Aviation Meets q
in France Have
Caused Big Loss
Promoters Get Small Crowds to
Watch High-Salaried Men Per-
form in the Air.

PARIS, Aug. l5.-The failure OF most OF
the aviation meetings this summer has
proved a great disappointment to pro-
moters. After the tremendous success OF
the great meeting at Rheims last year
hundreds Of meetings we're organised in
every country in Europe and even in
Egypt Beginning with the winter meets
along the Rivera, these meetings have con-
tinued week after week In almost every
large city in France. In almost every case
the results for the promoters have been
disastrous. rrtf
Even Rheims, with the prestige OF last
year and long series Of broken records
this summer, was financial failure. the
loss totaling $4,000. Those identified with
aviation place the blame upon the spirit
OF commercialism with which aeroplanlns
is being exploited. Aeroplane flights made
such a vivid appeal to the imagination that
promoters hung up enormous purses and
paid fabulous sums to secure the presenos
of the few French cracks whose exploits
had astonished the world. Men like Paul
ham, who fourteen months ago had earned
SOS q month as mechanicians, suddenly
began demanding and getting from fl5.OO'
to $4,000. Every pilot whether experienced
or not, wanted to excel his rival in sensa'
tional exploits in order to get more money
and that was the cause Of several OF th'
fatal accidents which have marred this
meetings.
The Impression In France. is that mex
year there will not be one meeting where
there were thirty this year. Those inter
ested in the real development OF aviation
however, believe this will be an advantage
rather than a drawback 1t will, they
think, tend to check the recklessness o.
professionals and compel manufacturers t.
devote themselves to the perfection of theii
machines.
