again." AS in the case Of the radio
range beacons, so with the weather
service. The Bureau Of Air Com.
merce has not established a regular
weather service on the Washington
Nashville route. Some weather OBJ.
servers are maintained by American
Airlines and the Federal Government
has few "on-call" observers. These
people, paid very little, have con-
tract requiring them to furnish two
weather reports daily. There Is noth-
ing in their contract to require them
to stay at their posts between reports;
they cannot do 60 because they have
to earn their livelihood by farming or
at other jobs.
Payne described flight from Seattle
east over the Northwest Airlines route,
leaving Seattle just after nightfall.
The pilot was flying on the radio
beam and ut was showing cats and
dogs. icing up," he said. Despite the
darkness, ice and snow, Payne relates,
I'VE went down and looked over" the
field at Ellensburg, Wash, and he Is
able to predict that If that is
regular scheduled stop on that run you
are going to have a crack-up sure,
maybe in 80 days" He makes this
dire prediction and then says. 'I will
back it up" Aviation people still are
trying to figure how Payne. flying at
night through heavy snowstorm, was
able to see enough of the Ellens-
burg field, which is not lighted, to even
be sure of its location, let alone its
condition.
At another point in his testimony,
Payne told the committee the follow
ing story to illustrate his contention
that the "on-call" weather reporting
method is inefficient: Il will tell you
an absolute case. One of these FORE
casters wanted to 60 hunting 50 he
turned the station over to an assistant.
The assistant did not know any better
and he sent In five-day weather fore
cast in one day. That is absolutely
a fact"
Perhaps by coincidence, that story
is by way Of being a classic in the
weather service It first was told go
years ago when the Army Signal Corps
operated the weather service and was
told at the expense of Signal Corps
sergeant, according to old-timers In
the weather service.

under the present administration poll,
tics have been permitted to play large
part In the administration of civil avi-
alton affairs. Experienced technical
men have been thrown out of key po-
sitions in the Bureau Of Air Commerce,
1t Is charged. apparently not because
they were inefficient, insubordinate or
incapable, but simply to make way for
some candidate possessed Of better po-
litical qualifications.
Several witnesses before the commit
tee have denounced in no uncertain
terms the release Of experienced
Bureau of Air Commerce men for pure
ly political reasons; others have re-
ferred to unfortunate results Of such

said. The ones that show q profit are
generally q cent or fraction Of q
cent q mile, he said.
"They are very close to the edge.
There is no substantial profit" Dolan
stated.
&c. G. rate increases which have
been awarded "would carry probably
a few more of them out Of the red: to
be exact, nine" Dolan commented.
The poor financial condition of the
air transport companies also was en-
phasized by Col. Edgar S. Gorrell. head
of the new Air Transport Association,
who said that the condition is very
bad" and that he knows of only two
companies "in the black" this year.
One of them is 'in the black to the
extent of $4,000, after doing several
million dollars of business" he said.
"The Government is not subsidiz-
ing the lines; the stockholders are
subsidizing the Government also" Cor
rell declared.
Comedy In Testimony.
All of the testimony before the COM
mittee, however, has not been so
serious. Some of it has had the aspect
Of comedy, even when intended as
serious charges against the Bureau
of Air Commerce. Typical is the
testimony of Investigator Payne, COM
missioned by the Senate group to
make a 9,0o0-mile inspection" flight
over domestic air transport lines.
Describing his flight from Wash
ington to Nashville, Tenn, on an
American Airlines airplane, Payne
testified before the subcommittee that
'the radio beacons on this run seemed
to be o. k"
This appeared strange to listeners
who knew there are no radio beacons
on the ngton-Nashville run.
There is beacon at Washington,
serving the New York Washington
Richmond route and the Pittsburgh
route. 1t has no course on the Nash
vile route. Nashville has a radio
range station on the Southern trans
continental route, which Is of service
to pilots only on a very small portion
Of the Washington Nashville route, at
the Nashville end.
Asleep at Switch.
Payne complained that they were
unable to locate the weather man" at
Charlottesville. At Bristol, he said,
somebody was asleep at the switch

Of the Department Of Commerce, and
you will get somewhere"
Another witness, H. M. Berry, former
airmail pilot and now oil company
aviation adviser, criticized political
changes In the bureau, telling the COM
mittee that officials Of the bureau
should be left there as career men.
Berry charged that in the Western di-
vision, eight experienced technical men
had been discharged to make room
for political appointees, and that the
men sent to replace them were men
that the gentlemen in the Depart
ment Of Commerce had never seen
before, or never heard Of, and they
never had any previous experience.
The committee also has before it
testimony that the airlines are not
making money and that the situation
Is fraught with danger. Carl Dolan,
former Post ONCE Department aero
nautical engineer, assigned to duty IN
connection with the Interstate Com
morce Commission airmail hearings,
testified that the airmal operators
during the past fiscal year averaged
46.8 cents per mile revenue, while op-
Grating costs were SAT- cents. The
operating deficit for the year for air.
mail contract operators amounted to
about 100000 Dolan said.
"Over 80 per cent Of the operators
are in the red" Dolan testified. IF
you are running a losing business you
are going to start economizing every
where, and economy in safety devices
involves lives in this industry.
Temptation to Lines.
He declared that in his opinion
neither the Post ONCE Department
nor the I. C. c. has tried to determine
whether the rates paid the airnail
contractors are safe" rates, and that
neither agency is equipped to Judge
whether it is safe from an aeronau-
tical point Of view"
It will obviously be a temptation
to the airlines, he said. If the Govern
ment "sQueezeS the rate too much"
to employ cheaper pilots and buy
cheaper materials.
II do not mean to say they have
reached that stage" he explained,
but If that status continues, they
may do So"
Out Of 80 airmail routes, there were
only lines able to show any profit
during the fiscal year of 1885, Dolan

The petroleum industry contributed

ice stations in 1885 at an indicated cost
Of $11, ,09S, 900. an increase Of 21.3 per

Among the peculiar noises which
engines offer are those which originate
in the oiling system. Where pressure
is high, and the lines are longer or
less well supported than normal, there
may be mysterious knocking sounds
similar to magnifed throbbing Of
ones pulse. Oil pumps often knock
If lubricant is thrown away from the
gears when the car goes too sharply

Is caused by the pressure relief valve
bottoming on its seat. This latter
can BE cured in some cases by in

In spite Of the fact that car sales
are definitely on the upgrade. many
people are still wondering how they
can join the parade of those who
are signing on the dotted line. They
are naturally inclined to believe that
the shortest route to the ability to
buy one of the shiny new automobiles
is simply the acquisition of more
money. But that, according to one
Of the most human doctrines of yes
terday, today and tomorrow, is not
the first consideration.
Money isn't what buys automobiles.
1t is Just a medium of exchange.
Under a simpler regime cars could
be bought without money, just as they
could be bought without the conven-
ience of show rooms, bills Of sale and

all of the other modern paraphernalia
for barter.
What really buys automobiles is the
same thing that buys everything else
work" More work would easily pro-
vide means Of buying more automo-
biles.
The trick In waxing the car Is to
rub briskly In order to bring up the
gloss. Do not rub hard. Several
women who make it a practice to
apply wax to at least one part Of the
cars body every week tell me that
a silk dusting cloth is excellent for
rubbing the wax to fine gloss. Brisk
rubbing dries the wax and gives luster
very much as bootblack obtains his
results when he polishes your shoes.

At Loeb Lynn Cannery

A sewage disposal plant has been
created at the cannery at Loeb Lynn
Heights which is expected to keep the
Little Youghiogheny river pure for
fish life.
A ditch 600 feet long has been dug
in a zig-zag manner under the super
vision of the health department, so
that by the time the waste products
from the pea vines and hulls reach
the river, they do not take so much
oxygen from the water, thereby in
surfing the fish a plenteous supply.
It was stated there are fish living in
the Youghiogheny at the point where
the waste products empty into the
river.
