INJUNCTION BUGABOO THREATENS
 WINTER TURF SEASON IN FLORIDA

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 26.- Pounding hoofs of laundering bang tails may be heard by Florida s winter visitors and again they may not.
 It all depends, racing men say, on their ability to hurdle injunc- tion proceedings threatened by agi- tators for strict enforcement of the state anti-gambling laws.
 Fred O. Bberhardt, Tallahassee publisher, has instructed his attor- ney to institute proceedings in the event either of the tracks starts it's scheduled season, the grounds being that "horse racing is contrary to Florida law and operation of the tracks would continue a nuisance.

 Barclay Warburton, former mayor of Palm Beach, is president of the new organization, and Frank J. Bruen, vice president of the Madi- son Square Garden corporation, is manager.
 Both tracks operated last winter without pari-mutuel machines, il- legal under Florida laws. They plan to reopen this season despite the injunction threats.
 Keeney park operated for 15 days last March for the first time since the track was completed. The state law prohibiting pari-mutuel wagering was passed soon after the plant was finished several years ago, and the owner abandoned the meetings until last season, when the track was highly popular.
 The tracks were built at total cost of nearly two million dollars

Euen Buttons Don't Fit Carnera: He's tE,at Bic
By MARTHA DALRYMPLE
 "A. P. Staff Writer

LONDON, Dec. 26-Primo Carnc- ra is 90 big he has to have the buttons On his overcoat made to order.
 The 22-year- r-old lyalian giant, who is going to America to find spar ring partners who don't crumple up at the first swing of his ham like hands, admits he is big and has had his troubles finding clothes big enough to cover his frame.
 But it is all different now he explained in French.
 For since Primo's rise to fame as a fighter, London tailors have been making tracks to the little restaur- ant-hotel in Soho where he lives to give him specially made clothes free.
 Already he has 14 new suits and the fifth overcoat is in the mak- i2g.
 And now the buttons. Have you nice large ones?" asked the jovial bruiser of. the little filter who had just climbed down from a ladder after taking Primo's shoulder mea- surement. You see, my old overcoat, how silly it looks with those funny little buttons on such a big coat
 And leaning across the break fast table Primo picked up the oycrccat from a chair across the room. The tent-like creation, which weighed nearly ten pounds, had perfectly ordinary buttons down it's front, but they looked like pencil dots on the vast expanse of the coat.
 Besides big buttons Camera likes his overcoat of a nice light striped tan, carefully fitted around the middle ito make my waist look small"
 He chose the softest and the hghtest tan in the book of samples and he chose the suggest fitting model in the fashion book.

 If just 8 few breaks" had como the way of the Army, the whole story might have beea different. Ii the long clashes of such young men as Booth of Yale, Wolgast of Illi- nois and Elder of Notre Dame could have been prevented, West Point might be singing the praises of an urbcaten team instead of consoling Captain Red Cagle and his mates.
 The margin of missed tackles was not much, perhaps matter of inches, but in each case it meant the difference between victory and defeat for one of the best Army teams developed in many years.
 No one. who witnessed the sol- dier thrilling stand against one of the greatest football machines in the country, Notre Dame, came away with anything but admiration fer the stamina, courage and abil- 'ity of the Il cadets who played through the entire 60 minutes of action on a frozen gridiron.
 John Hertz Murrel, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, home of extraordi- nary athletic talent, played one of his greatest games of a four-year career at West Point against Notre Dame. When Cagle didn't carry the ball, Murrel did. The plung- ing fullback did not get off poor punt all afternoon, actually out bunting the All-America quarter back, Frank Carideo.
 On that particular bitter after noon Cagle and Murrel individual ly and collectively outshone any member of the famous Irish back field troop.
 "Do not overlook the Irish situa- ton in that Army game" writes a Notre Dame observer. ITO say they were lucky to beat the soldiers is to disregard the facts. Notre Dame went through the toughest

Meanwhile, Keys was everywhere, up

Gradually a large part OF the in

Dragging AT the same time he was
talking confidentially to rich men here
and there.
Four years ago he had a list of sixty
who could afford. and had agreed to
help finance a big air transport line
across the continent. He hired staff
of experts TO survey the possibilities
for a trans-continental line. When he
received their reports after months Of
work he laid aside the plan.
Aviation was an outlaw industry. No
laws safeguarded it. Pilots with old
war planes were killing themselves and
their passengers. There were no air.
ports. People could see that flying was
dangerous. The seven or eight manu-
facturers still alive and some of the
new ones, like Ford, were putting money
into aviation without much hope OF
ever breaking even. Those doing any

You are condemning old war ma
chimes and selling them to civilians for
junk. That stuff is killing people. Stop
selling it. Give the industry chance

must unload their passengers. mail and
express and transfer them to the sys-
tenn controlled by the Keys group.
There are now twoscore companies
operating over 1900 miles OF aerial
highways, with about 5000 miles more
about ready. Keys believes that this
mileage is only small beginning. He
visualizes more than 100000 miles OF
aerial highways criss -crossing the coun-
try and touching every town. He does
not worry much about the number OF
separate companies, nor the fact that
at least 80 more are being organized.
Predicts Consolidation.
He believes that many of the air lines
will be merged or consolidated in the
near future. So he is preparing to
finance the merger of number of air
transport companies during the next
twelve months.
Keys had other plans for air trans
port when Lindbergh few to Paris just
little more than two years ago. He
saw that Lindbergh had electrified the
nation that his fight had actually adj

in the public mind. He realized that
the hero would be a tremendous asset
to any organization.
Immediately after his fight Lind
bergh had hundreds of offers, jobs at
unheard-of salaries. He turned them
down. The country applauded. Moth
ing commercial could get Lindbergh.
But Keys got him.
Within few days after his return to
the United States the two sat down in
conference. Keys outlined his plans.
Lindbergh listened.
I'll take that job when you're ready
for me-" said Lindbergh.
Keys mentioned the salary he wanted
to pay him.
Cut it in half" said Lindbergh.
I'm not worth that much"
He heads the technical committee of

to extend their service over routes

HAITI IMPRESSED
BY TRADE SCHOOLS
Industrial Education System
Fostered by Americans Es-
tabIishing New Ideals.
BY the Associated Press.

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti June L.
The old Haitian idea that honorable ca
reers could be found only in 'white-col-
lar" professions is waning. Not only are
those professions overcrowded, but the
industrial and agricultural school sys-
tenn fostered by American administra-
tors is bringing new ideals to Ha1tlans
This is especially true when the
youths realize that by skillful use OF
their hands in the shop or on the farm
they can earn more than by competing
with myriad others as lawyers, doctors
writer's or government clerks.

development OF Haitian resources. sc
when. eight years later, the service
technique" corresponding to a depart
ment of agriculture, was organized, full
recognition was given to the fact that
a system of industrial schools in the
cities and of agricultural schools in the
rural sections would constitute an i'm
portant part Of the development Of
Haitis agricultural possibilities.
With an extraordinary credit of $685.
900 available for this system and a
budget of $236,133 for 1929, DR.. George
E. Freeman, director of the service
technique, has laid out comprehensive
program. Back of it lies the aim that
before the expiration of the treaty in
1886 each graduate of the public schools
will step into the world as the master
of trade.

their ballroom accomplishments per-

the recent statement of Maj. Cecil Tay-

Another point, he says. is that city
dancers arrive in couples and are to-

side they change partners, and thus
learn new steps. Furthermore. he adds,
city people dance too much. while their
country cousins take the recreation
sensibly.

schools have 1.056 pupils and an aver
age attendance of II per cent. Tailoring,
carpentry, electrical installation. auto
mobile mechanics and shoe repairing
are the favorite trades in these inst-
tutions.
In the rural farm schools the pupils
learn planting and canalization in the
school gardens. They also are taught
to fashion furniture, mats, belts and
cravats, tinware, trunks. baskets, pot
terry. hats and toys. All this in addition
to practical farming.

are producing good machines. Most
of the others are imitators. But while
they last they are providing work for
designers; and Keys hopes that they
will contribute valuable Improvements
to airplanes and engines before they
are compelled either to merge or retire
altogether.
ripening with golden promise marvel
at the uncanny foresight which has led
Keys into every phase of aeronautics.
Through recent mergers and reor-
CARNATIONS he controls a number of
airplane plants, each individually
equipped for special machines. One
factory is working on big multi-engined
planes, another on fast mail planes, an
other on light commercial jobs, another
on small craft for private owners. still
another on huge over-water machines
and another on small amphibians.
One of his companies is making pro-
pellers. Another is specializing in ex-
port trade. His pet concern just now is
the Curtiss Flying Service. It is To-
eating branches in IS cities. The COM
pany will continue to expand on the
chain-store principle.
Supplies Own Equipment.
Instead of depending on outside con-
Germs for airplanes, his own factories
will soon be supplying the transport
lines. Instead of waiting for others to
perfect navigation instruments, night
flying lighting and other equipment,
he has acquired one of the leading COM
panies In that field-to carry on de-
velopment work.
and something no other operator has
been able to do, he has started a Ma
ton wide chain of flying schools to
produce thoroughly trained pilots.
So with his air transport lines extend
ing from coast to coast and linked to-
gether with a vast system of aerial serv-
ice companies and feeder routes, Keys
is insuring their future by providing
sources of equipment and trained men
to carry on the development.
It is that sort of long-range vision
that has made him the most interesting
personality in the industry. And the
manner in which he is bringing all the
various elements virtually under the
same financial control is winning him
recognition as the most important per-
son In all aviation.

Nine years ago. however, there was
no commercial aviation. No banker
would have lent dollar on aeTonauti-
cal securities. Today any bank will
back a decent aircraft enterprise. The
industry credits Keys with having done
more than any one else to create that
confidence.
The day after he bought control of
CurtiSS he went out in the financial
district and procured $650000 to meet
the pressing bills and debts falling due
within "a hours He borrowed all OF
1t on his own personal credit.
Then he surveyed the situation. He
had been a member of the American
aviation mission TO Europe in 1919. On
the other side he had discussed with
officials their plans for heavily sub
sdized air lines. They did not depend
on public patronage. They were fore
ing aviation. Governments were flnanc-
ing air transport and construction Of
ns:r machines in private plants. In
rast 9. war they would have available
ire factories and technical stats.
Here everything had been let down.
A few military and naval planes were
being built in government plants That
was about all.
Proposition to Uncle Sam.
Keys went to Washington and saw
Newton D. Baker, then Secretary Of
War.
"You people down here are running
the industry" he told Baker. Europe
Is far ahead of this Nation simply be-
cause you will not give the manufac-
.t:.::-crs and engineers chance to pro-
duce new planes and engines. Now /
have PLAN
II the Government would spend money
with the manufacturers for new types,
he promised that the Curtiss company
would devote all 1t received toward
designing and improving equipment
until the United States possessed the
best machines in the world. One by
one the officials agreed to try that
policy.
1t saved the American airplane and
motor industry. That with what fol-
lowed put aviation where it is today.
Under the Keys policy the Curtiss
company did nearly 100000 worth Of
business with the Army and Navy in five
years. All the profits, except 100000,
were put back into engineering and re-
search A quarter of a million was
spent perfecting an engine for the fast
fighting planes A full million went
into variety of other developments.
But new engines went into new
planes. The Army and Navy COM
naenced making worlds records In five
years America held all records. Fight
ing planes grew out of the record
breaking machines. Oar air forces
could have driven any other power out
Of the air.
A continuation of that government
policy financed the development OF the
