Kansas Democrats already are moving to make Congressman W. A. Ayreg of Wichita, a candidate for Democratic nomination for presIdent in 1928. Henderson S. Martin of Lawrence, and a former leader In the Jonathan M.

Davis faction of the Democratic party in Kansas, says this State should back Ayres for thia honor. Congressman Ayres, the only Democratic candidate Congress elected In Kansas, haa just been returned by 10,000 majority in the Eighth district which gave Senator Curtis and Governor Paulen maJorities around 80,000.

Bryan named Congresaman Ayres as an outstanding middle west Democrat who is qualified for the presidency. The crushing defeat of former governor Jonathan M. Davis In the late gubernatorial election by a majority for Governor Ben S. Paulen of 145,000, removes Mr. Davis from the presidential picture and again puts the Democratic party of Kansas in the control of the McAdoo a forces.

FIVE BIG PLANES TO HOP 18,524 MILES ON TOUR No Effort Will Be Made To Break Any Flying Records ACROSS THE. EQUATOR San Antonio, Nov. have been completed and with the arrival of the Arst of the five ships within the next few days all 800n will be in readiness for the start of the "Around South America" good will cruise of the United States aviation corps. The flight 18 scheduled to take off from Kelly Field here December 15, weather permitting, and if not that day, as soon thereafter as possible. The first day of the 13,524 mile journey will take the ten pilots and their five planes to Vera Cruz, Mexico with stops en route at Brownsville and Tampico, Mex.

According to present plans a trip by rail will be made from Vera Cruz to Mexico City by the aviators in order to get acquainted with the Mexican capital city. Mexico City is too high to make practical flying there by plane, according to Captain A. B. McDaniel of Kelly Field, who will be second in command of the cruise. Major Herbert A.

Dargue, at present stationed in the office of the chief of the air service at Washington, D. will be in command the expedition. He will come to San Antonio the latter part of November according to present plans. Is Good Will Tour Lieut. Leonard D.

Weddington, another flyer of Kelly Field, also will be one of the pilots. pilots for the trip will come various air frother posts over the country Including Fort Crockett and Langley Field. None of the men participating in this flight ever have taken part, in another such undertaking, it being In line with a recent order by the War Department, according to Captain McDaniel, that such honors be distributed as much as possible. The fulfilling of this "Pan-American Good Will Tour" is the end of four years of effort by flying men and will prove of inestimable benefit to both the men and this country. The purpose of the expedition, according to an official bulletin put out by the air corps is as fotlows: "For the purpose extending the commercial relations of this country with those to the south of us; to seal the amicable relations existing between our country and those to the south and to give extensive tests to the amphibian type of plane." No effort will be made to break any records and the trip is expected to consume at least four months from the time of the take off here until the cruise is completed at Langley Fleld.

The planes will down the east coast of Mexico to Puerto where they will cross over to Salina Cruz on the coast side, to Valdivia, Chile, tneh pacific side, thence down thin west across to Bahia Blanca, Argentine, on the east side again. From Buenos Aires the flyers will go up the de la Plata to Asuncion, Paraguay, and then back over the same route to Montevideo. They then will proceed up the east coast of South America to Caracas. From here they will hop to the West Indies and make stops in the large places there. From Havana the flyers will 80 to Miami, Savannah, Wilmington and then Langley Field.

The longest hop of the trip will bi only about 565 miles, according to MeDaniel, and no night flying will be attempted if it can be avoided. Overnight stops will be made in the larger cities and the stops will be of necessary duration to enable the flyers to attend all social affairs planned in their honor and allow them to get acquainted with their hosts. Each pilot will suitable clothing for all occasions they may be called on to participate in. Across The Equator The equator will be crossed while In the air between Buenaventura, Columbia and Paita, Peru. Captain McDaniel said that he now is trying to perfect some arrangement whereby the ancient custom of greeting Father Neptune they cross the equator may be observed.

This, he said, is offering many difficulties unless they make a landing on the water and take turns at ducking each other. Five plans are being built especially at the Leoning factory in New York to be used in the flight. Arrangements now are being made by the San Antondo Chamber of Commerce christen the flagship, the "San Antonio." The first of these planes, which are called amphibian due to their ability to land on either land or water is expected to be shipped to San Antonio within the next few days so that pilots may gain practice in the handling of this type. The others will be shipped along as fast as they are completed so that plenty of time can be allowed for assembling them here and tuning them up for the start of the first airplane good will tour to go onto foreign soil.

PENNSY PLANS SAFE SERVICE ON ITS TRAINS Nov. a further step to promote the safety of passengers and employes, measures have just been placed in effect by the l'ennsylvania Railroad which eliminate the last element of poss.ole uncertainty capable of causing air brakes to become inoperat ve This has been accomplished by the 13suunce of general orders dispensing entirely with the devices known as "'angle cocks," hitherto required as a necessary part of the air brake equipment on passenger trains.

The Pennsylvania Railroad passenger engineman may now operate his train with the definite krowdelge that no defect or improper adjustment, of any character, in the air brake apparatus, can occur without his knowledge or immediate warning. Elimination of the need tor and use of angle cocks constitutes a radical advance in the use of air brakes, and one of the most important in recent years. It has been made practicable by progressive improvement of the entire air brake apparatus, and particularly by the adoption of large capacity air pumps, with which all Pennsylvania Railroad engines, in passenger as well as freight service, have now been equipped. Heretofore the air brake pipe on all passenger cars has carried an angle cock at each end of 'he car by means of which the air line could be completely sealed. This use of large capacity air pumps on the locomotives now renders this unnecessary, by making It always possible to restore the air pressure to JOS.

Dispensing that risk. single exception of the With the angle cocks, air brake apparatus had already been 60 perfected that any interfere with its failure of the apparatus which would tend to would result in an proper immediate application of the brakes working and stop the train. With angle cocks eliminated there exception, and the rule is now no becomes universal that any failure whatever will at once appiy the brakes and bring the train to a standstill.

This is in accordance with a basic principle which should govern the design of all safety apparatus, including signals, namely, that in the event of any faliure. such devices should go to "warning," "danger" or "stop," or 1r other words, should "fall safely." The adoption of the new order, dispensing with angle cocks, was preceded by an elaborate series of tests and experiments to guard against unforeseen complications, as well as by the thorough drilling and instruction of all employes concerned.

H. Connell, acting secretary of highways, today to ask motorists to send in at once the forms which have been matted them.

The bureau by the adoption of the present form system has hoped to entirely obviate the last minute rush which in former years swamped a greatly increased working personnel. Connell urged car owners to send in their applications even though they are contemplating a trade-in on their cars before December 15. The department will transfer the 1927 tags to the new vehicle without any fee charge. If an adjustment in the registration fee is necessary because of a difference in the car, there will be no extra charge. The new 1927 tags may be used as early as December 15, Connell said.

Because of the ease with which the tags may be obtained there will be no extension of the time limit after December 31, he asserted. The department is able. Connell said, to handle applications as fast as they reach the bureau. More than 200,000 applications already have been issued. The present rate is 20,000 a day.
