For these craft almost any body of
fairly smooth water is suitable for
landing and taking off. More and
more lakes are being explored in
this new way by sportsmen pilots.
Most manufacturers exhibiting
small planes in the Chicago show
are either adding seaplanes to their
lines or making floats optional
equipment.
Who are these private pilots, the
men who fly to their lakeside cab

ming, and the enthusiasts who live
in the air every weekend? Are
they American millionaires? BY no
means. While many rich men are
flying enthusiasts, it is not true that
most private flyers are millionaires.

But the big future field of Amer
lean aviation - the field to be
stressed at Chicago's air show-will
be private planes for the butcher,

undeniably becoming more and

It is as comfortable, as easy to

And the airplane is now used by
about 10, 900 private owners and OPP

Thorpe's Sad Example

But we haven't yet mentioned the
most famous example of our thesis
Jim Thorpe. Thorpe, recognized
as probably the greatest aIl-around
football player in sports history, al
SO tried to become a professional
baseball player.
John McGraw, manager of the
New York Giants, liked him and
after giving him seasoning in va
rious minor leagues, found a spot
for him in the Giants outfield. The
great Indian was undeniably a good
box office attraction. He could field
pretty well, throw accurately and
run the bases like a deer. But to
save his neck he couldn't hit curve
ball. The pitchers got his number
in hurry and thereafter he was
helpless at the plate. After a few
months McGraw had to give him
up.
The Thorpe baseball fiasco was a
great disappointment and McGraw
was consoled only when he discov-
cred another Indian, Chief Myers,
who caught well and hit hard for
several seasons.
| Ever since then big league base
ball magnates have never gone into
a other over football stars and such
grid players as came up to fast
company invariably did so because
they happened to be standouts as
college baseball players, too.
Besides Thorpe there are other
sad examples. Ernie Nevers, the
All-American back of Stanford, was
dismal failure when the st. Louis
Browns tried to turn him into a
diamond performer and Earl Cald-
well, famous Yale back, faded rap.

a uniform on him.
Why do they fail? Big league club
trainers offer one answer. They say
that college football tightens and
weighs down young mans mus.
cles enough to handicap him for the
specialized movements necessary ir
major league competition.
Maybe Sammy Baugh hasn't be-
come musciebound. He may have
kept out of enough line plays and
may have devoted himself so spe
cially to the throwing of passes and
the running of ends that he will have
just the combination of qualities t.

Closed Doors to World

About 500 years ago a Tokugawa
shotgun (dictator) closed Japan's
doors to the world and her foreign
shipping stopped. But for centuries
before that, Japanese fishermen and
delegates of the Daimyo (Feudal
lords) sailed extensively along the
China coast. They even voyaged to
Siam, Sumatra and Java. In the
earlier open-door days, the shotgun
ate designated certain vessels
called "go-shu-in-sen" as trading
ships.

BY JOSEPH w. LaBINE

A great silver bird drones
through the skies. Looking up
ward, we can hardly believe
that the history of this graceful
creature encompasses less than
half a lifetime. Only "a years
ago at wind-swept Kill Devil
Hill, North Carolina, Wilbur
and Orville Wright first raised
their patchwork flying ma
chine" into the air.
Few people notice the 60
foot granite shaft that now
marks the site of this historic
flight, but equally few are the
people who remain uncon-
scious of aviation's growing
place in our national - aye,
international - life. The year
1887 was so important to avn
alton, and 1888 promises to be
so much more so, that Chicago is
fittingly staging its first great In
ternational Air exposition January
% to February 6.
Into the vast International amphi-
theater at the stockyards, site OF
the annual International Livestock
show, will be packed the airplanes
and equipment that have made re-
cent aviation history, together with
those whose epochal achievements
are still in the future. The visitor
with an adventurous CLINT in his
eye will be unable to view this i'm
posing array of speed and power
without rejecting on Americas ae-
rial progress.
The Oceanic Future.
He will think first, probably, of
the transoceanic possibilities of avi-
alton, a field first brought into the
public eye by Chairman Joseph P.
Kennedy of the United States mar
thine commission. In November
this far-sighted official suggested
that American steamship compa-
MES add flying boats to their fleets
and warned that not to do so might
prove quite short-sighted."
Mr.. Kennedy is right, because
regular scheduled air service be-
tween London and New York will
probably start this year. Within
three years a fleet of huge trans
ports capable of carrying 100 pas
Bengers from New York to Europe
will be in service.
So much for ocean aircraft. On
land, commercial aviation has TAX
en- so many rapid strides that many
cities are finding their airport IA
cilities crowded. Chicago, Washing
ton, Los Angeles and New York
are a few of the centers forced to
expand their landing space to &C
commodate the larger craft.
Americas fighting air force is
now the best in the world, equipped
with four new types of war craft
including the XB-15, called the
worlds biggest bomber. 1t also has

A DISTINGUISHED gentleman,

With that, he hauled off and blast

she leaned against the fence.

Mortified companions, II believe I'll
