Prediction That the Winged sur6Iar

New York.-Now that aeroplane

chine for anybody at catalogue prices
and skilled pilots are counted by the
score and multiply from month to
month. those who have watched the
growth OF aviation most closely are
specializing upon the probable appear.
ance OF the aeroplane burglar. or sky
pirate" as he might be called. He
Is not likely to be long in coming.
once the noise Of the aerial motor
can be suppressed.
The aeroplane's best friends have
to own that its very virtues fit 1t for
career Of crime. It goes fast and
far, 1t leaves no track behind, 1t can
escape from any pursuer except one
OF Its own kin. and even then a chase
would be most uncertain one. Worst
OF all. II the birdman is minded rather
like a vulture than like an eagle he
can strike his prey in its most vul-
nerable part. The easiest access to a
locked house is to be had from over
head. as any city dweller can see for
himself II he will 60 up and look at
the door In his own roof.
A hinge Of strap iron. or at best an
iron bar, fastened with paddock that
would yield like paper to a skilfully

Is the usual route OF the robber of
houses, and 1t Is only the diff
fculty Of reaching 1t that keeps such
crimes from being far more common
han they are.
Only one step more in aviation Is
needed to make the aeroplane the
burglars mount. 1t must be made to
light upon a restricted space, such as
he roof Of house. and to go up
rom the same spot without difficulty.
When that time has come 1t is easy
o forecast what is likely to happen.
First the police will hear frequent
complaints that vacant houses have
