attention be given to the fifth, namely,
educational publicity" and with partic-
ular emphasis on the danger OF Sneez-
ing and coughing in public and the
duty of all so afflicted to cover their
mouths with handkerchtefs. This con-
structive critic says:
"I would like to suggest campaign
under this head to stop coughing and
sneezing in public places unless the
cough and sneeze are carefully covered
up. Many diseases abe spread that way.

the germs from reaching the air. OF
course, many of these are apparently

if not more look prosperous and well
dressed. The subject needs vigorous

spread of tuberculosis would be greatly
lessened, am convinced, if each one of
the travelling public would always cover

Powerful forces, including both

AIR CHIEFS D. K.
Indy s PLAN

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's sug-
Sestion that the fundamentals OF
aviation he taught in American
schools and colleges was heartily
Endorsed today by Government air
chiefs.
Both Army and Navy already
have established air training units
in few colleges, and plan to ex-
tend this work in the future.
Colonel Lindbergh's idea is a
wise one" declared Brig. Gen. B. D.
Foulois. assistant chief of the Army
Air Corps. "The Army is anxious
and willing to cooperate in any
plan to promote the aeronautical
science.
II think that aviation, particu-
larly the engineering side. offers a
useful and prosperous career to the
young men of our country. It is
comparable to the opportunity thai
was presented years ago to or
civil engineers when we were bull
ing railroads Within 10 or
years. aviation will be develop,
to point where we will nee
motor and plane construction. Nov
is the time for the young men to
get in on the ground floor and ad
vance with the science"
Because Of lack of money. equip,
ment and personnel, the Army is
not yet prepared to go into aviation
training on a wholesale scale, he
declared.
"But / see no reason" he added
why little later the fundamentals
OF aviation should not be taught
in the regular curricula Of our
high schools and colleges. Some
European countries. notably Ger
many, are already making sub
stantial progress In this field"
Since 1922, the Army has grad
uated 20S pilots out Of 1852 wnC
have taken civilian flying cadet
courses. Col. Lindbergh is grad
uate of one of the cadet schools.
Capt. Emory S. Land, assistant
chief of naval aviation, echoed
General Foulois' views.
while aviation, in my opinion.
will never be as safe as railroads
or automobiles, it offers unusually
attractive opportunities as a life
profession said Land. I'VE need
areonautical engineers to perfect in
ventions and new devices to de-
velop the art. We should offer
every inducement and facility for
the schools to teach aviation. My
only warning Is that we should not
turn out pilots overnight"
