AlRLINES INCREASING
PASSENGER PROTECTION
Rv me Associated Press.

The degree of safety being attained
by American air lines is evidenced in
a report of the Department of Com
merce which states that but two per-
sons were killed while riding as pas
sengers in ships engaged in scheduled
operations during the last half Of 1880.
There were % killed in the first half
of the year.
While final reports as to the number
of miles flown in scheduled air trans
port services in the past six months
have not yet been received and an
alyzed, the report says, the department
has conservatively estimated the total
miles flown for that period to be about
100000. This figure represents the
miles flown by all aircraft engaged in
scheduled transportation of mail, ex-
press and passengers. The passenger
mileage estimate for the last half Of
1880 appears to be more than $4,000 900.
Both estimates are slightly higher than
the oficial reports for the first half
of 1890.
