Airport Total Grows.


The beginning Of the great Civil
Works Administration program of air
plane landing field construction in all
parts OF the United States, ON which
more than $4,000 men now are at work,
found the country with q total of 2,188
airports and landing fields Of all clas-
sihcations, according to the annual re-
port Of the aeronauttcS branch Of the
Department Of Commerce.
The total Of 2,188 Is exclusive Of any
Of the G. w. A. projects, which 1t was
tentatively estimated might eventually
reach . total Of 1000, doubling the
number Of aviation fields in the country.
The total. as Of January /, represents
an increase Of II over the total Of
Ait fields Of all kinds In the country
On January l, 1888.
OF the fields now available in this
country, 637 are lighted wholly or In
part for night operations.
The number Of municipal airports
increased from $40 to 563 during the
past year, while the number of COM
mercial fields increased from 621 to
652. Because Of the economy program
the number Of Department Of Com
merce intermediate landing fields was
reduced from $50 to 265 during the
year. The number Of auxiliary fields
increased from 476 to $50, many Of the
Discontinued intermediate fields revert
ing to the auxiliary class. The Army
increased the total Of It's airdromes
from 81 to S. and the Navy built three
new airdromes to increase its total to
IL. There were IS miscellaneous Gov
ernment, State and private airports. as
compared with So . year ago.
California, as In the past, led all
AL - a1
ports. Texas was second. with IA,
and Ohio third. with lit. Alaska con-
tinued its leadership In auxiliary fields,
with q total Of II.
The situation in the District of Co
1umbia remained unchanged during the
year In so far Is the annual report
shows. Washington Is credited with
three fields, one Of which, Washington
Airport. lies wholly or In major part
IN Virginia. The disputed District Of
Columbia boundary line location re-
.ress there. Considerable progress was
made here during the past year On the
construction Of the new Boiling Field to
replace the present inadequate Army
11eld, though the new field may not be
in use for flying purposes during 1894.
Many improvements were made ct the
Anacostia Naval Air Station.

II the National Automobile Show,
which closed In New York last night Is
q criterion, the annual exposition to be
held by the Washington Automotive
Trade Association here January ~ to
February 8, Is destined to establish new
attendance records. A nation that has
driven its present cars through four
lean years, now anticipating change
for the better, gave evidence at the
Gotham display that its appetite for
something new in motor cars is ra-
pacious one.
It set an all-time high In show at
tendance to give leaders Of the motor
world further evidence In support OF
their conviction that the industry Is
due for q brilliant comeback In 1884.
For the first time in two years, motor
executives are speaking Of the outlook
in terms that are specific. The maxi
mum estimate of production and sales
50 far uttered Is 100000 cars and
trucks. Those to whom 1t seemed un-
duly optimistic-a 80 per cent increase
over the 1888 total-are less confident
after the New York show that this ap-
praisal Of the future is too high. The
motoring public has shown that it
would see an end to the famine through
which 1t has driven in its present auto
mobiles.
Traffic Conference Called.
This week will find the Federal Gov
ernment re-entering the trafnc safety
picture when Secretary Of Commerce
Daniel c. Roper acts as host to the
committee on model municipal traffic
ordinances. The committee. an off,
shoot of the National Conference on
Street and Highway Safety, will con-
vene here Thursday and Friday.
Its especial function will be to con-
slider notifications and changes in the
model municipal traffic ordinance de-
veloped In 1881. Municipal traffic con-
troll progress since that time has been
marked and fusing added experience
into more advanced regulatory code
is proposition which finds hearty
backing among State and city motor
vehicle officials.
The committee meeting will bring
the best traffic minds of the Nation to
the National Capital, which, inciden-
tally, is one of the largest cities in
the country with a traffic control sys-

1t is unending, this friendly disagree
ment between the fuel physicist and the
automobile engineer. For many years
the latter challenged the gasoline re-
finers to produce motor fuel Of a
character that would permit the use
Of higher compression motor car en-
gines. Within the past year, however,
the situation has been reversed, with
refiners asking the car designer to
create an engine Of higher compression
that would get the utmost In perform
ance out Of the gasolines available
now.
Apparently the two have got to-
gether in 1884 as never before. The
average Of engine compression ratios Is
to l, with q maximum Of to
offered by one company. Ratios Of 6.5
are not uncommon.
What does it mean? Briefly this:
The tighter given quantity Of gaso-
line is squeezed within the combustion
chamber of an engine, the greater
amount of energy it will produce.
That means economy, especially with
engine heads designed to burn non
premium fuels, at least in large num-
ber Of instances
Engine horsepowers are higher, but
not at the expense Of lower gasoline
mileage-not this year!
