CHICAGO POSTOFFICE
TESTS AIR SHUTTLE
CHICAGO. June 3.—(Ah—Postof
flce officials here have been experi
menting with an airplane shuttle
service to speed transfer of air
mail from the landing field.
A truck and an amphibian plane
were matched against each other—
the truck making Its way through
nine miles of traffic while the
plane sailed above, landing in the
harbor at the foot of Jackson
street, not far from the postoffice.
In tests the plane has averaged
a saving in time of 25 minutes
each trip.
Whether the system will be
adopted depends on further tests
and Washington's approval. Sav

balanced against added expense

Tile Put to Many
Uses by Builders
In This Section
i •
The people of the Lower Rio i
Grande Valley are fast learning
many of the 5001 uses for building
tile, T. B. Alexander, manger of
the William Cameron & Co., Inc.,
of Harlingen, declares.
Tile not only Is one of the most
decorative building materials but is
at the .same time highly durable,
clean and entirely sanitary, he
states. It has a multiplicity of
uses. Alexander says if anyone
doubts that there are 5001 uses for
his product he will enumerate
them for him.
The company, which has estab
lishments in nearly all the large in
dustrial renters of Texas, came to
Wall Street Pools
Are Encountering
Very Dull Season
DETROIT, Jure 3 —Pools in mo
tor stacks recently have encountered
hard sledding, except in the ease of
Packard and a lew others where
aviation or other special develop
ments gave the glamor of specula
tive appeal.
While automobile output and sales
have been maintained at a high
rate, authorities point out, rompeti
! tion in th* industry is unusually
keen and s^me of the first quarter
reports have bec-n rather disappoint
ing.
I Several successful pools have been 1
organized in the motor accessory
shares, several of which have been
marked to a new high lpvrl at the
same time that the automobile
t stocks were slipping to low levels.
Profitable operations have been
conducted in a selected assorimenl
of aviation, business appliance,
chemical. fr>od, merchandising and
publir utility isesues.
But in the parlance of Wall
street the “'tcneral market has not
been getting anywhere." High
money rat’s are blamed because
I it is difficult to get people to buy
! stocks yielding, in most cases, less
. than five per cent and force th*>m
to pay from eight to 15 per cent, for
! th° privilege o! earning them on
margin.
Pools, most of whom operate on
borrowed money, find the most pro
hibitive. particularly, when they are
unable to attract a public following
TEXAS TOWN CLAIMS

NFW BRAUNFELS. Texas. June
j 3.——This town of 4,500 claims

An ordinance requires roofs of all

coops, to he covered with sheet me
tal or other non-inflammable ma

night 35 years ago when a blaze
swept through the town.
In the last 10 ypars New Braun

THRILLS OF NIGHT
RECALLED BY PILOT
ATLANTA. June 3.—(/Pi—-Night
flvine Is far more interesting than
day flying, says Sidney *Pat> Mal
loy. airmail pilot on the New York
Atlanta run.
“Lights reveal any number of
towns and villages that completely
escape the pilot In daylight flying."
i said Malloy. “It’s a constant
i source of education for the pilot.”
Thrills also are offered the night
pilot. Malloy exnlained how sev
eral of the night fliers have noticed
farm houses ablaze and zoomed
around them until the noise of the
. motors Rwnkcn occupants. He also
recalled how Pilot Johnny Kytle
barged into Stone Mountain one
; night, escaping from his demolish
ed plane unscathed. _
. ..
Harlingen two years ago and estab
lished the Valley Tile Ar Marble
Contract division of the Wm. Cam
eron Ac Co.. Inc. Since that time
it has enjoyed good business, Alex
ander states.
In the Harlingen offices manv
samples and designs are on display.
The company has a staff of experts
who are glad to make suggestions
to the public. This advice is free.
,-We are well pleased with our
Valley business and hope to con
tinue to grow with this section."
Alexander says. “However, we
would like to teach the people more
of the 5001 uses for tile. It would
be for their own benefit as w'ell
as ours."
Diesels’ Weight
Greatly Reduced
For Aerial Work
DETROIT. June 3.—</P)—A plant |
Tor the production of the Diesel type '
of airplane motor perfected by Capt. i
L M. Woolson. aeronautical engi
neer of the Packard Motor Car com
pany. is nearing completion here.
Announced originally as a three
rtory building, it has been decided
to acid another floor The change
in plans probably will delay initial
deliveries of the new motor The
plant will have a capacity of 500
engines a month.
One of the real handicaps in
adapting a Diesel type motor to
aviation had to be overcome by
Captain Woolson in perfecting the
motor. This was to reduce the
weight of the engine. The great
weight of the original Diesel motor
confined Its use almost entirely to
marine work or stationary plants.
Captain Woolson is understood to
hadeveloped his type with a
weight of about two pounds per
horsepower.
Using what Captain Woolson calls
furnace oil" instead of gasoline, it
ir, claimod the Diesel type motor
ran ho operated at from one-third
to one-fifth as m?ich as a gasoline
engine.
In a recent, flight from Detroit
to Langley field. Va . Captain Wool
son reported the 700 miles covered
la six hours and 50 minutes and the
consumption of "14 68 worth of fur
nace oil."
Reduction of the tremendous
weight of the motor as brought out
by Dr. Rudolf Diesel, a.German en
gineer. in 1897. has been made pos
sible through the development of an
alumninum alloy that could with
stand the great pressure brought
against the cylinder walls.
DEMAND FOR LABOR
PAMPHLETS GAINING
GENEVA. June 1 —The interna
tional labor office's publications on
technical subjects are increasing
steadily und*r pressure of a world

in sales have been notable in Ger
many. Great Britain and Spain. The
next countries on the list are
France and Italy. Approximately
*2.000 worth of the publications w’ere

AUTO PRODUCTION
APPROACHES PEAK
WASHINGTON. June 3.——

covering 151 motor vehicle makers
in the United States show that 570.
986 more passenger automobiles
were produced during the first four
months this year than last.

maintained the total production of
. this type of car In 1929 will be ap
■ proximately 5.500.000 compared with

Plant at Eighth and Fron
ton Produces 40 Dozen
Pieces Per Day
Located in a territory that is
agricultural for the mast part, the
McNair Clothing Manufacturing
Co.. Eighth and Fronton streets, is
doubly interesting and renders a
much felt need in this section.
The concern, capable of produc
ing 40 Horen garments a day.
manufactures work pants, coats,
shirts and other similar articles.
Their line is known as the Dur
able Brand Work Clothing and is
sold entirely through the Valley
Wholesale Dry Goods company.
More than 80 people are employ
ed by the manufacturv and 48 ma
chines are kept in operation. Their
products, especially duck coats for
hunters. are well known over this
trade territory. These coats are
sold as far north as Racine. Wis.
The plant is of the most modern
type and every machine is electri
cally operated To the layman,
most of these intricate machines J
remain a mystery but they are,
ever fascinating. It is interesting
to watch the smallest one tn the
establishment, approximately she
inches high and about ten inches
long, equipped with three hundred
crooked nedles and a trimming
knife making 8500 stitches per
minute and trimming the cloth at
the same time.
About 60 layers of material are |
laid on a table 69 feet long and
electric cutter goes through them as
if they were butter.
The button hole machine Is so
set that it will make a certain
number cf stitch°s per button hole. |
All of the minute details arc fig
ured out in manufacturing what
the conrem believes to he among
the best products to be found on
the market am w here A waLsting
machine. In one operation, sews tn
, the pockets, the waist lining and
the belt loop*.
Only two of the employes are
capable of making a romplete gar

others are taught to do one nartlr

they become, the greater their re
muneration.
