overhead it would be provided that
nothing should be dropped from any
aircraft except wafer and fine sand.
Right of way in the air would be-
given TO a machine in distress. An
airship would have the right of way,
over an airplane. and balloon would
have the right of way over both. while
the relative right of way of machines
OF the same class is yet to be deter

Uniformity of traffic regulations for

obtainable by federal legislation and is
highly desirable. as in the air it is
difficult for drivers to know their
exact location. If laws differed in adj

that an airplane landing or meeting
another machine in the air might be
obeying the law Of one state but VIC
Iating the law of another with possible
serious consequences.

PROSPERITY AROUND CORNER
Improvement is Forecast by Secretary
of Agriculture.

Washington, D. C.-The still unsat-
isfactory but slightly improved condi-
ton of the American. farmer is brought
out by Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace in his report to the President.
This might have been prosperous
year for agriculture and for the ma
ton, says the secretary, but for the
distorted relationship between prices
received for farm products and the
prices paid for things the farmer must
buy. The physical basis of prosper
ity, he says, is here-food in super
abundance and the raw material which
goes into various products, including
clothing-but the real satisfactions of
prosperity are still around the corner.

reason for his action was found in

this passage:
