Weak Flyers Seen
AS Menacing Insects

The race is not always to the strong,
at least not in the case of insects. This
has been determined by the use Of an
insect trap carried on an airplane
operated by the Department of Agricul-
ture. 80 far. it seems that the stronger
flyers. although Influenced CO the ar

directions of travel. are able to CONNIE
themselves to comparatively low alti-
tudes and have rather definite control
over their directions of travel,~ says the
report. THE weaker flyers, however,
are not so successful in offsetting air
currents. and apparently many of them
are carried absolutely as the wind takes
them. Species which never before have
been suspected of being wind-borne
have been caught at great elevations"
As uncomfortable as this may be to the
insect, 1t gives him, as a race, a con-
siderable advantage over his stronger
cousins in his fight against the per-
sistent efforts Of the Government scien-
fists and private farmers to exterminAse

But the day of the "gyp" school is
nearing its end. Through the new
school rating regulations of the De-
partment of Commerce, just being put
into effect, the public will at last be
able to distinguish between the good

tions, authorized by Congress in pass
ing the Bingham bill, are aimed di-
rectly at the INSCRIPTIONS operators
and inexperienced instructors.
To combat the "gyp" school further,
as we'll as to furnish good pilots urgent

big interests in aviation have started
chains of flying schools. using stand

being established by the Curtiss Flying
Service, which will operate 40 or so
