u. S. PLANES
ON INCREASE
IN S. AMERICA
European Models Have
Controlled Field
Over Long Period
But Fall Off Now
. By ITAL WALKER
Correspondent)
™ »OS AIRES. Oct. 25.-<AV-
he Lmted States aircraft industry
vigorous and effective methods
won an important place in
Latin America's expanding market
tor airplanes.
Aviators sent to Argentine for the
purpose of demonstrating machines
or Lnited States manufacture have
Rftintd considerable goodwill and
made progress in various South
American countries. A a result of
their work with passenger and com-
bat planes civilian military ard gov-
ernmental leaders have developed a
keen interest in air products from
t"* .northern continent.
Within a short time after the war.
European aircraft salesmen went
I nil over South America contracting
lor the sale of planes which had
been used in combat or which were
nearing completion. As a result of
thia work practically every country
became more or less stocked with
European air equipment for their
armies and navies and it is only
within comparatively recent months
that planes from the United States
had any show south of the Rip
Grande.
However at the present time Bra-
zil Argentina Chile. Peru and Bo-
livia are ail more interested appar-
ently in American than in European
commercial and fighting planes. The
American flier Doolittle's stunt fly-
ing in various countries in recent
months has aroused favorable com-
ments in air circles of Chile Ar- j
gentina and Brazil. Or.e flight was
from Asuncion to Rio de Janeiro
hundreds ot miles over almost vir-
gin forest where not a human being
was seen the first time any avi-
ator had attempted such a flight
here.
The recent extract signed by the
Argentine government in the United
States for armed planes is believed
by observers here to be only the
first of such contracts from South
America. British planes in the past
have been used in Chile ar.d French
in Brasil and Argentina.
There is a French army mission
in Brazil training the Brazilian
army as the United States naval
mission works with the navy so
that to place American planes in
the Brazilian land forces seems a
difficult proposition. Both Argen-
tina and Brazil are and always have
been closer to tho Latin countries
of Europe than to the United States
and the South Atlantic flights of
De Pinedo Costes and Le Brix. am.
Ferrarin and Del Prete did much to
foster an appreciation for continent-
al planes of the latest models.
C. W. Webster rales manager of
Curtiss Aeroplane Export Corpora-
tion first made a trip in 1919. and
t has made several trips since with
v aviators demonstrating planes. Mr.
s Webster believes that the American
» plane will eventually be tho sort
used in the armies and navies ot
South America “but it is now and
* will be in the future a hard fight
against the entrenchments of Euro- •
pean makers” he admits.
Captain Ralph O’Neill was here
recently studying the possibilities
of linking Buenos Aires and other
east coast cities with New York by
air mail as a French company links
them with Paris and London by
plane and steamer. Doolittle. W ade
and McMullen working with Webster
have been demonstrating primarily
combat rlanes to the armies ar.d
navies on this continent but have
also brought to the attention o.
civilian authorities the possibilities
of commerc.il route* and mail route?
like those in the United States ar.d
whch these countries lack entirely.

Texas Girl in
Health Tests
Millions of boys and girl? all over
:he world thousands of them right
tere in Texas are being restored to
~.ealth and strength by the purely
vegetable tonic and laxative known
is California Fig Syrup and endorsed
>y physicians for over 50 years.
Children need no urging to take it.
rhey love its rich fruity flavor.
S’othing can compete with it as a<
rentle but certain laxative and it
toes further than this. It gives tone
ind strength to the stomsch and
lowels so these organs continue to
ict normally of their own accord. It
timulates the appetite helps diges-
"ion.
A Texas mother. Mrs. W. H. Shel-

ays: “Mary is absolutely the picture
>f herlth. now. with her ruddy
heeks bright eyes and plump but
rraceful little body and she stands
it the top in every health test.
“Much of the credit for her perfect
ondition is due to California Fig
iyrup. We have used it since baby-
lood to keep her bowels active dur-
ng colds or any children's ailments
md she has always had an easy time
nth them. She always responds to
ts gentle urging and is quickly hack
o normal.”
Ask your druggist for California
*ig Syrup and look for the word
California” on the carton so you'll
ilways get the genuine.
APPEALS FOR MARKET
FOR HIGH GRADE OIL
DALLAS Oct. 25.—(j?*!—The plea
of George A. Henshtw. Jr. president
of the Henshaw Oil corporation that
proration schedules for production of
oil in Howard and Glasscock coun-
ties should be revised to release more
of the unusually high grade oil which
he is producing has been taken under
advisement by the state railroad com-
mission.
Henshaw appeared before the com-
mission here last night and asserted
that although he had discovered oil
of a finer grade than that in sur-
rounding fields he was unable to
obtain contracts for his product be-
cause refineries demanded larger
quotas than he w-.s able to furnish
under the present proration ruling.
