As well ask to what use can we pm our five mil-ti-m output of motorcar*? How can we use airplane* in practical everyday life? Here le the ais plane min's answer, sod when you have pqpdercd it you will not c*«unt very many airplanes going

to wasu- or to spare:

Some of the Possibilities. •" l ast mail, fas; express, light rush frright, such

a* perishable f»>d«; fast transcontinental and ocean fusseogi-r service. J«y riding, sightseeing to pia--,-* Inaccessible by rail, such as the upper reaches **f Grand Canyon '-r tlie Holy Land or tie- sa<-red city of Tibet: coast guard and revenue patrol. <-o.-sin survey work, weather bureau work, exploration, such as arros* the |*«*le or the hot tropc-at forest.* of Africa and South America, w hich would no; be hot by the air route; boundary patrol, {oitrol or powtv line* and oil line* and gas lines, bird's-eye sightseeing of rltie*. country to elty commuting.

quired. no rail*, no grading Both extreme heat and extreme redd ran avoided. Any one of these manifold uw* would absorb every airplane now engaged Pit war. All the use* combined would demand and absorb t» many nlrydan** a* their are

motorcars—say .'..•yai/jin for this country alone. At this stage, the practical man has a touch of

aerial vertigo. Hr is too l-ditr to'tear his hair out in handfuls; bui we!!, he Interrupts with.

Very well Take mail.. Malls are already being * carried between New York and Washington, and New York and ndraga; and if all the war plane* are aowortted for mail use, as l.tMt of them ab ready have tes-n aa«iigaed. malls will be carried le-fore the end of 1919 between all the leading

cities of the United .Slates, I* this mall busines* going to h It pay? Will it save. any. some n

time? The rate talked ..f Just now U Id rent* an ounce, or 43 is-m* a mile for 'JO |sounds, which Is so vBi-tjd that it leaves you all up in the air a* tv Ultimate charges. This scale 1* absurdly high. iKinug th.- experimental period It 1* ail right, but wkii aerial mall nxsie* are os common n* rail

Il-re you are In the realm of pure speculation, bkt. iuising your si*-< ulatioo uu fact*, the governmen 1 <*niM do m-*re than save time. It could save money and make oodlr* of money by the air mall rente Ssijipuso the charge i> a rents s i>u>und which f* .heaie-r than .mr letter rate loday. Land machino a* at present ..m.trurtcd esn carry at least half th.-lr own weight, but now that war requirements ire past, their .-wurtni.-tloo .an he riian*"d to improve vastly on that They will not need machine gun-. They will not rvr,*| bombs. Tile; aiU not Bet-iI d.-vb'ea for quick nw-ent or

e practical? Will

chine for bomb work ran carry from five to six tott*. There is another machine for ocean work tjtat can carry eleven ton*. Average the mail carrier* or fast express jdane* at eight too* capacity. Eight ton* are lC/*iy pBtwd*, and a rate of 23 cents n pound would give a daily revenue between Chicago ao^ New York of $4,000. Now the government is not talking 25 cents a pound. It is talking of from 10 to 16 cents as ounce. You can figure the revenue cn that basts yourself. Or take the pas-rtager rate from Paris to London. $75. Supreme we 'have a passenger service fn«p New York to Floridr at $160. There is a machine capable carrying fifty pa«*engeni from New Turk to Florida. That would be a revenue of $oj000. But the cost of the machine and pilots? The HtUe machine* require only one pilot, the big one* two. Pilots can be hhed for from $100 to $200 a month. Bsperuily .f they are permitted to retain their present military ©r naval statue. The gasoline will not run si more than 32 gallon* an hour, at not Iras than 12 gallon* per engine per hour. Of the machli.r coat, we have only oar figures now, with wages and material =t war levels; but after the war. ui.-a Ilka tJurttsa and Wright believe tin- uia.ivln'-s with Military equipment now running from $7..V«J to fSOjKKt can be produced for industrial pur;-,-.-, nt from $1,500 to 115,000. Now. 1 don't know of many locomotives and trains or steamships that can cover all the way from onethird their cost to all their cost in the revenue of M»r trip. Tim. I*. I don't know off methods of transport a lion that can do *o when freight* are not at war level* A/ter those figure*. I don't know bow the practical mac feel!), !,ut f do know the airplane manufacturers are thankful to heaven the war Is over ao that they ran put the airplane on a* sound a oMnacrriai basis as uny other industry. But More the airplane ran be o* generally adopted for Industrial uae* as the motorcar. Just ax much will have to be done. Everybody knows, or kboultl know, that the motor was tier inspiration of the c-od road* propaganda, which has run over the country like wildfire for ten yecra. Thousand*, hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on the good roads propaganda till It became a uatiom.'. slogan. Then mtUioa* were spent on the good read* ;heiuselres: and they have paid back compound interest oo every' dollar. And do you mean to say we have to build good reed* for the airplane through the air? Tea; that Is exactly what ! mean, only they wont be reads, and you won't have to «pc*d any millions on cither the Ssrepngatsda or the road* themselves. It will be a strictly and entire!y govenuaen* Job. Only instead of roads, it will le* charts you will have to lay out, and they don't need rails, roadbed, grmdl.-g. polltlrsd graft. More Anaieuj Over the Land. The siridabr man is far more anxious about air over the land than air ofvr the mol. Over the sea. If he doe* come down, all he will hit !» water. On the land. If h* • •me* down without a proper landing place, son..thing a* small h* a stray cut. a fence p.**:. a •-< .-tiboBe wire, a two foot ditch, a rain-sodden cv» :wU>. or a dry dreert aiToyo might wrack hit machines

Another point: Special charti will have to be prepared for the pilot to follow. For the Atlantic, going vast, the airpuine would. I am told by engineer*, hare'to follow rast a little by south. Similar charts would have to be to guide the pilot during prevailing, trade social wind*. The Oil nook wind* of the Beetle*, for instance, would add from 30 to M miles an hour to a pilot's speed coming east and Impede bis flight to ths same extent going west. The deserts, the Mojave. Arixoaa. Mexico. Utah, have their dust storms from March to June. Which way do they blow? Montague.. I think it Is. says the brows f<d ..f the Atlantic can be surmounted at from 10.0W3 to 15JWU feet, but while the airpUnvwll! take tbt flyer above the dust, will it take him algre the hurricane that creates tne dust? The meteorological bureau of Washington and the chamber of commerce of San Diego bare done most up to the present time In charting air currents for acnai flights. It Is an entirely new world, and It Is a puzzling one; fur rememti-g. the airplane may drift from It* course. Just as drift iu ocean current* without the campastTgivlDg an inkling of It. nnd here again the army and navy could, an they would, a tale unfold. But It Is In the region of the mountain* that the lighthouse* » :;h powerful lenses are mort n«-1ed for aeria! routes. Tills air region 1* nn entirely unknown world, and It 1* dangerous a* reefs off lAhrador for a landing {dace, t'ase* are on record In Which fighters in the war Interlocked ».ngs and came down and stuck In a trectop vithom ao much as a scratch on the *k)n of either pilot. But quite a* dangerous r* treeio]M and rocks coming up to facet you through the floor of your car are the gusty air pockets o1k»v$ all inoutitaina It I* not known yet whether the air above mountain* Is a* gusty ct night when the sun Is not crawling upeurrents: but if by day the sun creates Niagara* of air. and If J»y night you may run into a blizzard of snow. say. above like* Peak, there Is a lot to do in charting air road* above the Uorkles before we get that section of our tntnscnntlnental nir route as safe as flight above the ocean. Still, as late a* 1830. the fur traders of the mountain* aa-oated the possibility of even wagons ever erwodng the Great Divide. Today, train*, motors and wagons «-ru*« ,11 am ion* of the Divide vrlth less thought and danger than i>edestrtans rrora Fifth avenue. New York; and by 1930. it u a safe w *£ er with your son that airjdanek will do th* same. Bui this i* not all there I* to charting the air. oof by a long, lung shot. How about direction signals? Rules of the Road Needed. Each machine must ala ays be given IU own space, or twice lu own space, to past or mc-l another machine, but how about direction signals? Do you pas* to the right or left? tthat are the penalties and who pays them. If you don't take the correct side and n collision resulU? Who has the right of way. the ruming-ln machine or the go.n* out? What rate of speed is to be allowed for certain level*, and who is to police the air and regulate the traffic? Did you ever think what a gorgeous strewV- of adventure an air robber, a Captain Kidd of the sky route, cwuid have If be made off with a plane good for clever! tons cargo and 187 miles speed? You might catch him on a peak of the Ilo-ki.-s. might have cached hi* loot in the moon. Yoi smile, but are any of these possibilities mot Ukriy tl—n were the actual aehlevemrota off th« airplane In the war? The apprehension of the airplane in Industry belug ehuncy becauir It* euglnc may gu dead or Iu controls go out of wharfc doaa not alarm the airman I >u*l engines, dual controls and two pilot* win minimize thet risk; but there I* a very -leflidle apprvfaeualon In the ulnnan's mind.
