AERIAL LAWS
BEING MADE
Rapid Progress of Flying
Brings Legislative
Regulations
NEW YOKK. Aug. 19—<.FV—With
aviation activities of all kinds In
creasing over the country, 41 states
considered aeronautic laws in the
1928-29 sessions of the legislatures.
Thirty-six enacted such laws, ac
cording to a survey announced by
the aeronautical chamber of com
merce.
Altogether. 250 bills were consid
ered and 106 enacted. Seventy-one
were aimed at the regulation or li
censing of pilots and aircraft 84
were general acts and 35 were spe
cial acts authorizing the mainten
ance and establishment of airports
The report of the survey w'as
made by Prof. Harry J. Freeman of
New York university law school,
head of the legal and legislative
research service of the aeronautical
chamber.
“The survey shows that theer has
been unprecedented legislative ac
tivity in this fielJ.” Professor Free
man said. “That the legislatures
have been prompt to respond to the
general interest in controlling aero
natuical activity is clearly apparent.
Whether these legislative activities
have produced the results contem
plated is a question for future expe
rience to show.
“That the separate and individ
ual activities of 41 jurisdictions by
41 separate legislative groups did
not produce a more chaotic condi
tion is something worthy of remark.
In view of the number of jurisdic
tions, the general effect of the sta
tutes operating within the respec
tive states has resulted in a uni
formity that must be deemed com
mendable.
“While the major part of the leg
islation has been with reference tc
the regulation of aircraft end the
establishment of airports, there has
been a manifestation of some legis
lative activity in other fields, more
particularly in connection with an
attempt to cope with the new situ
ations which have appeared with
the phenomenal growth of aviation
“Already different theories as t(
the proper method of meeting these
problems by the enactment of sta
tutes have appeared and probably
are the forerunners of widely diver
gent legislative policies.
“The proper solution of these
problems, which involves the weigh
ing of the interests of the general
public on one hand and the en
couragement of th* development of
commercial aviation on the other
required careful investigation.”
Professor Freeman pointed out
the need of authoritative studies tr
guide legislation and said the fu
ture of aviation legislation must be
regarded with apprehension unless
an effort is made to divert the in
dividual efforts of the several legis
latures.

BUILDING IS
ON BIG BOOM
Best Week of Year Experi
enced; Galveston Leads
All Texas Cities
DALLAS. Texas. Aug. 19.—m—
Building contractors in Texas ex
perienced the best week of the year
in the seven days just ended as
building speeded up in almost all
sections of the state.
Galveston recorded a total of $1.
514295 owing to preparations to
start building the Galveston Wharf
company's new grain elevator. A
nrmber of btg warehouses, a large
store and several expensive resi
dences pushed Houston’s total to al
most a million for the week. Wlchi
lta Falls had an unusually good
week with permits issued for exten
sive repairs and an addition to the
Orient Petroleum refinery, an apart
ment house and several expensive
residences.
Port Arthur’s total almost touched
the hundred thousand mark be
cause of the Issuance of a final per
mit for the 10-story Goodhue hotel.

ed apartment mansion, for the dis
tinctiveness is assured by the rent
itself. Figured at $3,000 a room,
it is the highest rent ever charged
for an apartment in New York and
probably the world.
The apartment occupies the three
top floors of the new 32-story Ho
tel Delmonico, named after the
famous old restaurant that is no
more. It is at Fifty-ninth street
and Park avenue.
About $20,000 worth of apartment
is located on the top floor—with 29
windows through which may be
seen practically the whole island of
Manhattan and a lot of Long Island
and New Jersey besides.
It consists of a mammoth living
room—45x17 feet—with an 18-foot
vaulted ceiling; two promenades,
one 39 feet long, and the other 22;
and an attractive, airy little room
labeled “vault” in the floor plan,
but which, as was pointed out,
would make a perfect bar. There
is a big fireplace in the drawing
room, and a smaller one in one of
the promenades.
On the floor below are one din
ing room. 29x17, with a fireplace; a
combined kitchen and butler’s pan
try, 41 feet long and w’ith six win
dows looking out toward the Wool
worth tower; a library. 23x15, with
built-in book shelves and a fire
place; a butler's bedroom: and the
master's den. 9x12, the smallest
room in the apartment.
The bottom floor is given over to
five bedrooms, a nursery, and a
place for the valet to do his press
ing.
The master's and mistress’ bed
rooms, with a connecting dressing
room and pink tiled bath, extend
clear across the east side of the
building more than a quarter of a
block, and milady’s room has a fire-,
place.
The three floors are connected by
a private stairway, in addition tc
which there are three elevators, twr
for the family and one for the
servants.

Early Date Best
For Egg Contest
EAST LANSING, Mich., Aug. 19.
—The ninth international egg
laying contest at Michigan state
college will start October 1, 1930, in
stead of Novebzer 1.
The earlier starting date is be
ing adopted, says Prof. C. G. Card,
chief poultryman, so that contest
ants may ship their pullets to the
contest before they come into pro
duction.
He has observed that most pul
lets which are laying at the tune of
shipment suffer a setback and much
time is lost before complete recov
has been effected
WHEAT SAID
RUST PROOF
•• ..—..
Canadians Develop Grain; f
American Farmers
Taking Heart
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19— (*b —
Dr. J. H. Grlsdale. deputy minister
of the Canadian department of ag
riulture, is quoted in Ottawa as an- *
nouncing the development of
wheats which can resist rust.
Seed will not be available in large
quantities, but it is expected that
eventually the new wheat will save
Canadian farmers millions of dol
lars every year.
The announcement is of deep in
terest to wheat specialists in the
United States, where black stem rust
causes probably greater loss to the
soring wheat crop than all other
diseases combined.
The federal plant-disease survey
esfimates that stem rust has caused
lasses of spring and winter wheat
during recent years ranging from
665 000 bushels in 1918 to about 180,
000.000 in 1916. with an average
annual less of nearly 38.000.000
bushels in the 13 north-central
states.
Efforts to halt the tremendous
destruction include eradication of
the common barberry, host plant of
black stem rust: the growing of
rust-resistant varieties and th* use
of improved methods of field cul
ture. •
Production of \-arleties resistant
to rust is a comnlex problem since
the disease consists of many biolog
ical form* which differ in their
nathogenicity for certain varieties of
wheat.
That explains why the same va
riety may resistant when grown
<r one locality and susceptible
whrn grown in another, nr whv a *
va-ie*f nav be resistant in one
ve*r and sos'ertib’e tp. the r.*xt.
It is obvious, p’art pathologists
say. tha* if wheat is to be resistant
in the field it must be resistant to
*11 hiologic forms present In the
looalitv in which it. Is to b* grown.
Whether th* Canadians have ac
complished this fp«t remains to be
neterm'n*-d. UntH that time there is
« question whether th* wheat, al
though resistant !n Canada’s miring
n-pn«t n<Tdr',B' would be resistant
in the United Ptates.
The United States department of
agriculture has had varied success
in developing resistance in pure
straps end In crosses but has been
unable to find a wheat uniformly
resistant In al! regions In all sea- _
«ors. Twentv-one bio’o'dc forms of
rust h°ve been found in the upper j
ha’f of the M1«s«ssinn| vallev. A
winter wheat. Kanred. is resistant |
to two of these forms and immune -
from 11.
One of the chief difficulties is to
frd .* hardv wheat th»t at the sany
time is prolific and of high protein
content. Kota anna rent h’ is highlv
resistant in the snnnp wheat areas
but its straw is weak.

tng them a cold cobalt blue. “I have
a date later on tonight, or I'd ask
you to have dinne- with me. But,
after tonight, I’ll have no more
dates."
He tucked her hand under his
arm, as if they were old and affec
tionate friends, and side by side
they walked out of the lobby and
down the alley *o the wide parking
space behind the building.
His car was an open roadster. It
was painted a showy bottle green,
and it was decorated with gilt lines
that ran arount the body and the
hood.
"Some boat!" said Bryant. He
liked it.
“Some boat!!" echoed Chatty,
climbing into it.
It was not until she was settled
beside him in the seat that she saw
another open roadster—one that she
knew—on the other side of the
parking spar:.
It was a gray, snub-nosed car. Its
top was down, and so was its wind
shield. It was weather beaten, and
a great deal of its gray paint was
gone ... It was Dave Jordan's
Pride of America.
Under It. flat on his back, lay a
long-legged, red-headed man. who
was tinkering with something that
evidently had gone wrong with its
mechanism.
"Hello—that’s Jordan, isn’t it?”
Bryant Dunning asked Chatty, look
ing at the shock of red hair that
was visible at one end of the car.
"Perhaps I ought to see if I can
help him."
"Suit yourself.” Chatty's tone was
flat.
“Well, I guess I won't, then,”
Bryant decided. “There's no reason
why I should ... He and I never
did get along very well, and he
probably wouldn’t give me a hand
if I needed one. '
“Have you known him a long
time?’*
Bryant nodded. “Went to school
with him years ago. Known him
ever since. Hov/ many engage
ments have you for this week?'*
Chatty giggled happily. “None—
except for Friday night. Winnie's
having a birthday party—”
"And you’re going to it with me,”
he finished the sentence for her.
“And you’re going to see me every
night this week, besides.’*
Chatty giggled again, excitedly.
This sort of hing was new to her.
and it went to her head like wine.
‘ How lovely.” she aiid. blinking
up at him. the r.unse. in her eyes.
How lovely to see you every night!
—I mean it. I think you’re wonder
ful.”
She had almost forgotten about
Dave Jordan lying under the Pride
of America, tinkering with its 1924
motor . . . The du” ache that had
been In her he-rt for a week was
gone. Completely now.
When Bryant Dunning put out
his hand, and took hers in it, she
did not take it away. All the way
out to Lipton : -eet he held it,
stroked it. patted it.
“Now, remember, every night this
week,” were the last words he said
to her when he left her at her door.
“Every one—for ire.”
But the next morning he told her
that he was going jut cf town anr'
wouldn’t be bac until Friday night
“Doggoned shame," he said, and
he said it as if he meant it “I’m
embarrassed a' 'Ut having to go.
too, Just now, when I'm starting this
new job—but it can’t be helped. By
the way, my train doesn’t get in un
til 9 o’clock Friday night, so why
don’t you go to Winnie's house ..om
the office and I’ll meet you there?"
So on Friday Chatty took her only
party dress to the office in a little
leather bag that belonged to her
mother, and when Winnie went
home at half past five she went
with her.
Winnie’s flat was cozy, with its
dark-red silk curtains, its deep arm
chairs heaped with cushions, its
many lamps and vases and knick
knacks. “Stuff my mother le.. me
when she died,” Winnie explained,
when Chatty admired it.
Winnie's dressing table was a
jumble of curling irons, perfume
bottles, cold cream Jars, tissue pa
pers for removing cold cream from
the face, powder boxes, rouge boxes
and lipsticks.
“I am going to make up your face
for you. Chat," Winnie said, when
they began to ::et dressed. “And,
believe me. I can do it. Mabel Jen
kins, who lives here with me—only
she’s away on her vacation now—
is the most colorless thing on earth.
But you should see her when I fix
her up!”
She tied a towel around Chatty's
shoulders and began to wave her
her hair with her curling iron.
“Don’t bum It," said Chatty, ner
vously. She did not want to have
her hair waved, but she did not
want to offend Winnie, either.
“Don't you worry—I won't,” Win
nie promised, and when the hair
was all waved and done up. she got
out a box of mascara and spread
it all over Chatty’s eyelashes that
were so thick and dark naturally that
they needed no mascara at all.
“You’re going to be the cat’s party
dress, all right!’ declared Winnie
picking up a box of salmon-colored
rouge. “All you need is to be paint
ed up a little .. . I’ve been dying to
do it ever since I’ve known you."
“Dave would hate me like this."
thought Chatty, watching the clock
and wishing that It was half past
nine and that ryant was there.
"Maybe Bryant won’t like me
when he sees me all dolled up like
this,” she said aloud, looking at her
reflection in the glass with doubtful
eyes.
Winnie gave a laugh. “I wish you
knew him the way I do—and that
wouldn’ tworry you,” she answered
“All the girls I’ve ever seen him
with were nifty steppers, all dressed
up like Zulu hand carr He says,
himself, you’re the first flat heel he
ever fell for.”
“Flat heel?” asked Chatty, who
never could kee up with Winnie’s
ever-changing slang.
“Yeah—Flat Heel," Dinnie repeat
ed. “You know—a girl who won’t
take a drink or smoke a cigarette,
or do any petting. Bum sports, In
other words.”
