maxim, and incidentally, more appropriate, "to escape an earthquake, take an airplane." The latest of mottoes being used by aviation enthusiasts sprung up quite spontaneously at Los Angeles, by Dr. T. P.

"The earthquake started when we were at the field, ready to take off In 15 minutes, Dr.

Rosendale said. "I think it would be safer In the air," he told the pilot, and, acting on the suggestion, the passengers boarded the plane and flew away. Little damage occurred at the airport, according to Dr. Rosendale, but all the passengers reported that they felt a lot safer in the air than on the ground.

--Skidding really is a fascinating subject. The writer recalls it as the topic of one of the most spirited gatherings of engineers he ever attended. Before the session ehclid, toy automobiles were racing down an inclined drawing board with a seemingly bewitched crowd of experts studying their every movement as they slid, whirled, pivoted and otherwise acted as good card should not.

It is not alone on the speedway, however, that mastery of the The Vermilya-Huffman Company has been designated as distributor for the plane in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana.

One of the unusual mechanical Improvements in the plane is the air brake or "flaps" attached to the underside of the wing. Wheji about to land the pilot lowers the air brakes, which provide a much slower landing speed and make landing possible in smaller fields. The regular schedules which will be provided by TWA with the new plane will be 16 hours from Los Angeles to New York and 18 hours from New York to Los Angeles, the slower schedule westbound being accounted for by the prevailing westerly winds. The 16-hour service across the American continent represents the climax in four years' efforts by the afr line operators to provide constantly increased speed in travel and communication. The first coast-to-coast air line, started in 1929, provided a 48-hour passenger service.

This information enables the terminal manager to ascertain the exact conditions of weather ahead of the pilot, and by means of radio communication he can control the flight of the plane by actually talking to the pilot. Intelligent use of radio in the operation of planes requires an elaborate organization and involves an expenditure of a tremendous amount of money. More than 400 employees of American Airways are licensed to operate short wave radio stations in the handling of messages and weather reports between airplanes in flight and ground stations.

Ground stations located in 41 cities handle communications between plane and ground on the American Airways system, which is the largest airline in the United States. Passenger-carrying planes aro equipped with short wave radio sets with ear phones for both pilots and co-pilots and a mouthpiece that is attached to the Instrument board that can be used by either the pilot or co-pilot.

Young, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics. This map is the thirteenth of a series of 87 sectional airway maps covering the entire United States, planned by the aeronautics branch in connection with its airway mapping program, which is handled by the Coast and Geodetic Survey of the Department of Commerce.

The splendid record that has been maintained by air transport lines using radio during the last six months is to a great extent attributed to the use of radio in controlling the operation of scheduled planes.

The use of radio has practically eliminated the hazard to which most airplane accidents are attributed, namely that of weather. The increase in the use of transportation as a means of travel in the last three years has been phenomenal. More than 50,000 passengers a month are utilizing this method of transportation in the United States, and a far greater number of people would be traveling by air if the general public were acquainted with the facts of air The air-meet at the field last Sun of -the occasion, knew enough to ekffl around another car which had skidded directly across the road In front of him.

Each Sunday afternoon there will be some activity at the airport, he said, but most of the major features will be retained for the exhibition each month.

Captain Bushrod Hoppin, of the United States Army, was so enthusiastic over his company's performance last Sunday afternoon, that all last week he had his men going through maneuvers In preparation for the coming air showy at the field. Captain Hoppin's men gave an unusual demonstration of speed and intricate maneuvers at last week's show which thrilled the audience -for more than an hour. The majority of the spectators at last Sunday's air show will agree that the Cincinnati fliers can compete with the country's best pilots when intricate maneuvers are asked for. It is an enjoyable spectacle to see these airplanes looped, rolled and spun.
