Air Craft Accidents.
Maj. RenarG, of the French army,
who has been making a study of aero
plane accidents and their causes, has
reached some interesting conclusions.

that % percent were due to the lack
of natural aptitude on the part OF the
pilots Thirteen percent were due to
Insufficient instruction, percent to
the excessive daring of the airmen and
g percent to their imprudence and
carelessness. Thirteen percent are laid
to the faulty construction of the ma

Taxes Are BurdensOrae.
Henry Beranger. the French senator
representing Guadaloupe the French
island colony in the Lesser Antilles
group in the Atlantic, has issued pub
lie appeal in behalf of that island,
which he has just visited. Senator
Beranger fOrsees a great industrial
and agricultural future for Guadaioupe,
but he declares that the island is now
too heavily burdened with taxes He
points out that in the last 10 years the
population has increased from $50 600
TO 100000 and Guadalupe has main
tanned her output of sugar, the coffee
production has tripled and the produc-
ton of fruit flavorings has steadily
mounted.
What Guadalupe needs, says sena-
tor Beranger, is a chance to work by
herself and for herself. She needs to
be freed from excessive taxes levied by
the mother country and the great va
rlety of fiscal charges which stifle the
efforts of planters and fishermen and
which together constitute a burden
which discourages the admirable en-
thusiasm of the islanders to develop
INTO a successful and brilliant colony
