AVIATION TO
Be DEVELOPED
Laws May Soon Apply to Air
Navigating Same as
Upon Water.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-William
p. McCracken, Jr. Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce for Aeronautics,
in report released today in con
nection with the annual report of
the Secretary of Commerce, says the
air commerce act of 1926 tapproved
May 20) establishes Federal policy
with reference to commercial aero
nautics and placed its administration
under the Department of Commerce.
In general terms the act provides
that the same essential services shall
be given to navigation of the air
which have been provided for over
hundred years in navigation of the
water. The department is charged
with the duty of registering eligible
aircraft, certifying to their WORTH
ness, examining the operating per-
sonnel and air navigation facilities,
also of establishing air traffic rules.
provide for lighting, mapping, and
emergency landing fields and in
other directions furnishing assistance
to aviators such as radio-direction
protection facilities, weather in
formation, and other aids to naviga-
ton. The department is further
charged with the general develop
ment and promotion of commercial
aviation.
Purpose of Government
The purpose of the Government
has been threefold-first. to secure
better development of this new form
of transportation for commercial pur-
poses; second, to create private COM
mercial services which can relieve
the post office of it's direct expendi-
ture upon air mail; and third. by
the creation of large air fleet with
it's accompanying personnel and its
background of the manufacturing in
dustry to give fundamental mill
tary reserve to the country.
On January /, 1926, there were 1863
miles of air transport services in
operation by private enterprises, and
there were 2,665 miles operated by
the Post Office Department. Assur-
ance of Congressional action and the
official passage of the act have re-
suited in considerable preparatory
activities by private enterprise. Little
commercial aviation could be organ
lied until the fundamental services
above mentioned were assured, as no

Figures Of Speech

The idea contained in the figure of
speech which represents the ruling
power Of the universe as presiding
over a great mill, in which the destines
Of mankind are ground, is very ancient
and is found in all ages aud in all
hteratures. 1t seems to have seized
on the minds of man everywhere and
at all times as possessing singular
power and sppositeness.
Probably the most familiar express
sion Of the thought is found in the
lines which Longfellow translated
from Friedrich Won Logan, a German
poet of the seventeenth century, as
follows:
~The mills of God grind slowly, yet
they grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands wait
ing, with exsctnese He grinds all. :"
One authority on words and phrases
defines the expression, "the mills of
God grind slowly" as follows:
Vengeance may be delayed, but IT
will come when least expected"

New Years resolutions are like tele-
graph poles.
As you look out Of a car window
when travelling you see the telegraph
lines running beside the track.
The wires which continually tend to
sag are lifted and bolstered up at each
pole.
In similar way our lives stretch
away like a continuous wire. They,
too, sag unless bolstered up by periods
devoted to checking up on our weak
nesses and failings and formulating
definite plans for self-improvement.
The custom Of making New Years
resolutions is a good one because it
concentrates a mans attention upon
weak places that need to be corrected.
''The greatest OF faults is to be con-
scious Of nome" wrote Thomas Carlyle.
The person who sincerely sets aside
a period for honest self-evaluation and
frankly considers what he finds es-
capes from this fault at least.
1t helps to put plans for improve
ment down in writing.
Edward A. Filene, the Boston mer-
chant, records that he early learned
the value Of setting down his plans in
writing. He says he found they we're

The old saying, "He who dreams

he who works but does not dream is
only a drudge, but be who works and

is especially applicable at the begin
ming Of new year.
improvement in character comes
from a combination OF an ideal and
detailed work.
so New Years resolutions should
always include definite steps to fol-
low under each end in view.
The "first mile" in making a charge
is definitely recognizing the desired
ideal. The second is working out and
following detailed steps which will
bring you TO it.
The person who never checks up on
himself and plans how 10 better him

The only excuse for long life Is TO

not-are q valuable step in the proc

Lies Hurdles
By L. E. Bisch

There are great many people who
are afraid of being different.
They somehow get the notion that
they don't belong" and it worries
them.
Now, being different may be an
asset.
Plato was different. SO were
Michel Angelo, and Byron, and Gou-
nod, and Poe, and Schuman, and Ma
poleon, and hundreds of others who
have added materially to the worlds
progress and have made history.
mention these names because each
has been accused of being different in
a very marked sense, indeed, of being
distinctly abnormal.
What does being different imply
anyway?
Being different is not agreeing with
the regular, established prevailing
type!
II we take thousands of individuals,
catalogue their abilities, traits and
aptitudes, and then strike an average,
we arrive at set of characteristics
which is typical, of the particular
group we have tested.
Now apply this general method in
theory to everybody that exists-and
what do we have?
What we find is a very low mean
--mediocrity!
Therefore being different-not be-
ing typical-always means not being
mediocre.
1t does not necessarily mean being
superior, however.
1t may mean being inferior!
However, by far and large, those
whom I am trying to encourage are
more likely to fall within the su-
periOr than the inferior group-at
least as regards some Of their ca
pacities-those that they are worry
ing about.
Because people who actually are in
ferior do not worry about it.
Inferiority usually carries with ia
q dulling of sensibility, a weakening
Of judgment, lack Of insight into
their own condition.
In short, they don't know that they
are inferior. They don't recognize
the difference!
Therefore do not be alarmed IL you
consider yourself different!
It's the nature and degree of the
difference that counts.
Be different If that difference ia
going to make you excelli
Glory in your difference if the
knowledge of it will stimulate you to

old offences, tries to give pleasure, and
nothing makes one so much at peace

body about it. You would bore your
hearers to death.
1t is very much like eating inteli-
gently. Imagine yourself telling any
one what a sane, simple meal you had.
1t would be much more interesting to
tell about the lobster you ate after
the ice cream.
1t is very foolish, however, to walk
on a wager or to try to establish a
record. The finest and most benefi-
cial form of walking is dawdling along
a country road or over hill and dale,
care-free, without a thought Of how
fast you are going or even of where
you are going.
A strain on the heart, the lungs or
any muscle does no good and may do
great harm, 1t also does no good to
walk when you are tired. .s--..
1t would be a splendid thing If walk
ing clubs we're organized in every COM
munity under the direction Of an in
telligent physician who understood psy-
chology. The pleasuyable attributes of
a walk in the open are more important
than the distance covered or the record
that is made.
Anybody, whether a society woman
or a gas-fitter undertaking to walk
from one city TO another in a given
time, is really foolish. They lose the
benefit Of the exercise. They miss the
whole point Of walking. They could get
to the other town much faster in q
taxicab. And there probably would
be no great loss if they stayed there.
