Give q Lift
to Aviation
MERICA invented the air

A MERlCA invented the air
n plane, then forgot it.
Flight between Paris and
London has become 80 standard
that it costs less to insure against
accident by the air route than on
the surface. The same is true, or
is becoming true, of growing
number of established air lines in
Europe.
But here, where the airship was
born, it is still a rarity; people
are skittish of it, lawmakers neg
lect it, and its great possibilities
lie fallow.
There are, in civilian use, only
a thousand planes in the United
States, whereas there ought, by
this time, to be at least half a
million. The passengers carried
last year were fewer than a
quarter of a million-they should
have been numbered by the
hundreds of millions.
They would have been had we
promptly given to the airship ade-
quate attention and support.
Following our frantic and
largely futile effort in the war
to build aircraft by spasms, we
have been rushing to the oppo-
site extreme of neglect until to-
day, although aviation promises
eventually to revolutionize trans
portation and recast many social
customs, there isn't a law on our
statute books providing for its
coming.
There is no public inspection of
planes to guard against faulty
workmanship or materials; no re-
quiring pilots to show proof Of
competency before being per-
mitted to risk their own lives or
others; no prescribing rules of
the air.
Indeed, nobody knows yet who
owns the air or whose duty it is
to regulate 1.-THE State or the
Federal Government.
Naturally, until as much care is
taken by public authority to safe
guard travel in the air as on land
or sea those who always view new
methods askance will continue to
brand the airplane as unsafe"
and by their own timidity infect
others.
An indispensable basis for the
development of American COM
mercial flying is, therefore, legis-
lation which will spread conf
dence in safety.
The Hicks Wadsworth bill
makes needed beginning. 1t pro-
poses to create in the Department
of Commerce a bureau to encour-
age civilian aviation by laying
out air routes, forming and en-
forcing rules for air navigation,
licensing pilots after rigid ex-
animation, and inspecting fields
and machines.
1t is certainly time to employ
foresight in this matter.

Pursuit of
Happiness
IKE all the rest of the race,
. you want to be happy.

PChAOnCc, WHICH Is d LARRY luuud-
mental document, recognizes Hap
piness among the few elemental
interests which a State should
foster.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness are mentioned there as
inaienable rights.
The right and liberty we have;
and it is dear almost as life itself.
1t is the function of the State to
protect and preserve both of these.
Life and liberty are causes worth
dying for.
But Happinessf Neither the
most benevolently despotic au,
tocracy nor the most nearly just
and benefcent democracy can as
sumo the guaranty of Happiness.
Neither Plato in his "Ideal Re-
public,' nor More in his
utopia, nor Bellamy in "Look-
ing Backward" nor Wells, our
latest inventor of a perfect world
(of the imagination), sought to
assure Happiness to the earth and
to the inhabitants thereof.
A wise bit of American scrip
lures, that Declaration, wise in
its day and sufficient for sue
ceeding generations, in being con-
tent to recognize our right to the
PURSUIT of Happiness!
Yes, it is enough for the State
to protect us in the pursuit.
And, after. all, that is sufficient
and better! To pursue is bet
ter than to attain, be it happiness
or any other human good.
Unless, indeed, attainment is
used as the basis for aspiration
and further achievement! Do you
remember how we used to debate
that question ut SCHOOL, Namely,
whather pursuit or achievement is
preferable.
There is deep significance in the
popular sopg, I Don't Know
Where I'm Going, but Pm on
the Way!" Of course, you would
do we'll, in addition, to make sure
of your direction at least, even if
you cannot discover your destina-
ton.
Your Song of Life is both wise
and happier when it proclaims
that you know now whittier you
are going, and therefore you're
glad you re on the way!
Our one supreme concern, when
we are earnest and honest with
ourselves, is not happiness, but
Holiness.
Perhaps that is using an ancient
and emn-sounding word, for
which our modern equivalent
might be Self lfillment. Or, if
you please, spell Holiness as
Wilderness.
Not that we choose to be long
faced and to eschew Happiness!
On the contrary, the one way to
secure Happiness is not by pur-
suing it, but by seeking express
sion, realization, fulfillment, COM
pleteness, Wilderness of your ma
ture, your personality, your in
dividuality, yourself.
Then, inevitably, you will find
happiness as a by-product Of
normal functioning, whether on
the physical, the intellectual, the
moral or the spiritual plane;
whether in the personal or the
social life, and in whatever
sphere of relationship.
However, neither physical in
diligence nor intellectual exercise
nor moral interests nor spiritual
devotion nor work nor play, none

Cotton Mill Trade
I'm Finished Goods
Now Near Normal
The Last Week Has Shown
Continued Improvement;
Plants Hampered Some
what by Freight Delays
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Oct. ID
With interest broadening to include
almost all kinds Of goods. finished cot
ton goods continued this week in their
movement toward normal conditions.
The Improvement in finished goods has
been spread over such an extended
period that the results attained have
to some extent been overlooked. Esti-
mates obtained by your correspondent
on comparative basis Of the present
activity and that CT the same season
OF ordinary years el lablished the fact
that trading has come pretty close to
normal
Behind this sound trading basis Of
the industry is the belief that the coun-
try as whole can be expected to pro-
vide a substantially more active busi-
ness, as is indicated by the ability to
realize sales in all lines at better
prices. Natural conditions, because Of
adverse cotton crops, have influenced
manufactured cotton goods toward
higher levels. But six months ago,
even, wholesalers and retailers refused
to take goods at substantially lower
prices. They insisted then they had
to see business in sight before making
commitments, and the buying which
favorable prospects, indicates that
dealers all along the line see business
in sight.
The abnormally warm weather has
probably taken the edge off trading.
The chilly weather of the past week
stimulated trading, for, after all, the
thermometer is better reminder for
seasonal wear than the calendar. With
the cold urging buyers on, the atten-
tion of the trade has been turned to
the transportation situation as the
most serious menace to normal opera
tions. This comes at a time when the
demand will be made heavier because
of the resumption of operations by
mills closed by the New England
strike.
Freight delays have already ham
pered raw cotton supplies on hand. If
they are to meet the orders now be-
ing taken cotton will have to come in
in greater volume than for several
months. Water transportation affords
some relief, but cotton cannot be han
died exclusive of rail traffic. This
leaves those who have allowed either
their stocks of finished goods or raw
cotton to dwindle in the hope Of i'm
proving their price position in rather
uncomfortable straits.
Prices on all finished goods this
week have been firm. The holiday re-
stricted business to some extent, the
week being devoid Of any large move
ments outside of heavy buying of Egyp-
tian cotton. Egyptians have been the
only cotton to advance within. the past
