Max Honeyman. dealer in Pack ard, Hudson, Essex and used cars got hls share of guesses when his silhouette appeared ir the paper The New Britain Herald-last eve ming. The contest has received q new lease on life due, no doubt, to MT. Honeyman's personal popularity and reputation, along with Lou, in a business sense. As today's parade of words is exceptionally long, the edi- tor will print Johnnie Ansanka 8 winning letter without further ado. Heres the letter.
 Todays silhouette is that of Mr. Honeyman. dealer in Packard Els sex and Hudson cars also used cars. He is also an associate dealer of Bond Motor Sales, located at 139 Arch street When you want 10 buy used car, buy it from MT Honey man as you will get much more service from his used cars than from any other used car.
 Who is he tonight? He has a place of business on Main street, which has been established for three years. He is a member of the Xii Wanis club about which you are go- ing to read later. The business tactics used by his concern leave no stone rnturned to make known the bargains which are plentiful on his counters.

URGES CITY
MEET TERMS
Jesse bennett Addresses
Kiwanians On Airport
Situation

"A vigorous talk urging that the
city meet the terms of the Pan
American Always for facilities at
the municipal airport was delivered
before the Kiwanis club Thursday
noon by Jesse bennett. His talk
conferred on the refusal Of the city
commission to grant the airways
company a preferential option to
buy or lease the airport.
He stated that the company pro-
poses to invest Immediately some
$780, 900 in shops and later perhaps
several hundred thousand dollars.
The concern also would bring some
so families to Brownsville should
their plans go through, 1t was said.
bennett said that he did nos be-
lieve the city would be taking any
chances in accepting the offer Of
this company which has a backing
Of over $500. 000. 900. He further
pointed out that the government
has granted this company a mail
contract nc 81 per mile against a
lower bid of 90 cents, further sub
stantiating the responsibility OF the
firm.
The speaker declared that Meal
len. Edinburg and Harrington have
made tempting propositions to have
the company locate in those cities.
Completing his talk bennett
said: 1T Is time for Brownsville to
wake up. Too many big deals are
getting away from Brownsville.
Brownsville Is progressing, of
course. but IL is five years behind
the time and five years from now
will be ten years behind the times.
Let's wake up and bring these five
or ten years closer to Brownsville:
bring these down to- one year;
down to now"
The matter was referred to the
board Of directors.
The committee in charge Of erect
Ing signs on the entrance roads to
the city, giving q welcome, place
and hour Of Kiwanis meetings,
was instructed to have the signs
constructed.
The club also planned to extend
a special invitation TO all doctor
Ktwanians at the medical conven-
ton next week to attend the regu-
lar Kiwanis luncheon.
Robert Schwartz was introduced
to the club.
The financial committee Is to
meet at the State National Bank

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1929-07-25

Kansas City is soon to be connected with the Texas gas
fields by a gas main $50 miles long and capable OF de-
liverins 100 1000 cubic feet Of gas a day.
As to distance, then, there is nothing visionary about
The German scheme, in which engineers. economists and
labor leaders in the fatherland are showing keen inter-
est. The element Of competition with electricity is in
itself a matter Of interest. Though the public may be
under the impression that electricity is taking the place
of gas. consumption Of gas In the United States has in
creased 35 per cent in the last two decades and is ex-
pected to increase fivefold in the next 20 years.
The same may be true in Europe. In the German ex-
be supplied at high pressure at homes as far distant as
$50 miles. thus providing a single, colossal battery of gas
retorts for all Germany. Transforming local gas compan-
les into mere retailers of centrally produced gas. Such
is the startling undertaking on which a coal utilization
company Of Essen is about to embark. The Ruhr cannot
utilize the enormous quantities OF gas which is a by-prod-
uct in the manufacture OF blast furnace coke. Nothing
worries a chemist more than waste. Hence this single,
national gas plant.
This German project is the first rational plan for
tr!bution over distances as great as any thus far reached
by electric transmission lines. Engineers have dis
missed as impractical the scheme for generating cleo
trio power at the mine mouth for distribution over an
area comprising several states. At least up to this time
such schemes have encountered insuperable obstacles.
But there are no such obstacles in way Of long distance
distribution Of gas.

Editorial Comment
FROM DESK TO
New York Times)

Some Of the best scenery in the world is in Alaska
Mount Mckinley seen from the plains is in a class with
Everest and Kunchin junga. Nowhere are there more
magnificent glaciers, and nowhere except ir Norway can
one match the famous inside passage.
Few American tourists have seen these glories, or are
even aware Of them. When they think of mountain
scenery. they think of the Alps. Yet the mountains of
Switzerland are pigmies beside the snowy crests Of the
Alaskan ranges, and the glaciers around Mount Blanc
are tiny scraps Of white beside the blazing expanses of
Alaskan ice fields.
One group Of Americans is to be given a special OPP
portunity to visit the territory this sumne The gov
eminent owns a railroad up there. and is planning a
specially conducted tour for government employees from
Washington to Fairbanks and return. The trip will take
thirty-two days and cost q little over $500. For those
who can afford to spend the money this shuold be a vaca-
ton never to be forgotten.
