Plane Prices to Drop

Even now it is possible to buy
light, but serviceable, single seaters
for as little as $1,000 apiece. y
Prices will run much lower when
they are manufactured in volume.
In England private owners of air.
planes keep them in garages and
tow them to and from the aviation
field behind automobiles, just as we
tow trailerS.
When the American people once
get it into their heads that the air.
plane is comparatively inexpensive
and comparatively safe, that it can
be used like a motor boat or a
flivver; that there is less con-
gestion in the sky than on the aver
age road; that one can see vastly
more from a thousand feet up than
by riding on the ground, and get
vastly more of a thrill out of the ex-
perience, this country will find no
trouble in gaining and keeping
supremacy of the air.

Thread of Fatality

The Russian minister is shot down
at Warsaw, which suggests that, al
though other countries forever are
denouncing Russia for preaching
violence, her representatives are
more often the victims of violence
than theirs.
In this particular case there runs
thread of fatality, if the London
Evening News is to be believed,
since the slain Russian minister is
supposed to have signed the death
warrant of Gar Nicholas and his
family.
Whether this is true or not, the
young student, who assassinated
him seems to have believed it and
seems to have been inspired by no
other motive than to seek vengeance
on a man, who had destroyed the
idols of his romantic nature.
He did not even know the
Russian minister by sight and
trumped up an excuse TO go to the
embassy some weeks ago so that he
would be sure to recognize him.
