There were a number of factors re
sponsible for the 28 per cent gain m
air passenger mileage in 1933 One
important reason was the reduction in
fares. In 1929. cost of air travel aver
8 y four times in excess of Pull
man fares— whereas now air rates
have dropped to less than six cents
Per mile. The huge time-economy in
the case of air travel more than off
sets the slight advantage which Pull
-1 man rates still have.
Brisker business activity warranted
scheduling flights oftener during 193-
than ever before-thus making at
service more convenient for patrons.
Also, there has been a constant im
provement in the maintenance of
schedules in the past two vears.
Whereas in 1930. 20 to 25 per cent of
scheduled flights were delayed or
broken, now only about syx per cent
are interrupted. The danger in air try
ing has been largely eliminated as
shown by the figures. In 1928. there
was one fatal accident to every 889.-
000 miles flown, while in 1932, there
was only lutal accident in everv 3-
(881.0(8).
Greater Comfort, Safety, Speed.
Technical improvements also de- 1
Serve a large share of the credit sot i
the popularity of air travel during!
1933 Among these technical develop-!
men la are: <|) The orogress toward
elimination of sound and vibration;
(2) the introduction of an aerial sleep
er service; (3) the invention of an ad
just able pitch propeller, giving both
better power in take-off and higher
efficiency in full flight; and (4) the!
installation of air-brake which per i
mils flying at high speed on route i
and .slowing down to, safe landing
speed flits latter development is me
rno.-t important. Without higher etuis
ing speeds, much of the I iuie econo
my of air over Pullman travel would
have perhaps been of feet by the new
duraluminum trains capable of male
ing llu miles per hour.
In spite of the big increase in pas
senger and freight traffic in 1933,
over 60 per cent of commercial avia
tion revenues came from air-mail con
tracts. This was true even after al
lowing for the 28 per cent cut in gov
ernment payments to carriers .since
June, 1933. It is easy to see. therefore,
that the mail contracts have been very
important to commercial aviation,
whether a transport line at present
can break even on passenger and ex
press business alone is debatable. An
indication of the effect of permanent
loss of the air mail business is the
recent announcement by the leading
transport companies of a reduction in
scheduled miles from 10.500 to 5.800
daily.
Asset to National Defense.
For the 1933-34 fiscal year ,the gov
ernment has set aside $14,000,000 as
pay for the air-mail carriers—a 28
percent reduction from the 1932 fig
ure. This sum. however, is not entire
ly a subsidy'. The Post Office Depart
ment receives approximately $8,500,-
000 from the sale of air-mail stamps.
Therefore, it costs the government
l°ss than $5,500,000 to fly the mails in
private ships and at the same time
to maintain a highly trained corps

rat.-, the government is spending the
equivalent of this subsidy in three
and one-half hours.) In addition to the
commercial pilot force, the 2,075 up
to-date airports and landing fields arc
invaluable to our national defense.
While the administration has tem
porarily trippec up the transport di
vision of the industry, it is boosting
the manufacturing branch. The lat
ter suffered severely during the de
pression. Monthly plane construction
dropped from the peak (May, 1930) of
396 to a low (December, 1933) of only
71. In the first years of the depres
sion, military orders provided a good
backlog of business. As the govern
ment cut down on military appropria
tions, orders for service ships steaa
ily declined. Now the government has
turned around completely and has em
barked on a program of modernizing
its air defenses. It is reported that
2,100 military planes are to be con
structed during the next five years
at an estimated cost of $180,000,000.
A “Model-T” of The Air?
1929 dreams of having a “hangar
in every back yard” have not mater
ializcd. Because the market for air
planes during the last few years has
been so restricted, quantity production
has never been possible. Conditions In
connection with the manufacture of
private airplanes today are much the
same as those which existed in the
automobile industry before Henry
Ford began putting out his “T” model
in quantity. The government Aeronau
tical Bureau has designed a plane—
Diet for Stocky Person
Differs From That of Slim

The internal bodily structure of
the stocky person shows that the
hones, particularly of the spine, are
broader and shorter and the muscles
are stronger, so that he is not so
subject to backache, headaches and
ratigue as his slender brother. The
digestive tract allows him to ab
sorb and digest his food better and,
6is tendency to over-ac
cumulation of fat increases.
In the internal workings of the
ductless glands of the stocky person
it is possible to imagine that the
thyroid, pituitary and adrenal are
less active than In the slender person.
This Is the statement which is made
by Dr. Jean Bogert in his book,
“Diet and Personality”, although I
think it is probably the most debat
able part of his chapter.
The result of all these functional
changes is that these people digest
their food well, absorb a great deal
of it. and being freed from the "en
docrine urge”, they are easy-going,
sluggish, and this further accentu
ates their tendency to overweight.
They are "tireless cookers”. Since
their fuel needs are comparatively

The marketing of such a plane

to our national defense. Moreover,
the manufacturing capacity of the in

where war-time needs could be sup

been willing to undertake alone the
initial development expense of plant,
machinery, and the like. To help off
set'these costs, the PWA has approp

FOR A BETTER DIET, PLANT
A VEGETABLE GARDEN
Spring is coming—despite the cold,
long-staying winter—and you will
feel the urge to go out in the garden
or the backyard and dig in the dirt.
Don’t hold back when you feel that
urge, says the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics of the U. S, Department of
agriculture. Indulge it, encourage it,
stimulate it if it is slow in coming
to life. If you are any sort of a gard
ener at all, it will probably save you
money, it will certainly give you bet
ter meals than you would otherwise
have, and it will supply, at minimum
cost, protective foods of which most
Americans do not use enough.
A half-acre garden—22o by 100 feet
—can be made to produce all the veg
etables the average family can use
throughout the growing season, and
plenty for canning, storing, and dry
ing, says W. R. Beattie, garden spec
ialist for the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture, in other words, a year’s
supply of vegetables. Even if you
have only a tenth of that space, or
just a small back yard, you can grow
some fresh green foods to help toward
a balanced diet.
Home gardens were, in fact, more
numerous last year than ever, and
there will probably be still more this
spring. From the South comes the
report of one home garden from
which “beginning with collards Jan
uary 1, there has not been a day that
we have not served fresh vegetables
grown in that garden, and in Novem
ber it contained turnips, winter
greens, mustard, onions, radishes, car
rots, spinach, collards, eggplant, to
matoes, and peppers. Besides plenty
to use for the table fresh, 150 quarts
of vegetables from htis garden were
canned, and almost $125 worth were
sold.
The Now York garden list runs
something like this:
Greens—To provide one serving per
week throughout the growing season,
from any one of the following greens,
plant: Chard or kale, a row 0 feet
long; spinach, 25 feet, whieh will al
low for 1 1-2 quarts canned; broccoli,
12 feet. (You can have beet greens
al«n from the beets listed below.)
Deduce—2 plantings, 12 foot each
to provide 4 servings a week through
the growing season.
Cabbage—4o feet, to provide 1 or 2
servings each week, and 30 pounds to
store for winter.
Tomntoes—4o feet, to allow 3 to 4
servings per week in season, and 18.
‘Hard-Hearted Boss
Opposing the administration's econ
omy plan for post office employes,
Rep. Mathew A. Dunn, blind Pitts
burgh, Pa., congressman, asserted
at a protest meeting of postal em
ployes iri New York that Uncle Sam
is a hard-hearted taskmaster who
inflicts hardships on his rnen that
he will not permit from private
industry. He ie shown speaking.

Multiplying the quantities required

nutritionally speaking, the family diet
can be with a garden. $f you are buy

“adequate diet at minimum cost,”
your garden might make it possible
for you to serve twice the quantity
of vegetables, or more. Where the
list given below includes 17 1-2 pound
of vegetables other than potatoes
every week, you could have 35
pounds. And from your garden you
could have the fresh green peas and
beans, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, rad
ishes, bbroccoli, or chard which might
cost more in the market than you
could afford. With this double quan
tity of vegetables, you would need
less cereals, sugars, and fats.
