United States In scheduled trans
port flights during the nine-year
period between 1926, when pas
senger services began in this

OF this number, 3,243.059 few on

can lines operating in foreign

Christ's sepulcher prompted the series
Of "holy wars" known as the Crusades.
For nearly 200 years great Christian
armies marched across Europe to Pal
estine. Kings, princes, knights in
armor, monks, trouhadours and pious
serfs followed the banner Of the cross
toward Jerusalem. In 1899 they re-
gained control Of the Holy Land. The
Moslems recaptured it in 1887 and held
it, with brief interruptions, until 1918.
At the close of the World War Pales-
tine was made q League mandate
under protection Of Great Britain, and
has thus returned to Christian hands.
The present chapel over the sacred
tomb was erected by the Greeks in
1909. 1t stands in the center of the
fourth century basiiica. In all essen
tial respects the Jerusalem shrine and
the one In Brookland are identical.

All three are smaller than the giant
carriers Lexington and Saratoga,
originally designed as battle cruisers,
but altered during course Of construc-
ton when the cruisers were outlawed
by the naval limitations treaty. De-
spite their smaller size, however, the
three new carriers are regarded as
more efficient than the two larger
ships because of their design for the
specific purpose for which they are
intended. The first American carrier,
the remodeled Navy collier now known
as the U. S. S. Langley. still is in
operation.
The Ranger is a ship Of 14,500 tons,
with a waterline length Of 1913 feet,
beam of 80 feet inch and mean
draft of 10 feet inches. The York
town and Enterprise are Of 19, 900 tons

length of 761 feet, beam Of 80 feet

planes of the private owner type
manufactured in this country during
the past year. The Bureau of Air
Commerce and many leaders in the
industry look to the growth of private
and sports flying to establish the avia-
ton industry on more stable footing
Officers of the Army and Navy,
concerned with the aircraft produc-
ton industry as a matter Of national
defense also are hopeful that in

private flying may occur to bolster
the industry and permanently increase

While the production of aircraft of
all kinds continued during 1885 the
upward trend which began nearly two
years ago. it was in the field of small
civilian airplanes of the types suitable
for private owners that the most
substantial gains were made.
New Deal officials of the Bureau
of Air Commerce, headed by Eugene
L. Vidal, director of air commerce,
have worked steadily to stimulate pri-
vate flying and the design and pro-
duction of airplanes suitable for such
use. A number Of experimental planes
have been developed for the bureau

these airplanes show marked promise

these cloths in the tire compartment
at the rear of the car. Here they
seem to absorb just the necessary
dampness.
It's not such g. long way from the
tires to an understanding of the diff
ferential, even though there doesn't
seem to be any special connection be-
tween the two. Tires, however, vary
in size in accordance with the degree
to which they are inflated. The effect
Is the same as varying the size Of
the wheel. Thus II one rear tire is
inflated much less than the other the
car really is handicapped with the
rear wheels that are not mates.
Why is this an objection?
There are two reasons: First, the
variation in pressure causes a varia-
ton in the amount Of tire surface in
contact with the road. This upsets
braking and makes equalization i'm
possible. But, secondly, this varia-
ton in wheel sizes causes a constant
wear on the differential gears.
The differential Is q unit in the
rear axle. Its purpose is to permit
one of the rear wheels to slow down
and the other to speed UP as when
turning a corner or when the car Is
going over uneven ground. These
gears do not function when the car
Is running straight ahead over q
smooth road. Tire pressure may cause
these gears to operate continuously
as would be the case If the car were
driven with just one rear tire equip
ped with chains.
