How much do you know about the planes you fly in, and how they are guided from city to city? What do you know about weather, and how your pilot copes with it?

Here are answers to some of the questions that occur to almost every air traveler. They were compiled by Eastern Air Lines, which found that passengers have a lively interest in all kinds of flight operations.

THE War Department has approved plans for the construction of a $12,000,000 vehicular toll bridge over the mighty Mississippi River at New Orleans. Actual construction will start this summer and the engineers estimate that two years will be required to complete the project. The Hero-Hackett Bridge, as it is called, will be the only bridge of its type in the world and while the roadway will be 120 feet above the level of the flat New Orleans streets, no long inclined approaches will be required to reach the bridge.

You can get money in the most unlikely places today, but you’d better beware, brother!

You’re buying trouble with that “personalized small loan” whether you get it over or under the counter. You were broke when you started after it. But you may end up with broken limbs, or even dead in the gutter!

Conveyor Speeds Shoeshine

CONSISTING of a rotary conveyor seating eight persons and an elevated platform with steps for ascending and descending, a new shoeshining service unit has made its appearance in St. Louis, Mo. Better and quicker shines are said to be provided through use of the unit.

After mounting a seat from the ascending side of the platform, the customer is slowly-conveyed past six attendants who stand behind the machine and successively perform the various shining operations. An electric motor powers the conveyor.
