A GREAT
ACHIEVEMENT

Uuheralded and uncelebratet
though it was, July II marked an
other long step forward in human
progress. On that day the United
States air mail service completed 9
year of operation unmarked by 6
single fatality. During this period
the planes flying on the New York
to San Francisco route covered l.
100000 miles, and more than 49,
100000 letters totaling 1924 800
pounds which were transported by
air.
If doubt still remained in the
mind of anyone that the mails OF
the future will be moved through
the air, swiftly and safely, this
remarkable feat of the pioneer ali
mail service should dispel it. Its
record also proves that aviation has
made much more progress than the
casualty lists of the "daredevils'
have indicated. These mail flyers
flew distance equal to flying 70
times around the earth without q
single fatal accident. 1t is at once
a vindication of the areial mail SER
vice, and also of aviation.
The record of the air mail SER
vice for the past year proves more
conclusively than any other test
ever made, the reliability and the
efficiency of the airplane In COM
mercial service. Through every kind
of weather, summer, fall, winter,
and spring, and over mountains,
deserts and forests, the Postoffice
Department air mail planes flew.
The percentage of trips actually
completed was 92.5 as compared
with S3 per cent for the last fiscal
year. The percentage of schedule
miles actually flown was even
higher, totaling 81 per cent.
While routes totaling $50 miles
were discontinued during the last
fiscal year and only the transcon-
tinental route of $3.50 miles MAIN
tanned, the air mail service never
theless carried the same amount of
mail as it did last year or 20
per cent more in each airplane load.
Officials of the air mail service
attribute the record of no fatal ac-
cidents in year to the fact that
all their pilots now are experienced.
The previous year was a pioneer
year. Then the pilots were learn
ing the routes they were flying and
the field hanger equipment was in
adequate. During the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1921, II people
died in accidents in the air mail
service. Many of the fatalities oc-
cured with the metal monoplanes
which were abandoned.

THRIFT HABIT

The oft-repeated charge that
Americans are a wasteful people
and have never acquired the thrift
habit is given hard jolt by figures
on savings bank deposits just an
nounced by the American Bankers
Association. The announcement
that s16,500,0OO,O0O is deposited
on savings accounts in banks Of
the country, including the postal
savings system, does not impress
the average person as forcibly as
when this figure is reduced to per
capita terms. Thus apportioned it
represents $165 for every man,
woman and child in the country.
Many of the country's leading
bankers looked for a substantial
dropping off in savings deposits
from the peak reached during the
hectic war days, but instead the to-
tai has increased by many millions.
This would indicate that Americans
have cultivated the habit too well to
rush to the banks for their "rainy
day" fund at the first signs Of ad-
versity. The savings account has
become a firmly established insti-
tuition in practically every American
home, permanent result Of the
Liberty Loan drives and war thrift
campaigns that makes pessimism
about the country's future look
ally.

NOT WHAT 1T
USED TO BE-

The proverbial "oldest inhabi-
tant" seems to have the best of the
argument when he insists these
days that the weather isn't what il
used to be.
There were days when winter
was winter and summer was sum-
mer. You didn't need a calendar
to tell which was which. The
weather told you. Thermometers
had little to do in those days. The
mercury rose steadily for three
months in the spring, and summer
was here; just as gradually the
slender thread in the glass tube be-
came shorter and shorter for three
months, and after that you went
out armored in artics, mittens,
and ear-laps. It was winter.
In those days there was some
thing distinctive about each of the
IL months of the year. Each one
knew its place and stayed in it.
It gave us something definite which
no other month tried to give us.
April brought showers, May brought
flowers, June gave US brides, and
that was that. You have to go to
the poets on an earlier day to learn
what a well-behaved family of
months the year was in those times.
These poets could write their De-
cember poetry in May, and their
October poetry in March. For years
and years ahead they knew just
what every month would be like,
because every year it would be
just the same dependable little
month.
But that isn't so any longer.
The oldest inhabitant is right when
he says weather isn't what it used
to be. The months have all run to-
gether so that you can't tell one
from the other. September may
behave very much like March, and
December may cut up in a way to
remind you of June. On any day
in July you may have to keep the
house shut up Ill day to keep the
heat out, while on the next day
you may have to start furnace
fire to drive the cold out Of the
house.
The oldest inhabitant is right.
Something has happened to our
weather. 1t wasn't Ike that when
we were boys.

REGULATING
FLYING

One-half of the 1900 airplanes
now in operation in the United
States are operated by "gypsey''
fliers, without fixed base Of opera
ton and generally without means
of assuring a reasonable degree of
responsibility. Six hundred planes
are controlled by 1875 operators
with fixed base and financial re-
sponsibility." Each class flew in
the neighborhood of 100000 miles
and carried $4,000 passengers.
There were ia accidents, result
ing in 40 deaths and the injury
of 80 persons. Yet not one person
was killed in a straight commercial
flight by the more responsible group
of flying men. The figures are for
the twelve months ending October
/ and are vouched for by the Aero
nautical Chamber of Commerce, an
organization earnest in advocacy
of a bill to provide federal regula-
ton of commercial flying.
A bill embodying the ideas of
the aircraft producers was recently
passed by the senate and is now
before the house. Sooner or later
regulatory action is certain. In
every other form of passenger car
rying for hire the federal, state and
local governments cooperate to en-
force certain standards of safety
and to insure financial RESPONSE
bility adequate to safeguard the
victim of an accident, or his family.
Passenger flying is yet only novel
ty, but promises at no distant date
to become an established and i'm
portant method of transportation.
In the meantime persons who pat
ronize commercial aviation en-
courage and hasten the flying age
and the patrons of the new era
are entitled to assurance that opera
tors comply with recognized stand
ards Of safety and responsibility.

JUSTICE TAFT'S
MISSION

Chief Justice Taft has been visit.
ing England. So far as the public
has been informed his visit to that
country has been in the nature
of a vacation from court duties.
Only through his reception by the
king and feting by nobility and
chief officials of the empire has
there come suspicion that he really
had a mission to perform. AT
these public functions utterances
have been made by his hosts as well
as by himself which indicate at
least that he has been performing
mission of value to our govern
ment and nation.
At one of the functions there
came up for discussion the attitude
of certain senators and representa-
tives towards England's obligations
to this country. Mr.. Taft said that
while he was not authorized to make
any statement, his own private
opinion was that such attitude was
personal and in no way represented
the sentiment Of the American peo-
pie. On another occasion the &C.
centricities of Ambassador Harvey
were referred to, and Mr.. Taft
adroitly replied that temporary
ebullitions" ought not to be taken
seriously even in England.
On several other occasions Mr..
Taft treated lightly matters that
Englishmen had been inclined to
regard seriously, though not so
lightly as to indicate that he did
not appreciate their seriousness.
