AIRPLANE terminal
PLANNING IS PUSHED
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, october 1.-Contracts
totaling $500, 100000 have been let to
the infant industry devoting its ener-
gies to airport construction. These
contracts today call for completion Of
the projects involved within the next
Is months.
In addition there will be provided
tremendous amount of work for the
airport constructors in bringing present
airplane terminals up to date. So far
over 1000 airports, which have cost
approximately S300.000.000 have been
constructed in the United States within
the last two years.
The new industry will not be swamped
by this volume of work, but at least 1t
will be kept increasingly busy. 1t is
calling for the development OF new
type of technical engineering. Two
years ago few people. even in the avia-
ton field, knew how an up-to-date
airport should be laid out and con-
structed Glaring faults in the work
already done are showing up constantly.
Up to five years ago real airports. as
thew are now understood, were prac-
ticaly unknown. There were only a
few hundred private planes in exist
ence, and most Of the private owners
used vacant sections OF their own es-
tates or cow pastures for landing f1elds
When the planes in both commercial
and private operations became more
numerous, these fields expanded In size
until the huge passenger carriers made
larger airports. safely designed and well
located. an absolute necessity. That
marked the beginning Of the airport
building industry.
The industry is even now seeking
sedulorsIv for new ideas in conStruc-
ton. One cement company has just
inaugurated a competition with $4,000
in prizes for the IA best airport designs.
This concern hopes that this may result
in the submission of some startling ana
practical ideas in airport planning.

SELLING RETARDS
ADVANCE ON CURB
Market Shows Tendency to
Rally Despite Heavy Of

BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 1.-Continuing
the rally in evidence after the first half
hour, prices on the curb today were
somewhat improved over yesterday, but
frequent selling waves kept advances to
a minimum.

popular induStrialS and oils were called

Memphis Natural Gas came within a
fraction of its peak. but other natural
gas shares, such as United Gas, National
Fuel Gas and Arkansas Natural Gas,
were held back as each bulge invited a
wave of selling. Tampa Electric, which
was strong recently on reports that 1t
was to be acquired by insult interests,
continued its decline.
Prospects of a decrease in crude oil
production for the last week seemed to
offset the price cut in Pennsylvania

North American Aviation was the
first of the air series to hit new low
record price. Some of the other COM
panies, despite reports of new orders,
were lower. The reduction in mail rates
set for next year and the mixup of
mail contracts in South America proved
bearish market factors for some air
transportation securities.

TOBACCO AUCTIONS
OPENED IN VIRGINIA
Growers Hope for Big Returns.
Crop Declared Of Good
Quality.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DANVILLE, Va, october Tobacco
planters throughout the Old Belt were
watching today the opening Of another
selling season. While optimistic of the
range of prices on account Of the gen.
eral excellence of the crop, they were
conscious of the bitter disappointment
In Eastern Carolina, where prices
proved to be about 8 cents per pound
under the cost of production. The crop
there. however, was less favorable than
that in this belt. The chief cause OF
price failure is held by crop experts
to be overproduction, the Virginia
and Carolina growers failing to heed
the increased tobacco productivity OF
Georgia, which Is turning gradually
from cotton to tobacco because OF the
damage done by the boil weevil.
Statisticians profess TO see an IN IN.
stance of evolution which may hnaliy
upset the traditional economic situation
OF the old established belts. Georgia,
it has been found, has soil which pro-
duces a type of tobacco similar to that
in Virginia and North Carolina. IL
ripens early, is suitable for cigarettes
and hence the large buyers no longer
have the keen appetite for the domestlc
tobacco by the time the marketing sea-
son opens here. -. .,,,,o,
Danville will have half a miIilon
square feet of auction moor space IN
eight warehouses and daily capacity
to absorb a million pounds of raw leaf.
The success of this season is said to
denend on the foreign demand, accord
ing to dealers with large overseas al
filiations. The stocks of Virginia Caro-
lima tobacco in Europe, and particularly
in England, are lower than they nave
been for years, and this has led TO a
high hope of unusually good prices.
Col. A. B. Darlington, president OF
states, told The Star correspondent to-
dsv that he foresees a good season for
the Virginia planters, although he
stresses the Importance of keeping the
law of supply and demand in view,
since it is this which fundamentally
controls prices.

 Where Surgeons Failed

Chicago, Nov. [ LP-A slap on the back did for little Leonard Gilbert yesterday what science had failed for five months to do.
 Last spring the two and one half year old boy swallowed a screw. His parents did not know of it until later, when severe spells of coughing developed. Two operations were performed with out success. the screw being wedged in the wind pipe in such a manner that surgeons were un- able to reach it without endan- gerinG the Child's life.
 Yesterday plans were made to take the child to Philadelphia for a third operation. He began coughing violently, His nurse picked him up by the heels and slapped the boy hard on the back.
 The screw dropped from his mouth.
