KIDS ARE KINGS
OF The FUTURE
AT AIR SHOW
They 0verrun Everything;
Get Own Way; They'll Buy
Planes Tomorrow.
BY ERNIE PYLE
Times STAFF Correspondent

DETROIT, April 15.-The ma
tional air show, now in progress
here, is being overrun with children.
They flock to the show by the
thousands, swarm over the planes,
block the aisles, twist the cockpit
instruments out of shape, get I'M
der the customers feet, and walk
away with all the exhibition litera-
ture.
Most of the exhibitors let the
kids do as they please, for they are
the great airplane market OF the
future. They don't have to be edu-
Gated to flying, like older people.
Tuesday night two boys stood
looking up at the huge fourteen
passenger Sikorsky air exhibition.
One had pulled his blouse out Of
his pants, and was holding up the
ends, like washwoman. In it was
stacked dozens of airplane booklets.
The other carried a gunnysack
over his shoulder. 1t was crammed
full of pamphlets collected from
each exhibiting booth.
At last they stood, so tired they
could hardly walk, their pamphlets
burdening them heavily, gazing
longingly at Americas biggest am
phibian plane.
Seeing them, the Sikorsky sales
man walked over and gave them
two of his finest booklets that he
had been hiding all evening long
from children.

1921. The original herd consisted
Of ninety animals. It is estimated
there are almost 1000 in the park

Midas himself would be amazed to

conferred in the United States, con-
shutting more than 40 per cent Of

To economists it only means a
headache puzzling over the posi-
bic effects Of such a continued con-
centration, and figuring how it may
be moved out again.
Total gold stocks in the United
States now stand at 10000. 900.
a record for all time, a federal re-
serve board survey disclosed to-
day. The world supply is some
thing more than $4,000, 100000.
The golden flow continues to-
ward the United States.
During the last year stocks were
increased by $271 ,o00,000
The general effect of a concen-
tration OF such large proportion as
now in this country has a tendency
to strain other nations in maintain
ing the GOLD standard, according to
economists.
That which adversely affects
other nations, in turn adversely af-
fects the United States.

PIPE LINE CONTROL
LEGISLATION SEEN
Attempt to Pass Regulatory

Legislation designed to regulate pipe

was to prevent oil-producing companies
from engaging in pipeline operation.
This Is not unlike the action taken by
Congress some years ago when, by OPP
Grafton Of law, the large railroad COM
panieS were compelled to divest them
selves Of large holdings in the great coal
fields of West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania.
At the present time the Interstate
Commerce Commission exercises very
little jurisdiction over pipeline trans
portation companies. They are COM
PEELED only to make an annual report
to the commission, outlining revenues
and expenses
On the other hand the steam car
riers must not only make an annual
report showing revenues and expenses,
but must also make application for a
certificate of convenience and necessity
before any new track can be constructed
or any old one abandoned.
In addition, they cannot issue any
securities without the approval of the
commission, and they have been valued
and are permitted to make a fair return
only upon that valuation, excess profits
being recognizable.
The railroads, or at least a majority
Of them, insist that regulation of pipe
lines should be placed on a parity with
the regulation Of steam carriers.
