MANY PROJECTS WAITING

Prediction that commercial avia-

cities of the country will spring into
being with the enactment of federal
legislation establishing uniform air
laws was made today by Col. W.
Jefferson Davis, counsel for the new

citation and a member OF the aviation
committee of the American Bar Asso-
citation.
Col. Davis represented the War De-
partment as special counsel at the

perimental stage and there is i'm

laws governing aeronautics. Early
action by Congress will have a mark
ed effect in the development of new
transportation industry"
Col. Davis stated that Congress is
faced with the immediate necessity
of enacting federal legislation pro-
viding for uniform air laws. The
only surprising thing is that this
country. a pioneer in flying, should
be SO long without vision in solving
fundamental questions Of jurispru-
dence for the control and regulation
Of flying Such a federal bill. II
passed, will become the charter for
civil aviation and will be basis for
the control and sovereignty which the
federal government can, and should
properly exert over the air.
"In 1917 the nervous energy OF the
American people expressed itself in
preparing its young manhood for
service at the front. In the immediate
future this same energy and activity
should be expressed in training the
youth and talent of the country for
efficient service in the air. not only
for national defense, but for COM

be a most important link in future

talked about the kaiser who now in

been wiser to cut out wedding bells.

about the races which are Tia

streets and alleys, to buy myself a
