PLANES OBEY
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Pilots Must Hencef0rth
Watch Signals Ala
Motorists

New York City - (UP) - Mo-
florists, who become annoyed at
the frequency Of traffic lights,
may find consolation in the fact
that pilots of airplanes now are
required to obey similar signals.
The harried mOtorist may point
out that there are no traffic jams
in the air. However, if he would
observe operations at the larger
airports, he would realize the ne
cessity of safeguarding landings
and takeoffs with red and green
signals similar to those which he
encounters at intersections.
Typical traffic control may be
seen at the eNwark metropolitan
Airport. T. A. Schmidt, American
Anyways station manager, recently
explained the system.
"The traffic control tower is
equipped with a portable seach-
light of special design" Schmidt
said. "It throws red or green
beam, at the will Of the operator.
Although the source of illumination
is an automobile headlight bulb
of only so candlepower, 1t is greatly
amplified by powerful reflectors.
1t is clearly visible for five miles
in daylight and eight miles at
night.
"Armed with this searchlight,
the attendant in the tower surveys
incoming and outgoing planes. II
he desires to stop ship from land
ing, or taking off, he merely aims
the red beam at it, signaling the
pilot to remain aloft. or stand by,
as the case may be. If the runway
is clear for landing. or taking off,
he aims the green beam at the
ship in question. 1t is against reg
ulations for a pilot to land, or take
off, without first receiving the
green, or all clear signal"
A similar system is employed at
with the exception that the signal
lights are mounted on the roof OF
the Chicago Municipal airport,
the control tower. and the opera
tor also gives landing and takeoff
orders by radio to pilots.

PUT PEOPLE TO WORK

There is a, good deal of talk
about government money being
available for the benefit of people
who are out of work. If there be
any truth in this, the funds should

impossible, to think of any more
pitiable position than that of a
girl who can find nothing to do,
has nothing ahead and no home of
her own.

A survey prepared by the
Agricultural Extension Service
of the University of Arizona re
veals the fact that for the third
successive year since 1929, Ari-
zoua has drastically reduced its
cotton acreage.
Figures compiled show the
1929 acreage as approximately
226. 900 and the 1892 acreage,
only one balf that amount or
113, 900 acres. The short staple
acreage amounted to 81, 900 acres
producing about II 900 bales.
Looking at the situation from
a national point of view it is es'
timated that the United States
crop was 12, 100000 bales or q
reduction of more than four mil
lion bales from the large crop of
1881. This was due both to a
reduction in acreage and to a de
crease in yield. It was consider
ed to be the smallest crop in
nine years.
The total world production, in-
cluding that of the United States,
is estimated at 24,OO0,0O0 bales.
which is about three million
bales less than the preceding
year, the reduction occurring
largely in the United States.
Although production was low, a
noticeable market trend was the
fact that consumption in 1882
was materially above the periods
of heavy cotton consumption in
1880 and 1881.

OVERTRA|N|NG
HURT VINES

LONDON, July 25.-The de-
feats suffered by Ellsworth Vines,
ace of the United States Davis
Cup team, in the interzone finals
against England at Paris were
attributed to overtraining by
British commentators today.
Commenting on the collapse
of Vines in his match with Fred
Perry on Sunday, A. w. Myers
said in his sports column in the
Daily Telegraph today:
ut wasn't so much his ankle;
it was the cumulative results
of Overtraining. Vines, like
every other member of the
American team, had been kept
too close to the wheel. The
Davis Cup and his own respOn-
Sibility in the campaign, to put
it plainly, had got on his
nerves. He was fighting his
mind as well as his opponent"
The Manchester Guardian, in
stead of seeking excuses for the
Americans, lauded the play of
Perry and Bunny" Austin.
'"The defeat of the United
States brought about the most
astonishing reversal known to
tennis FORM" the paper said
editOrially. "B efOre the
matches, hardly a single critic
suspected that Austin and
Perry would snatch more than
a few games from Vines, who
last year was the champion
of two hemiSpheres. The ex-
pertS even suggested Austin
lacked the spirit and strength
to make any sort of a fight
against Vines. They have their
