Decision in Supreme Court Case Ap-
plies TO Excess Under Moon Law.
Council Bluffs. Oct. 22.-The state
supreme court has handed down de-
csion Of Importance to the city Of
Council Bluffs and other cities Of Iowa
The decision In question was In case
brought by a Sioux City saloonist to
test whether the city council could le-i
gally transfer a saloon license issued
to one firm to another firm. providing
the number OF saloons in the city was
in excess Of the one to 1000 proportion
set by the Moon law. The court held
that such transfer was legal. and that
the city council by resolution was able
to make the transfer.
The opinion of the court is the same
as that held by local attorneys. and the
city council has on several occasions
made such transfer. atho the legality
has been doubtful. The decision makes
this practice legal one. and will have
the effect of preventing any great de-
crease in the number of saloons by
firms going out Of business, as In most
cases the license will be transferred.
The number of saloons in this city
is now fifty-four, being twentyfour in
excess OF the number allowed by the
Moon law All of them, however, were
in operation at the time the law was
passed

Early Retirement Of Aviators.

History has been making so rapidly
in aviation as to almost bewilder. In
no other mechanical art has there ever
been as great progress made in the
same length Of time. The steam engine
the locomotive. steamship. telegraph.
telephone, electric light and automo-
bile, each went thru period Of con-
siderable length OF time between their
point of reasonable perfection and that
OF practical utility. Aviation. like the
aeroplane itself. has 1eapt into signif1-
canoe with startling suddenness.
Perhaps no other one feature as well
emphasizes this as the fact, that al
ready men who were prominently in
the limelght only few months ago,
as the representative airmen, are al
ready falling out Of the line OF vision
OF the public eye. Some devote them
selves exclusively to CONSTITUTIONAL
work: Others fly only to try new ma
chimes of their own design: still 9TH
er. have retired after falls which have
either crippled them of taken their
nerve. Among these well known names
are Bleriot, Paulhan, Farman, the
Wright brothers. Duray. Gibbs, Roug-
Ter. somner, Singer and Rawlinson. 1t
has been said that this retirement is
largely due to the intense nerve strain
Of flying which In short time so
wrecks the strongest nerves as to rem
der a man unfit to 90 aloft under con-
ditions requiring an absolute control
of himself and instantaneous action In
emergencies. PeShaps this has been
more true in tho past than It will be
in the near future, AZ the mechanism Of
tho aeroplane becomes perfected and
possibly soIne automatic device IL Sc
cured, leaving much less to the deci-
sion and skill OF the airman-H--iH.
