A Plea is Made for More
Cautious and Sane Awahon

If aviation is going to be of any
use, if it is to become factor in civil
lization. it must be made safe.
'Elated by his first success, man
has grown overconfident and become
emboldened to attempt things that are
beyond his present ability. We don't
understand perfectly the capabilities
and limitations Of the frail craft We
have built to navigate the air and
have presumed too much upon their
strength.
''In 1910 the world marvelled at
what aviators. did. In 1911 let it be
shown what they can do safely. Let
all the skill and the ability expend-
ed during 1910 in producing spectacu-
lar effects be expended this year in
useful results. Let accidents in 1911
be rare as they were common at the
close of 1910.'

New FORK, Jan. "A plea for more
cautious and sane aviation comes
from Cortlandt Field Bishop, former
president of the Aero Club of America
and now vice-president Of that organl-
zation. as a result of the fatal acci-
dents which have marred the history
OF the aeroplane during the closing
days of 1910. Says Mr.. Bishop: The
progress of aviation during 1910 was
phenomenal. but how many OF those
VINO contributed to it yielded their
lives: The three Americans who ex-
celled all others By their feats at Bel
mont park have met their deaths in
the sixty days that have elapsed since
the close Of the International meet
ing. Doubtless personal rivalry and
the great pecuniary rewards formed
the incentive for the efforts that re-
quilted SO disastrously.
