BILL GIVES MONEY
F0RSPEEDPLANES
War Supply Measure Has
Provision for Army to
Spend Million.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Congress Is beginning to loosen the
purse strings on the building Of speed
planes by the Army and Navy.
The $4,000 900 War Department
appropriation bill. approved yesterday
by the House and due for final con-
gressional action in the Senate to-
morrow, allowed up to 81 900 900 to
be expended by the Army, under the
direction Of the President, on racing
airplanes.
$4,000 Given in 1880.
Not since 1880 has either the Army
or Navy had money for such Develop
ment. As . result, all the outstanding
world speed trophies and records have
gone to other nations. In 1890 Con-
gress, at the insistence of then Repre-
sentative and now Mayor La Guardia
Of New York, allowed only $4,000
for the Navy.
The Army and Navy figure 1t takes
about 100000 to build and fly a
speed plane. But the 1920 900 was
spent for experimental work, including
the development Of high-speed
engine.
Last Held Here in 1929.
With the sl.ooO,ooo appropriated
for the Army. however, and by the
use Of other funds which may be
made available. the United States
again may be able TO try to regain
the world speed title.
The last time the title rested in
this country was in 1929 when Lieut..
James A. Doolittle won the Schneider
Cup races with top speed Of about
$40 miles an hour. Great Britain now
has permanent possession Of that cup,
having won in three years, the last
with q speed Of $50 miles.

British Columbia Spends $lO,OOO,OOO
 Yearly On Health

VICTORIA British Columbians are spending an average of $10,000,- 900 yearly for health institutions and services, of which $3,500,000 is the annual cost to the province and the municipalities, Hon. Dr. G. M Weir declared today on the eve o1 his departure for the East on state health insurance, superannuation and other departmental issues.
 The gross cost of health service to the province and the municipalities was $3, 100000 last year, not includ- ing $2OO,O0O of deficiency in funds for the purpose. This year the cost is estimated at $3,500,000.
 Upwards of $1,20O,OOO in hospital bills went uncollected in 1883 while 100000 persons on relief had to be cared for in any event through exist ing agencies, Dr. Weir continued.
 The province, he said, is looking for better means of safeguarding public health, where prevention will be emphasized rather than cure. The provincial secretary said one of the chief reasons for his trip is to discuss an actual basis for state health insurance with eastern act uaries.
