AVIATION DEPENDS
ON BUSINESS USES,
SAIS PAWLOWSI
PROFESSOR OF AERONAUTICS
SEES RAPID INCREASE
IN AIR TRAVEL
MUCH CAPITAL IS NEEDED
Abiity to Develop High Speeds
With Safety Will Eliminate
Much Competition
"The future of aeronautics de-
pends largely upon its business pos-
sibilities," said Prof. Felix W. Paw-
lowski of the aeronautical depart-
ment of the engineering college
yesterday afternoon in one of the
Summer Session lectures in the
Natural Science auditorium.
"Furthermore the ability to at-
tain great speed with comparative
safety will lead to the development
of aviation in the future," he ad-
ded. Railway trains can not de-
velop at the present stage of en-
gineering a speed much over 701
miles per hour due to the physical
inability of the rails and road bed
to hold in place. Similarly, in ocean
traffic, although the Atlantic pas-
sage has been reduced to five and
one-half days, liners capable of
carrying many persons can not be
.so constructed to lessen by more
than a day at the most the time
required for the trip. Due to the
lesser resistance of the atmosphere,
a plane can attain high speed with
greater ease than can land and
water types of locomotion.
With more than ten years .of
commercial flying completed in
Europe, air fatalities compare fav-
orably with railroad tragedies, and
are somewhat less than those of
navigation. The recently increas-
ing number of airplane accidents is
due primarily to the fact that there
are more and more planes being;
flown.
Professor Pawlowski said that in
the United States at the present
time these necessary facilities are
greatly deficient in quantity. How-
ever, commendable efforts are
being made by the government and
cities to provide adequate airports,
and to supply the pilot with infor-
mation necessary to successful
navigation.
PRISON-BOUND BOY
ELUDES HIS FATHER
A father paced the streets of
Ann Arbor last night in search of
a 28-year-old lost son. The loss in
this particular instance is harder
to bear and exceedingly more em-
barrassing to the father than in
most cases.
William Mills, Jr., escaped from
his father, a deputy-sheriff of Sag-
inaw county, about 11:15 o'clock
Thursday morning near the Wash-
tenaw county jail, while on his way
to Jackson prison to serve a 15 to
25 year term for uttering and pub-
lishing.
The father stopped his car and
had walked to the rear of the car

he said when his prisoner escaped.
The young man's mother was in
the car at the time of the break
for freedomi.
Deputy-sheriff Mills after failing
in an attempt to overtake his son
notified the local sheriff's depart-
ment and Detroit police.
William, Jr., has been married
three times, his father said.
Circuit Drive Wins
For Faculty Team
Purden's home run in the closing
inning of the Faculty-Principal
game gave the faculty baseball
team its first win of the season in
the School of Education baseball
league. In the other game of the
day the Teachers scored a decisive
9-3 win over the Superintendents.

to promote the welfare of aviatior
was formed here Wednesday at the
closing session of the Western
States Aeronautics convention.
The new organization will be
known as the Western States Aero-
nautics association and will consist
of one delegate from each state
to be appointed by the governor.
It was provided that the membei
appointed by the governor of Idahc
should be permanent chairman of
the organization. The new organ-
.i:ation is believed to be the first of
'its kind in the country.
A supplementary resolution adopt-
ed by the convention instructed the
association to work to bring all
state aviation laws into conformity
with federal regulations with a
view to greater uniformity.
Such an organization is expected
to accomplish much in clearing up
the difficulties arising under the
present situation with aircraft reg-
ulations as widely divergent.

to Curb Proposed Tax

HAS CREDITABLE HISTORYiGOV. GREEN TAKES STAND'

It has been announced that be-r
ginning with the school year of
1929-1930 the University Schoolj
of Music will operate as a division
of the University of Michigan.
This arrangement was brought'
about by a recommendation of a
joint committee appointed by the
Board of Regents and the Direc-
tors of The University Musical So-
ciety which made a study of the
matter.
Under the terms of the amalga-
mation, members of the School of
Music, both faculty and students,
will enjoy all the priveleges and
bear all the responsibilities of
members of other schools and col-
leges of the University. They will
receive all the privileges of the
campus organizations such as the
Michigan Union and Women's
League Building, and will be able
to participate in all campus activ-
ities under the general University!
regulations governing such mat-
ters.
The University Musical Societyj
under whose single auspices the Uni-
versity School of Music has been
conducted in the past, was organiz-
ed in 1879 for the purpose of the
advancement of musical culture, not
only in the University, but in the
country at large. During the 501
years since its inception, the So-
ciety has functioned in three prin- !
cipal directions: First: It has
maintained without interruption
the University Choral Union, a
chorus of over 350 voices; in con-!
nection with its public offerings
the Society has provided many!
concerts each season by the
world's most distinguished artists
and musical organizations, includ-
ing for the past 36 consecutiive
years the annual Ann Arbor May
Festivals.
The feature of the school's work
however, includes one very notable
work. It has also maintained for
almost as many years a complete
student symphony orchestra which
has given many recitals.

$60,000 IS AT STAKE
(By Associated Press)
CHICAGO, July 12.-The mud-
dled question of three-year-old
supremacy of the season may be
still more muddled, as far as the
country's leading colts are con-
cerned, after the running of the
$60,000 American Classic at Arling-
ton Park Saturday.
The threat against the rankingI
l of Clyde Van Dusen, Blue Lark-
spur, Windy City, Dr. Freeland
and a host of other excellent colts
is Rose of Sharon, mid-western
queen of the turf. The J. N. Cam-
den filly has conclusively earned
the title of the best on mid-western
tracks, and has displayed form
enough to make her worthy of se-
rious consideration as a classic win-
ner.
The giant daughter of Light
' Brigade-Rosa Mundi smothered all
opposition in four of the leading
filly events of the middle-west-
the Latonia Oaks, Ashland Oaks,
Kentucky Oaks and Illinois Oaks-
winning the Latonia event while
carrying top weight of 126 pounds.
Saturday she will carry 116 pounds
because of her allowance for sex
and number of races won.
E. R. Bradley's Blue Larkspur

day in perfect condition and ranks
as the favorite for the country's
richest race.rThefarrival of the
Belmont and Withers stakes win-
ner, and the announcement by
