Could Garry Explosives.
The advance of the aeroplane has
been conclusively proved by the fact
that the other day Bleriot carried eight
people. That shows that a quantity OF
explosives could be carried if the nee es-
sity arose.
The money that is being spent on
dirigibles at the present time is, i'm my
opinion. a waste of money. Dirigibles
are too unwieldy and unmanageable un-
der all circumstances. The difficulties OF
keeping a dirigible up in a wind are con-
siderable. and then again so many men
are wanted to hold it down when it
lands that 1t is impossible to move suf-
ficient men about.
Although much, is being done in the
direction of perfecting the aeroplane. our
danger is that we have not got sufficient
men trained In their use. The Royal
Aero Club has been doing what it could
in this direction by passing pilots from
the army and navy and giving them GER
tificates. but official action must come
sooner OF later"

Washington Clubs Response.
The Washington Aero Club has replied
to the national council that 1t would like
a meet date reserved for Washington as
early in the season as possible, when
tho weather is at its best and while Con-
gress Is still here in extra session.
Glenn Curtiss has already arranged
with the National Aviation Company to
give a meet here early i'm April or May

transmitted to the national council so
that any records made can be registered
