ABOVE ^HULLABALOO By LYTLE HULL Airplane, Passenger and Freight The airplane of the near future will certainly revolutionize pass enger traffic. Air travel to San Francisco, or to London or Paris, will become so reasonable in price and so short in time, that people will actually fly to such places— from New York for instance—just to spend two or three days on business or for a rest. Trips to the Orient; trips even around the world will become as simple and inexpensive as a present day rail run to the health-giving shores cf Florida. The airplanes of a few hence will carry maybe three, four or five hundred passengers. They will doubtless carry all “through mail,” and any light or wil1 follow, medium express or freight which i was once believed his company started a program a year ago for the construction of 50 great ocean Clippers which will carry 153 passengers apiece front New York to London in ten hour, at a cost of $100 per passenger. Whed these—and even large.’ ships are in the sky—who will want to pay $200 to $500 for a luxury line steamship for a five- day trip to Europe apd maybe a little seasickness thrown in fe * extra? Who will want to travel overland by rail at a tenth th> speed and at greater expense? But as the airplane takes thes i passengers from rail and ship i , years | wid likewise start new commur i - ties in undreamed of paradises i y the hinterlands of Africa and cl Brazil, and the roads and rai s must be delivered quickly. But fer the airplane to carry the great mass of heavy freight which today is shipped by rail or sea, or even by truck, would never be economical so long as planes are run by gasoline and moved by propellers. Some day cur present system of aerodynamics may be discarded for entirely different methods of heavier than air flight; but until that time comes the railroads are going to carry the coal, the oil, the lumber, the bricks and the heavy machinery. And railroads make their “big money” hauling heavy freight, and this applies to the great por tion of the shipping industry. that th; railroads would put an end to the canal boat and even the coas f - wise shipping along our shore . But all they have. done is to in crease thq business of these slcv. - er systems of transportation b/ always opening up new countries. Man and freight v/ill always sec : the most economical means of transportation. Where the “old fashioned” canal boat is avail able, and when time is a small factor, the railroad can’t even compete. And so with air travel as w? know it today or as^we can visu alize it for the future: It will always cost many times mere i > haul freight through the air than There is little doubt but that i by rail or by ship, and the Broth - the airplane will eventually ac-1 erhood of Locomotive Engineer; quire most of the long-distance doesn’t have to worry much abeir. passenger traffic.
