NEW PERIL OF AVIATION
Collisions in the Air May Cause Fatal
Accidents

In ninety-nine cases out Of hundred,
according to noted aviator, pilot only
realizes he is going to crash about five
seconds before the actual event
There are three great causes of crashes
the failure of the man, the failure of the
engine and the failure of the machine. The
first is by far the most frequent, or. the
human element is always liable to add
danger to the safest exploits, and in fly
ing it often causes fatal accidents. 1t is
not SO much the physical failure of man
in fainting fit, or sudden attack OF sick
ness, as error of judgment and over-eon-
dence that so often cause disaster
The largest number of accidents are
caused in landing, as it is there that the
great skill of flying lies. The pilot has to
touch the ground at speed of 40 or 90
miles an hour, and if he does not do it
carefully he is liable to have a severe
smash
Again, he may get off the ground and
start to turn and climb at the same time,
thus losing SO much speed that the
machine sideslips to the ground. This is
one of the commonest of accidents and Is
very fatal The arman may have done
this climbing turn a hundred times, but
the day comes when he is over-confdent
or careless and does not allow himself
enough speed Less than a minute after
he leaves the ground he lies in a splintered
wreck of wood and wire.
Again, an airman may dive very steeply
at great speed and then carelessly pull
the stick with such jerk that the tai
breaks off, and the machine and pilot droI
to the ground like stone That ane
similar accidents are cases of man failure
and happen through over-conidence anc
through putting too much trust in the
machine
Engine failure compels the airman Il
land at once. He has to choose quickly {
landing ground and it very often happens
there are no fiat fields within gliding dis
lance of the machine, and so it has to b
landed on bad ground and is crashed.
The nearer to the earth the machine i
when the engine fails the greater is TIN
danger, as the pilot has less choice OF land
ing ground. If the engine stops when tn
machine is very low, it is possible tina
it will crash into house or a tree, thu
causing fatal accident.

FEARS SHORTAGE
OF AMERICAN OIL
Only Four Months Supply In Storage
Campaign of Thrift in Oil Urged
Should Enter Foreign Fields.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-America, |
with only four months supply of oil
in storage, faces the prospect of hav-
ing to seek oil from foreign sources
which are now showing tendency to
exclude the United States from pur
chasing from their fields according
TO Van H. Manning, United States di-
rector Of mines, in a paper read here
today before the l2lst annual meeting
of the American Institute of Mining
and Metallurgical engineers.
George Otis Smith, director Of the
United States geological survey, st the
same meeting, confirmed the statement
Of the director of mines, and declared
that the position of the United States
in regard to its oil supply at the pres
emit time is "precarous.' Mr.. Smith
estimated the supply still undeveloped,
however at enough for about 20 years.
There are enormous quantities of oil
in the shale beds in Colorado, Wyoming
and Utah, it was explained, but D
rector Manning was doubtful whether
economic production of this oil is at
! present possible
| Latin America, Great Britain, France
ana the Netherlands, it was said con
| troll the mann pOtentlal sources ana all
of these countries have adopted poll
cies tending to shut out those of other
nationalites. Director Smith declared
that American concerns should enter
foreign fields not only with American
methods, machinery and brains but
also with money and financial and OPP
Grating control A "wide open oil pol
icy for all the world was advocated
by Director Manning, who urged the
active projection Of such a policy by
citizens and legislators.
Director Smith in his address on A
Foreign Oil Supply for the United
States. urged a nationwide thrift cam.
paign on the conservation of fuel oil
gasoline and lubrcating oil all along
the line of production and consump
tion by better methods in locating
drilling, recovery, transportation, re

the new demand of the shipping pro
