DEATH ~ TIE LIP

The roll Of deaths In flying lengthens
steadily and probably at an increasing
ratio. but does not apparently diminish
the zeal and the temerity Of new aspir-
ants TO fight. More than n hundred
names are now on the death list. and
these include those Of some of the most
careful and expert scientific experiment
ers When we take into account the
short time in which attempts at aviation
have been practised and I'm which. there
fore. the list has been growing, and the
small number of persons who have on
gagged in it, the total is appalling II
must far exceed. proportonately. that of
deaths in motor racing or any other com
parable occupation
France leads the list, we arc told. with
thirty-seyen Of the 101 deaths down TO
Thursday last. as was to be expected. in
view of the number Of aviators in that
country and the ambitious abandonment
with which many Of them have embarked
on their perilOus ventures. The United
States, with seventeen. has second place
on the unenviable roll. Whether this is
because Of the number Of Americans who
have undertaken 10 fly. or the daring Of
their ventures, or conditions of topog-
raphy and meteorology In this country.
Is not declared. In some Of the tragedies
here. however. morals and warnings have
been unmistakably pointed. There has
been some recklessness, there have been
too many efforts 10 display daring and
dangerous tricks and there has also been
indulgence in performances which could
not he of practical utility. but were
merely sensa tional or gratifying to n per
verted passion for adventure.
The art of aerial navigation. in both
lichter-than-air and heavier-than-alr ma =
chimes, will doubtless be further de-
veloped and prove Of practical and I'M

ALDRTCH PLAN MODTFICA1IONS'

AIDRTCH Plan MtDff Al iO'"'
The notifications in the Aldrich plan
of banking reform for the most par I'M
prove and strengthen II. The possibility
of the proposed Reserve Association
passing into the control of any group
of fnanclers or the representatives of
any interest or locality IS further
guarded against by the restrictions on
the representation Of localities In Its di-
rectorate and in its executive commit
tee. and the desirability of its control 10
the speculative interests is lessened by
the prohibition against discOunting notes
drawn for the purpose of carrying stocks
or bonds.
The plan is also changed TO the extent
of admitting state banks and trust com
panies TO membership in the association
while retaining their state charters. The
influence Of the national banks is seen
in the terms offered TO state banks and
trust companies, those eligible being re-
ouired 10 maintain the same reserves
that are required Of national banks in
their locality. To what degree state
banking institutions would avail them
selves of membership on these terms re

eclipse on April 2s and the second an annu-
