Regulation of Pilots

Discussion Of the fatal apne accidents which recently
brought tragedy several Washington homes has raised the
question whether regulations governing pilots
passenger transport aircraft particularly to hours
sufficiently drastic
The Department Of Commerce regulations prescribe that
transport pilot may fly than 110 hours month and
that he shall not fly than eight hours in 2hour
period.
survey Of regular air lines operating of Washington
reveals that they doing much better by their pilots than
they are required to do under the regulations.
Passenger pilots nonma carrying lines fly only about
four hours out of "a and given day off every five
days
Transport pilots are given thorough physical examinations
a least every six months and required to high
test before they have their flying certificates renewed
In addition to these periodical examinations the slightest
accident calls for another immediate physical examination
Physical equipment Of the companies is examined
more rigidy Each plane is gone after every trip and
then more thorough inspection is made every night At
short intervals the planes completely overhauled
Another point which has been raised is whether pilots
paid when they do not fly The Of flying has nothing
to do with pay except lines flying mail On purely passen
ger carrying lines pilots paid stipulated salary weekly
and it makes difference in the salary whether they fly
100 hours not at ALL On the mail lines however pay
based mileage.
The Department of Commerce regulations adopted
after exhaustive tests and apparently the Government deems
them to be sufficiently drastic The local companies certainly
not open to criticism when they keep well within the
restrictions.

thought and emotion. But they
use them differently-that's all.
However. that's PLENTY!
Women act differently, not be-
cause they ARE different from
men, but because they have
LIVED DIFFERENTLY. Since
society began. to get going, men
have lived organized lives. wom-
en- have lived unorganized lives.
Men have been forced to act,
not as they wished to act, but
as the tribe needed to have them
act. Always they had to think
of the tribe. of the effect OF
their acts. of what the tribe
would do to them if it didn't
approve their acts.
Tribe-Minded Men
So men came to be TRIBE
MINED; came to think AB-
STRACTLY rather than PER
SONALLY. .
But women did not live in
or for the tribe. They lived
in and for themselves and their
families. The only authority
they recognized was that Of the
Old Man, and if they were
smart gals they soon put him
in his place. No matter how
stupid or cowardly or selfish
a man was, he had to think
in terms of the tribe. But the
woman thought Of life in terms
Of the home, in terms Of the
individual.
A man had to face tribe COM
petition, tribe criticism, tribe
tradition, tribe punishment. A
woman faced none Of these
things. BY a few simple shin
anniganS she could easily wear
the pants in her own domicile
and establish her own laws.
So men and women, with
exactly the same intellectual
and emotional resources, de-
veloped entirely different tech
niques, to meet the needs Of
their different environments.

Friends Of People
Hated by Privilege"

The privileged element re-
serves it's most bitter hatred
for men, Of this type. Jeffer-
son was hated with veno.
NOUS hatred because he
stood for the people against
his own class in Virginia
when he fought to tear down
those pillars Of feudalism-
the laws of primogeniture
and entail. Brandeis' brain
qualified him to take his
place with the great law
yers constituting the bull
wark of the defense of priv"
lege in the courts. He ig-
nored his intellectual quail
fication for that service to
serve mankind. Such men
are considered Of low and
vulgar taste in some quart
erS.
And so they said he did
not possess the Judicial

temperament" whatever
they meant by that. What
they really had in mind was
this-that he did not believe
that the Supreme Court was
designed to make a mockery
of democracy. Being a man
of acknowledged integrity,
no one feared that he would
predicate his. opinions on
anything other than the law;
but the Supreme Court has
a vast latitude in its inter
pretations of the law. Some
jurists seek to interpret
doubtful laws in the interest
Of privilege, and others in
the interest of the public.
Brandeis is Of the latter
class. Such men are "dan-
gerous. He acts upon the
theory that human rights
are as sacred as property
rights-and such people are
impossible. "
We shall never forget our
first view Of Brandeis. He
was appearing before a Con-
gressional committee in the
interest of the oppressed, the
despised. His then slight
frame, his pallid thin face,
his corrugated brow so
reminiscent of Rufus Choate,
his remarkable eyes that
seemed brooding on the
miseries of the unfortunate,
made an indelible impress
sion. Here was a truly
great man-no doubt Of that.
Combinations of brilliant
minds and humane hearts
are all too rare. The rea-
son is that most brilliant
minds are concentrated on
pushing their own fortunes,
and Brandeis, all his life,
has been intent on pushing
humanity ahead.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson.

And from that perfectly nat
ural development of different
techniques has come this silly
notion of woman's mystery.
But there is no mystery.
Men and women WANT to do
exactly the same things. Take

trum. Watch any little girl,
any little boy. Little boys cry
as easily as little girls. Throw
things just as furiously. But
from the first, little boys are
told that men don't cry"...

his lip and his spine and con-
sumo his own smoke.

Brandeis Beloved
By Common People

It is an interesting week,
too, in that it marks the
seventy-fifth anniversary Of
the birth of Louis Brandeis,
of the Supreme Court, who,
with Justice Holmes, is
closer to the confidence and
heart of the average Ameri-
can than any member Of the
supreme tribunal in genera
tions.
When Woodrow Wilson
nominated him for the post
there was a tmultuous pro-
test from the "wise and the
good.'' Elihu Root, William
Howard Taft and President
Lowell, of Harvard, repre-
senting the old FederaliSt
concept of government,
signed protests against his
confirmation. The reaction
ary press in New York city
was shocked at the effron-
terry of the nomination. A
bitter fight followed, led by
Republicans in the Senate
and out. The Wilson Ad-
ministration stood like Gil
braltar, and he was con-
firmed.
This opposition to the con-
firmation Of a real Demo
crat, holding to the Jeffer-
sonian concept that govern
ments are instituted for the
benefit of humanity and not
as subordinate agencies Of
a privileged few, was not
based on any denial OF his
genius as a lawyer. That
would have been too alb
surd. Some objected to him
because he is a Jew, but
these, as usual, fought that
battle under a mask. The
unforgivable sin, in Bran
deis, was that, possessing
genius as a lawyer and
capable Of commanding
enormous fees in the service
of powerful exploiting forces,
he had the bad taste to rep
sent the interests Of the pub
lie in some notable litigation.
Had he not dared speak out
for the children in the Law
renee mills, forced to pay
for the cool water they
drank at work?

Brandeis;; Laughing
At Starvation
BY Claude G.. BOpers-

This is an interesting week
for America. In a few days
Signor Grandi, the Italian
minister Of foreign affairs,
will be here to continue the
international conversations
in Washington. Young,
brilliant, powerful and gra-
cious, he is fascinating as an
individual. Like Laval, his
is not an inherited greatness.
His distinction is not against
the background of an ances-
trail castle. He rose from
the soil. After Mussolini,
he looms larger in the eyes
Of the world than any other
representative of the Fascist
experiment. Many look to
him for the ultimate success
sion.
He comes to discuss arma-
ments. Incidentally, he will
be quite as willing as Laval
to consent to further reduce
tions or the cancellation of
the debts. He comes in the
interest of his country and
he will concede nothing
detrimental to Italy. That
is the reason he is a great
Italian.

Real Danger
of Starvation

At which Senator Herbert
of Rhode Island and Senator
Glenn of Illinois, the Repub-
lican members of the COM
mittee, threw back their
heads-and "chuckled." "
Whereupon Senator Wag-
ner, Democrat, broke in:
Starvation may be a
laughing matter to you
Senators, but it is no laugh
ing matter to the unem-
plOyed."
This illustrates what we
have been trying to convey,
that there are two types of
mind, and two schools of
political thought.
The incident illustrates
the reason the Administra-
ton was responsible Tor the
unprecedented displacing of
Wagner, author of the reso-
luton, from the chairman
ship of the investigating
committee on insurance,
with Senator Herbert, to
whom starvation is a laugh
ing matter.
There IS danger of starva-
tion; and if there isn't,
there is no occasion for ap-
pealing to the people for
funds.

So many roads that wind

When just the art of being
kind,
Is all this old world needs. "
And it needs it particu-
larly in government in these
days of human misery. For
years, with a brief interlude,
we have been acting upon
the theory that the humani-
ties are mere sentimental
ties, and have no place in the
functioning Of the Federal
Government. We have made
property everything, and hu-
manity nothing. We have
legislated for the powerful
few, and let the many go un-
noticed. Some of this has
been mere thoughtlessness,
much has been design, more
has been due to the inability
of men in lofty station to
sympathize with the masses.
