HIGH MARK OF
SAFETY IS SET
AT AIR FIELD
Only Two Fatal Crashes in
Two Years Here, With
Three Dead.

Flying in Indianapolis has kept
pace with the advance throughout
the country in the matter of safety,
according to statistics made public
today by Captain H. Weir Cook,
u. S. Army instructor assigned to
the Indiana National Guard and
on duty at the Indianapolis airport.
There have been but three fatal
tiles at the airport in more than
two years, Captain Cook reports.
At Schoen Field, the aviation di-
vision of the U. S. Army at FIT.
Benjamin Harrison, there has not
been a single nishap injuring per-
sonnet during the last two years.
Damage to planes at both places
have been Slight.
Figures completed by Captain
Cook, and on file at the National
Guard armory here, show that Of
ficers and men spent 1903 hours
and SO minutes in the air between
June 80, 1926, and June 80, 1927.
Two Fatal Crashes
These are actual flying hours"
that is, hours of the various ships
in the air Man hours, meaning
the number Of hours men were in
the air, sometimes two or more in a
single plane, total 2,470 for the
period.
Fatal accidents at the airport
occurred in October. 1926, when a
National Guard lieutenant was
killed and in August. 1927, when a
sergeant and a woman passenger
fell several hundred feet and died
shortly afterwards.
Lindbergh's flights greatly have
stimulated interest in flying here as
elsewhere. and commercial and
several private planes are making
daily trips at the airport.
All in the Days Work
persons no longer are afraid to
fly Captain Cook declared. ITO
most of US it is aN in the days
work now. Flying is both safe and
practical"
Inauguration of the air mail here
was another boon to aviation. Rec
ords of air mail filters have been
unusually free from serious acct
dent and the few deaths have large
ly occurred during storms.
Record for safety and service of
the air mail is reflected in the fol-
lowing statistics of miles travelled
with mail: In 1925 there were 1916
1854 miles travelled. with 9,300,520
letters; 1926, there were 2,256.1 1877
miles, with 14,145,6 $40 letters; while
i'll 1927 there were 2,329,553 miles
Travelled, with 22,385,OO letters. Let
tiers average 40 to the pound of mail.
So safe has flying become that
many insurance companies have
abolished the practice of requiring
suspension of policies during the
time spent in air They now re-
ouire an additional premium, about
$25 on $1,000 insurance, from those
engaged professionally in flying.
For the person who takes an &C.
caSional flight as a passenger, no
additional premium is required and
the policy remains in force. A
QUESTIONABLE must be answered by
each applicant regarding his avia-
ton tendencies, however.
New ships aSquired by the Ma
tional Guard at the airport will
make flying even more safe, Cap
tain Cook asserts. The latest &C
QUESTION will be flown here from
Buffalo, N. Y, on Friday.
1t is the latest type of army OBJ
servation plane and two more of
similar design are to be added in the
spring, Captain Cook said.

DOUBT IF U. S.
IS SINCERE IN
ANTI-WAR PLAN
Church Leaders Declare
Move Mere Gesture to
France by Administration.

That Secretary Kellogg's proposal
for multi-lateral peace treaty with
France is inSincere and "a mere
gesture, safe to make because he
knew France could not accept" was
the almost unanimous declaration
of speakers at the annual congress
and open forum of the Disciples Of
Christ, which closed Wednesday
night at the Central Christian
Church.
The sessions were devoted to talks
regarding the various ways and
means of making war impossible.
Four things were prescribed by
DR.. Albert w. Palmer, pastor of the
First Congregational Church of Oak
Park, Ill, principal speaker Wednes-
day night.
They are: "Outlawry of war, as
nearly as possible: reduction of ar
maments to a minimum, ultimate
joining OF some sort Of world court
as cooperative enterprise for dis
cussion Of world problems and de-
velopment of the international
mind"
Training for Children
"Civilization has advanced in all
lines except in the matter Of war
fare" DR.. Palmer declared. "The
warfare of today is no longer fight
between two armies Of professional
soldiers; 1t is struggle between
two entire civilizations"
1--WE must train our children In
the schools to know that the genu-
inc enemies Of any nation are too
much money, disease, ignorance,
overpopulatjon and crime"
Dean Frederick D. Kershner OF
the Butler University School of Re
ligion framed in words the attitude
of the meeting regarding Kellogg's
French proposals.
IF the United States would not
even join the League of Nations or
the World Court, why would it be
willing to enter into such a treaty?",
he asked.
U. 8. Is Preparing
THE United States soon will be
better prepared for war than any
other country" the Rev. Clarence
E. Lennon of st. Louis, Mo, added.
Others who spoke in similar vein
were Editor Charles Clayton Nor
rison of the Christian Century, and
DR.. Alva w. Taylor. secretary of
the board OF temperance and social
welfare of the Disciples Of Christ.
The Rev. Robert L. McQuary,
pastor Of Central Christian Church
al Anderson. was elected president
of the congress. Other officers

fEEbLE.M|NDED IN
 STATE INCREASING
Number of Epileptics Also Crow ing in Connecticut
By GEORGE II. MANNING

By GEoRLE II. MANNING
 Washington Correspondent, N. E. Herald)
 Washington, D. C., July b.--The number of feeble minded and epilep- tics in Connecticut has been in creasing steadily during the last IS years and especially during the last five years.
 On January l, 1928, there were 710 patients at the Mansfield State Training school and hospital, the Connecticut State institution as com- pared with 294 patients in 1910, ac- cording to figures announced today by the L. s. Census bureau.
 The most striking fact is that first admissions at the Mansfield institu- tion have more than tripled during the last five-year period. In 1922 there were only 39 first admissions as compared with IA during 1927. As compared with 80 admissions for 1926. the 1927 figure represents an so per cent increase. First admis- sions, the department explains, represent patients received who had not previously been under treat ment in any institution for feeble minded and epileptics.
 The increase in the number of first admissions in Connecticut be- tween 1922 and 1927 was relatively greater than the growth of the states population during the same period, as shown by the fact that the first admissions in 1927 numbered S.S per 100000 of population, as compared with per 100000 of population for 1926, and 2.7 for 1922.
 Of the first admissions during 1927 O6 were males and 7S were females.
