REPORT SHOWS
LARGE INCREASE
IN AIR TRAVEL

American Always, Inc, during
the first eight months of this year
carried 9.8 per cent more passengers
over its lines than were carried in
the entire year of 1881, according to
a report of LeMotte T. Cohu, presi-
dent, received here today by
Charles M. Sproule, traffic repre-
sentative.
The tremendous increase in air
traffic, including mileage flown,
and passengers, mail and express
carried, is reflected in the Ameri-
can Anyways report, and is an indi-
cation that all PREDICTIONS made late
in 1881 and early in 1882 on the
growth of the aviation industry this
year will be fulfilled, Sproule says.
American Always mileage in
August increased to 1,092,909 miles
from 1,075,4 ,487 in July. Passenger
traffic enjoyed a 5 per cent in
crease in August, 10,537 passengers
being carried as compared with
10,026 in July. Mail traffic showed
jump from 1885 pounds to
136,071 pounds. The company also
carried 1853 pounds of air express

FLYING A AIDS
VETERAN CAR TO
REMAIN In RACE

One of the most unusual records
ever claimed for a gasoline was
set recently when r. A. Parrish OF
San Francisco came chugging
through to Reno in the oldest car
to finish the Reno old car race.
The ancient two-elyinder vehicle,
1902 Autocar, powered with the
new Associated aero-type Flying A
gasoline and fabricated with Cycol
motor oil, made the long, hard grind
from San Francisco with little dif-
fieulty, against a field of so cars
ranging in vintage to 1915.
Parrish, a San Francisco road
grading contractor, has owned the
old Autocar for only two years. Its
long list of former owners stretches
back into the dim years of the be-
ginning of the century.
Closer in its resemblance TO a
buggy than to the powerful modern
automobile, the Autocar is with
out any trace of windshield or top
and is piloted by "tiller" and
controlled by brace of foot pedals
such as one finds on a piano.
when we made the claim that
the new Flying A aerotype gasoline
makes old cars run like new, we
weren't thinking quite as far back
as 1902" declared P. E. Allan, do
mestic sales manager for Associated
Oil company. Nevertheless, the
record set by Parrish offers proof
that the claim is not far wrong
even when applied to the earliest
of automobiles.
"Parrish's Autocar, bearing the
official Number One in the caravan
OF old automobiles, went chugging
right along upgrade, down-grade
or on the level, and rolled into
Reno with the best of them. Its
! driver is a confirmed user of Fly
ing A gasoline and Cycol motor
oil whether he is driving the 1902
creation or. a modern automobile,
and gives full credit to these pro-
ducts for his excellent showing in
the race"

CAPITAL GIVEN
COLLECTION OF
DECEASED CHIEF

PAWHUSKA, Okla, Sept. Is.
U.P( - A rare collection of Indian
finery and handiwork, gathered by
the late Bacon Rind, chief of the
Osages. has been sent to the Smith
sonian institute at Washington for
public display.
The colorful old chief often visited
the institute while on his annual
visits to the Great White Father in
behalf of his people. He was
greatly impressed.
Shortly before his death last
March, he called his guardian,
w. H. Mckenzie, and requested that
his collection of a lifetime, if ac-
ceptable. be placed in the institute.
Mckenzie, obtaining consent of
the chiefs heirs and Indian Off
cials, offered the valuable collec-
tion.
The collection contains more
than so pieces, representing work
of the best artisans of many tribes.
Bacon Rind took advantage of his
oil riches, Travelled extensively
among the various tribes and made
the collection.
From the Yakimas in Washing
ton to the Seminoles in the Florida
everglades, he gathered trinkets.
Many were the gifts of chieftains.
All pieces, from a sacred gourd,
which he sent to be blessed by a
cardinal, to Indian ceremonial
whistles, were handmade of the best
materials. He allowed only pure
gold and sterling silver to be used,
only otter and beaver for skins and
only genuine eagle feathers.
Included was his famous otter

Hoover Ancestors
Early Settlers

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Is. U.P)-
President Hoovers' ancestors on the
maternal side came to America at
about the time of William Penn
and attended Friends meeting
with the founder of Pennsylvania
at the Falls Monthly Meeting,
near Pennsbury, Pa, according to
DR.. Albert Cook Meyers.
The Presidents immigrant an
cestor, Andrew Hoover, came to
this country at 10, about 1880, and
first landed on American soil in
Philadelphia, DR.. Meyers said.
He settled for a time in Earl
Township, Lancaster County; lat
er moved to Carroll County, Md;
then to Guilford County, N. C.
His son, John, moved with his fam
lily to Ohio, and from there to
Iowa, where the family lived when

of General Air Express, in which
seven major air line operators are
cooperating and which inaugurated
service on August 8, serving l30
cities on $4,000 miles of airways.
During the year 1881, American
Airways carried a total of 50,899
passengers on its system, but on
September l of this year a total
of 56,328 passengers had been car
ried, or 5,439 more passengers than
were served throughout 1881, with
four full months of operation to
go during which period it is antici-
pated that another $4,000 persons
will fly the lines, which serve SO
of the largest centers of popula-
ton, on 10,059 miles of established
airways, with passenger, mail and

We started making camp. A sort

the best shelter We made signal

We sent rockets looming into the
bitter night. There was no re-

could not keep warm.
At dawn. when the tide was out.
we reached one wing of the plane
and took off the canvas cover. We
used this to make a roof for our
camp.
Altifilisch had repaired his radio
receiving set and we could hear the
news from Angmagsalik that three
trawlers, a motor launch and an
airplane were looking for US.
Light Sighted
We decided TO explore the island.
The children had colds. Their feet
were swollen and bleeding from
landing on the rocks. We used life
preServer covers to make shoes for
them.
Another night set in. At about
10 p. IN. we saw a light, which
seemed to be some 10 miles at sea.
The ice fields were thick. and often
the light would be hidden by the
ice.
We realized that if the ship
passed us, We might never get off
the ford. We used our last fuel,
and our last flares, stalking every
thing on attracting attention.
We wont The ship acknowledged
our signals! We were overjoyed.
Slowly the ship, the Lord Talbot,
worked its way through the ice
fields, and after three hours it was
standing by, waiting an opportun-
ity to send a boat ashore.
1t was too cold to sleep, but we
were too happy to sleep, anyway.
AT dawn the Lord Talbot lowered
a lifeboat and we got aboard.
Just as we left the ford, a huge
iceberg crushed the remains of our
plane.
Captain Watson and his crew, all
Scots, gave us a hearty welcome.
We were dirty and tired, and went
to sleep in the captains quarters
as soon as We had tried to thank
him for rescuing us.
Our plane performed 100 per cent,
and the extreme weather caused the
end of our flight. We are pro-
ceeding on the Lord Talbot to

ALASKA INTERESTS AT THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL By WAS

WASHINGTON, d. C. = Delegate
Wickersham has received pleas
from Alaska requesting that efforts
be exerted to secure greater radio
privileges for the Territory, so that
with increased watt facilities there
might be encouragement for the
erection and operation of more
powerful broadcasting st a t i n s,
whereby various towns in a section
of the Territory might be connected
by remote control.
The trouble is that under exist
ing law Alaska is part of the fifth
zone and the radio facilities are di-
vided among the states and terri
tories of that zone in accordance
with their population. In that re-
spect Alaska is somewhat handi-
capped but the Federal Radio Com
mission has been very lenient and
the Territory today has "a per cent
more radio facilities than it is en-
titled to under the law.
However, a bill to amend the Ra-
dio Act of 1927 was introduced in
the House and has already passed
this branch of Congress and is now
in the Senate. The bill contains a
clause, recommended by the Com
mission, excluding the Territories
from the zones established, but
otherwise the bill applies with
equal force and effect.
C. NICK. Saltzman, chairman of
the Commission, was long associat-
ed with the signal corps and also
the Cable and Telegraph System in
Alaska, and fully appreciates the
needs of the people of Alaska.
He holds out the encouragement
that if the bill passes the Senate
and becomes a law, sit will be pos
sible to assign additional facilities
to Alaska"

forget that men are not placed un-
der arrest in Alaska for merely
seeking employment.
Those who are engaged in cod
fishing along the Aleutian islands
complain that they are unable to
sell their catch at a profit. This is
attributed to the low tariff on the
fish and the fact that Japan floods
the Pacific coast markets at a price
that the Alaska fishermen cannot
compete with.

Possible Future Legal

Seeking to forestall possible

peake Beach Railway Company
has filed with the Public Service
Commission of Maryland a petit
ton for an intra state certificate
of public convenience and neces-
sity for its proposed ferry extern
sion.
The company asks that it be
afforded a hearing on the peti-
ton, although neither admitting
nor denying the jurisdiction of
the commission.
In its petition the company
points out that it has been en-
powered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to extend it's
rail lines and operate a ferry from
Calvert county to Dorchester
county, across the bay, that it
will obtain money for the venture
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and will begin work
six months after the granting of
the prayers of the petition.
The company also set out that
it had amended it's charter to
take in the operation of the ferry
although it believed that it's orig
inal charter under the laws of
Maryland permitted such opera
ton. The amendment was made,
it was stated, because some ques-
ton had been raised.
