This plane, said Mr. Martin, will be as big as a m house. Meanwhile, another company is reported to have already completed the wooden dummy of a ship that will dwarf the Martin monster n model which could move a whole battalions across the continent overnight. Already in use are newjnethods of construction which lighten aircraft by hundreds of pounds and so tremendously increase their passenger and freight carrying ability. Naturally, these planes are at present only in military form. When Peace Comes.

They probably will drive a modestly priced automobile that runs 35 miles on a gallon of gasoline and will negotiate terrain and hills formerly suitable only for the mountain goat. If they live on a farm they probably will have an amazing vehicle that can be used to plough, harrow, milk and round up the cows. When vacation time comes around they may fly over to Cairo or down to Buenos Aires for the week-enOr they may even make an trip during the head of the familys traditional two weeks off with pay. These are not fancies conjured from a Lewis Carroll (who authored Alice In Wonderland) imagination. They are practical potentialities which industrial experts already are forecasting as the logical peacetime application of armament developments. War is a forceful spur to the progress of industrial science and invention. Under its duress there is no time for the cautiously slow experiments which mark the reception accorded new inventions and discoveries in years of peace. New methods, netv materials are accepted overnight and are tested in the acid furnaces of combat. The tragedy of modern warfare is an anachronism of progress. Distance Annihilated. There is no better illustration of this than the advancement made by aviation as a result of World War I. The airplane represented new potentialities of speed and destruction and as such was seized upon as a weapon of offense by the Allies and their enemies alike. In the short period of four years aviation made an advance that would have required a quarter of a century in normal times. Today, the same situation magnified ten times over obtains. Only recently, Glenn Martin, the noted aircraft designer, announced plans n behemoth of the air for a gave man a thing concerning which it were irreverent to ponder how the Son of God would have done it.

Flying freight trains probably will become the order of the skies. The increasing public interest in aviation, the training of thousands of young men as expert pilots and the strides made by safety in aviation also presage a new era of private flying. Ten years, even five years from now, plane-rentand services probably will be too commonplace to be news. When priorities are no longer necessary, stall proof, spin - proof planes such as the Ercoupe and Skyfarere (notable for folding wing features) probably will travel side by side with automobiles along the highways as they shuttle from air field to al garage.

Miracle Car Forecast for Farm Use. As in aviation so in the world of automotive progress the developments of war will become integrated into Americas peacetime pattern of life a few years hence. In recent tests conducted by the United States department of agrid culture and Motors, Inc., makers and manufacturers of the standard design Jeep, at Auburn, Ala., and Toledo, Ohio, the vehicle gave promise of performing with the same versatility on the farm as it presently is doing on the battlefields of Europe and the Far East. During these tests the car did everything from cultipacking and harrowing a field in one operation, using 2.12 gallons of gas per acre, to hauling almost a ton and a half of farm produce a distance of 13 miles on a gallon of gasoline. Already known as the armys miracle car, the Jeep is the descendant of a motor driven platform on wheels known as the which was first demonstrated at Fort Benning, Ga., in 1940.
