Prof. R. e.. kimmel, or the local n'sh
school and an army aviator. and Mt
D. w. Church. a we'll known business
man Of the city. were the speakers

Mr.. Kimmcl spoke as follows:
Flying when practiced soon has the
thrill taken out OF II much as nuto
driving does. In the army after thrse
flying field and practice with Il Tying
instructor. A good flyer can make
you like it nj ancc and poor one
can make you dread it as easily. OF
not afraid but have u feeling. Of OK.
prriencing something new. You trci
ike shouting with the exhilirating buoy
ant feeling Of the flight.
After the dual instruction stage
YOU reach the solo stage. or flying alone:
the motor off. so II for any reason
your motor unexpectedly stops. you will
easily be- master of the situation. no
matter what height you are ut. Aftcr
where you are taught to manipulate
loop the loops and banking all or
which is done by manipulating the legs
and kicking tho ruddcr from one side
to the other. Flying is perfectly sim
pie. It takes no hero TO fly. You just
use common sense for everything. only
eight died of accidents Of all the hun
dreds who were flying al our camp AT
Richhcld. Waco. Texas. and these were
due To carclessncss too near the ground.
II have been up $500 feet. If there

up at this height. especially II the
lond view is shut off by clouds below.
The sense Of aloncncss is almost over
towering and you feel pretty near 10
Tho use of the flying machine IN
tho Immediate future will NOT be FOR
commercial hut for pleasure purposes,
for the simple reason that It taxes
twenty-five gallons Of gasoline for cf-
cry two hours operation. and sixteen
quarts of oil must be drained off and
REPLACED by new every six hours. Be
side It always takes an experienced
mechanic Ia repair the machine. AR
craft will likely never replace the auto
ever. the simplest controls imaginable,
There are no gears. speed or traffic
laws to worry about. and the road runs
everywhere in the air.
Looping the loop is the simplest OPP
back and nose the machine up and It
can't do anything but turn over evenly
and mcthodically. Air pockets are not
dangerous if You just let the machine
work its own way out Of them"
Mr.. Church said
"IIavc you NOTICED the returned SOL
der and sailor boys talking. more than
often dejcctedly. in groups Of two or
three on the streets Of WhAecng" 40
tell you Those boys have the ground
taken out from in under tncr:, we
sent them away with bands playing a
few months ago. They gave up every
thing to fight for us who did not go.
They expected TO make careers as, sol
signed. They had to give it, all up and
have returned TO their home city
licked by the situation and many or
them cannot get their jobs back for
one reason or another.
Our citizens who. sent them away
with great cclat do nor now even step
up and offer tho friendly hand and en-
Guirc If matters are working out Tor
them In a civilian way Is It right;
Of ihc ImmnnHcl Isartisi Sunday Morn

tary and other clubs could do NO finer
hit Of work than 10 practice tho hand
shake and the friendly inquiry with
in Tho late war. Many OF them are
nj this moment den"ndcnt on friends for
money. Either thr state or the ma
ton should grant Il cash bonus for
six months to each Of these johlcss
boys until they get their proper civilian
adjustment"
