that airsi ckness will be worse. Most
nersons again. have experienced the
i1npleasant feeling in a lift when IL
commences its descent or IN SWlng
when like the pendulum, it swlngSbacK.
Not a few people refuse TO stand close
To the edge of cliff or TO trust them
selves TO look down inc vast chaSm
of snace immediate ~ beneath their
feet owing to vague feelings of glddl-
ness. fears of fallings arising out OF
sense of a jeopardized equilibrium.
And vet these same people converse
gibly about the nearness OF the uay
when aero traffic will be an accom-
plished fact and point IN support OF
their view TO the enormously rapid al
vances which motor traffic IN the streets
has made. When the question rs care
fully considered in detail il will be con
ceded that there is hardly anything
that is comparable between the air mo
tor and the land motor from the point
of view of attaining practical success.
The problem in the case of the for

ment. the conquest of that great force
which. do what we will. pulls back 10
earth the moment we dare to rise from
