three or four years ago the death OF
n Of the pioneers of aviation, such
as G. 8. Rolls, at Bournemouth, or Del
agrange, In France, was an event that
aroused the greatest interest far and
wide.
This lessening OF general Interest In
aviation accidents is due to two causes
firstly. the great progress that avia-
ton has made in a few years: and,
secondly. the melancholy fact that
aviation fatalities have become SO fire.

ton made by his Republican prede-

That administrations have given the

DR. JOHN 6. LYON
SPEAKS TO MEN.

Rev De John S. Lyon, pastor of the
Second Baptist church, of Holyoke.
Mass, gave an interesting talk re-
Gently on the church and its purposes
and the reasons why men are not more
ent day.
He urged more meetings of the men
OF the church, stating that the only
thought of the men in the church at
the present time was the payment of
the bills, the saving of souls not being
taken into consideration. He said that
the parents of the young people should
cooperate with the church regarding
the marriage of their sons and daugh-
tiers, and that he believed that the
parents should pick out the young ladv
Tor the young man and the young man
Tor the young lady. The young people
should not be left to select their own
htemates, he said. One room of the
church should be fitted up, said the
speaker, like a room in a home, where
young people might go and familiarize
ton for marriage.
, He spoke of the great industries all
over the country and of the number of
foreigners who are doing the work in
most OF the factories. Because OF the
tact that most of the work is being
done by these foreigners, and the
Americans do not have to work, the
latter are becoming lazy. The foreign
ers have done most of the work from
the house kitchen to the construction
OF the Panama canal, it was brought
out, and the American people seem
perfectly willing to have them do it.
The average American does not get
more than two-thirds out of himself,
that he ought to. In 20 years from
now, said the speaker, certain brain
cells viii have been thoroughly deyei-
oped that have not yet been touched.
In speaking further of the foreign
ers doing the work in this country he
spoke of the immigration laws and the
apparent opposition to immi grants by
the majority of people. Still, he said,
manufacturers are actually bidding for
help from other countries, to come here
and do the work, with the result that
most of the trades of the American
nave been learned by outsiders, and
the waters around South America are
dotted with ships owned by foreign
countries There has been apparently
no move to stop this, as Americans
nave become lazy and Indifferent.
Touching on the question of social
ism the speaker mentioned the rapid
gain in strength of this political body.
The Industrial Workers of the
World came in for strong and sharp
criticism on the part of DR.. Lyon. He
said that this organization was the
most disastrous and threatening move
ment since the French revolution. He
said: u believe that we shall have to
stand BY the American Federation of
