Chief of Air Service

Scripps-HoWard Junior aviator
A CCORDING to the latest Bu-
n reau of Air Commerce reports,
the state of California leads in avia-
ton with 766 licensed aircraft and
ISL licensed transport pilots.
Probably that much-talked-of
California weather has something to
do with this record people out
there, perhaps, are more inclined to
make some use of it-besides talking
about it.
Out there, when an airline hostess
informs passengers on board that
they will have nice weather and
smooth trip she knows what she is
talking about. In connection with
this. most airlines instruct their
pilots to report by radio-telephone
the air condition at the altitude at
which they are flying.
Thus, in addition to the routine
weather and position report, airports
have complete records of air condi-
lions at different attitudes. And
when word is passed along that the
air is smooth at a certain height
pilots whose schedules take them
over that section of airway within a
reasonable length of time there
after take advantage of that infor-
nation and climb to that altitude.
And there they stay =. to the great
err comfort and pleasure of the pas
Sengers.
Everything possible for the safety
and comfort of passengers is taken
into consideration by the airlineS. AS
1 said once before, airlines are par
ticularly careful in bringing down
planes not to lose altitude so fast
that the passengers are inconven-
fenced. Usually when a transport
plane is 100 or more miles away
from it's destination. the pilot will
start to lose altitude gradually. By
the time the airport for which the
plane is headed is reached the great
ship is at the proper height to ne
gotiate the landing without sud-
den drop.
Pilots also are careful not to bank
transports too steep. They have to
bank the ship to turn, of course, but
they try to do the maneuver as
smoothly and fatty as possible.
QuestiOn-How can you tell If a
plane is tail heavy?
You will know this when your tail
starts to drop while in level flight
and when it requires pressure on
the stick to keep the plane level.

Junior sviators. here's new type
model for you 10 build.
It's a profile model built to scale
from the Luscombe Sport plane,
which is a popular craft among
senior sirmen.
The Lusoombe. a high-Ving two
place monoplane, mas a maximum
speed Of 1853 miles per hour and
cruising speed of IA miles per hou-'
which accounts for its popularity.
The builder can color this model
and add various accessories which.
from a profile view, viii give IT an
identical appearance to the larger
plane.
But II exceptional flying ability IS
desired it is advisable TO keep the
model as light in weight as possible.
Exceptional stability. balance and
grace was shown by this model IN
test fights. II is simple in con-
struction and lends itself 20 speed
rather than endurance.

Both General Motors and
Chrysler were well taken to reach
new highs. The motor equipments
gave a demonstration of strength
in sympathy with the auto shares.
Farm Shares Climb
Renewed strength in grain
prices touched off a fresh buy
ing movement in the farm equip

Montgomery Ward was particu-
larly active and rose about a
point on turnover of thousands
Of shares.

COTTON GAINS
EXTENDED

NEW YORK, July 9 G.N.sO.
The cotton market extended its
early advance slightly in later
trading as lack of offerings en-
coUraged buying. Prices ranged
As cents bale higher, with the
better gains made in the near
months. Light trading character
lied the market after the initial
call. Lower verpool cables
tended to restain the advance.
The trade was buying in the
near months and locals and Wall
Street were also purchasers. The
Continent switched to the buying
side and some short covering was
reported. Offerings were light,
with the South, the Far East and
New orleans contributing most
of the cotton. Liverpool turned
seller to some extent.
After the private estimates on
the cotton acreage have been
made, the Government estimate
is awaited, and when the report
comes out, private estimates as
to the correctness of the Govern
ment report are made. There was
an inclination today, to believe
that the Government figure was
a bit too low.
Towards noon, prices were
Steary near their best levels. July
was quoted at 1205c, up 9 points;
october, .11.73c, up 8; December,
1890, up 7, and March 11.70c,

CHICAGO GRAINS
MOVE HIGHER

CHICAGO, July 9 U.N.sO.
Grain futures were sharply higher
during the early dealings on heavy
buying inspired by strong Liver
pool cables and black rust dam
age in parts of the spring wheat
territory.
Wheat started about a cent
higher and when buying on short
and long account came into the
pit, prices moved up about SC
from the preceding close. Corn
also gained considerable ground
and prices were better than a
cent higher.
At noon wheat was up 2Bc,
corn, " to 1bc; oats, 70 to Zee
and rye, l to 11ac.
Liverpool, due unchanged, was
~ to 1Bd higher at midday.

1t Makes No Difference

THUS, if Mr.. Roosevelt has had an Interior pur-
- pose in meeting the gents and ladies of the
press in mood on the sunny side of surly he has
been wasting his guile and any man that cunning
would be too wise to try.
1t is an odd case in which a President is sus-
pected of arching his brows, puckering his mouth
and spng baby-tak to the reporters merely because
he meets them with neither snarl nor sulky
growl, remembers most of them by name and en-
cages in rather free discussion.
IF certain of his recent predecessors enjoyed less
personal popularity with the reporters the reasons
for that resided in their demeanor. But it made
difference anyway. Mr.. Hoover once had been
the greatest personal presS-agent next to Henry
Ford that this country has yet produced But when
he became President he conducted himself at his
infrequent press conferences though he had once
been scared by lead pencil. He wanted his ques-
lions written out and submitted in advance and from
these he selected the questions to- which he could
return the most impressive answers.
Indeed, there suspicion frankly discussed
in Washington at the time, that Mr.. Hoover used
TO drop some queries of his into the hopper in
order that he might be able to the papers as
medium for explanations intended to do his Admin
istration no harm and possibly little good.
Yet outside the frankly political writings he took
none the worst of it in the papers just Mr. Roose
welt, in his time, and with his more personal way
of meeting the reporters gets none the best of the
lineage,
