EVERYBODY TO USE AIRSHIPS
Moissant Says Flying Is Easy and
That Planes Will Soon Be As
Numerous As Autos.

New York.-John B. Moissant,
American aviator, declares that learn,
ing to guide an aeroplane is about as
easy as learning to ride a bicycle or
to walk stills.
There is no great mystery or great
difficulty about operating an aero
plane" he said. Everybody will real
ize this very soon.
THE next generation will use aero
planes as we are now using automo-
biies. The perfection of the flying
machine from now on will be very
rapid and it's perils will be found 10
be no greater than the perils of burst
ing tires and skidding wheels and
faulty automobile mechanisms.
Every person who makes a flight
in an aeroplane comes back to earth
with the same impressions. He tells
you that it was a delightful expert
ence; that it was something new, he
was not bit scared, and he is crazy
to do 1t again. That tells the whole

a shotgun would bring a dozen police
