Of whom held private operators

rapidly is becoming airminded.
With a total of 80 licensed and
identified aircraft, Arizona stood in
38th place among other states in
the Union.
The interest taken in a recent
United States Chamber of Com
merce regional aeronautics and traf-
fic convention in Portland conclus-
lively proved that Arizona and 9TH

velopnent of safety in air travel
through use of beacons, air lanes
and weather reports, officials said.
At the Portland conference, Ever
ett Johnson of Yuma, was Governor
Phillips representative, and discus
sed the airplane motor fuel tax.
The larger percentage Of accidents
during 1929 were attributed to op-
orators and not to lack of reliabil-
ity Of planes, it was brought out.
Total crackups due to the former
cause numbered STA per cent of
the total, it was shown.
Only 1902 per cent of airplane
accidents we're attributed to plant
failures while 8.78 per cent were due
to failure of the craft, the report
pointed out.
Weather, for which many acci-
dents generally are blamed was re-
sponsible for only 6.5G per cent while
darkness was given as the reason
for 009 per cent.
Most accidents were assigned to
some cause, the percentage of those
impossible to identify being only
1.41 per cent.
These facts were considered i'm
portant in view of knowledge neces-
sary to prevent recurrance and to
scientifically develop preventatiVes
for similar casualty causes.

many new signs of the life existing
before the glacial period.
Some of these finds may have
dated back to the Pleneolithis age,
it is thought.
A Canadian expedition sent into
the north a few years ago found
that recession OF the Muir glacier
had laid bare prehistoric remains
millions of years old. Petrified trees
were found in the swath left behind
by the slowly moving ice barrier,
and there we're indications that
mammals had once infested the re-

These facts, coupled with the opin-

Some Collapse Under Lash.
The lashings often bring blood from
the backs of the prisoners and there
have been times when the men have
collapsed. For many years there has
been conflict of opinion in Delaware
whether the whipping post should re-
main.
There have been storms of protest
against it by men and women of promi-
hence, while others equally prominent
have commended that the whipping post
is laShing crime out of Delaware.
Those in the first group point out that
80 men were whipped at the post during
1929, an increase Of Is over the previous
year. Ten men were whipped in 1927,
and in 1926, 18. Sixteen took the pun
iShment in 1925. In all cases the whip
ping was accompanied by prison sem
