AIRPORTFACILiTE Distance of Landing Fields Fron Center of Cities is, Main Trouble. ST. PAUL FIELD LAUDED Practical Value of Airplane in Future Will Be for Long Flights.' "Air port facilities throughout the country are very poor, because of the distance of the landing fields' from business centers of the cities" said Prof. Frank N. M. Brown, of the engineering aeronautical de- partment, who traveled 5,000 miles in the Ford tri-motor plane which took part in the Fifth National 'Air Tour for the Edsel Ford trophy. "The Chicago air port is an ex- ample of the existing conditions" he said "for after landing it took three hours to reach the hotel. St. Paul has the only air port of any practical value, and here the hotel was reached eight minutes after landing. The same trouble was encounter- ed in Toronto as in Chicago, ac- cording to Professor drown, and the pilots were forced to spend four hours in heavy traffic before reach- city.- In speaking of the future of the airplane Professor Brown mention- ed that at present the practical, value of theairplane is to'be found I only in long distance flights. He' believes there is little possibility that the airplane will take the place of the automobile for short I trips. One of Professor Brown's pur- poses in making the trip was to in- vestigate flying over unchartered routes, and in speaking of this he mentioned that all pilots found it easy with the assistance of good maps.{ "The only bad weather encount- ered," he- added, "was between Chi- cago and Detroit when all were 'forced to fly less than a hundred feet from the ground to avoid a storm which was raging above." Professor Brown was in the plane piloted by Myron E. Zeller who fin- ished third. Mr. Zeller was former- ly an engineering student at Mich- igan. He is at present chief testing I pilot for the Ford Motor Company.
