VARIOUS AIRPORTS'
COMPARISONS MADE
William P. Long Of Boston Board
Of Park Commissioners
Makes Study.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 18.-William P. Long.
chairman of the board Of park COM
missioners and head of the municipal
airport, has concluded that Boston is
better situated in regard to its airport
facilities at the present time than any
community in the Eastern United
States
Nevertheless. he expects to work for
immediate development and expansion,
in order to bring about proper utiliZa-
ton of the port.
Mr.. Long, who has returned from a
study of various airports throughout the
country, points out that Boston's airport
situation is unusual among large cities
Of the East because the landing field
Is within 2 miles of the center Of the
business district.
He states that this compares favor
ably with the location of nearest air
port to New York-that at Newark,
which is miles from the City Hall
and with Buffalo's airport, which is 8
miles out.
no airport that Is at present Satisfac-
tory for commercial use. Buffalo Is con-
templating the filling Of land at the har-
boris edge at heavy expense. Similar
procedure is planned in Chicago.
Immediate expansion OF the landing
area and construction of an admins
tration and control building are planned
for the Boston field. The park depart
ment already has greatly improved the
situation at the port during the last
six months by extension of runways and
landing area. improvements contem-
plated during the next few months are
expected to develop it into a class A
field under Department of Commerce
specifications for size.

LAST LINK IN AIR
ROUTE IS OPENED
Mail Line Connects U. S. With
West Coast of South
America.

Planes leaving Cristobal, Canal Zone,
and Mollendo, Peru, on Friday inaug1l-
rated the last link in the commercial
air mail service between the United
States and the west coast of South
America long heralded as paving the
way for bettered commercial and cul-
tural intercourse between the two con-
tinents.
Officially designated as foreign air
mail No. 9, the route serves directly
the cities of EsmeraldaS and Guayaquil
Ecuador, and Talara, Truxillo, Lima
and Mollendo, Peru. Service will be
provided to points IN Colombia, and
will be extended to Chile as soon as ar
engagements are completed. Pan-Amer-
lean Grace Always, an American con-
Germ, is operating the route.
One Trip Per Week.
Service will be of frequency of one
round trip week for the present by a
schedule to leave Cristobal and Mol
lendo every Friday, with four days fly
ing time each way, and will connect at
CriStobal with planes from Miami. At
Miami, mail to and from points in the
United States is handled over the lines
operated by Pitcairn Aviation, along the
Eastern Seaboard.
Postage rates are 40 cents to Ecuador
and SIS cents to Peru per half once or
fraction. The rates cover domestic air
mail dispatch in this country wherever
practicable.
Long Flight May FL.
Effective with the first flight of the
Miami Central American route on May
81, stops will be made at Belize, British
Honduras; Tela, Republic of Honduras;
Managua, Nicaragua, and CriStobal.
Rates from the United States to British
Honduras and the Republic of Honduras
are Is cents per half ounce or fraction.
To Nicaragua they are 25 cents per half
ounce or fraction.
Special cachets will be used at the
post Offices for mail southbound on the
first flights. Letters should be marked

AERONAUTIC SCIENCE
ADVANCES IN 1929
Many Interesting Developments
Projected During First Four
Months Of Year.

NEW YORK, May 18.-The first four
months of the current year have pro-
jected many interesting scientific de-
velopments into the kaleidoscope pic
ture of aviation, which indicate the
status that the industry has attained
and point to even more noteworthy
developments In the future.
According to E. A. Ileman, chief
engineer of an aircraft accessory firm,
the current year is already witnessing
practical experimentation with Diesel
type engines, the gas-burning power
plants are also under development, for
the first time the airplane has been
brought within the price range of the
average wage-earner, noise elimination
devices have been developed and found
satisfactory. new types of airplane naVi-
gational and poWer-plant instruments
are now in production that are making
flying one of the safest of all means of
transportation, and, even more recent,
has been the introduction of radio,
which now serves not only TO keep the
air traveller in touch with ground COM
munication systems, but Is actually
guiding the pilot on his course when all
landmarks are obliterated from view.
Great Aeronautical Days.
Mr.. Ileman further points out that
adjustable propellers are being devel-
oped that promise to provide the air
plane with what is equivalent TO a
speed change mechanism of an auto
mobile there is also under conStruc-
ton the first of a series OF trans
atlantic floating airportS. and not far
distant is the development of launching
devices and arresting gear that can be
applied to civil flight.
All meaning. MI. Ileman states, that
civil aeronautics in this country Is no
longer On the threshold, 1t has arrived.
Aviation today, he concludes, has
entered our social, economic and bust
ness life, and becomes an integral part
of American industry and transporta-
ton.

Divergent IDEAS
ON NEW COWL|NG
Engineers Make Conflicting
Statements About Use of
Equipment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, May 18-Aeronautical en-
gineers are not yet agreed upon the
benefits of streamlining cooled en-
gines for airplanes with the special
cowling designed to boost planes speed.
They contributed host of conflict
ing opinions when the subject was
made a topic of a symposium by the
aeronautical division of the Society of
Automotive Engineers.
Several prominent engineers said that
the cowling, which is a simple covering
for the exposed cylinders of radial
engine, caused overheating of the CYL
inders and resulted in a dangerous con-
dition.
Others reported that they were get
ting good cooling conditions and in
creasing the speed of their planes as
much as Is and 20 miles an hour. The
cowling Is being provided by about a
dozen plane manufacturers as optional
equipment on their planes.
Representatives of the larger engine
manufacturing companies reported that
they were experimenting with the de-
vice in their laboratories and said they
looked upon 1t with considerable
promise.
DR.. George w. Lewis of the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics,
WHICH, ptI1cCSQ GIle new COWlLlS less
than six months ago in its Langley
Field laboratories, reported progress in
its development
He said that he expected to see gen.
eral employment of coWling on air
planes as soon as minor details are
worked out, with a resultant increase in
speed Of about 20 miles an hour for all
air traffic.
Cowling Of air-cooled engines on tri-
motored planes has so far proved I'M
successful, but engineers working on
the development believe they will be
able to remove the obstacles to success
by further experimentation.

COST OF PLANE ENGINE
PLACED BELOW DlESELS
Declared Approximately on Par Per
Horsepower With That Of
Rail Locomotives.

Any popular opinion to the contrary
Notwithstanding, the factory cost of
airplane engines per horsepower is con-
siderably less than that of marine en-
gines and approximately on a par with
that of railroad locomotives, asserted
George j. Mead Of large plane engine
concern in a paper delivered recently
by E. A. Ryder of the same company
before the Milwaukee section of the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers.
The usual cost of $18 per horsepower
for airplane engines is much lower than
for marine steam and Diesel engines,
which Mr.. Ryder gave as S135 and $145
per horsepower. The locomotive was
listed as costing $40 per horsepower.
including the tender. The miles per
overhaul of the aircraft engine were
given as 10000 to $4,000 miles, COM
pared with 10000 miles for marine en-
gines. 100000 for the locomotive and
10000 for the automobile.

WESTERN MAIL PILOT
TOPS 100000 MILES
Clair Vance Has Had But One
Crack-up in More Than 5000
Hours of Flying.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10 Lp).-On
the wing for more than 5000 hours car
rying air mail since 1920. Pilot Clair K.
Vance has passed the 5o0,oo0-mile fly
ing mark in service.
His service record disclosed few delays
by storms and only one crack-up. On
this occasion he ran into q mountain
during a heavy Snowstorm. He clamb-
cred out Of his cockpit unhurt, swung
the mail sack over his shoulder and
liked through the snow to the nearest
rail station, where he forwarded his
load.
Vance does not spend all his nights
away from home, although his flight is
from Oakland to Reno and back on
alternate days. Often he arrives at
one field, takes his own plane and re-
turns home for the evening. Next
morning he climbs back into the cockpit
and returns to the field, where he re-
sumes his flying schedule.

in Department of Commerce export
figures for 1928. The total value of
airplanes exported during the year was
$3,644,723, just $4s,7o6 short of the
combined total of the previous three
years.
Canada took 81 planes against 26 in
1927, Mexico received 20 as compared
with l in the previous year, and "A
were shipped to Peru, three times as
many as in 1927. Airplanes were sent
to ~ countries.
While approximately 1900 planes
were produced in this country during
the year, reliable reports to the De-
partment Of Commerce gave production
in France as LAO; Italy, ATS; &C.
