things for TO do IS 70 WIN
confidence and learn how to float.
The educational committee of the
State Medical Association in a state
ment today invited the cooperation OF
campers and bathers in reducing the
toll Of drowning in Minnesota this year.
The bulletin declares that cramps are
universally given as a cause OF drown
ing whereas ignorance about swimming
and hfe-Saying are the usual causes.
1T is interesting to know that one
hand out of the water weighs more
than whole body in the water, so We
should keep our hands in the water,
declares the bulletin "A man IN dis
treSs in the water can take a tip from

MACHINES RECORD
BUMPS ON HIGHWAY

When conflicting reports are received
about highway, some declaring it Is
rotten and others saying it is good,
how are you going to tel who is right2
There are 'troughometers" which accur-
ately record the number Of bumps in
a mile, but unpaved roads such mach
inc may show entirely different records
today and tomorrow.
Very often two conflicting reports
may both be right, according to c. III.
Babcock, commissioner Of Highways.
Two persons going over the same road
a few hours apart may find an entirely
different surface. OF course it makes a
difference what kind of a car you ride
in, but the biggest difference is often
IN the road itself.
When weather is favorable and the
maintenance grader has been over the
road recently, gravel road may be as
smooth as the best pavement" says Mr..
Babcock "a man riding over one Of
our gravel highways Saturday morning
may tell us it was splendid, and another
man going over the same road Sunday
afternoon, after the heavy weekend
traffic has cut up the surface, may
truthfully say it is rotten And if he
writes us a letter on Monday, the
maintenance crews have probably been
over the road and made it nice and
smooth before we get the letter.
1T is largely matter of traffic. A
road which is properly graded and
drained and gravel resurfaced, and
which carries only light traffic, may be
kept in good condition nearly all the
time with moderate amount Of main
tenance But when the traffic is doubled
or tripled, you can double or triple the
maintenance expense and still not have
q good road On unpaved trunk routes
with heavy traffic, we are lucky if We
can keep the surface smooth half OF
the time"
