BUYSPLANES

War Department approval of a
structural reorganization, stream
lining Army divisions for the pres
ent-day warfare of maneuver," is
disclosed by Secretary Woodring,
The secretary at a special press
conference also announced the
award to North American Avia-
tion, Inc, of Inglewood, Calf, of
a $3,429, 900 contract for 100 of
the worlds fastest" observation
planes.
1920 Planes by July
Deliveries on this, and on past
and projected contracts, he said,
will increase the Air Corps fleet
by two planes daily until it at
tains at the fiscal year-end next
June 80 the authorized strength
of 1920 planes recommended by
the Baker Board.
The reorganization plan, to be
tried out on "teSt tube" division
in maneuvers next summer, be-
fore final adoption, will cut to
1899 the division strength of
$1,000 under which the World War
warfare of positions" was fought.
Military strategists are agreed
the post war gains in the speed
of tanks, armored cars, planes
and artillery, and in the firing
power of the infantryman, had
definitely eliminated the trench
fighting which brought the bloody
Stalemate on the western front.
Theories Partly Proved
Army officers said European
statesmen realize repetition OF
the last wars combat OF attrltlon'
would, moreover, seriously imperil
the political stability of the
powers in conflict.
In pursuance of theories already
partly proved in the Italo-Ethio-
plan war, supply and contingent
duty" units of the present diVi-
sion will be telescoped or pooled.
Brigade and infantry sections
within the proposed division will
be eliminated. Headquarters and
service units will be combined.
Motor and animal transport,
bands, supply reserves dncluding
ammunition), requirements, rein
forcing artillery, engineer, medical
and quartermaSter units will be
pooled.
Plane Speed Increased
The pooling system would make
the Signal Corps, Ordnance De-
partment and artillery responsible
singly for services to each division,
instead of vesting such response
bility with the componentS within
the division, itself.
Woodring said the new obSerVa-
ton planes, like other types on
order, were the SWiftest, most pow
erful and dependable possessed by
any military power. Average speed
of all types under contract has
been increased by 20 miles an hour
in recent months, according to the
secretary.
Identified as the O-47 type, the
new model is three-place, single
engine monoplane with retractable
landing gear and wing flap "air
brakes" to facilitate landing on
small fields.

SALES MOUNT

Gains in the sales of home ap-
pliances and mechanical domestic
aids this year, ranging from II
per cent to as high as 100 per
cent, and in some instances es-
tabliShing an all-time record, are
disclosed in a survey by Invest
ors Syndicate.
This increase has been accom-
panied by a gain of more than
five hundred thousand in the
number of American homes wired
for electricity, the survey shows.
j. R. Ridgeway, president, said:
"The women of America, in
their efforts to brighten up
and better utilize their homes,
are responsible for sales gains
this year ranging from Ill per
cent, in the case of gasoline
washing machines, to pearly
100 per cent in the CAV of
mechanical StOkerS.
"The survey by our national
mortgage research department
reveals that on July 81, 1886,
electrically-wired homes in this
country reached the record
breaking number of 21,591,OOO,
which figure contrasts with
21,O74,OOO on the same date in
1885,"
