GERMANS PLAN NIGHT
AIR PASSENGER N

BERLIN, March 8.-(Pl-Night
passenger air lines soon will be in
augurated between Berlin and the
Polish frontier, and between Berlin
and southern Germany. The Luft-
hansa is also at work devising a
night route from Hanover to the
western frontier.
The success of the night route to
Russia has encouraged the Lufthan-
Sa to extend its system of neon and
other powerful lights greatly, and
to plan in time to cover Germany
with a network Of illuminated
routes.
Travellers from the Scandinavian
countries will, before many months
are over, be able to leave Stockholm
or Oslo in the mornings, arrive at
Berlin before darkness sets in. de-
part thence on a night route, and
reach Munich, Frankfort, Stuttgart,
or even Switzerland by the next
morning.

is a project Of the North German
Lloyd to equip all the steamers that
are to go on pleasure cruises next
summer with airplanes SO the par

Sea Airport VIII

Off Florida Coast

NEW YORK, March ga float
ing airport which will include a
machine shop, a hotel and restaur-
ant will be ready for use 300 miles
at sea this summer, it was announc-
ed by Henry j. Gielow, Inc, naval
architects, at g West Forty-third
street, its designers.
1t will be the first OF several
planned and will be anchored mid
way between New York and Ber-
mazda.
In reality, it will be a floating
steel island. 1900 feet long, 400 feet
wide in the middle and 200 feet
wide at the ends. Its design guar
antess it to ride waves at 100 feet
in height, with little motion and to
afford a landing spot for planes at
least 100 feet above the ovean's sur
face. Its cost will be approximate
~ $1,500,000. Chains 21,150 feet
long will secure it.
Planes on landing will find a force
of forty-three men on hand to re
pair and refuel them while their
pilots dine and nap in the hotel. A

BIG AIRDROME
FOR new YORK
Over $1,50O,O 900 Will Be
Spent On Largest Air
Port Project

NEW YORK, March 8.-(P)-
Roosevelt field. starting point Of
many a history making trans-Atlan-
tic flight, is to be converted into a
$1.500 900 airdrome.
Backers Of the project say they
are prepared to spend that amount
to equip and develop the field,
which they plan to purchase. The
field, now in the hands OF a real
estate company, is 381 acres in area.
A marker concentrating Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh's New York
to Paris flight will be erected in the
heart of the airdrome, nea the spot
from which he took off.
Plans include two huge concrete
steel hangers, each LOO feet long
with a half mile of concrete aprons
$50 feet wide. Workshops, service
stations, an administration building,
flood and boundary lights, beaconS
and other equipment for night fly
ing are included in the project.
A stub mast for dirigbles will be
added later to make the airdrome
suitable for both lighter-than-air
and heavier than air operations.
Backers of the project believe that
Roosevelt field provides the closest
ample facilities for such a project
near Manhattan.
Fast express bus service and am
phibian flying service to a point on
the East river have been planned as
the best method to provide fats,
adequate transportation.
Although the field is now in use
for operations. it will be ready for
heavier traffic in an improved state
by June l, hackers Of the project
say. Buildings and other facilities
are to be added after the physical
development of the field is finished.

Big Eagle Is Killed
After Attacking Man
Who Tried to Aid Ii

OZONA, Tex, March S.-(P)-The
next eagle that goes fishing and
can't fly after its wings get wet will
have to get along without assistance
from Paul Perner, ranchman.
Perner and a companion, Joe
Pierce, Jr., went to a watering tank
near Ozona to fish. AS they ar
rived an eagle, which apparently
had been doing some fishing of its
own, attempted to fly away, but its
water-logged wings failed. Perner
started toward the bird, intending to
take it out of the water and dry its
wings.
The eagle turned and met Perner
with a vengeance. Before the bird
could be beaten off it had ripped
the frnt out of Perner's shirt.
Pierce and Perner killed the bird.

cost is proving to be a highly valuable addRtssm
to the building world.
1t took 20 years really to utilize what the
chemists discovered about cornstalks. Two
decades ago a very satisfactory paper was
made from cornstalks, but nothing was done
about 1t. Now the manufacture is being under
taken in really serious way in face of the
dwindling supply of pulp paper.
Recently at least one book, several editions
OF newspapers and two farm papers were
printed on cornstalk paper. Much Is yet to be
done to make the production of this type of
paper commercially valuable for economical
transportation of the cornstalkS to the factory
and low cost of manufacturing must be worked
out.
Straw, by means of destructive distillation.
has been used as a source of carbon straw
tar, illuminating gas, acetic acid, metilyI
alcohol and other products.
The big question in the case of straw Is as
to which Is the most valuable-its use as a
fodder, fuel. fertilizer or q source of manu-
featured articles
The dairy and citrus fruit industries have
been so. developed by the agricultural chemists
that they, like the meat products leave prae-
tically nothing to be thrown away 49,
The Held for the agricultural engineer and
the agricultural chemist Is so broad and offers
so much for research that now with the move
ment well underway 1t Is likely that the next
decades will see marvellous strides toward the
elimination of farm wastes which in the cases
OF cotton and grains alone amounts TO 300..

Farm Waste to Be UHlized

THE manufacturer vino not only makes his
regular product, but often turns out by
products to the point where he can cut the
price of his primary article down to cost and
take his profits in by-products, may be jump
or two ahead Of the farmer, but the farmer is
beginning to awaken and is preparing a jump
or SO himself.
The chemist has been called In as an ally,
and his aid Is to be utilized in an effort to
find some use for the waste products which
now make UP anywhere from 20 to 80 per
cent of the produce
Much has been accomplished already. Take
the case of cotton seed. In 1860 the cotton
seed was merely garbage. Ten years later it
was found to be successful fertilizer Cattle
fell heir to it in 1880 as a food and by 1890
humans came in for a share of it in the form
Stituent of margarines.
The meat packers have reached the maxi
mum In utilization Of the animal they process
and practically nothing has been wasted
Potato growers have found: that their surplus
can be manufactured into starch. Corn husks
have been used for fuel and found successful
Many other such uses of farm products could
be cited
Just now the most rapid strides are being
made IN the use Of sugar cane bagasSe and
cornstalks.
In the case of the former very salts
factory board has been obtained. With the
dwindling wood supply the endless board of
sugar cane waste which is turned out at low
