House OF Lords in the latter part OF April. Criticism
was mainly directed against clause 4, which was held
to revive one Of the Objectionable practices out Of
which arose the dispute between the king and the par

Desiring to save time and expense, the Contra!
Valuation Department asked for power TO 90 direct to
the high court when il wanted an opinion on certain
doubtful points of Law, and this was provided for in
the bill. Thus the department was to be empowered

Railways Enter Aviation Field

No one can accuse Gen. W. W. Atterbury, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad. Of being a visionary.
The Pennsylvania has for years been regarded as ore
Of the most eonservatively managed railroads in the
United States, and its annual reports have reflected
that conservatism in the roads solid financial
standing.
The announcement that the Pennsylvania is one Of
the hackers and principal stockholders in the newly
formed Transcontinental Air Transport CO., Inc, l.
therefore taken as an indication that even the most
conservative Of business men realize there is nothing
visionary in relation to the future development OF
aerial transportation. General Atterbury in a recent
formal statement, declared that the time had come for
the use OF airplanes in connection with railroads, and
enthusiastically endorsed the plans OF the new cor
poration to inaugurate 4s-hour service between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. He said that far-reachiug
developments could be expected to result from the new
program which. for the first time places one of the
largest railroad systems squarely back Of the develop
ment Of aeronautics as an integral part Of its. pas
senger service.
Commenting upon the decision Of the Pennsylvania
railroad to embark in this new field, General Attcrbury
said the railroad has taken this step after careful
consideration. Our railroad has become part owner
OF the Transcontinental Air Transport, Inc, n the
belief that the time is ripe for the inauguration of
safe and convenient passenger airplane service IN this
country in connection with rail facilities. Years OF
flying and careful research have demonstrated that,
with proper maintenance and operation, passenger air
planes Of the type TO be used by the new company. fly.
ing only in the daytime and over carefully selected
and marked routes, can be safely operated"
Considerable impetus was given commercial ayia.
ton by Henry Ford, but ii is doubtful If there Is any
individual or corporation whose endorsement would
prove of greater value than General Atterbury and the
Pennsylvania railroad. Years of conservative man
agement have given the Pennsylvania prestige and any
declaration by that railroad or its president is given
respectful attention by the entire country.
General Atterbury was reported as having said tina.
the railroads at first began to overlook the significance
Of motor bus transportation, with the result that they
found themselves in direct competition with these
lines. Many railroads were then forced to run their
own bus lines in competition with existing motor
systems.
Repetition Of this condition in the field OF syiation
will be avoided, II was said. inaSmueh as the railroads,
according to General Atterbury. may be expected to
take an active part in the development Of these new
facilities for passenger travel.

II is one thing to be a hero for a few weeks. II is
another thing to be a young hero who must continue to

cannot help comparing the heroship Of LindberSh %.

the most wildly acclaimed heroes this nation ever en-

did not last long. He yielded to the temptation to
permit girls to kiss him. and when he had been kissed
by many thousands the nation didn't want him for q
hero any more. j don't blame Hobson a bit. He nav
have chosen the better part. What lasting adulation
could surpass in value a million enthusiastic Kisses
from the lips of the nations fairest?
But Lindbergh doesn't allow any kissing. He main
tains his dignity, which is a wonderful thing for 50
young a man to do. And he doesn't permit himscIf
to be exploited vulgariy for pay. Hes the most heroic
hero Of them all.
