THERE. IS REASON
 FOR EVERY ACCIDENT
 TO FLYING CORPS

DALLAS, Texas, May S.-There is a reason for every aviation accident Sometimes, it is an obvious one; but too often only the dead flyer ever knew just what sent his ma chine crashing to the ground.
 Up to the middle of April there had been S6 fatalities in the six Tex as aviation camps and in many of the accidents in man or material had developed high in the air Fort Worth with it's three aviation fields and it's preponderance of flyers un- der the British officers in the Royal Flying Corps had 49 deaths up to
 April IT; Houston was next with 16 Crashes may be due to misappli cation of rules, unfamiliarity with peculiar aerial conditions, faulty ma terial in the airplane, sudden fright seizing the aviator or mere reckless ness.
 In flying there are no brakes tC apply. The pilot must be alert and ready for any emergency plane
 just leaving the field has the ad vantage over a plane about to land
 in an impending disaster. The land ing plane is going much faster than
 the one just "revved up" The pilot just starting up must be careful
 not to misjudge his start and thus be overtaken by plane that is pewerless to avoid the crash.

-Four Minute Talks
BY william ii. Bawden
JEWISH RELIEF

Life nowadays seems to consist
of just one drive after another. Yet
we cannot afford to be weary in well
doing. Stories of heroism keep COM
ing from across the sea, telling of the
incredibly long hours of service Inn
of battle. Many Is the day when
they return from their appointed
tasks 'all in" Nevertheless, on the
morrow, whether rested or not, they
cheerfully take up their work. Just
as likely 1t may be work or fight all
night, and on into the next day. The
first complaints must come from
them. not from US, and 1t is signih-
cant hat none has come as yet.
We have hardly caught our breath
from the last campaign, in behalf Of
War Savings Stamps, when now 1t is
for the relief of the Jewish sufferers
and for army work among tina peo-
pie. Next 1t will be another Y. M. @.
A. campaign, or perhaps the next
Liberty Loan campaign may precede
this. Yet we must not become
wearied. This is our front, the home
front. and we must keep 1t intact
from n and every assault of the
enemy. II he can only weary the
spirit OF those at home, he knows
full well how quickly that spirit will
be reflected in the lessened morale Of
our men on the firing line. We seem
to have the enemy on the go; let US
keep him on the run, both at home
and abroad. =
Then the Jewish Relief Work is
worthy of our support at any rate,
wholly apart from its being a part
of the war program. In all their
history the Jewish people have cared
for their own, at the same time not
closing the ear to the cry of the
needy elsewhere. But seldom have
they been called upon to minister to
80 many and In such dire distress as
at the present tms. The need Ia
appalling, and cannot be pictured In
too strong colors nor emphasized too
much. The trouble Is that we are In
danger of becoming Injured to the
sight and sound of the terrible suffer-
ings experienced by the millions
across the water. Up to a certain
point the pain from a burn Is in
tense. After that point has been
reached Its very intensity causes q
that relieves the pain. So
II IL likely to be, unless we keep
sympathies alive.

Garbage Plant Superintendent
Is Indicted by Grand Jury
Federal Government May Take Over
Plant or City May Return to Old
Method.

Federal Government May Take Over
PLANT or City May Return to Old
Method.
By special Corr sspondent
TOTTENILLE, July 2o-The fight
to abate the nuisane at the garbage
plant or to have the plant removed
from Staten Island, took on a different
turn yesterday when at an executive
session of the Board of Estimate. 1t
was decided to ask the United States
government to take over the plant.
William P. Burr, corporation coun-
sci, who was asked for an opinion
some time ago as to the legality of the
contract between the city of New York
n Metropolitan By-Products Com
pany, said II the federal authorities
declined to operate the plant during
the war period the city would proba-
bly, return to its former plan for hav-
ing city garbage carried out and
dumped at sea. This, he said, would
be an enormous waste and he believ-
ed that the government would take
owe the plant and operate 1t rather
than lose the ~by-products that can be
obtained by the present method of
treatment.
It was announced last night that a
committee of five was named by May
OF Hylan at the executive session to
confer with the federal authorities on
the question of taking yer the gar
bage plant. Mayor Hylan Is chairman
Of the committee. The other members
of the committee are Corporation
Counsel William P. Burr, Comptroller
Charles L. Craig, DR.. Royal S. Cope
land, commissioner of health and Ar
mold MacStay, commissioner of
street cleaning.
The Richmond grand jury that has
been investigating the garbage nuis-
ance, yesterday indicted Frederick
Jeffries, superintendent of the garbage
plant. The Indictment charges that
he fails to operate the plant efficiently
and has allowed 1t to become a public
nuisance. A committee of the grand
Jury, of which e.. Stewart Taxter is
the foreman, visited the plant yester-
day and found nine barges tied up at
the piers. A report made by Thomas
Horton, an engineer Of the State
Board of Health, vas read to the
grand jury. This report made at the
request of Governor Whitman stated
hat the plant is a nuisance, danger
u to health.
