AVIATION MEETS FAIL
Financial LOSS Follows Flights
throughout Europe.

Paris, Saturday. August s.-The
failure OF most OF the aviation meets
this summer has proved great dis
appointment to promoters. After the
tremendous success OF the great meet
Ing at Rheims last year hundreds OF
meetings were organized In every
country In Europe, and even In Egypt.
Beginning with the winter meets.
along the Riviera. these meetings have
continued week alter week In almost
every large city In France. In al
most every case the results for tho
promoters have been DISASTROUS.
Even Rheims, with the prestige Of
last year and a long series OF broken
records this summer. was a financial
failure. the loss totaling 100000.
Those identified with aviation place
the blame. not upon tagging interest,
but upon the spirit OF commercialism
with which aeroplaning Is being ex-
plotted. Aeropianc flights made such a
vivid appeal to imagination that pro-
meters hung up enormous purses and
paid fat sums to secure the presence
OF the few french cracks whose ex-
ploits had astonisned the world. Men
like Paulhan, who fourteen months
ago earned $25 month as g.
mechanician. suddenly began demand
Ing and getting $4,000 to $4,000.
Every pilot, whether experienced or
not. wanted to excel his rival in SEN
sational exploits in order to get more
money, and that was the cause OF sew
eral OF the fatal accidents which have
marred the meetings
Ahe impression in France is that
next year there Will not be one meet
Ing where there were thirty this year.
Those interested in the development
of aviation. however. believe this Will
be an advantage rather than draw
back It will. they think, tend to.
check the recklessness OF profess
sionals and compel manufactures TO
devote themselves to the perform
ances of machines within safety limits.
Already they realize that the future
OF the aeroplanes is In their prac-
'tical utility and not in their employ
ment in sporting exhibitions. and that
the improvements must be along these
lines.
