ROAD TALK

Just now there is quite bit of
discussion on the road question be-
tween Clintwood and Haysi, the
Highway commission having alloca
ted goodly sum to be spent on this
road. The linking up of the hard
surface road from Clintwood and
Grundy is very much to be desired.
Much harm can be done by i'm
moderate kicking. Some want the
road to be by way of Clinchco to
Fremont while others want it by the
Ridge route.
All roads should be built along
routes that will serve the most peo-
pie, regardless whether it passes this
or that mans home or through some
corporations land. That is not the
purpose of road building, but to do
the most good and give the most
service to the greatest number.
Use moderation and good judg-
ment.

Rosa Cox Suicides

News reaches us from Scott coun

suicide near her home, about three
miles east Of Dungannon, by hang
ing. According to reports the youno
woman went to her barn to feed her
horse. After she had been absent
for few minutes, her mother think
ing, that she might have fallen, went
to the barn and discovered her,
hanging from the rafter. She was
cut down and attempts made to re-
suscitate her, but she lived only a
few minutes. Miss Cox is said to
have been depressed for some time
and to have threatened to kill her
self several times. She is survived
by her mother, Mrs. Sarah Cox, and
two brothers and two sisters.

ELECTION LAW CHANGES

Richmond, Nov 29.-It was in
dicated here today that the Virginia
election law may not be changed to
conform to the Groner decision until
this decision ruling sections of the
primary code unconstitutional is Civ
en- its final test before the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The decision of Judge L. Lawrence
Groner of the United States District
Court, held that the States law re-
garding primaries cannot bar ne
groes from participation therein, and
the section providing that the party
plan in this regard be followed is
violative Of the Fourteenth Amend
ment.
Legislators who thus far have dis
cussed the possibility of necessary
revisions in the election laws have
been inclined to leave the law as it
is until the federal courts are
through with it.

Seaplane development has been sadly
neglected in the United States and Is
centered in Europe at present. The
only agency in our country sponsoring
seaplane construction is the United
States Navy. This condition is only
temporary, of course, and was brought
about by the fact that the commercial
market for land types is larger and
offers more inducement to the manu-
facturer AS the demand for land
planes is filled the seaplane field will
appear more alluring to both builder
and operator.
Corrosion flinders Work.
One of the difficulties encountered in
seaplane operation Is the corrosive effect
of salt water on metal. A number of
designers are using duralumin coated
with pure aluminium in an effort to
minimize corrosion. The interior fur
nishings are designed to be easily re-
movable, so that the interior of the
ship can be washed with fresh water
at regular intervals. Here again the
future rests with the metallurgist. not
only in the development of lighter and
stronger alloys but in combining light
ness and strength with non-corrosion.
The oceans offer the last undeveloped
field for air transportation. Both the
United States and Europe are covered
with air lines. Routes are rapidly be-
ing extended into the remotest corners
of the world where, in many instances,
no other facilities of modern transpor-
tation exist. Aviation is bringing civil

AERONAUT|CS MAIL
COURSE IS OFFERED
Massachusetts Education
Department to Issue Ger
tifiCates to Graduates.

A correspondence school course in
aeronautics for those who wish to pre-
pare themselves for careers in CONNER
cial aviation in Notifying capacities
has been offered by the Massachusetts,
Department of Education to all residents
Of the United States and Canada, ac-
cording to an official report to the De-
partment of Commerce.
Establishment of the correspondence
course resulted from the success expert
enced by the Massachusetts University
Extension with its classes in aeronautics
during the past Is months, a number of
which were held in the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology.
During this time" the Massachu-
sets department has stated, nearly 20
courses in aeronauticS have been given
in various centers of the State and re-
quests for instruction from groups of
people in communities large and small
are coming in constantly.
Preparatory studies also are included
in the course. Persons who have COW
cred the preparatory course or Its
equivalent are started on the instruc-
ton which deals directly with aero
nautics. Under these conditions the
course can readily be completed in less
than three years. Subject matter In
cludes the topics covered in examina-
tions given by the Department of Com
merce for mechanics and pilots Ii
censes. The student will obtain the
equivalent of ground school training and
needs only to acquire practical flying
experience and mechanical skill to be-
come a full-1edged pilot.
Exclusive of preparatory studies, the
course lists the following subjects: Ele-
mentary aeronautics, the airplane en-
CINE, structure and rigging, airplane de-
sign and air transportation. Inforna-
ton about the course may be obtained
by addressing inquiries to the Univer-
sity Extension, State House, Boston.

TRACTS NEAR AIRPORT
IN BALTIMORE SOLD
Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation Re-
ported to Have Closed Some of
Deals in Big Project.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, February 9.-The
Goodyear Corporation of Ak
ron, Ohio, is reported to be buying
tracts of land near the Municipal Air
port site.
Some of the deals, it was said, have
been closed, and others are about to be
ready for settlement.
The move did not come as a complete
surprise, as Goodyear-Zeppelin inter-
ests have been inquiring about the
possibility of getting land from the city
at the airport. Nothing the city had
available seemed large enough, it was
said, and the negotiations with the city
were dropped.
When Or. Hugo Eckener was on his
recent trip to the United States in the
Graf Zeppelin, he passed over the area
now figuring in the Goodyear deal, and
upon reaching New York said If regu-
lar Zeppelin service were to be inaugu-
rated between America and Europe, a
base near Baltimore or Washington
would be needed.
The Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation,
which has large contracts for airships
and has been seeking suitable factory
site near the coast, is believed to have
been influenced by Eckeners report. Its
business already Is maintained on a
large scale at Akron. but it has been in

SHORTAGE OF PLANES
DELAYS TRAINING
Flyers at Langley Field Have Diff
Guilty Due to Transfer
of Bombers.

The second bombardment group at
Langley Field, Va, is having consid-
cradle difficulty carrying on its yearly
training work because of shortage Of
airplanes. When the training period
started the group had available only
nine LB-5A bombers, two Oil OBJ
servation planes, two DH-4M2S and one
tri-motored Fokker transport
The bombers have been divided so
that each of the three tactical squad
rons of the group-the Goth, 49th and
96th-have three planes each, and the
Oils, DIS and the Fokker are as
signed to the seth Service Squadron.
The shortage of planes is due to the
transfer of eight LBS bombers to Kelly
Field, Tex, for use in the training Of
student pilots at the Advanced Flying
School. Last June Langley Field turned
its 10 Martin bombers over to the same
station.
AS result of the shortage now ex-
isting 1t Is considered a grave crime to
permit plane to rest on the ground
during the hours scheduled for flying,
and the planes must put double time in
the air.
The training now in progress includes
camera obscura, aerial bombing, aerial
gunnery, both at ground and tow tar
gets, and night flying. In addition,
there has been large amount of cross
country flying, test flying and general
training missions.

merce for transport license.
Daily inspection Of equipment regu-
lations must be enforced.
The flying school committee also Is
considering minimum size requirements
for fields used by flying schools and ways

Correction of Deficiencies.
at was the feeling of the confer
ence," it was announced, that such de-
ficiencies as may exist in flying schools
today are attributable largely to the
lack of common requirements. It was
felt that most could be corrected
through moral suasion and appeal to
lf-discipline.
Should, however, situation develop
whereby an activity persists counter to
the recognized standards, the assistance
of the Better Business Bureau would
be asked There are Better Business
