Speed and the Airship.

Travelling from Dayton to Detroit
In two hours Is going some" Major
Smith did II the other day on an air
plane and carried a passenger with
him. Does anyone doubt that n device
which makes possible such comet
like trip will be permitted to fall into
dlsuse after It has served Its purpose
In the WARP The thing which the
world wants most just now is peace.
Next to peace the chief desire Of man.
kind centers upon speed. If the mir
plane had nothing more thnn Its
speed to commend It, we might be
sure that It would be pressed into
use for passenger traffic. Since 1t has
been demonstrated that aircraft may
be made as comfortable and as safe
as cars which are hauled upon tracks
and ships that sail the seas, we may
be sure that the day Is not far dis.
tant when "the squadrons of the
skies" will be utilized for pleasure
