A Wise Policy.

| The Navy Department has taken a
wise step in revoking the leaves OF
Lieut.. l.. W. Curtin and Ensign :. v
Edwards. who were to fly with Rene
Fonck. the French ace. in his second
attempt to reach Paris from New
York. BY it's action the department
has put itself on record as taking
the stand that overseas flights in land
planes have been accomplished and
that nothing can be gained by further
experimentation along this line.
There will be little quarrel with the
Navy for its action in forbidding Cur
tin and Edwards to so with Fonck
or with its announcement that here
after naval personnel will not he al
lowed to join land plane overseas
expeditions. Undoubtedly the two
aviators will feel a keen sense of
regret. but they must realize, as a
great section of the public does, that
the Navy Department has inaugu-
"a ted an eminently wise policy.
There is no desire on the part of
the Government to interfere with
pioneering flights through the air. In
fact, many Government-sponsor eX.
petitions will probably be sent out
from time to time to aid in the de-
velopment of aviation. But the Gov
eminent realizes, as does an increas-
ingly large portion of the public, that
the ultimate has probably been
reached in overseas flights in land
planes, at least the ultimate that can
be attempted with any degree of
safety, and that further" experiment
will take large number of valua bic
lives.
Overseas flying, when it really
reaches the stage of practicability,
will not be attempted in land ships.
Seap:anes or amphibian planes will
be the method of transport. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, after it has been
demonstrated that a motor will run
for the thirty or forty hours to carry
a plane great distances, that the next
step is to devise pontoons or hulls
light enough to be borne by the
plane but strong enough to sup.
port the craft in case of forced
landing. There is certainly no bene
fit to aviation when lives are lost in
an attempt to prove what has al
ready been proved as conclusively as
it is possible to do in the present
stage of DEVELOPMENT.

Another View.

Chauncey Depew, one Of the coun.
try's grand old men, recently made
public the fact that sixty-six years
ago he put 500 in Peekskill savings
bank and that now it has grown to
S1,100. Not to be outdone by the
story, which Is told as an example Of
thrift and the benefits of saving, John
f. Andrus. millionaire of New York
proudly boasts that in 1864 he bought
A share of Singer Sewing Machine
stock which has melted him to date
approximately $4,000.
Both of these stories should inspire
young men to save their money. II am
willing to talk about that one share

twenty or thirty or Whereabouts to
save money. Instead of throwing II
