Dear Andy Dale:

Dear Andy Dale:

I'm hard luck fella when it comes to james, Every time I get one she either moves uuta town or else she ain't got any spending money.

There 10 no doubt OF the development, IN the f-
ture, Of more air routes, a larger number Of airplanes
operating in all sections Of the country, more pilots to
be licensed for handling the air traffic and a host Of
other details concerned with the great development Of
these activities in America. AL o. this il evidenced
by the increased patronage that is being given our
present air service. In the way Of parcels, express and
passenger service.
1t is important that the United States government
shall see that the element OF safety Is administered and
that responsibility falls on the Department Of Com
msrce. There Is nothing that will stimulate civil or
commercial aviation more than a careful attention to
safety BY the government. safety both As to passengers
and 70 other air traffic. The Department OF Commerce.
in looking after these matters Of regulation Of the air
service. Is performing functions. in principle much like
the Interstate Commerce Commissions supervision Of
The railroads OF the country.
For these reasons. I believe that all airways and
airway services Of all kind necessarily must be ander
federal control. 1t is the only way to ensure safety
in the air. II is the only way to avoid interference with
the air services operating in interstate business.
am rahter inclined to think that there will be
a disposition in congress TO enlarge the powers and
duties OF that branch Of the federal government that
has jurisdiction over aviation with a view to insuring
more careful inspection Of airpIanes, more careful ex-
animation Of pilots before they may become licensed.
more careful surveys Of the airways Of the United
States.
All these developments will bring about q demand
for increased funds as compared with what have been
first estimated for the work as the services have been
developing. because Of the wide interest that has been
manifested for civil aviation. There may have 40 be

known" or untrumpeted teachers. the patient, inteIli-
gent daily workers in the class room, who lead, dis
eirline and bring the light Of knowledge to the cOun-

faithful educators that DR.. Henry Van Dyke, in connec-
ton with open School Week" pays deserved tribute,

II sing the praise Of the unknown teacher. Great
generals win campaigns. but II is the unknown soldier
who wins the war. Famous educators plan new sys-
tens OF pedagogy. but It Is the unknown teacher who
delivers and guides the young. For him no trumpets
blare. no ehariots wait, no golden decorations are de-
creed. He keeps the watch along the borders Of dark
ness and makes the attack on the trenches Of isnor-
ance and folly. Patient in his daily duty, Ne strives

shares with boys and girls the best treasures OF his
mind. He lights many candles which. 10 later years,
will shine back to cheer him. This is his reward.

knowledge can be transmitted only BY personal con-
tact. No one has deserved better OF the Republic than

est. Louis Globe-Democratl

A commission in New York, presided over BY State
Senator Caleb II. Baumes, which has been giving nm
alarmed attention to the great and increasing number
OF sworn statements stained through whit black per-
jury. has arrived at several recommendation deemed
OF avail in checking the deplorable evil.
II for no other reason. the report would have in
terest because. in framing q proposed Law. the COM
mission has taken some account Of the probabilities Of
enforcing IL, something that seems almost unexampIed
in the United States. IL would make perjury q mere
misdemeanor. instead of a felony Ms at present. and
the reason is that 1t would be easier to obtain convic-
tons after the change. The new definition might be
adequate TO ordinary forms Of perjury. but Il seems
that the old definition ought to be prepared for per-
jury committed under particularly atrocious circum-
stances. The public commotion can be imagined on@a
discovery that only a misdeneanor sentence could be
inflicted on a false witness who had sworn away the
life OF an innocent man. such eases occasionally ap-
pearing In the records.
Now. when falsity is established in q sworn state
ment, It is necessary TO show that it was a statement
material and pertinent to the point it was desired to
prove. Also, when the same person makes under oath
two statements, the one directly contradicting the 9TH
er, Il IL necessary 20 show by other evidence the falsity
Of one. The commission would plug up both technical
~loopholes. A false statement would be perjury,
whether material or not, and statements contradict
ing each other would be prima facie evidence Of per-
jury without further proof. For the particular prob
lem disclosed in New York the commission. in addition,
would make perjury in court punishable summarily rs
contempt and would create tne special office Of As
sistant Prosecutor TO deal with perjury cases alone.
Not alone in New York, but in all important seats
Of courts throughout the country. such an officer
could find much to do If the recitals Of many persons
are to be believed. An increasing habit OF untruth in
ordinary affairs Is said 70 have a reflex in ~affidavits III
which the most startling f~alsehoods are attested un-
der the sanctity Of an oath. And judges, practitioners
and others profess that they are often sickened BY the
amount Of perjury that goes on in the courts Of law
and the ease with which persons may Be suborned to
commit perjury.
The ~frightful practice is not confined to any one
place, and some Of the suggestions made may be help
full in very many places.
