AVIATION
BY FREDERICK r. NEELY.

! to board the airplane. He is as
sisted in by a steward. In uniform,
and assigned to a comfortable
seat within the big. roomy cabin.
After all passengers are aboard,
the pilot, in uniform, and the me-
chanic, who also can handle the
| ship. and likewise in uniform, en-
| ter with hats in hand, walk di-
rectly TO the cockpit. close the
door, and that's the last that is
seen of them. The entrance door
| to the cabin is secured, and the
engines roar. The big plane rum
bles across the ground. and soon
/ the roughncSS of the initial move
ment of the ship ceaseS--it is IN
! the air. The steward stands at
the head Of the cabin, and, as the
ship gets it's desired altitude. he
approaches the passenger nearest
him and asks him to please step
back to the rear of the cabin and
sign the logbOok.
To the person who is making
his first fight. this is something
pretty great-to walk about in a
flying airplane. But. as he was
told to do so he believes his move
mentS won't overbalance the
plane and cause it to crash. He
signs the book. Any fear that
may have crept in is gone by now
Then the next passenger signs
the book, and so on. after which
the steward again makes the
rounds to inquire if any of the
passengers is experiencing Symp-
toms Of air sickness. If there are
any. he escorts them to a little
room in the rear. where reStora-
tives, or. rather. preventives, are
applied.
Bv this time the plane is over
Lincoln Park. and the steward,
like the rubber neck-wagon
barker" begins to point out the
sights of interest. All the time
the pilot keeps the ship on even
keel. banks are gentle, climbs are
gentle and glides are gentle. At
last the ship returns TO the air
port. at a time when enjoyment
is at the maximum. AS the pas
Sengers file out. that uniformed
ticket seller. who caught the pas
sengers' names as they signed for
the flight before entering the
plane. addresses each by name,
hands him a little packet con-
tanning a card signed by an off,
cial of the company, which sig
nifies that John Doe" has made
the fight he just finished. Also
there is a descriptive booklet of
what the passenger saw Tor
should have seem on the trip.
Compared with the barnstorm-
ing gypsy. vino did his own flying

TIME non-fiyer, or rather the
non pilot, who at the same
time is interested in the
4 development of aviation, is
rapidly pushing to the forefront
in commercial aeronauticS, and
soon. if it is not already a fact
his business acumen and inge~
nuitv will rule in aviation IN
America as well as the other
countries of the world.

rarely denied, is temperamental'

gest. recommend or give orders
on matters pertaining to aero
nauticS. Some had no grounds
for attempting to dictate on a
subject that they were not as ia
miliar with as the men who ride
the airwavs. Some still are as
suming a little too much respon-
sIbility when they tell flyer how
to fly.
But that goes for the mechan-
ics Of the thing The business
man interested in aeronautics
knows that a pilot can take a ship
of the ground filled with a pay

bring a profit for its transporta-
ton. Proflt-that'S ali the bust
ness man sees, good and better

about inches. Without warning the
seaplane appeared to rock forward onto

out of the water to q height Of about
10 feet. During this Jump the seaplane

The peculiar behavior of the plane
was brought about in the course OF

Shortly after coming to Washington

was beyond the age limit for pilots

has acquired more than 500 hours In

single-seaters and has utilized the air
