AEROPLANING SAFER
Than AUTOMOBLNG.
George Rawson, international Aviator,
Says Freak Machines Only
Are Dangerous.
FLIGHTS ARE ALWAYS POSSIBLE

when you're turkey trotting' LOO feet
in the air in stiff gale and thousands
of little pigmies way down on the earth
are watching you. some of them laying
even odds that you'll never make a safe
landing-well, then you know the best
sensation that man can have"
George Rawson, one OF the few-score
Americans holding an International avia-
tors license, who is at present taking a
brief rest at the home of his grand
mother, Mrs. L. K. Norton. S5Ol Newark
Street, spun tales about this newest loco
motion yesterday.
The aeroplane has become as safe as
the railroad train today, according to
Rawson. Though not a fitting plaything
for children, nor safe in the hands OF
every man who can fire his furnace
without blistering his hands, yet, under
control of the man who knows his ma
chine well enough to turkey trot'' with
ii in and out among the fieecy clouds, he
said, the aeroplane is far safer than the
high-speed automobile.
Freak machines are the only real
danger to professional birdmen," Mr..
Rawson laughed There are lots OF in
ventors of freak machines looking around
for an aviator to take the first chances
with it. l once new for an inventor OF
a freak machine, who had been a bal
loonist in his younger days He was very
religious. He insisted that l take a
sixty-pound bag of sand with me and
trust to God. / thought 1 could trust
God better without that sand than with
it. Still I had to take it along
There is an inscription on Mr.. Raw
sons card. Flights under any possible
conditions" Asked to explain this. he
said that provided the wind did not blow
the atmosphere away, he could fly in
any kind of weather. He said that the
day had passed when the aeroplane was
only a new instrument for suicide: that
the better makes of machines were as
good for rough voyaging as those of a
few years ago were for trips on gentle
summer days.
