Millions ofvDoys and girls all over
the world, thousands of them right
here in Connecticut, are being re-
stored to health and strength by the
purely vegetable tonic and laxative
known as California Fig Syrup and
endorsed by physicians for over 50
years
Children need no urging to take
it. They love its rich, fruity favor.
Nothing can compete with it as A
gentle, but certain laxative, and it
goes further than this. il gives tone
and strength to the stomach and
bowels so these organs continue to
act normally of their own accord. II

his rudy cheeks. bright eyes and
plump. sturdy little body and he
stands at the top in every health
test.
Much Of the credit for his per-
feet condition is due to California

babyhood for every upset spell and
to keep his bowels active during
colds or any children's ailments and
he has had an easy time With them.
He always responds TO its gentle
urging and Is quickly back to nor

Applications for pilots and me-
chanic's licenses showed striking in
crease during the past fiscal year.
due in large measure to the pub
licity given the epochal flights which
occurred during that period. By
June so last applications were on
file for over $500 pilots and 5000
mechanics which was about three
| times the number on file on the cor
responding date the previous year.
On June 80. over 400 applications
had been received for licensing air
planes as compared with 100 at the
end of the 1927 fiscal period. Up to
June so last, licenses had been is
sued for approximately 5000 pilots,
5000 mechanics and 1000 airplanes
In addition, 1000 applications for
students permits have been filed.
In order to pass on the qualltica-
tons of these applicants, the bu-
reau maintains 40 inspectors in the
field. AS the work OF these inspec
tors is almost entirely at airports
official airplanes can be utilized with
great saving of time and CORE
spending increase of efficiency. IN
fortuna tely, the report shows, there
are but "A planes of modern de.
sign available for their use. Funds

five more but even with this addl-
tional number of airplanes the tosal
will be about one-third of the NUM-
Der essential to the most efficient
performance of inspection duties.
Referring to the enforcement OF
regulations the report shows That
during the past fiscal year there
were 224 violations, resulting in Co
assessments of the civil penalty. III
reprimands, % suspensions, 2 revo-
cations, and 5 denials of Licenses.
The violations consisted of acrobatics
over prohibited areas, flying low over
congested areas, flying licensed air.
craft without pilots license, flying
aircraft with no identification num-
bers displayed and flying without
navigation lights.
Among the interesting Develop
ments Of the past flscal year clteo
by Major Young in his report was
the creation of an accident board
within his organization to investigate
all civil aircraft accidents with the
view to determining and eliminating
their causes. This board is compos-
ed of two experienced pilots, flight
surgeon, a lawyer versed In air law
and an aeronautical engineer. A
careful analysis of accidents is made
and a percentage valuation assigned
to contributory causes. This method,
it is declared, will provide statistics
TO show the exact causes of accidents
and point the way to their ellmina-
ton. 1t will also provide valuable
index to those portions Of the air
commerce regulations regarding both
personnel and material that may be
unnecessarily severe, or where high
er safety standards are requisite and
more exacting and specific regula-
lions must be imposed.
