nremiums to fit the individual pilot, sc
as to permit further lowering Of rates
in the case of experienced and capable
pilots, will be discussed by the medica.
section Of the American Life Conven-
ton at a meeting in Washington, be-
ginning May 10.
In fixing the rates the insurance
companies, If the proposed plan is
adopted, will give the individual pilot
the benefit of his experience, skill
physical condition, judgment and free
dom from accidents.
The Medical Committee will have be-
fore 1t for discussion preliminary re.
port of an Aviation Committee which
| has been at work since last october
and which recommends that points tt
be considered in fixing rates for insur-
ance of the airplane pilot should in
clude experience, type OF flying license
moral and mental condition, physical
rating, efficiency, safe or unsafe meth
DDS of flying and accident record. Other
points to be considered in future under.
writing should include type of aircraft
! flown, class of flying, terrain flown over
field and technical service involved
number of hours in the air by day anc
night and the kind of supervision under
which the pilot works.
The committee indicated that the
ful and experienced pilots may be able
to purchase life insurance at normal
rates, though it holds in its preliminary
report that there are very few pilots
at the present time" who could qualify
for the normal rate applied to Office
workers and others who lead sheltered
lives.
The pilot who has reputation for
being careful, backed by a good, record
| should be able to buy insurance at q
lower rate than another pilot of equal
experience who is more prone to take
chances, the committee believes. The
method Of rating pilots principally upon
the hours in the air and their crash
records, without evaluating the other
and more personal elements, the COM
mittee believes, has neither been salts
factory in its results to the companies
nor as advantageous as it should be tc
the pilots who are more cautious.
The committee suggested the creation
Of a clearing house Of pilot information
in the National Capital. Only three OF
crate the ONCE, and it was recommended
that arrangements be made with the
Department of Commerce for access tc
| information regarding the records Of
individual pilots applying for insurance

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S TRAVELS By Jan

I'm the night of November
~ 3, 1853, Washington was
glad to see his friend, Lord Fair
fax, ride unexpectedly into camp
at Wills Creek, now c Cumberland,
Maryland, on U. S. Route so. The
titled Old Britisher had come to
spend the night with the boy
who was about to plunge into the
wilderness on doubtful mission.
AS they sat in silence before a
cracking fire, rain and snow fell
outside their shelter. At last, the
old lord. knocking the ashes from
his pipe, remarked: "Dinwiddie
was a fool to send a boy on a
| mission like this" Washington
said nothing.

cessities of life but also whatever So
called luxuries they may desire. The
more money they earn-the more
money they will spend, which is for
the best interests of industry as a
whole.--Joseph P. Ryan, president of
the international Longshoremen's s
Association.
Six-Day Weekly the institution
of the six-day week we have created
ID per cent additional regular runs
for train service men, thus taking up
the slack on the extra lists and saw

accomplishment.-Union Leader, Off
cial journal for Chicago of the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees of Amer
let.
Wage Cutting Employers. - Wage
cutting below prevailing and estab-
lished levies should be as absolutely
and unqualifiedly prohibited as chattel
slavery now is, and the punishment
of the employer who fails to observe
the prevailing wage-standard princi-
pie should be so swift and severe that
no employer could afford to violate
such law.-International Engineer,

THEY SAY

Wages.-The way to economic bet
terment is through improved wage
standards and shorter work days and
work weeks. We need distribution of
created wealth to free the wheels of
industry, and distribution for the
masses can only come through wages
--Bricklayer, Mason and Plasterer
official journal of the Bricklayers,
Masons and Plasterers' international
Union of America.
Unemployment.-The cost of main
tanning the unemployed is national
charge. 1t should be borne out of
national taxation in the form Of a
special unemployment levy on all in
comes whether earned or derived
from interest and profit-Arthur
Hayday, chairman of the British
Trades Union Congress General
Council
Wage Cuts-Failure of purchasing
power to keep pace with productive
capacity has been proved to be one
of the underlying causes of the de-
preston. When labor resists en-
croachment upon it's buying power it
has the support of economic laws.
Thus far workingmen have been con-
tent to reason about the problem, but
if wage slashing becomes the rule,
labor will no doubt make use of the
most effective weapons within its
reach. The best interests of the whole
country demand that far-sighted busi-
ness and industrial leaders avert such
a alamity.-Bridgem Magazine,
official journal of the international
Association of Bridge, Structural and
Ornamental Iron Workers.
Labor's Buying Power.-It is en-
couraging to note that the majority
of seasoned, trained executives in all
industries are advocating high wages
as one of the essential forces for re-
newed prosperity, as it is an acknowl-
edged and undisputed fact that a
country can only be as prosperous as
the conditions of the working class of
that country will permit; that the
workers constitute the real buying
power of any nation, and the more
wages they get the more they will
spend in purchasing not only the ne
