that all chances of a wire brace
breaking or of the motor going
wrong are removed instills conf
dence and makes the flyer devoid of
fear of the grim reaper.
"The majority of the aviators in
this country seldom construct their
cars, but depend upon the manufac-
turer to furnish them with machines
that are ready to take them into the
clouds as soon as they have obtain
ed the license. These factory aero
planes are all right providing the
owner takes them down and then re-
constructs them, testing each and
every part SO as to be able to de-
termine the exact strain the craft
can stand.
II would never advise man to
construct a machine entirely him
self, however Especially unless he
has had years of practical expert
ence in mechanics and has made a
hard study of all the angles of aVia-
ton.
Several of my compatriots have
lost their battles to the grim reap
er by giving him a big handicap.
mean by that that they have at
tempted to escape paying fees to
men holding the patent rights and
thereby have been forced to use
machine parts which were not cap
able of standing the strain. AS
result they left the ground IN Z ma
chine which was weakened before
the struggle began.
MILITARY
SACRIFICES.
IF one will look through The LIST
Of aviators killed during the last
three years he will find many names
of army and navy officers who have
offered UP their lives not in battle,
but in trial flights with United
States aeroplanes. Now, can safe
ly say that the majority of the men
killed while wearing the straps of
the service were men who were well
trained in the art of flying but who
knew little of the construction of
their mounts.
"Of course, the army officers do
not try the famous look the loop
but their accidents happened mostly
when brace gave way or their mo-
tors stopped, and this proves my
contention that preparation is more
than 50 per cent of the game.
II have too much respect for the
dead to indulge in criticism of their
faults. But Wany of the brave boys
responsible for advances in aviation
died because they were men Of
nerve who took few lessons in how
to get off the ground and met the
various dangers as they came, not
preparing for them In advance,4sys6l

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

DROBABLY nobody would suspect it-for no.
body saw Congressman viii {. Humphrey ever
crack smle-but he's humorist.
Maybe he doesn't suspect 1t himself.
He wrote his bit OF humor yesterday in the bill
he introduced in congress- asking si,25o,ooo for
the submarine postoffice building in the south end
of Seattle.
He has as much chance OF getting that bill thru
as the proverbia SNOWFALL in certain warm
climate. That's not the funniest part OF the story
at ALL
The humor of il all is that only few weeks
ago, Humphrey and his newspaper champions
swore up and down that he had nothing to do with
the purchase of that impossible site; that, atho
Humphreys friends sold the goose pond" to Uncle
Sam, he, Humphrey, was as innocent as snow
white dove of any pork barrel' politics in con-
nection with il.
OF course, being entirely Indifferent to the
transaction, it is really puzzling to learn that
Humphrey is trying to make Uncle Sam sink
another million and quarter in the same pool.
Or should we say swimming hole'
Puzzling' No, that's where Humphrey enters
in the role Of humorist
It's almost funny as when Humphrey voted
