Dynamite from the Skies

TT is common weakness of our human
i nature that we can work ourselves into
blue funk by coupling imagination with a
very slight possibility thereby causing much
suffering for ourselves.
Take the modern flying machine. Never
so many folk can think of it only as an engine
of war. shedding bombs like rain and blowing
the whole country into snithereens. During
the Spanish-American War summer resorts
along the Atlantic Coast were deserted be-
cause people were afraid that the poor, feeble
Spanish fleet under Cervera would devaState
the whole seaboard.
But this aeroplane bomb business seems
little more fearsome. possibly because 1t is
more mysterious. If one adds mystery to an
imaginary trouble, it will do about three
times as much work. with the consequent suf
fering. We know that the cost of one battle
ship would build five thousand aeroplanes.
and with these sailing about carrying ire
mendousy powerful bombs. where should we
be- Lots of Us are worrying ourselves sick
lodging troubles just imaginary. And
some others. having enough troubles on hand
for the present put the aeroplane bomb aside
for future worrying.
Now the very best thing to do with any
trouble is to define it, its capacity and its
limitations to get hold of it. tear it apart
analyze it. or do whatever is necessary to
find out what it really is. and. if you find it
has a bitter existence. TO fight it as best you
can Mighty few troubles will stand analysis
and commonsense.
Take this aeroplane bomb bugaboo. The
foremost expert on high explosives, who is
also a close student of flying, asked to
tell the truth about Dynamite from the
Skies" In this sense dynamite" OF course,
is meant as a generic term for all high eXplo-
sives.

act knowledge. 1t is scientific, but more in

tons is almost exciting.
That's generally the way with most trouble
propositions-the are likely to be just what
we make them. Of course if you want TO
struggle with imaginary ones. you will not
suffer SO much when the real ones come along.
1t becomes just like any other habit.
