WASHINGTON, Nov. IA Up -
Secretary Stimson today ordered Of
ficers and civilians employed at the
War department here to wear badges
bearing identification photographs.
The order, which applies also to
newspapermen and others customar-
lily having business at the depart
ment although not employees, was
described as part of a general pre-
cautionary program at army estab-
iishments. Similar action, it was in
dictated, will be taken by the navy
and some other government depart
ments.
Other defense developments of the
day included an announcement OF
award of an s18, 1929, 500 contract for
navy airplanes and parts to Con-
solidated Aircraft corporation, San

AIR TRAFFIC
|. BOOST FORECAST
Prediction Made By Robert
Hinckley In Talk Written
For NUM- Meet

CHICAGO, Nov. IL Up - The
conference Of the American Munich
pal association was told today that
federal airways experts estimate that
the volume of air traffic by 1915
will be from twenty to thirty times
what it is today.
The estimate was made by Robert
H. Hinckley, assistant secretary OF
the United States department OF
commerce., in an address written for
the associations 18th annual con-
ference.
Last year." he said, there were
only $4,000 civilian pilots in the
country. Next year there will be
about 100, 900. At that point we
will begin taking as our objective a
million pilots. I am serious about
it. Our federal anyways experts estl-
mate a volume of air traffic by 1915
that will be from twenty to thirty
times what it is today.
Our research people r conduct
ing experiments with new-type small
airplanes which already indicate a
safety factor far above anything
known before, and which the aver
age man can learn to fly in a frac-
ton of the time formerly required.
These experiments are not yet COM
plete and I do not wish to make any
statement about them except that
the day Of easy, safe, cheap flying
for the average citizen is much
nearer than you think.
This will mean a tremendous
volume of civil flying that is not
very compatible, considering the
safety factor, with scheduled air
transport of passengers, mail, ex-
press and freight

in the aging proccss--thc force

you have to have a steady stream
of blood to maintain life. SO the
blood pressure goes up. The heart
not only contracts (systole) but
dilates (diastole) so you have two
points of blood pressure-systolic
and diastolic. In general, the
normal blood pressure is l20 sys-
tolic, 80 diastolic.
The question of what is a nor
NAL pressure is one which is not
entirely settled, despite all the
figures that have been collected.
If a man has an occasional blood
pressure of 40 systolic, does that
mean that he will later develop
continuous high blood pressure
the state known as apprehension?
This question has been studied by
Dr.. Edgar A. Hines, Jr., at the
Mayo Clinic, in follow-up exam
nations of a number of cases. In
general, it may be said that in
people with a systolic pressure
over l40 and a diastolic pressure
over 80 at the age Of forty, it
means that in ten or twenty years,
about 80 per cent have permanent
nigh blood pressure - hyperion
sion. But this, as you notice, takes
ten or twenty years, and it may be
another ten before symptoms or
disability appear.

OLIVER STANLEY
ATTACKS HITLER
GREAT BRITAIN


War Secretary Oliver Stanley.
in his first important public
speech since he succeeded Leslie
Hore- Belishs, bitterly attacked
Adolf Hitler Saturday.
Exactly five months after the
start of the war. Stanley said: Il
have only one war aim-to win the
war; only one peace aim-that
peace shall be lasting"
Addressing a public meeting at
Newcastle, England, city hall, as
part of the cabinets campaign to
rally the country behind the gov
ernment's war program, Stanley
said:
1T Is not only our physical and
material security which Germany,
under Hitler. threatens to destroy.
They challenge every standard Of
value that for generations we have
set for ourselves. Our virtues are
his tHitler's) vices and our vices
are his most priced virtues. What
we term progress, to him Is deca-
dence.
"Kindliness, tolerance, justice.
truth and those individual liberties
won so hardly and priced so dear
ly, to him are objects for con-
tempt and pity.
His ideas challenge ours and
his standards are set against ours.
One or the other must prevail.
The world cannot survive half
slave and half free and we are
determined that 1t shall be free"

Behind The Stock Ticker
Business Trends ~ Seen By Wall Street

1929. Ninety per cent Of Bayuk's
production is concentrated in five
cent cigars. Sales in this price
class have risen sharply in recent
years, even though the trend of
total cigar consumption has been
down for two decades. The British
embargo on American tobacco
will have little or no effect on this
company.
Operating economics foreshadow
further moderate gains in earn
ings, which will probably be
higher this year than the s4.25 a
share estimated for 1899. The 81
dividend may be increased, al
though earnings are being used to
retire preferred stock from time
to time.
Bayuk common is retained for
income and its market outlook is
better than average. However.
caution Is indicated with regard
to additional commitments be-
cause of the possibility of higher
taxes, which would reduce earn
ings in the long run.
Reports are that: Bendix Avia-
ton has speculative following. &.

NEW YORK-C stock
market psychology Is dominated
by jittery uncertainty about BUSH
ness. war and politics. The long
succession of dull and inactive
markets indicates that spectators
are sitting on the sidelines and
waiting to see what happens next
before they undertake new COM
mitments. The bulk of recent
trading has been on an investment
basis. In the prevailing state Of
nerves, most Wall streeters are
afraid that bad news of any kind
would start a temporary panic
and knock the market for loop.
But informed and level-headed
analysts are convinced that these
fears are exaggerated. The pres
ent recession in heavy industry
has been well discounted market
wise. Moreover. the exceptionally
large backlogs carried over from
the year-end give this type of in
dustry a momentum far greater
than 1t had a year ago.
This momentum makes 1t UNI
likely that there will be any dras-
tic curtailment of productive &C.
tivity for several months to come,
by which time the seasonal spring
pickup plus possible war orders
should take up the slack.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS consum-
ers' goods industries and retail
sales are holding up surprisingly
well in the face of adverse weather
conditions. War orders are almost
certain to be substantially larger
in the next five months than they
have been In the last five, whether
warfare becomes more aggressive
or not.
