Babson Forecasts Trips Acre' s Atlantic By Air At Fairs As Low As SSO BY ROGER W. BABSON, Copyright 1938, Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. Shipboard SS Scythia, Oct. I.—l am always glad to be aboard a ship on the ocean. Probably this is because most of my ancestors were ship cap tains. They sailed from Boston to China, Africa, and the East Indies. Those skippers of a hundred years ago must have been great men. They had to be not only good navigators but also shrewd merchants and keen bankers. Remember, they had no radios nor cables, and but few light houses to guide them. Shipping Progress Slow. One of my great-uncles, Captain Gorham P. Low, ran a swift sailing packet between Boston and Liverpool. It carried passengers and freight and made the trip in 23 days. When we consider that the average trans-At lantic liner today crosses in eight or nine days—at thousands of times the expense —we have not made too much progress. Os course, the Queen Mary makes it in four days, but this is a stunt. The Queen Mary is not a self supporting business proposition and yet the fare is so high that only the rich can use her. Most all modern ships are now sub sidized by their governments. They must have help because their ex penses are gigantic and the tariff bar riers on the cargoes they carry are so high. The old sailing ships got their power free from the winds. Some times when oil begins to give out and governments" Tiave exhausted their credit you will see more sailing ships on the seas —at least more sailing ships carrying cargoes. They will re quire more crew than steamships; but larger crews will help to cut down unemployment. Great Future For Aviation. As for oceanic passenger travel, I believe that within a few years it will be mostly by air. The present super : de luxe steamships will become as I antiquated as the horse and buggy. By air it will be only an overnight : trip from New York to London or , Paris. It will also be a safe trip be cause three airships will go hitched I together one above the other ‘‘pick | a-back” style. Then if one gives out, the other two will carry the lame duck along. These airships will travel 20,000 feet I above the earth to be free from storms and fogs. Owing to the short time required, the fare can be made very low, say fifty dollars. In fact, as soon a%> the transcontinental airplane I companies emerge from the experi | mental stage so they will not have What Do You Knov About Nortl Carolina? By T ?RE7> H. MAY 1.

An act of the legislature of 1919 made November 11, Armistice Day, a legal holiday in North Carolina. | 3. Durham county was established in 1881. Sixteen years before that time i a charter had been granted the town of Durham, then located in Orange county. 4. The United States census reports of that year showed that one-third of all native born North Carolinians were living in other States. 5. The first cotton mill in North Carolina, and probably the first south of the Potomac, was established by Michael Schenck at Lincolnton in 1813. I 6. In 1770.

Selling Point for Steamships. While airships are becoming safer every day, steamships are also eli minating dangers. They are being fit ted with automatic sprinkler systems and other protection against fire. They have submarine signals and radio communication between ships and shore as well as between ships. Now, radio engineers are perfecting a fog-piercing ray and an iceberg de tector. I am sure that I am safer to day on this ship than you are on the streets of your community. The biggest hope that steamships have against air competition is their vacation appeal. Millions of people feel that a ten day or two weeks’ cruise is the best relaxation possible. Hence, those who have the leisure will continue to prefer to cross the ocean 1 by boat, but the steamships will lose I much lucrative business. The mari time labor problem is still bad too, although it is better than a year ago. At that time the situation was im possible, but Joseph Kennedy’s Mari time Commission smoothed it out to a considerabel extent. Own Some Aviation Stpcks. For many years I have not cared for securities of shipping companies. I prefer to hold the securities of in dustries that have a great future. That is why I believe that every one should own some aviation securities. The industry has tremendous possi bilities. It is in that stage of the in dustrial life cycle where the maxi-1 mum risk is gone, but the maximum growth still lies - ahead. Stocks of j many other industries are also attrac-! tive now because of the bright busi ness’ outlook. When I sailed for England a year ago, business was just starting its tailspin. It hit the ground with a bump and a lot of people were hurt. : The situation today is exactly the re- I verse. The low in business was reach ed on June 8. Since then there ha& ■ been an increase of 11 per cent as far • as the United States is concerned. * Moreover, war scares, hurricanes, and j the like have not yet halted the sharp upswing. On the day I sailed business was at a new peak for 1938 and still! rising. Now, what about conditions in I Europe? European Business Poorer? I fear that while business has been I fear that while busings has been improving in the United States, it has been falling off in Europe, particular ly in Great Britain. My boat reaches England on Tuesday. From London, I go to Holland, Belgium, Germany and France. In the next three weeks, ! - vMI tell you what I find in these ce-wtries, for I know that everyone ally interested in the outlook lur r or peace. TRAINING SCHOOL FOR WPA WORKERS The WPA area recreation training | institute at Crabtree Creek camp ! closed Friday afternoon after a three day session.

Six other counties were represented at the meeting which ■featured discussions of recreation problems and activities led by ex perts in the various fields.
