PRoGRFss OF AVIArIoN.

Statistics prepared by a Paris au-
thority indicate that the popular es-
innate Of the cost OF aviation in hu-
man life is exaggerated. though the
death rate is still high compared with
other dangerous occupations. Since
1908 there has been a remarkable de-
crease in mortality due to accidents.
Another interesting and significant
thing revealed by these statistics is
the rapid increase in the number Of
aviatOrs. Compared with this inc
rease the proposition of deaths by &C
cident has reached a small percent
age. From fine aviators. a total Of
$500 kilometers flown and one death
in 1908 the proportion OF deaths was
by 1912 reduced TO 40 for $500 avi-
ators who flew over total distance
OF twenty million kilometers.
This gives the average of one death
for every 1900 kilometers in 1908
and death for every 10000 kilo-
meters in 1912. The progress in the
science OF aerial navigation is appar-
ent. Experience and inventive genius
are gradually reducing it to the safe
~ plane OF surface transportation,
and we may confidently anticipate
that ir few years one will step into
a lying machine with the same as
surance and confidence that he now
snters railroad train or trolley car
boards steamship or rides in an au-
tomObile.
Stability is the thing 10 be attained
The operation OF the heavier than
air machine and the nature of the air
currents are we'll understood. The
former has reached the marvellous in
the stunts performed by experts and
the influences of the latter on the
machine are known. strength and
steadiness must be added.
Just now italy is entering the lists
with a non-capSizable aeroplane. II

equilibrators are attached Co the body

same direction are being made in this
country We cannot doubt that at
least the steadiness OF q boat i'm water

comphshec ali but the extraordinary
dangers Of aerial navigation will have
been overcome

swerable. We hope you will write 10
him for copy and study it carefully

pies. note these high points.
For both kilograms and messages
by phone We pay the highest rates
in the world. and our service is the
worst.
Paying from % cents 10 a dollar
for 10 words by telegraph we average
only one telegram and a tenth a
year. whereas in New Zealand. with
its cent-a-word rate, the average is
eight kilograms per capita a year
private monopoly cheats itself as well
as the public by its greed.
Phone rates are even worse. The
public is charged six-sevenths as
much for long distance service as the
railroads charge for hauling a ton of
freight over a right of way many
times as expensive to INSTALL main
tain and operate. We pay six times
as much for equal service as Ger
mans pay. Our local phone rates
average twice as high as those in con
tinentaI European cities, and the ser
vice is no better.
AS 10 efficiency. Uncle Sans postal
service ranks second in the worlds
list crowding Belgium's; but among
the telephone systems OF 16 countries
that OF the Bell system ranks ninth.
Not only is private ownership ex-
pensive; it is also inefficient. It's cry
that Uncle Sam couldn't do the job
as we'll is a false cry which only those
believe who haven't investigated.

is there for delaying taking the wire
business over. or 50 much Of it as is
worth while?
Lewis shows moreover it can be
done at about twice the cost Of the

pay the interest charge and retire

That's what I've tried to do-to

But, Helen, L believe you would re-

A faint flush crept into Helen's
face and the tears sprang to her eyes.
There, there, daughter, you know
I don't want TO hurt you. know
that was a hard thing to say. But
you asked me if you had made any

Then you believe that I have? And

Her father shook his head sadly.
"My dear, many women before you
have made that same cry. That is
one Of the hardest lessons a wife has
to learn. Some never learn it-but

TATESMEN
REAL AND NEAR
BY FRED c. KELLY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. Sen.
John Sharp Williams OF Mississippi
has bright young son who Is is ana
apaee with all the latest things in
nifty apparel. one OF the young man
favorite sartorial devices is modish
little green velour hat with a bow at
tached aft. and a bare suggestion or
brim-one of those hats such as
have lately swept over almost the en-
tire country, ignoring state lines and
social barriers. The Williamses had
allowed the hat to come into the
house and when not in use IL was
likely to be found Turing cOntented-
~ on the ratrack along with the rest
of the hats.
Now, Sen. Williams is VIGOROUSLY
absent-minded and never knows what
hat he is picking dp when he starts
out of the house. He is lucky If he
rememb ers to put on any hat at all.
I The one he really aims 10 wear,
though. is statesman-like old SLOUGH
hat OF the type congressman have
worn in the cartOOnists' drawings
ever since we have had congressman.
That is the only hat he looks natural
in.
one morning he started away in a
hurry and you can guess, maybe,
/ what happened.
When he entered the senate wing
of the capitol, two cOlOred employees
who were passing took one look and
! burst right out into hearty laughs.

That night when he got home he

Admiral Robert f. Peary, the north
pole man. is often seen lately going
about the streets of Washington
wearing a big overcoat
There would be nothing astonish-
ing about that except for the fact
that until this winter Peary rarely if
ever wore an OvercOat when walking.
For the first year or two after he re-
turned from the Arctic regions he
couldn't bring himself TO bundle up
in an OVercOat in so mild a climate
as this. IT was not only that he didn't
feel the need of it. but he liked the
physical freedom of being OvercOat-
less. But everybody he met remark
ed to him:
II see you haven't on any overcoat.
II suppose the winters here do seem
dreadfully hot to you"
After you've had the same remark
made to you a few thousand times,
you naturally get tired hearing it, and
are willing TO put on or take oc al
most anything that will change your
luck.
So Peary now puts on an overcoat
just like anybody else.
Statesmen have their little vanities,
much the same as prima donnas.

into a barber shop the other day and
while there the barber squirted a lot
OF perfumery on him. 1t was a par
ticularly aromatic brand Of perfume

Within an hour after he emerged
from the barber shop, Sen. Lewis had
a call from a cOlOred man.
All the time they were talking, the
visitor kept looking about him and
wrinkling up his face as if greatly dis
