bound during the winter will open

DETROIT HANGAR is
MODEL FOR COUNTRY
Fine Structure Dedicated at
City Airport.

of the Detroit city hall, at Connors
and Gratiot avenues, the new million
dollar exposition building and han
gar of the Detroit city airport APP

The hangar. dedicated at the All
American Aircraft show, was built
under the direct supervision of Perry
Fellowes, city engineer.
The airport site occupies $50 acres
of ground and includes, besides the
main hangar, city owned service
hangar and two privately owned han
CARS. The field is 81" shaped and is
completely drained by a system of
tile drains in rock filled trenches re-
sulting in more than seventeen miles
or drain tile and five miles of crock
sewers.
Comparing the hangar to those of
other arports Wallace said, Il do not
believe there is better equipped han
gar in the country than that of the
Detroit city airport.
Good Runways.
"There are more paved runWayS al
| the Detroit airport than at any other
airport | know of. The safety and
convenience that these afford are i'm
portant factors. believe in placing
this airport in permanent place in
national aviation"
There are four paved runways two
and one-half miles in length, 100 feet
in width, providing six direction
service for the planes. Future plans
provide for additional direction and
parallel runways, Wallace said.
The exterior of the hangar, which
extends 1,014 feet in length and 200
feet in width, is faced in buff-colored
brick and trimmed with cut stone.
with stucco over the door openings.
The interior wall is faced with salt.

The hangar has two doors with a
clear span of so feet, 20 feet high
ten doors with clear span of 10C
feet, 20 feet high, and two doors with
a clear span of $50 feet, % feet and &C

trance and exit for airplanes. The
l50-foot doors are motor operated
The filling of the creek bed which
traversed the field Of the airport has
years, and together with the grading
operations, has provided smooth
surface with no slope more than
per cent in any direction. The fills II
some instances have exceeded 80 feet

This is not contemplated until ad
ditional property has been acquired
when another hangar similar to tn,
one just dedicated together with al
administration building and a powe
house of sufficient capacity to hea
the present and future buildings, will
be built on the port.
1T is planned that undergroun,

Happy Little Octopus
Torturing Witnesses
Water Fine, in Spots
The Family of Five

Not so long ago the government
became much excited because Standard
Oil was supposed to be worth almost
d billion dollars" and chopped the big
octopus up into several small pieces.
Each went its separate way, little
octopus on its own account.
Now Mr.. Teagle, head of Standard
Oil of New Jersey, one of several
brothers and sisters, says his company
made in 1929 $120,912,794.
That amounts to per cent on ST.
400,000,000 and Mr.. Teagle says that
if the oil industry had been wiser in
its methods he would have made d
great deal more.

The great gambling house at Monte
Carlo is sad. Last years profits
amounted to only 575 per cent, lowest
in years.
That compares we'll with the inter-
est rate on government bond, or
dividends on legitimate industrial
stocks. But it isn't much for the
gambling house.
That 575 per cent interests those
that are foolish enough to gamble on
horse racing, in gambling houses or
otherwise. So-called "honest games"
are arranged to yield "the house" a
certain profit of about 40 per cent
on every dollar bet. You can imagine
what dishonest games make.
Many remember, when the Panama
canal was suggested, how the gigantic
sum staggered imagination.
We lent forty times that sum to
Europe to help the processes of kill
ing, and staggered nobody but little
people that sold Liberty bonds far be-
low par.
Now the War department studies
the plans for bridge over the Hud-
son river at Fifty-seventh street in
New York.
1t would cost $1So,O0OOOO, but that
agitates no one.
We have passed into the billion
dollar era. Mere millions attract little
sttentlon.

The Jugoslavian King Alexander is
accused of allowing police to torture
political prisoners. One brought to
court in a wheel chair says he was
beaten, tied with ropes, whipped with
canes, at intervals, all night long.
Other prisoners were treated in
similar fashion.
Civilization, backward in some
places, in others makes progress. Not
long ago men accused were tortured
everywhere, to make them tell what
they knew. Torture is no longer legal.

When Queen Elizabeth decided to
cut off the head of her lover, Essex,
she was praised for her restraint in
not having him put to the torture.
His abiect submission, and fear of
things he might have said under tor
ture about the woman whom he indis-
creetly described as an ugly old
hunchback, may have caused the
unusual gentleness.

we do hear from him the communi-

unless, which IS quite possible, ne
wishes to give the message TO the
world, in which cas- whatever he
says will be published

It with a .25-40 and killed it in
