Safety In Aviation

Ever since the Wright brothers first pushed their
kite-like contraption into the air a quarter of a century
ago, the ordinary man has had a very deeply ingrained
fear of aerial travel.
In the early days, of course, that fear was perfectly
justified. Flying then was extremely risky. But the
fear has persisted, even though airplanes have been
developed UNNECESSARILY. Even today it is fairly wide
spread-kept alive, probably, by the occasional reports of
airplane accidents.
How greatly is this fear justified? The best way to
find out is to look at what happens when competent
pilots get together to put up-to-date planes through their
PAGES. The recent National Air Races were such an oc-
casion. What happened?
First Of all, there were many military planes present
SO from the army, II from the navy, and II from the
marine corps. All of these planes flew every day for
eight days, performing intricate maneuvers, en- .lging in
military stunts, flying in close formation-putting planes
and pilots to the severest possible tests.
No military flyer was killed or injured in this work.
There was only one accident, and the two flyers involved
escaped unhurt.
Then there were races for civilian flyers. Fully $50
men and women pioted planes in these events, which in
cluded cross country flying, straight-away dashes and an
endless series of spirits around a five-mile course. These
were perhaps the most dangerous events imaginable. Day
after day planes shot along, a scant 100 feet off the
ground, at speeds ranging from $50 to 24O miles an hour.
But once again there were no fatalities. One plane was
destroyed by fire; its pilot escaped with his parachute.
Lastly, there were the out and out stunt flyers, who
went up half a dozen times a day, putting their planes into
positions that would have been certain death a dozen
years ago. And again there were no fatalities. There
were not even any accidents or injuries.
The National Air Races, taken as a whole, seem to
provide a pretty good answer for the fears of the man on
the ground. They seem to have proved pretty clearly
that given a good plane and a good pilot flying can be
about as safe a pursuit as any man could ask.

Those Who Can Help

Reports from Washington disclose that the people
with money are getting nervous now that President
Hover's national unemployment relief committee, headed
by Walter Clifford, is getting under way.
This is interesting in the light that such a small part
of the unemployment relief money during last winter was
furnished by the gentlemen with the most wealth.
At the same time reports emanate from Washington
that congress may boost inheritance and gift taxes to meet
our national deficit. This again, is directed at the man
with money. In these days of national and international
depression the man with money is about the only one who
can help conditions. Until he does something about it, it
Is likely that nothing will be done.

They have gone to the night

of floor-show entertainers. Rarely
do the newcomers to the sidewalks

acts In which two, three and more
instruments are used. Several three

blind girl.
Furthermore, they have figured
out crowd centers and arrange TO be

times. They do not fiddle on q

they show up at given points with

Not infrequently, the more pros

use the dear-old-fiddle identified
with wandering street singers for
many q day, most OF them keep
their music up to the minute. They
have shiny-looking accordions,
well polished saxophones, guitars
and banjos. Their tunes are right
out Of the music show hits. Their
pace through the crowd is measured,
patterned after the various Hawaii

Then, too, there are tales Of smart
