Private Flying Clubs.

The National Aeronautic Association,
through a committee of distinguished
Americans headed by Edward P. War
ner, former Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy in charge of aviation, has launch
ed movement for the establishment of
private flying clubs" throughout the
United States. It's chief contributions
to the plan consist Of lending its name,
prestige and organization to an expert
ment which depends, for its success,
upon the enthusiasm and ability Of
private individuals in learning to fly
airplanes; in obtaining a grant Of $l2,-
900 from the Guggenheim Fund to make
the plan effective at once, and, through
an arrangement with commercial in
surance firm, to provide group insur-
! ance for personnel and equipment In
the flying clubs organized.
In forwarding his check for $4,000,
Harry F. Guggenhein, president Of the
Guggenheim Foundation, writes to SEN
ator Bingham. president Of the National
Aeronautic Association, that the foster
ing Of private flying clubs in the United
States is the greatest single work the
organization can accomplish. He points

days are SUFFICIENT proof of the plair
fact. Changeable, yes, but therefore
pleasing to more persons.
Every type Of resident finds some
days which please him, just as he viii
encounter some which do not, but II
may be asked with assurance: Is there
any city in the United States which
has a better balance of weather condi-
lions, combined with better facilities
for meeting them?
Southern resorts which bask in sun
shine in Winter are VIGOROUSLY Ill
equipped to cope with sudden drops in
temperature, which occur even there,
although the official publicity man men
tions the fact but seldom. And there
is something monotonous in uninter-
rupted fine weather.
Changeable weather is one OF the
city's great boons, since extremes are
always changed for the better accord
ing to the needs of the moment.
Changeable weather stimulates the
mind as perhaps no long stretch OF any
one brand can. After all, life is COM
posed of sunshine and shadow, and
weather conditions which mirror the
changes of the human mind, heart and
soul more nearly fit in with human ma
ture.
Washington weather is human
weather, the sort of weather men live
by, the type of weather which brings
out the various faculties of mind ana
heart, and makes life better. Washing
ton is a clean, healthy city, and the
changeable weather is one of the factors
which keep it so.

Welcome, Mr.. cDonald !

The United States has not yet been
officially notified of Premier Mac
Donald's plans to visit this country, but
official occasion has been taken to
let 1t be known that he will be cordially
received II he comes. At the White
House yesterday it was made known
on President Hoover's behalf that the
new chief Of the British cabinet will
be warmly welcomed both by the Amer
lean Government and the American
people.
At the Executive Offices it was stimuli
taneouSly explained that Gen. Dawes
will be arriving in London at the end of
this week and be in position to con-
fer with the Prime Minister on any
arrangements which Mr.. Macdonald
may have in mind. 1t can hardly be
doubted that Gen. Dawes will land In
Britain with formal and fervent assur-
ances that a hospitable sojourn awaits
the Labor leader In Washington If he
decides to honor us with his presence.
1t is as fascinating a juxtaposition of
events as could easily be imagined-this
impending initial contact between the
new British premier and the new Amer
lean Ambassador to the Court of ST.
James. Gen. Dawes holds uncommonly
strong views on the urgency of an
Anglo-American naval understanding
He also takes advanced ground on the
possibility Of achieving it, once both
governments are minded to scrap tech
nicalities in favor of common sense
There is ample evidence that Mr.. Mac
Donald views the situation through
spectacles of the same color. They
should have relatively little difficulty in
seeing eye to eye and paving the way
for the premier's trip to America.

out that private club flying, which has
made great strides in England, has beer
practically neglected in this country,
but believes the United States can offer
greater opportunity than any other
country for development.
The organization of the clubs, whose
membership, 1t is advised, should be
limited to about thirty members, con-
sists merely in the purchase Of plane
and the raising of fund, through dues
and initiation fee, as reserve and for
operating expense. After the members
have engaged suitable instructor, who
would probably be among the founders,
they make use of the club plane for
learning to fly or for the recreation it
affords.
The advantages of the formation of
large number of such organizations
lie in thus bringing practical aviation
home to the civilian population; teach
ing them not only the rudiments of a
new science, but making them familiar
with the actual manipulation of air.

plan is its relative simplicity and ap-
peal-the actual establishment of Fly
ing clubs" for recreational purposes In
a country which only recently ceased
craning its neck in awesome curiosity
whenever it heard the roar of a planes
motors. This Is probably the surest and
the quickest way to reach that state
of national -mindedness" upon
which the development of popular avia-
ton depends. Within few short years

Advocates Repeal
Of Useless Laws

From the Chicago Daily News.
In the various States the Legislatures
now closing up their sessions and adj
journing have enacted many statutes,
but 1t is safe to say that few old and
useless or even harmful laws have been
repealed by them. Consider, for exam
pie, the disgraceful conduct of the Illi-
nois Legislature, which is about to ad-
journ after having refused pointedly
to repeal either the Small immunity law
or the Grove law prohibiting the nam
ing of special prosecutors IN times of
manifest need.
Gov. Byrd of Virginia, one of the able,
vigorous and independent State execu-
tives, has made the pertinent suggestion
that the Legislature of every Common
wealth in the Union be called together
in special session for the sole purpose,
expressly stated In the call, of over
hauling the statute books and repeating
every law that has outlasted the condi-
tons which dictated its enactment or
that ought to be wiped out for any other
reason.
That there are. many such obsolete or
injurious statutes everybody recognizes
That 1t is difficult TO get rid Of them at
an ordinary session is equally well
known. The experiment proposed by
the Virginia executive Is worth trying,

There is little expectation in New York

would rather remain in the metropolis

A repeal session would focus the atten-
ton of the whole State upon the mega
tive task of clearing and strengthening
out Q deplorable mess of statutory am
biguities, inconsistencies, absurdities
and rascalities.
Gov. Byrd should set an example to
his fellow governors by calling a session
of the Virginia Legislature for the bene-
ficial purpose in question.

and Ernest Lundeen, former member

Lundeen was elected to the House in
1916 as a Republican, but was succeeded
two years later by Mr.. Newton. The
race for the Republican nomination was
very close, with three candidates in
the field. Arch Coleman, former post
master of Minneapolis, was regarded as
dictate he lost to the lieutenant governor
by scant 1872 votes. The fifth district
is usually strongly Republican. Newton
carried 1t by some $4,000 votes the last
time he ran, but that vote is far in
excess of the normal Republican
strength in the district. it is said. How
much bitterness has grown out Of the
primary contest remains to be seen. But
the Republicans confidently expect to
carry the district on election day.
