UNIFORM AIR LAWS

The conference Of commissioners on
uniform state laws which met recently at
Cincinnati, discussed a uniform aviation
act. Their discussion is of interest be-
cause it indicates a few of the legal prob
lens which have come into being along
with the newest form of transportation
The act, as it stood at the end of the
conference, includes recognition of the
right to fly over private property, pro-
vided the flight is not so low as to inter
fere with the use of the land. 1t requires
that an aviator fly at a sufficient height
to enable him to land at a recognized
landing place in case of accident, and
provides further for liability for damage
if he does land on private property. Be
fore the proposed law is presented to the
American Bar association for final ap-
proval and recommendation to state leg
islatures there may be other important
requirements in it.
The right to fly over private property
is of even more Importance than appears
to the casual reader. Sympathy for the
aviator who falls in an accident is no less
because one also sympathizes with the
persons on the land beneath who also suf-
fer injury. There is a growing feeling
that flying should be done as little as pos
sible over crowds of spectators or over
city thoroughfares. The risk to many
lives is too great. The fact remains that
if an aviator is to fly any distance at all
he is bound to fly over somebody's prop
erty and should have a legal right. to do
so. always with as many precautions as
are possible. The early objection of many
farmers that their livestock and poultry
were frightened by aviators will probably

vertised recently in the Boston newspa-

man in a letter to the Boston Herald
bemoans the fact that churches must re
sort to advertising. He says it is the
most dreary and discouraging sidelight
on modern church methods that he has
seen. Why "dreary and discouraging" :?
This church evidently believes as many
other organizations do, that newspaper
advertising is an effective and far-reach-
ing means of telling what you want.

THE WIND.
By LEE PAPE.

THE WIND.
Wind is air going some place. 1t
Is one of the principle parts of the
weather.
Wen air is standing still people jest
breeth it without even thinking about
nttle everybody starts to notice il.
Proving if you stay in one place people
forget you are there.
A little air is breeze. good eel
is a gale and the most there is is a
syctone. People who take their hat off
in breeze and think they're CRATE are
the ferst ones to get mad wen a syclone
takes 1t off This proves its hard to
please the same people all the time.
Wind going in one window and out
another makes a draft and is one of the
best things to catch cold in. The
ferSt thing you do wen YOU sneeZe is look
Ground for a draft and if you don't see
one you injoy your next sneeze mulch
more. The ferSt part of q cold is a
sneeze but that don't say the last part of
sneeze has to be cold, on account of
there being more sneezes than colds
In summer wen the wind blows in
peoples houses they brag about it. but
in winter wen it blows in they are
ashamed of it. This proves there is
time for everything.
One of the funniest things the wind
does is blow off other peoples hats
and one of the werst things it does is
blow off yours Proving we don't real
ize we are always somebody elts to
others.
The wind is crate help to a balloon
if its going the same way but on the
contrary if its not.
The cheef winds are north. east.
south and west. and this prevents eny
from blowing either strate down or strate
up.

In Defense Of corsets.

Sir James Camille, the great surgeon
and authority on tropical diseases, is
a warm defender of corsets. In his
opinion the comparative absence of
liver troubles in women is due large
ly to the equahIe temperature their
bodies obtain through wearing cor
sets. And more boys than girls die
in childhood because the former do
not wear corsets. He urges men to
wear cholera belts-a strip of flannel
around the waist-to give them the
protection that corsets give to women.

In the language of the grammarian,
the speaker does not make proper dis

the past participle of the same word.
The principal parts of "see" are as
follows: Present, see; past, saw;
imperfect participle, seeing; perfect
participle, seen. Therefore, the SEN

saw him do it," not 81 seen him do IT."
We hear person say, 81 have saw"

Of course, the expressions should be,
Il have SEEM" Il would have SEEM"
since seen" is the participle to be
