Worley of civil engin- eering department in an interview yesterday on the probable growth of /transportation in this country. "As to air transportation," he said, "it has all the earmarks of great possibilities. Whether the means to be used will be lighter-than-air craft, heavier-than-air, or an entirely new type of ship, it is difficult to say at this time." ! The probable growth of the industry in a city famed for its automobiles was attributed to the facilities which Detroit offers for the manufacture of aircraft. "In addition to the manu- facturing plants, which include the large groups of mechanical engineers, the community has large amounts of ,o ailable wealth and many men who 'ave shown courage in building up the motor car industry," he said. In remarking upon the future of te motor bus, Professor Worley! stated that this means of transpqrta- tion will not develop extensively for passengers or freight on long hauls, but that the practice of running bus- es from outlying communities to the centers. of large cities will probably 'be successful. In regard to the railroads, he said they would not extend their opera- tions into new territory, but' rather would develop their present systems more extensively. In spite of the bus operations, "which are really only *supplementary, the railroads will con- tinue to be the backbone of our trans- portation system," he said. Hoover Names Michigan Man T0 mines Post Scott Turner, mining engineer, who was recently chosen director of mines by Herbert Hoover, secretary of com- merce, is a Michigan graduate, having received the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in 1902. Following graduation from the Uni- versity, Turner studied at the Michi- gan College of Mines at Houghton, re- \?ceiving the degree of Mining Engineer in 1904. He immediately entered active work in the mining district of western United States, serving as field super- intendent of the Ugnited States geo-. logical survey, millman, executive, and assayer for private interests from 1902-05. Traveling southward to the Province of Veragua, Panama, he spent one year as general superin- tendent ,for the Pontiac-Panama Min- ing company.- Retiring momentarily w from field activities, he acted as as- sisting editor of the Mining and Sci- entific Press, of San Francisco. Alaska was the scene of Mr. Turn- er's next activity, where he acted as operating engineer with gold-mining interests in Nome, Dawson, and Fair- banks. Field work in the tin mines about Cornwall, England, occupied hin for several months, after which he journeyed northward to Spitzenber- gen where he became general manager of the Arctic Coal company, an Amer- ican firm, with operations in Norway and Spitzenbergen. During his con- nection with the latter firm, he open- ed and operated coal mines for five years on the island of Spitzenbergeh, 825 miles north of the Arctic circle. Recently the engineer offered an extensive'collection of minerals to the department of Mineralogy of the Uni- versity. > UNION CONSTITUIO ment, the myths that were spun caused throughout the North a wave of sentiment that threatened to kill Florida as a resort state.
