Chief OF Air Service
SCripps- Howard Junior Aviator

TINE world is rapidly awakening
i to the importance and neces-
sity of the advancement of aviation
Here and there. of course, some peo-
pie are still Slumbering. still un-
aware that the airplane is the most
powerful weapon of defense and the
greatest instrument of destruction
that all nations have.
The airplane, moreover, has been
the salvation OF the commercial
life of some countries particularly
South America. Our neighbor to
the south found the building of rail-
ways and roads difficult and ex-
tremely costly. For transportation
they had to rely on the auto. mule
and water.
There were many sections where
1t was impossible to use motor We
hicles, since the obstacles to be sur
mounted in construction roads ne
ceSSitated exorbitant expenditures.
The airplane, when its develop
ment reached the point where it
could be employed for commercial
work. offered South America a So
luton for its transportation diff
culties. Despite the danger present
ed by flying over certain of the
South American mountain, leaders
realized with unusual foresight that
all problems they confronted would
be conquered in time. And they
are being conquered!
We Yankees, as they call us. have
developed planes that transport tons
of equipment in South America. In
Peru in 1898, a plane carried a ny
drOelectric plant. weighing 55 tons,
from CuzcO to the mines at Huan-
uco in a few hours. If muleS-the
only other means of transportation
had been used. it would have re-
quired 10 days to transport the ma
Chinery.

Haute school teacher serving one >
five years for grand larceny and A.
bezzlement of state teachers re re-
ment fund securities, is stayin in

she is shown clemency through
parole.

DILLINGER USED REAL
GUN IN JAIL ESCAPE,
u. S. AGENTS ASSERT

BY United Press
FIT. WAYNE, Ind, April 5.-An-
other of the John Dillinger myths
was exploded today after Depart
ment of Justice operatives report
ed to James R. Fleming. United
States District Attorney, that the
slain Indiana desperate escaped
from the Crown Point Jail with a
blue automatic pistol instead of a
wooden gun.
The agents made their report

the investigation into the jail
break would be submitted in writ
ing by the Chicago bureau Of the

fingers girls. The agents said that
no facts upon which criminal
charges could be based were I'M
covered, thereby ending rumors
that Lake County officials or Jail
attaches might be involved.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Use of
Federal funds to compile data on
ancient safety pins and teach eury-
thymic dane ng had the vigorous
support today of Relief Administra-
tor Harry L. Hopkins.
Mr.. Hopkins brought out his own
"underslung vocabulary" to fire a
salvo of pungent invectives at
critics of FERA in New York. where
S3.187000 out of the city's $19,658,-
5l2 April relief appropriation goes to
such projects. Mr.. Hopkins said:
ANY one who criticizes or makes
fun of work-relief projects like that,
which make it possible for college,
trained white collar workers to earn
a living, are too damned dumb to
appreciate the finer things of life.
Those are good projects, damned
good ones. They were conceived by
competent research experts and
they give professional needy a
chance to work for their livelihood
instead of sitting at home and wait
ing for relief workers to hand them
over basket of groceries.
We haven't done enough for
white collar unemployed" he went
on. Il won't make fun of them be-
cause some people think they should
be out with picks and shovels fixing
the streets"
