"As mass production served automobiles in bringing them to a basis of low first cost and economical transportation, so I believe it will aid the airplane, in a limited measure, in reducing air transportation cost per mile.

No Competition Between Auto And Airplane Detroit, July 21. What effect airplane development will have on the automobile has frequently been discussed by those close to both industries as well as by laymen interested in the transportation methods the future may evolve.

Is an era of keen competition ahead? Will the airplane relegate the automobile to a place beside the horse and buggy? Decidedly no, in the opinion of H. J. Klingler, general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company. The two in Commander Pierozzi, representin navy department, met the Italia car at the frontier today and will with it.

It carries the professional man, who has many stops to make, on his route over town. It takes the wife downtown shopping, the family to visit friends, or on weekend or vacation trips. It does this without regard to distance or conditions of the weather. "There is this further interesting distinction between the airplane and the automobile. The motor car in its evolution was first regarded as a fad and a 'luxury.

It was recognized as an economic necessity only after it had gained wide popularity as an instrument of pleasure. "The airplane, on the other hand, has been an instrument of business from the start. It is serving now mainly in aerial photography, in transporting mail, motion pictures and other quick freight, and in providing rapid passage between distant points. Its utility Is -limited to this highly restricted field which in no sense encroaches on the automobile. "Both the automobile and the airplane are propelled by internal combustion engines.

"There will be no more competition between the airplane and the automobile than there is between the newspaper and the radio," Mr. Klingler stated. "When the radio first began broadcasting news dispatches, there was talk of it supplanting tha newspaper. Today the newspaper prints radio news, and news items broadcast by the radio rather whet the appetites-, newspaper Each one serves the other. "I believe the airplane and the automobile will follow similar lines of development.

"I believe that for every airplane that goes into the air at least two automobiles will go on the ground. "The owner of an airplane will need an automobile to take him from his home to the airport. He will need another car to take him from the landing field down-town to his destination. Mean while his wife and family will need a car at home while his is parked ut the airport awaiting his return. Every flight will call into use at least tv.o or three cars.

The heavyweight champion said at a luncheon which he gave to Tex Rickard, promoter, William Muldoon of the State Athletic commission, and correspondents who covered his training camp at Speculator, that he fought his last fight, last Thursday night, when he secured a knockout over Tom Heeney. Tunney's retirement had been rumored ever since the Heeney fight.

It waited only the champion's confirmation. "That was withheld pending disposition of Tunney's contract with Rickard which required that he fight again this year. "I have fought my last bout as a professional boxer," Tunney said. "It naturally is with certain regret that I announce my permanent retirement from the boxing ring. "No man realizes more than I do my to the game.
