GLIDERS TO CARRY
CUPBOARD MOTORS
Next Summer Expected to Bring
New Machine Out
for Snort.

Those who have not yet recovered
from being exposed to last Sum-
mer's crop of outboard motors, which
swarHned every waterway, will not be
expected to receive with good grace the
prophecy of the aeronautics branch of
the Department of Commerce to the
effect that we may soon expect to see
gliders equipped with cupboard motors.
In the report it is stated that four fac
tories in the United States are now en-
gagged in the manufacture Of gliders
and that these can be obtained in
knock-down models, with blue prints
for assembling. at from 500 to 500.
This would bring home constructed fly
ing machines for about 5000.
This would sound more like threat
than a prediction; ~for there is every
reason to believe that such thing will,
in fact, happen. We have both the
gliders and the motors; it is to be ex-
pected that some one will put them to-
gether. What will happen when this
takes place we ad~lit our inability to
predict. We are convinced that we are
facing a crisis.

Lieut.. Walter Hinton, president of

clared that the American city without
an airport lis going to be back in the

.The city which fails to establish an

port you will be unable to share in the
widespread aviation development new in
progress. Alexandria especially should
have an airport. since 1t is a center Of
historical interest and will attract in.
creasingly great numbers of aerial
visitors.
Alexandria is fortunate in having
an airport site available so close to the
city. Few of lis can realize what avia-
ton is coming to within the next few
years. Our younger generation all will
ny. The automobile has pushed the
suburbs out around all our cities and
the airplane eventually will put them
out still further. We should prepare
now for this change"
Lieut.. Hinton recalled his experiences
as pilot of the NC-4, the first airplane
to cross the Atlantic Ocean; as a pas
senger on a Navy balloon which was
swept by storms to the shores of Hud-
son Bay in g. wilderness from which 1t
took 81 days to escape: as pilot on the
