AVIATION
BY FREDERICK z. NEELY.

! ment equipment in that treacher.
Gus flying weather.
Radio weather reports from
cities along the line received al
the time of take-off could have
prevented much hard work for the
bombing pilots and prevented the
ships from being exposed to grea'
damage.
Public Will Not Take Risk.
The public is not going to run
risks over uncharted airways and
take the weather as the Army
flyers do ON the wing. Safety
and comfort will be demanded, eX-
c>pt in cases where the adventur-
GUS spirit runs high. The cities
along the route taken by the
bombers are not to be held re-
sponsible at the present time for
the lack of proper facilities. All
have awakened to the need 1or
airports and have spent much
money in providing these termi-
nails. The one at Augusta is fully
equipped for day and night flying
and has complete facilities for
fueling and caring for planes
Shreveport, La, is awake to the
advantages of air traffic and has
three airports, one municipal and
two privately owned. Out in the
Texas desert the thriving little oil
town of Midland has a splendid
field, which is we'll patronlzed py
oSS-country airmen.
The field is not the only thing,
as hangar space, gasoline, oil,
major repair facilities and gen.
eral assistance with airplanes are
demanded. These pioneers IN
airports are not making millions
in receipts, but they love their
work, see a great future ahead for
their cities and are thankful they
are on the ground floor of aero
nautics.
Aid of Cities Important.
All cities and towns, however,
are not yet awake to the assist
ance they can render air travellers
by identifying their communities
and pointing the way to the near
est airport. A pilot flying a course
by map sometimes is unable to
check all the small places along
the course and consequently is at
a loss to know at which place ne
wishes to land. Lieut.. Upston was
not sure that he had checked all
the towns on his map while flying
from Shreveport to Midland, but
when he came to the latter city
he circled it and found three diff
ferent identification marks on the
',uildings of the town. These also
pointed to the location of the air
>crt and gave the mileage.
Such markings are boons to air.
~,cr. particularly when they are
in need of hasty landings, and
-~o-tua'lv the city which refuses
- identifv itself will be unpatron-
lied by the air travellers.

367 AIRPORTS IN USE.
754 Landing Fields in Preparation

AMERICANS GUESTS.
AT $1OO,O(lD DINNER
81 Pittsburghers Attend Sill.
yer Wedding Anniversary
of ToWnsfoIk in Paris.
BY the Associated Press.

By bne AAsoclhteu Iress,
PARIS, April 28.-The dinner party
for which Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Alfred
May had brought Ga guests from their
home city Of Pittsburgh, Pa, to cele-
brate the silver anniversary OF their
wedding was held last night In the res
taurant Place 1Opera, owned by an
other Pittsburgher, Lee H. Weller.
Weller said that he used to know
Walter May when he didn't have enough
money to buy a meal" but last night
the entertainment provided by the 55-
year-old owner of string OF drug
stores reached q climax which placed
1t on a par with the munificence of the
expansive pre-war times, when Russian
grand dukes and Indian potentates
toured Paris letting gold coins fall
where they might.
The lowest estimate which has been
heard Of the cost Of bringing to France
and entertaining the wedding party
which saw the Mays united on April
81, 1908. Is 100000. The menu of the
banquet was worthy of the day of Louis
XIV and for those who chose there
were wines bottled before Pittsburgh
had been chartered as a city.
Not only had May enabled each OF his
guests to chat with home folks by tele-
phone during the festivities. but his
constant attention to detail was shown
in the provision of instruments of :he
American type. so that no one would
lose second Of their expensive two
minute transatlantic talks through
wrestling with the queer" French de-
sign.
The dinner closed with the singing
of songs, some composed on the we'd
ding day Of the Mays and Others writ
ten in celebration of anniversaries.
