II does not seem possible at this
time to the average citizen that he
will ever come to look on flying as
anything but a dangerous stunt II
he needs assurance on this point he
has but TO play for moment that he

still In play--he Is now stepping I'M

earth. The very thought Of this
imaginary brick coming down on his
head Is enough TO make him decline
the most urgent invitation TO fy. And
II he adds TO the fact that what goes
up must come down. the further
knowledge that the higher II goes the
harder II falls, he win not even read
the aviator's invitation.
And still so a recent writer on this
subject tells us, the average man is
altogether wrong in his belief that
flying Is dangerous. Such opinion Is
founded on reports OF accidents dur
ing wartime flying; and the list of ac-
cidents is greatly augmented by the
fact that the average citizen includes
in II the accidents which result from
stunt flying for exhibition purposes.

commercial service Is not 10 be com

IT'S BAD TO DREAM

from our gullet, showing plainly that
we suffered from indigestion as we

individual who enjoys the sinecure
that goes with being Nevada's pure
food expert, one s. C. Dinsmore. He
looked very sage and serious as he
told US that we had imbibed of a po-
ton that was made by a bootlegger in
one OF the halcyon valleys east of this
city and as he explained that we had

lead, we figured that our tenure of
stay on this mundane sphere was
short indeed.
But we know that our vivid though
wrong and wrongful impressions of
sleeping were based more or less on
fact, even though this fact applies to
some of our good friends in this little
city. One of these is now a sufferer
from disorder that may exact his
life and the disorder is a true reflex
OF the rotten drink stuff of which he
has imbibed. There are others who
are suffering Ill effects, yet persist

high sounding phrase, but it cannot

Now we are informed, correctly or
otherwise, that Fallon has a number

the stuff served to favored customers
and the holiness of the bootleggers
who make their headquarters in this
city would reflect great credit in a
decent calling. 1t takes commend
