rewards of such practice are small.
The result is that young physicians do not settle

The senate has passed bill designed to remedy
the discrimination against this limited class The

Secretary of War Says United

of Aviation.
STUDIES AVIATION IN EUROPE
General Mitchell Reports Result Of
Two Months investigation Abroad
Legislation Needed Requlr-
ing Inspection Of AirpIanes.

Washington.-For the time being at
hind the march of aviation progress.
This Is, however, a condition which
must and will be remedled IL Secre-
tnry Of War Weeks has anything to
say in the mAtter-and he has.
The secretary of war lately declared
that the European nations, particu-
larly those of them like Great britain
and France, that have attained the
utmost degree of efficiency in the fly
ing art on the military as well as on
the commercial side, are spending
much more money in the development
OF aviation, are developing superior
types of machines and in general are
quite n few steps in advance of the
United States.
Studied Aviation Abroad.
The secretary of war is making a
study Of the status of aviation here
and abroad with a view to putting
the United States in the forefront of
the march. He received lately from
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant
chief of the aviation service, the re-
suit Of two months investigation the
latter has made of conditions in Eu-
rope.
incidentally Bill Mitchell, one of
the veteran flyers of the country. told
the secretary of war of a unique ex-
perience he had the other day I'm the
vicinity of Detroit when making II
flight from Chicago. General Mitchell
ran into a thunder cloud which had
a length of at least 100 miles.
General Mitchell had never in his
previous experience ran into storm
of this size. Thunder clouds, always

Encourage Commercial Aircraft.
From the standpoint Of the War de-
partment the development Of COM
mercial aircraft should have every en-.
couragement FOR the reason that II
would provide For the army great
reserve Of competent pilots and off,
GERS in any national emergency.
At the present time there Is no law
providing for the inspection or regu-
lation Of pilots or their machines
when engaged In commercial service,
and this fact. the secretary Of war be-
lieves, has given rise to many of the
accidents that have occurred In the past.
As an example Of the degree Of
safety which may be attained n COM
merclal flying the secretary Of war
lnstanced the fact that one CONNER

Fla. and Nassau has carried $4,000
to 100000 passengers without an ac-
