Sees Wider Use
OF Helicopter
0gburn Tells Of Findings in
Study of Aviation's
Effect on Life.

CHICAGO.-Prof. William F. Og.
burn of the University of Chicago,
speaking at the Chicago club, pre-
dicted greatly increased use of hell
copters by individuals and indus
tries. Professor Ogburn, who has
just completed a survey on avia-
tons effect on life, with money Civ
en- to the university for that purpose
by United Air Lines, also predicted
that so far as its effect on business
is concerned, aviation, and partic-
ularly the airplane, would favor big
business rather than small, chiefly
because of the cost, in any future
development.
National Newspaper.
He also offered the possibility of a
national newspaper" which would
be flown to portions of the country
far distant from the point of the pa
per's origin and said that already the
airplane had widened the circula-
ton of the country's larger papers.
Another effect On business which
further increases in the use of avia-
ton might have, he said, could be
the tendency, already beginning to
appear on the west coast, to elimi-
nate the wholesaler in purchasing
goods for retailing, by dealing di-
rectly with the manufacturer and
receiving shipments by air.
Uses for HelicOpters.
Professor Ogburn cited various
for the helicopter, some now
employed and others potential. They
included:
Aerial observation of large herds
of cattle and focks of sheep.
Shepherds could be sought out, lost
sheep found and speedy contact
made with shepherds equipped with
walkie-talkies, he said.
Fire fighting over wooded areas
and large scale spraying of crops
(now ''dusted" from planes).
Transportation, either by bus COM
oanies or for individuals. Profess
sor Ogburn said it was not at all
improbable that four wheeled hell
copters would be manufactured
which could be flown from suburban
homes into business areas, parked
for the day, then flown home
At night.
He suggested the possibility of raz
ng certain "blighted areas" in large
to make landing fields and
;aid, after landing, the four-wheeled
lelicopters could be driven along
he streets to garages at either end
If the trip.

Expedition Discovers Tomb
OF an Ancient Peruvian God

NEW YORK. - Discovery of the
tomb of an ancient Peruvian god,
as important to American archeol-
ogy as discovery of the tomb of
King Tutankhamen was to students
of ancient Egyptian civilization,
was announced by DR.. William Dun
can Strong of the department of ar
theology of Columbia university.
Strong said that the tomb was
found this summer in the Viru val
ley of Peru and that the grave con-
tanned the remains of the great
tusked god Atapaec, last of a dyn-
asty which combined the roles of
priest, warrior and also personified
God.
Buried with the god were a num-
Der of objects representing the art
of the gods people, the Mochicas,
whom Strong called ''the local
Greeks-they reached the highest
artistic point of early Peruvian civ
ilization."
Strong said he placed the time of
the burial at about 1000 A. D.
"It was the body of a very old
man. He had lost all his teeth ex-
cept two in the front. and his skin
was next to his bones, proving that
he must have been very thin and
very old-possibly about 100 when
he died." Strong said.
The discovery was made during
an expedition sponsored by the In
stitute of Andean Research, and
participated in by Columbia, Amer
lean Museum of Natural History,
Chicago Museum of Natural His
tory, Yale university and Smithson-
ian institution.

Dexter Switzerland, 23-year-old
one-legged war veteran, was in
serious condition in James Walker
Memorial hospital last night as the
result of an early-morning crash
at the Bradley Creek bridge on the

The car, driven by Switzerland,
who resides at 43 Lee Drive, Forest

plunging into the shallow water.
State Highway Patrolman R. C.
Duncan, who investigated, said the
accident occurred about 5 a. M,
as Switzerland was driving to
Wrightsville.
The car was badly damaged.
Switzerland was rushed to the hos

the hospital his condition was de-
scribed as serious but not critical.
He sustained a broken jaw, posi-
bic internal injuries and cuts.
