Human Element

"Tardily following in the
wake of machine perfection has
come an appreciation of the ex-
ceptiOnal knowledge and expert
ence necessary to construction,
servicing, maintenance and eX-
ceptional human qualities for
operation of aircraft.
"MOst aircraft accidents are
preventable because they are
largely attributable to the dis
regard of the positive or mega
tive influence of value of the
human element"
In the light of this warning
from so able a flight surgeon
as the best American pilots
who fly the colors or the mails
know Colonel Jones to be, it is
not surprising that the pilots
who fly the mails and passen-
gers as well are demanding
better protection for their call
ing than they are now getting.
Although Colonel Jones is con-
cerned primarily with safe
guarding the physical fitness
of military pilots, his warning
applies also to commercial
pilots.
Commercial pilots are charged
with the responsibility in peace
of flying passengers and the
mails. Their maxim is "Sched-
ule with Safety" Only by safe
guarding their own physical
fitness can they discharge their
twofold responsibility of trans
porting the mails on time and
passengers with safety.
But commercial pilots, espe-
cially the airline pilots, also
are part of the air reserve Of
our national defense. Many Of
them hold reserve officers
commissions.

physical fitness of these pjPts

follow his dreams. They didn't.
His courage called their bluff.
A tough rap, that! A hard
beating to take for ones dream.
He was a man as well as a god,
and a poet as we'll as a man.
How often, after dusty, driven
days, He must have longed for
the lovely peace Of twilight
courts and tinkling waters! How
often He must have sickened of
the coarseness, the malice, and
ingratitude of the hysterical
mob which followed at His
heels! How often He must have
shrunk from that dark and cer-
tain ordeal which lay ahead,
and have thought, desperately,
of the safety and power which
might be His!
"He saved others; Himself He
could not save!" jeered the mob,
as He hung dying. But He might
have saved Himself at any time.
With such shameful ease He
might have saved Himself from
it all, made of His life a "suc-
cess story"
Nor would He have needed to
commit any violent or dishonest
act. He needed only to do what
so many Successes do-play safe
and sit tight. Mind his own
business" and let the other fel-
low go to the dogs in his own
way. In short, He only needed
to live the life of many a Model
Citizen.
BUT THAT WASN'T A
LARGE ENOUGH LIFE FOR
"JERUSALEM SLIM"
He couldn't, as He saw it, pass
up the big chances, the tall obli-
cations. So He chose the harder
way, served His time and took
His rap. And today, in the dark
places of the earth, broken men
call Him Jerusalem Slim" in
grateful comradeship-because
He, too, understood darkness,
and faced it for all men.
And often and often when
I'm against it-when I'm Won
dering if I can stand my par
ticular rap any longer-I re-
member that. Sometimes it
seems so useless, even so wrong,
to try to do the decent, un-
usual thing. Not that I've ever,
in. all my selfish life, come
even within shouting distance
of Jerusalem Sims perform
ance. But-you know how it is
we all have those reckless
yens to Go Noble. And when
we do. what a panning we get!
Then, when that panning
starts, I wonder if it was worth
while. It's so easy to live safe
and soft, and duck the hard
placeS-there are a thousand
ways of saving ones face. Does
it pay to throw it all aside and
take the big chances, knowing
they'll laugh and spit at you,
knowing all you'll have to pay?
He thought it was!
THEN IF HE COULD TAKE

would imperil not only the de-
velopment of Am eric n air
transport as an industry but
also the effectiveness of vital
arm of the national defense.
Neither of these considera-
tions appears to have been
given sufficient consideration
in the formulation of the pro-
posed code offered by the air
transport industry for the ap-
proval of the National Re-
covery Administration.
This is why the Airline
Pilots Association, of which
David L. Behncke is the presi-
dent, is protesting the proposed
code on several grounds. The
pilots represented in this as
sociation are deeply mindful of
the tremendous responsibility
resting upon them as they fly
the great transport planes by
night and day. up and down
the airways of the nation. They
fly through all kinds Of
weather. Theirs is a short,
active life.
These airline pilots start
their flying training in the
Army between the ages OF 20
and 25. They are ready for a
first pilots position at about
80. They must prepare to re-
tire from flying at an age
varying from 35 to so years,
depending upon the physical
endurance of the individual
pilot.

as a ten-cent string of pearls.
So why get worry-wrinkles try
ing to fasten your clutch on it?
That for which a man really
loves a woman is something
which she never loses and which
never dies-her PERSONALITY.
And personality includes
hundred things besides beauty,
figure and sex-appeal.
After five or six years of
breakfasts together, NO woman
can camp" a man or stir his
imagination by painting a
cupid's bow on her lips and
rubbing mascara on her eyelids.
If, after five years, a man
isn't tied to a woman by all the
bonds of congeniality, under
standing, tenderness, character
and mutual interest, he'll
NEVER be tied to her, and no
beauty specialist can help her!
No matter how young or how
beautiful you are, your husband
will always meet somebody
younger and more beautiful.
But if he loves you, he'll never
meet anybody more companion
able, more interesting to HIM.
Married life should be a happy
adventure together. 1t should
be fun to make a home to-
gether, to travel together, to face
difficulties together and take
chances together.
No woman who is battling to
hang onto her youth with one
hand and clutching her husband
with the other can make life
gay or interesting or exciting or
amusing for a man. And the

women who always hold a mans
love from the altar to the grave
are the good-natured, self-con-
fident, light-hearted wives, who
take their husbands love for
granted.

The United States is now virtually under
dictatorship. AS result Washington has
actually become the hub of the civilized
world and there is not nation on the globe
that is not watching President Roosevelt and
this country to see how the dictatorship UNI
der the present form of government will
work out.
A dictatorship has been brewing for years.
In fact since the American people abandoned
the party system of government and allowed
the legislation Of states and nation to be con-
trolled and enacted by the small organized
minority groups dictatorship doomed.
Until there is restoration of party con-
troll and party responsibility the nation must
have dictator to whip both big and little
business minority groups, labor and capital,
manufacturer and consumer into line, and
see that there is regulation which will not
permit one group to exploit the other.
As long as we have no party control, no
party responsibility and no party leadership,
the only thing which will save this nation
from communism is a dictator. We now have
one.

crease in the potato price comes as a pleas
