MANY PLACES
NEAR FUTURE
NEW YORK, July 22 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Commercial aviation
in the United States shows a healthy
and a steadily growing popularity,
says the Manufacturers’ Aircraft As
sociation in making public the report
of representatives, who have just
completed a tour of the country which
included inspection flights over most
of the territory now served by aerial
transport.
“The airplane is undergoing the
same development experienced by
other vehicles of transportation in
troduced to the public, the various
sections of the country according it
receptions in conformance with their
individual topography, customs and
natural resources,” the report said.
“The southwest and Pacific coast
are leading in the adaption of air
craft to commercial use and plans
in preparation contemplate honey
combing that area with a network of
aerial transportation lines. In the
middle west the airplane is being
adopted as the occasion demands, and
it is meeting with encouraging suc
cess. With severe competition of
railroads and highways, lack of land
ing fields and the considerable in
difference of the Middle Atlantic
States., New England is accepting it
with customary conservatism; the
south is using it mainly for private
purposes and Florida and the West
Indies have come to recognize flying
as a most important method of com
munication.

and aircraft motors and 85 manufac

past few months 20 new airplane dis
tributing agencies have been estab
lished throughout the country and
new aerial transport operating com
panies have been formed in New

“Aviators are convinced of the
practicability of establishing passen
ger and express lines throughout the
entire Pacific coast, which roughly
speaking, consists of two great moun
tain ranges and series of yalleys. The
plans for such lines, now. in prepar
ation contemplate connecting San
Francisco with Los Angeles, San'
Francisco with Del Monte, San Fran
cisco with Portland, Ore., over the
Cascade range, and Portland with Ta
coma and Seattle, Wash., with an al
most certain extension of this line
eastward to Spokane. A 10-passenger j
airplane service already is in opera-j
tion between San Francisco and Los'
Angeles and a seaplane mail and (
package express line between Seattle I
and British Columbia points will be
gin operations within a few weeks.
“At present there are some 150
airplanes in commercial use in Cal
ifornia and 50 more in Oregon and
Washington, while a number equal to
that of California are in operation in
Texas. Most of the machines in Tex
as are privately operated by per- j
sons who made fortunes in oil, but
contracts were recently let for aircraft
to be used in transporting supplies
between cities aiM the oil fields. Min
ing and oil companies desiring emer
gency supplies or the replacement cf
soecial tools have come to depend on
airplanes which, with the level lands
and natural landing fields of the coun
try and the long distances over
which railroads are unable to make
quick time, have provided an impetus
to commercial adoption of the air
plane in Texas.
“A score of flying boats arp in oper
ation on the Mississippi and other
rivers of the Middle West, and 15 on
Lake Michigan, with every indication
pointing to a substantial increase of
the number before winter. Negotia-;
tions also are underway for 10 Amer- j
ican-built flying boats of the recently
produced 12 and 18-passenger type
for use on the Great Lakes and the
St. Lawrence river.
“Two companies that last winter
operated a flying boat service from
Florida to Bimini, Havana and Nas
sau, and carried more than 3,000 pas
sengers, are now employing between
10 and 15 machines in a fairly regular
service between New York, Boston
and Atlantic City. Both of these
operating companies have been finan
cially successful and have announced
that they will double their equip
ment this winter.”
CRYING NEED OF
OFFICE ROOMS
SHUTS HOTELS
NEW YORK, July 22 (by Associat
ed Press).—The bidding power of the
office seekers and not prohibition has
caused many hotels in the general vi
cinity of Forty--second street to close
recently, according to opinions of
real estate men expressed today.
Within a relatively short time of
one another such old anjl famous
hostelries as the Holland House, Sher
ry’s and the Fifth Avenue hotel
have closed their doors and more re
cently the Knickerbocker—a rela
tively new and imposing structure—
abandoned business.
“Prohibition has done this,” cried
many “wets,” but now one well known
hotel woman advanced the theory that
the steady march of business toward
the newer uptown sections was a par
amount consideration of the men who
decided to close their hostelries.
“A hotel doesn’t have to run behind
to close,” she declared, “if the owner
of the property considers it better
business policy to erect an office
building on the ground, he isn’t like
ly to let sentiment sway him. Pro
hibition? No! Let’s say business!” j
Real estate men admitted, however,
there "was no general formula to ac
count for the disappearance of the
old hotels, some of them the posses
sors of international reputations.
Some people who are closely in
touch with the hotel business ascribe
the closing of some of the older
houses to the fact that the principles
of hotel construction have undergone
radical changes in the last decade.
Hotels, they say, are being built
with several times as many rooms as
formerly, effecting a concentration
about one controlling headquarters
and reducing the “overhead expense” "
incident to upkeep of individual
rooms and apartments.
Something more than a sentimental
loss is entailed in the passing of the
old hotels, another hotel manager
points out.
“With the closing of the Holland
House, Sherry’s, the Knickerbocker
and the Manhattan,” he said, “there
has been a decrease of about 2,200
rooms available in the center of the
city. Recent structures have sup
plied about 4,200 rooms, leaving a net
gain of about 2,000 rooms in five
years. This gain is not adequate to
accommodate the increased demand. I
doubt if even the new hotels now
planned will be sufficient to supply
the demands of the greater number
of applicants.”
That this fact is appreciated by
hotel interests is proved by the ex
tensive preparations being made to
fill the need. Plans are under way for
the construction of several new hotels
in the up-town district.
One large hotel is to add 2,000
rooms and another will be so recon
structed as to contain at least 3,000 '
rooms. In addition, besides con- ~
struct ion of smaller houses, it is said
that a California syndicate is casting
about for sites for several mammoth
hotels in the city.

TAHITI CLAIMS FIRST 1
AERIAL NAVIGATION
PAPEETE, Tahiti, July 22 (by As
sociated Press).—Tahiti natives used
big kites for airplanes long before fly
ing machines were invented, accord
ing to native traditions. On a cliff at
Taiarapu in Tahiti there is a project
ing rock marked round about''with
deep worn grooves. This point is on
the peninsula separated from the main
island by a wide bay. Here, it is said,
the old natives were accustomed, when
the wind was in the right direction,
to fly enormous kites, attaching the
ropes to the projecting rock. The
kites were large enough to support a
man and often on favorable days a
man would, by using the kite as an
airplane and then as a parachute, ac- -
complish safely the journey across
the bay.
