COLLISION BY AIR.
THE question, often asked, whether
airplanes and birds collide In
flight has been answered to the entire
satisfaction Of at least one pilot at
the Anacostia Naval Air Station.
They do.
Flying to the Naval Air Station at
Cape May, N. j., the pilot saw a large
bird loom up directly ahead in the
thick mist which had blown up. The
pilot hauled back on the stick and
kicked the rudder and at the same
time the bird veered, but both maneu-

The bird struck the leading edge

ARMORES RAIDS
SHOW BIG SLUMP
Smashing of Gangs by U. s.
Men Results in Fewer
TheftS of Guns.
BY REX COLLIER.

A significant decline in gangland
raids on National Guard arSenals has
followed the smashing by Federal
forces of such big-time gangs as those
led by John Dillinger. Pretty Boy
Floyd and the Barker brothers.
After reaching a peak of "a robberieS
of military armorieS last year, the
wave of forcible seizures of Army guns
and ammunition has dropped drastt-
cally so far this year, according to
records of the Federal Bureau Of In
veStigation.
There have been 27 such raids since
January /. At this rate the total for
this year will be 36 per cent under
that Of last year.
Armory Robberies Rare Once.
An examination of official statistics
shows armory robberies were rare
until Dillinger, Floyd, the Barrows,
Harvey Bailey, Machine Gun" Kelly
and the Karpis-Barker gangsters went
on the rampage in open defiance OF
the Governments drive on crime.
In 1929 only one robbery OF this
kind was reported In 1880 there we're
two. in 1881 there were two more, and
in 1882 there were five.
In 1888, when President Roosevelt
and Attorney General Cummings
Jointly declared war to the finish
on the underworld as a result OF the
Kansas City Union Station massacre,
the total jumped to So.
The total of robberies since 1929 IS
18e. The loot included l,943 military
guns and 191 ,856 rounds of ammunl-
ton. The weapons seized were As
caliber pistols, .30-caliber Army rifles
.3O-caliber automatic rifles. machine
guns and miscellaneous firearms. OF
these approximately $50 have been re-
covered. along with 124,626 rounds OF
ammunition.
241 Arrests for Raids.
There have been 241 arrests in con-
nection with these raids and 179 con-
victions. There are Is persons await
ing trial.
It was the habit of members of the
Dillinger and similar gangs to re-
plenish their supplies OF nrearmS py
robbing armories and police stations
almost at will.
Attorney General Cummings said
recently responsibility for guarding
the military guns assigned to the Ma
tional Guard rests with the various
States. He has urged State authori-
ties to house their armories in SUBJ
stantial, carefully guarded buildings.

8O3,271 CARS
REGISTERED IN
STATE IN "a
4.3 Per Cent Increase Is
Shown; 1885 Looms as
Record Year.

A total of 503,27 motor vehicles
were registered in Indiana in 1884,
Todd Stops, secretary manager of
the Hoosier Motor Club. announced
today on the basis of final official
tabulations prepared by the Bureau
of Public Roads. This compares
with a registration of 770,071 for
1888, and represents an increase of
4.3 per cent.
The bureaus figures, Mr.. Stops
said, are slightly higher than the
preliminary estimates made early in
the year, and the totals for nearly
every one of the states are some
what in excess of the original COM
putations.
For the country as whole" Mr.
Stops declared, the official regis
tration figures was placed at 24,933,-
403 motor vehicles for 1884 This
figure compares with a registration
of 23,827 ,290 vehicles for 1888, an in
crease of 1,1O6,113.
"Of the total 1884 registrations,
21,,524,068 were passenger cars,
3,409,335 motor trucks, 615,315 trail
ers and semi-trailers and 93,492
motorcycles.
With automobile production rum
ming at a very high level so far this
year, it is probable that the 1885
registration will come very close to
