If anyone knows the answer to that question it should be the avia tion experts in large airplane com panies, in the government and in aviation associations. But a review e>f statements made by these au thorities indicates that your guess •or mine is apt to be just about as accurate as theirs. William Burden, assistant to the secretary of commerce for air, ac cording to a study of “Aviation Predictions" published by Simonds Accessories. Inc., predicts that within five to ten years there will be 450,000 privately owned planes in this country, which is the high among predictions. S. Paul John ston, Washington representative of the Curtiss - Wright corporation, gives the conservative low estimate of 20,000 planes. The National Re sources Planning board estimates 35,000, while Charles L Stanton, civil aeronautics administrator, thinks there will be 300,000 private planes in active service within four years after the end of the war. As for prices, the experts are a little more in agreement. Prac tically all those quoted expect pri vate planes to be available \ in the $1,000 to $3,000 price range. Com menting on probable price reduc tions, Andrew Kucher, director of research of Bendix Aviation, said: **Sn 1010, automobiles cost $1.52 per pound, whereas in 1040, the price of a much better and more complete auto was in the range of 35 to 00 cents per pound. As air craft manufacture undergoes a sim ilar evolution, its present cost of $3 to $5 per pound will inevitably come down, and the all-round airplane of the $10,000 to $15,000 class will begin to approach the ideal cost of $2,000 to $3,000." SAFETY proof The number of planes sold after the war will depend almost entire ly on the public demand. There will certainly be little problem about quantity production of all the planes the people will buy with the plane-producing facilities we now have in this country.- But the public demand will be governed to a great extent by cost and safety—and that still is a pro duction problem. Costs will un doubtedly come down rapidly and all sorts of safety devices have been invented which will make private planes much safer than they were before the war. Wil liam Piper, president of the Piper Aircraft corporation, one of the leading manufacturers of private planes, says: "The postwar private plane will be practically fool proof, but not darn fool proof." ( Perhaps we can never expect a plane which is "dam fool’' proof; W many people, who are now tim id about venturing into the air, will want to see a long demonstration of safe flying before buying a fam ily plane. Although the perfection of the use of the helicopter, according to the. experts, will take some time, 1 imagine it will be the helicopter, or something similar, which finally will bring real popularity to pri vate flying. I think most individu als look tor the day when they can. leant to fly in the way which W. Lawrence LePage, president ef the Ptatt-LePage aircraft company, says they will be able to do with, the helicopter. He says: "A novice need only lift the machine a tew inches off the ground at first, hover, move around and land. As he gains more confidence he will rise further and fly forward, backward, and sideways until he is accus tomed to his controls, the feeling of flying, and judgment in landing.** EUROPE ...» a $100 Undoubtedly the biggest develop*, ment immediately after the war 1 will be in commercial rather than private flying. Plans are now in the making for gigantic expansion of the use of big passenger planes and freight planes flying to all cor ners of the world. In addition, small planes and helicopters will be operated to carry people short dis tances—in many instances to re place bus lines. Again the experts are not entire ly in agreement as to the rates which will be charged immediately after the war as well as ten years after. Estimates of domestic pas senger rates immediately after the war vary from 7.5 cents per mile to 4.5 cents per mile and predic tions of rates ten years from now range from 2.5 cents per mile to 5 cents per mile. As for overseas travel, the ex perts say the cost will be from 8 to 10 cents per mile right after, the war and may go down to 5 cents per mile within ten years. Glenn L. Martin, president of the Glenn L. Martin company, says his company is already planning a 250,- t)0B-pound commercial air vessel on which passengers will be able to make a round trip from New York to London for $400. A. N. Kemp, president of Amer ican Airlines, is even more opti mistic about low* rates. He says:*' "In the not too distant future we can expect rates which will pro vide fares within the reach of all, on planes cruising upwards of four hundred miles an hour. This will permit fares of approximately $25 from New York to Chicago, $75 ta Los Angeles, $100 to Europe, $75 to Mexico City and $7 to Wash ington." wmmm! : % T i l pi*. u. __ 8676 34-48 ‘SWEETHEART NECK’ ' No. 8676—An apron as flattering ' as a pretty dress—the neckline is one you rarely see on an ordinary apron!

For several years I had such se vere pains in the muscles all ov er my body that I was unable to walk up and down steps without extreme suffering. I had very Ut ile appetite, I could scarcely ever get a good nights sleep and I f?lt nervous and miserable practical ly all the time. Sluggish elimina tion also gave me considerable trouble. I tried treatments and medicines for years without find ing much relief. "Retonga gave me grand relief. I have a splendid appetite, I sleep MR. ANDREW J. FLOWERS lots better, and best of all, those severe pains in my muscles are so reUeved that I am now able to move around freely. Even the sluggish elimination is relieved. I feel worlds better generally. Re tonga is fine." Retonga is intended to reUeve- distress due to Vitamin B-l defi- - icy. constipation, insufficient flow of digestive juices in the stomach, and loss of appetite. Ac cept no substitute. Retonga may be obtained at Peoples Drug Store. —Adv. FINAL SETTLEMENT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick. In The Court Of Probate. Notice is hereby given that Wil- mina M.
