Louis next February, it was announced today by Charles Lawrence, Chairman of the Show Committee of the National Aircraft Trade social, financial, military and Gov-rnment circles. Sportsmen pilots rom all sections of liis country anJ Canada are expected to fly to the field. It is expected that approximately planes will be at the airport tiring the races. The race and special feature program is a comprehensive one and It romises extraordinary interest for very one during the entire period of he meet. There are some 45 major vents on the racing program.

These mhracc nine air derbies, thirty closed ourse events, and six special feature contests. Army navy and marine corps lilitary and race events are expected be scheduled to lend the color and dash of expert combat and formation living by crack military pilots. The special feature events will furnish high points of interest to every person who attends the show. There will be a contest for a new and combined air and ground surveys. Before the completion of this agreement, however, the Canadian office of Lacey In Montreul, hi cooperation with the Fairchild Company, succeeded In mapping approximately 33.000,000 acres of forest land during the last five years.

Lawrence V. Kerber, who has resigned as Chief Engineer of the Aeronautical Division of tho United States Department of Commerce to become President of the Spartan Aircraft Company, Is expected here to assume his new duties within a few daya, Mr. Kerber'a resignation hat been accepted by the Department of Commerce. Construction of a plant in which glidera will be manufactured by the Cook Glider and Sail Plane Company is being rushed at the Fairfax Airport in Kansas City. According to officials of the company production is to start at the earliest possible time and schools of Instruction are to be opened eoon.

Officials report an unusual interest In gliders and the two models to be produced will be for training and sport use.

An attempt to break the non-refueling endurance mark also has been planned. A balloon-bursting contest has been announced. Swerving in tight ma-noeuvefs, the pilots will endeavor to burst the light, colorful, floating air hubbies with the propeller of their ship. Rigid tests on planes of standard manufacture will be made in a Cleve-lond-to-Buffalo efficiency race. Homing pigeons 2,500 of thein will be entered In a nonstop race from Cleveland to Buffalo.

The Goodyear Fleet of Blimps will be entered in the first Blimp race ever staged. Additional features and nonstop events from West Coast points are being arranged for. Negotiations are in progress for an outstanding international aviation event between Canadian Flying Club pilots and American sporting flyers. Aerial maps have been completed of the city and airport In preparation for the, endless traffic streams t'e-tween the airport and the exposition, and an encampment of 200 National Guardsmen will be at the airport during the races to assist the several policement detailed to route traffic. Aerial surveys in all forest regions, both in this and foreign countries, are available through an operating agreement just completed by Fair- AWAY For tho second time within two weeks an air route has been Inaugurated in Cincinnati.

Yesterday, with prominent men in the political and industrial world officiating, Mason-Dixon Air Lines, operating from Metal Aircraft Corporation's building at Lunken Airport, launched four planes into ihe skies to cover five cities included on the route Middletown, Lima, Dayton, Toledo and Detroit, the northern terminus. The party returned last night, completing the first flight on the airway that eventually will extend to Atlanta. Opening of the Southern link will be in approximately two months. Tomorrow the official schedule will be begun when planes leave Cincinnati and Detroit simultaneously at o'clock. The second plane dally, with Sunday an exception, will leave the terminals at 4:45 o'clock each child Aerial Surveys, with James D.

Lacey it has been an afternoon. Flying time, with stops at the four cities previously mentioned, will be two and one-half hours. Cincinnati-made Flamingo all-metal planes will be used exclusively by the Air Lines, E. V. Savage, Vice President of the corporation, announced.

Negotiations already have been entered Into with the Louisville Nashville Railroad and Southern Railroad for formation of a traln-plano schedule from Miami to Detroit, similar to that started recently by Colonel C. O. Lindbergh for the Transcontinental Air Transport. Passengers would transfer from trains to airplanes at Atlanta and Cincinnati, with rail service at Miami, Nashville and Detroit. Application has been made to the Government for service between Cincinnati Detroit and Cincinnati At nounced.

Third camp session at Fort Scott Camp for Boys, New Baltimore, Ohio, will open tomorrow with the largest enrollment of the season, W. D. Mor-rlssey, executive director.

Indicated yesterday. Boys from the Ohio Valley States are foremost among the registrants for this session, which will inaugurate the second half of the season at the camp. Executives of the Fort Scott Camp Association have decided to increase the accommodations of the camp to 200 for the 1930 season in view of the heavy demands for the present season, Morrissey reported following-h conference with Joseph Schneider, Chairman of the Board of Directors. The camp will be used for glila' camp purposes during the last two weeks In August. The Fort Scott Auxiliary has taken over the camp from August 19 and will carry through Labor Day.

Reservations for the remaining boys' sessions and for the girls' camp period may be made by calling Canal 7745. The Fort Scott Association and the auxiliary maintain adjoining offices.

Strefsins; the fact that scope of the numerous fi itw sdou-U th country is limited to a few basics, the public. ition made an appeal to sident of tile Dr.

Pavid Tr UniversMv. that he use his influence In formation of a laboratory hereby the discoveiics at hand iniflit he coordinated into a logical for a course approximating four years. Science of airplane building, the art of map making and the business of conducting surveys in the air and building of airports were suggested 83 special studies to engineering, advanced mathematics, physics and airplane design. In reply Dr. Kin'oy asserted he had made a similar proposal to the Government as lone au'o as October, 1910, stmactin? to the then Secre- tary of war ir.e need of collecting the technical peculiarities of ttv trade for just such an engineering course and also for foundation on the campus of a laboratory for aeronautical research.

Continuing. Dr. Kinley replies to the newspaper: "Secretary Weeks, evidently writing on advice of officers connected with aviation, regretted to Inform me that 'the views of our air service, based on our training of the last three years, do not coincide with you as to the advantage to be gaine. by combining aeronautical rese-irch work with ground school "In default of Government action," Dr. Kinley points out, "the development of aeronautical work at the university in an adequate way would require a laboratory costing, for suitable building and equipment, not less than $250,000 as a minimum.

"This money may be obtained only from appropriations or gifts. Other Interests are calling constantly for the development of their work at the university, and every one adds to expense." Aid of some forward looking and Bublic-spirlted citizen in establish- i ment of such a laboratory undoubted- 1 ly is needed. Aviation in the last two years has outgrown its swaddling clothes and needs a directing g-enius to govern its character. Illinois University, on past accomplishment, no doubt is qualified to inaugurate such tn innovation and to set the educational standard for the countless schools that inevitably must Include all the phases of aviation tinder one curriculum. However well our regards for Dr.

Kinley and the University of Illinois, one paragraph in particular in his communication takes first interest of Ohlouns. Writing of "influence" that deemed climatic conditions at the university as not suitable for such a laboratory. tr. Kinhy asserts: "As things now are, 1 am told that plans in Washington look toward tho concentration of flying instruction and aeronautical engineering, or mechanics, at places on the coasts or Dayton, Ohio, generally speaking." The possibility that Warner Aircraft Corporation, manufacturers of the "Scarab" motor, may become a pant of the Fokker Aircraft Corporation, was seen by observers as a result of the report that Lawrence V. Fisher, Vice President of General Motors, soon may become a member Of the board of Warner.

Observers say that the Fisher Brothers for some time have been buying Warner stock, and the rather unusual strength of the stock within the last few weeks has given rise to the belief that "something is doing. In one quarter it was said that the Fisher interests have been absorbing-Warner stock with a view toward control, believing that the company's product at a comparatively early date will fit in well with the future plans of the Fokker Company. In this connection it may be of interest to recall that Warner is developing a motor of greater horsepower to augment its standard seven-cylinder llD-horse-power "Scarab." The company also Is moving into a large plant in De troit. Warner earnings during he six months of this year have first been approximately a share, and persons Interested in the stock predict that for the second half of the year a return of $2 will be netted, with proportionately larger earnings as the company Bteps up its production next year. An official of the Fokker Company aaid it was "news to me," when asked concerning the possibility of Warner merging with Fokker.

Two oil companies have been added to the list of firms in this field owning airplanes. They are the Standard Oil Company of Ohio and the. Arch Haynes Drilling Company, of Hhreve-port. Doth companies have purchased ityan six-place cabin planes. The Standard Oil plane was delivered to officials of the company at Cleveland early this month, and the Arch Haynes ship will be delivered immediately.

The Sohioan, owned by the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, will be used by Howard G. Jones. Vice President and Treasurer, and A. M. Maxwell, Vice President in charge of sales.

It Is painted in the distinctive company red. white and blue colors, with the emblem of the company on th fuselage. A machine guti that is not a machine gun, but a camera to "shoot" photographs instead of bullets, will be used by United States Army Ail-Corps flyers for aerial combat purposes, according to an announcement made by the Fairchild Aerial Camera Corporation, a subsidiary of the Fair-child Aviation Corporation, manufacturers of the cameras. The Fair-child company in receipt of a contract from the Army to build a number of these special machine gun cameras. In outward appearance, shape and weight, the machine gun camera i Will be exact duplicates of the guns, with which the Army's fightinv; planes arc equipped.

April 5 to 13. De- was among the cities which made a strong bid for the 1930 na- tional show as well, Most of the manufacturers who are members of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, which represents 95 per cent of the aircraft industry, are expected to become, exhibitors at the national show In St.

Louis, which promises to be bigger and more representative than the last national show held in Chicago. St. Louis's strategic position near the geographical center of the United States and as an air line and transportation center was among the piin-cipal factors considered in the selection of that city for the national show in 1 930, Mr. Lawrence said. It is estimated that 50 per cent of all the airplanes constructed ire built within a 500-mile radius of St.

Louis. The show will be staged in the two National Exhibition Buildings on Oakland Avenue, located 30 minutes from the business center of St. Louis, north of the hotel district on the edge of Forrest Park and In the center of the residential section. The. buildings consist of two units of 86,000 feet each and a covered arena located between them with 31,500 feet of space available for booth displays.

One side of the exhibition buildings are equipped with hangar doors to permit the entrance for planes without disassembling them. The exhibition buildings adjoin a landing field area large enough to permit lightly loaded planes to land there before being placed on display. An airplane taxi service will be established to carry prospects who desire demonstrations from the field near the exhibition buildings to Lambert-St. Louis field. The exact dates of the national show will be set later.

The success of the second annual Ail-American Aircraft Show at Detroit this year, which received the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce's sanction, prompted the committee to again grant a sanction for this show In 1930 to be held April 5 to 13. All Indications forecast that the 1929 National Air Races and Aero nautical Exposition at Cleveland will be one of the outstanding aviation events in history, according to Cliff Henderson, Managing Director. The Interest and cooperative good will shown everywhere In this coun try, Canada and In Europe point toward this prophecy. Heretofore air races and expositions-have been just contests and exhibition affairs, and the layman found his interest gauged by his air consciousness. This year the ten days of the races, from August 24 to September 2 will be replete with a truly amazing array of feature events, which will carry a full ten-day interest for the public.

Sponsored by the National Aeronautical Association and the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America, the races and exposition have been appropriately grouped under the title, "The Air Classic of the Century." An attendance of nearly 330,000 ha been predicted. Five days before the opening 25 airplanes will tour the state of Ohio. These planes will be representative of the various industries and Chambers of Commerce. This air fleet will stop at the principal cities of Ohio and fly over hundreds of others. Inspecting ground signs and roof indicators which direct visiting planes to Cleveland's Municipal Airport, where the races are to be held.

The many flying fields scattered about the state will be Inspected under supervision of John Vorys, director of the newly formed Ohio State Department of Aviation. Unusual public interest and enthusiasm has been manifested in the first Women's Air Derby ever held, Cleveland. More than 20 entries have already been made for this event, according to Floyd Logan, Air Race Chaiiman. Famous women pilots will start from the California city, at the appropriately named Clover Field, and fly through the southwest and on to Cleveland. Stopping at various control points, the women flyer will arrive at Cleveland Municipal Airport on Monday, August 26.

The Exchange Club of Santa Monica has sponsored this race and affiliated Exchange Clubs alon? the route of flight will check control points. Visitors at the Aeronautical Exposition, located in Cleveland's beautiful Auditorium, will enjoy a highly entertaining and colorful musical extravaganza, the theme of which Is based on aviation. A cast of 100 persons will present vaudeville, singing, and dance acts and a new theme song has been written for the reveue. After the musical show, which comes at the 'conclusion of the exposition each day at 10:30 p. fireworks will light the sky and the thrilling sight of planes in flight manoevers over the city will brinj the day to an end at midnight.

The Flower Pageant a gorgeous procession of blossom-covered fla's stretching for nearly four miles in length will inaugurate the opening of the exposition. The parade will wend Its way through five miles of Cleveland's broad thoroughfares and spectators will have unfolded In pageantry the history of transportation from the crude, primitive meth ods down through the ages to the most modern methods which reach their zenith in the airplanes. Overhead the famua Goodyear Fleet of five blimps will circle slowly honor escort and marshall air squadron of the floral procession. Military plares flying In symmethical formation groups will be convoys of the airships. The blossom spectacle will cost 1100,000 and It is composed of 15 separate sections.

One of the latter is representative of the 3.r different nations represented In Cleveland. The races will have all the color of a horse race or a major football game. Reservations for boxes have been made by nationally prominent figure Most of the entrants are experienced cross-country fliers. The race will be one between homing pigeons, and it will be conducted under the auspices of the Cleveland Concourse Association, the local branch of the American Racing Pigeon Union. Captain D.

C. Kuscall, of Washington, l. is President of the national body. The event was arranged by Cliff Henderson, managing director of the races, and Dr. J.

C. Simon, Tresident of the Cleveland Concourse Association. "In view of the fact that many of man's ideas in perfecting flying ran- hines were taken from the birds, and as we want to make our 1929 air races complete in every respect, it is only fitting that we enter these pigeons In competition," Henderson said. Dr. Simon said his association would be frlad to cooperate fully and expressed the appreciation of his members over this recognition of the birds.

One hundred and three passengers, 19 of whom were women, were carried in tho tri-motor, all-metal, ten-passenger planes of the Transcontinental Air Transport during the first week of operations over the coast-to-coast route of the air-rail system, following the inauguration of service on July 7. Among the women passengers possibly the best-known were Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh and Miss Amelia F.arhart. Mrs.

Lindbergh was a passenger over a portion of the western division and Miss Earhart a passenger over the entire route. Colonel Lindbergh, who piloted one of the planes from Los Angeles east to Cloves, New Mexico, Is Chairman of the Technical Committee of the Transcontinental Air Transport. On the inaugural flight, made from Los Angeles east and from Columbus, Ohio, west on July S. followed the Inauguration on July 7, 35 passengers were carried, 18 from Los Angeles eastward and 17 from Columbus westward. The Transcontinental Air Transport has associated with it In its air-rail service the Pennsylvania Railroad in the east and the aSnta Fe Railway in the west.

Frederick B. Rentschler, President of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America, yesterday announced the selection of seven members of a committee of nine pilots who will study flying school problems on behalf of the aircraft industry. The seven men named on the new committee are Tex Rankin, Portland, C. S. "Casey" Jones, New York- City; John Bowers, Los Angeles, Cloyd Clevenger.

Tulsa, V. D. Havlland. St. Louis, Oliver L.

Parks, St. Louis, Mo and Chan C. Mason, Buffalo, Y. Two vacancies on th committee will be filled later. Th committee will meet in Cleveland August 29, during the National Air Races and Aeronautical Exposition, to elect a Chairman and formulate a program of investigation on flying school problems.

The committee will work with the Department of Commerce, which is rating all flying schools, under provisions of an amendment to the Air Commerce Act, similar to that obtained by Embry-Rlddle Flying School last Monday. The first Flying School Committee appointed by the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce perfected a code of rating all flying schools upon a basis of their equipment and excellence of instruction, which later was adopted by the Department of Commerce. It is expected 25 schools to be rated under this new plan will be announced within three -weeks. The committee resigned In April after it had carried out its mission, and recommended that a new committee be appointed to further study flying school problems and raise the standards of all schools Through the work of the Aero nautical Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the Department of Commerce. the "barnyard flying school" and the "one-man school" are considered a relic of the past.

Flying schools are growing rapidly with increased public confidence and support, officials of the aeronautical trade association say. A bulletin, ready for distribution to members of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce flying school section, discloses the action of th.i Department of Commerce In eliminating the 'one-man flying school." "Transport pilots filing applications for an instructor's license, either flying or ground work, will not be approved by the Department of Commree unless they are employed actually by an approved flying school. The Department of Commerce is teceivlng a large number of requests from transport pilots for a flying Instructor's license. The reason for this is, first, the transport pilot wanta to ehow hla flying In- WHY CHRYSLER CAN'T BE COPIED For five years the motor car industry has striven unceasingly to emulate and overtake Chrysler yet all its best efforts and most persistent ambitions to that end have fallen far short of their goal. Regardless of attempts of engineering generally to pattern itself after Chrysler engineering, and despite frank borrowing of Chrysler features, the fart remains that Chrysler cars are still as different from other cars as day from night.

As time rolls on, it becomes more and more manifest that Chrysler performance can't be copied that only Chrysler engineering and Chrysler manufacturing methods combined can produce Chrysler results. Chrysler results are uncopiable because Chrysler engineering is of an entirely new school of thought, because Chrysler ingenuity is free from the hindering and hampering influence of out-dated traditions. So Chrysler goes marching on, strengthening its leadership, maintaining a wide margin of superiority in performance demonstrating a virile fleetness, an eager spirit, an unwavering stamina and an unruffled smoothness other cars find impossible to equal.
