feated In each project by the quick

The early intervals OF the picture

comedy that threads the entire mar

AERIAL TRAFF|CACT
INTRODUCED IN n. Y.
Acrobatic Stunts Over Cities
Prohibited in Measure Be-
fore State Assembly.

HARTFORD, Conn, Jan. 31.-The
day of the aerial traffic cop, the sky
lamppost and all those appliances Of
advanced aviation are just around the
corner. in the opinion today OF Major
william J. Malone. author of the
aerial traffic regulation" bill which,
Is expected to be acted upon by the
State legislature this week.
The bill provides that aerial traffic
regulation shall be placed under the
commissioner of motor vehicles. 1t
stipulates that Fighter than-afr ma
chimes <blimps. balloons, etc.) shall
be given the right OF way in the air."
The measure was drafted by Major
Malone and introduced by Represen-
tative Buckley, who declared 1T was
urgent that it should be passed to
safeguard air pilots and passengers
who fly over the State.
Major Malone predicted this was
but a step in the State government OF
air traffic and that. additional legisla-
ton will be proposed within short
time.
The bill will replace the regulatory
law adopted in 1911 which has been
followed in many States. The new
measure states that aerial acrobatics
will not be permitted over thickly
settled communities; air pilots must
have State license just as taxicab
drivers; all aircraft must be inspected
and registered by the State just as
other motor vehicles; that landing
markers must be three feet high at
all landing places; must be controlled
by State authorities: that promiscu-
Gus dropping of handbills and docu-
ments from airplanes will be in vio-
lation OF the law; that all pilots will
be responsible for damage done their
planes.
Similar steps have been taken by
several Canadian-border States in the
West. In Wisconsin a law recently
was adopted prohibiting carrying
liquor in airplanes as an effort to cur
tail bootlegging OF whiskey.
