Reports of further astounding
achievements in aeronautics are now
become nearly routine stories in the
record of the worlds news. Abroad,
the general public has progressed to

laws to govern the use of the air.
Some of h most prominent bar

meeting and the possibilities of the
use of the aeroplane by criminals, its
use in time of war, and the need Of
precise determination Of claims in
civil suits in cases of trespass and
damage were discussed as present ana
every day occurrences.
The latest intrusion OF the aero
plane comes from England. In the
regular service of the Church of Eng

Church of America, there are prayers
especially read in behalf of persons in

The heads of the Church of England

This question has been placed UNI
