plane manufacturers and the Government be
broken to pave the way for real development of
our air industry along sound engineering lines.
Here are some comparisons:
Remembering that civil aviation in the United
States lost $45OO,OOO last year in its operation,
spent nearly $1O,OOO,OOO for gasoline and could
have saved more than half that amount in fuel
bills had it been using Diesel engines, Pan
American Airways has but go per cent of its
equipment left to carry out its mail contract
across the Pacific.
Startling Contrast in Figures
CONTRAST this with these facts: All last year
~ German fliers were making two round trips
per week between New York and Europe. They
did not carry an ounce of mail because the Post
Office Department declined to grant them an
air mail contract.
Had they had one, however, they could ave

because they were DieseLpowered ships If they
had operated with gasoline, they would have
burned $4,000 worth more fuel than they did

The main reason why no contract was granted

the attitude Of the heads Of the police depart
ment, who do not give their men the ammunition
to practice with.
1t is very rarely that really good pistol shot
is found. It takes lots and lots of practice to
learn to shoot. And yet the officer must know
how to shoot so WELL that when he draws that
gun he must hit his target.
Well policemen don't get very much money
and ammunition is quite expensive. The police
man is expected to know how to shoot, but the
officials won't give him the necessary bullets
Situation All Wrong
VTNEE park police who have small force to
patrol miles and miles of roads and take
charge of all the parks, do not get any money at
all for bullets
The Metropolitan Police get very, very small
amount which is entirely inadequate. And it
seems to me that this situation is all wrong.
If we are going to have police department
that can control the crime situation properly,
and accord us the protection they should, then
they certainly should be given funds to purchase
ammunition and keep in constant practice with
their guns.
Some day the emergency may arise that will
imperil your own home and then you will want
a policeman who knows how to shoot to de-
fend you.

"Not Generally KnOuOn"

IT is not generally known, but three years ago
an American passenger plane, in service on
many domestic airlines, was sold exclusively
abroad. Since then, however, the Swiss, Dutch
and German lines have turned to oil-burning,
Dieselpowered German passenger planes. The
reason? From Berlin to Switzerland the average
German ships burns $79 worth Of fuel oil, while
the gasolinepowered American plane consumed
$186 worth of fuel.
1t is known to but few in America that last
November the first German passenger flying
boat-not plane with pontoons- containing 20
paSSengerS-10 army officers and 10 naval
officers, completed two round trips between
Germany and Long Island Sound at an average
speed of 200 miles per hour
The trips were sufficient to prove all the Ger
