Alva Sole, first legion member to
solo and for two terms president of
the club, now is assistant superin-
tendent of the United States Airmail
Service, Post Office Department
Others have gone into the air trans
port business. One is in the Bureau
of Air Commerce, Commerce Depart
ment: several are engaged in COM
mercial aviation and a number are
continuing flying as private pilots.
Legion members have figured promi-
nently in every air meet in the Wash
ington area during the past seven
years.
The pioneer leaders Of the local
legion, among them Sole, John Arthur
Shaw and Ted Waggy, conceived the
idea of a national organization of
Air Legions early in the career of the
local body and worked hard to build
up the idea.
Il did not realize how well we had
built" said Shaw, now vice chairman
of the National Employment Commit
tee of the Disabled Veterans of the
World War and former Department of
Labor official. until the Summer of
1882, when l made a swing around the
circle for the Labor Department and
found Air Legions here and there, just
organized by young men who wanted
to learn to fly on cooperative basis.
Nearly every other State in which
I stopped on my travels between the
East and West coasts had their Air
Legions. Just recently one was or
ganized by a group of actors in Holly
wood, and while I was in my home
town of Providence. R. l., last Summer
I found that one had been organized
there"
Waggy was elected president of the
new National Association of Air Le-
gions at a meeting at the Willard
Hotel here during the past week. 1t
will be the purpose of the association
to coordinate the activities Of the
scattered private flying clubs and to
stimulate flying as a sport.
Organization of the new national
group, following the recent organiZa-
ton here of the National Intercolle-
giate Flying Conference, having for its
purpose the promotion of flying ac-
tivities in the Nations colleges and
universities, is an indication of in
creasing interest in aviation as rec
reation and sport for the layman.

Post Office Department officials are
awaiting confirmation of persistent
rumors that American Airlines. hold
ers of eight existing airmail contracts,
have taken over or are about to take
over operation of Central Airlines
holder of the Post Office Department
contract for airmail service between
Washington and Detroit.
I'VE have heard rumors that such
a move was in progress said Charles
P. Graddick, superintendent Of the
Airmail Service, Post Office Depart
ment. but there has been nothing
official to either confirm or deny
them"
Graddick said that in view of sec
tions of the new airmail laws dealing
with mergers of airmail companies
and with the operation of parallel
mail and passenger lines he believed
that a ruling on the legality Of any
merger such as that rumored prob
ably will be necessary.
If any such merger is contem-
plated" he explained, "the COM
panies involved will be required to
submit their merger plans to the Post
Office Department for approval
Owing to the fact that any merger
of this character might come withir
the scope of sections of the present
airmail law and the new legislation
now pending in the Senate, legal
ruling would seem to be in order"
Graddick indicated that a request
for approval of the rumored merger
would be submitted to the Post Office
Department solicitor and possibly
would go to the controller genera.
for final action.
Central Airlines is one of the new
companies formed last year for the
purpose of bidding on airmail con-
tracts following the cancellation of
all contracts on February 10, 1884.
AS result of successful tests of a
small airplane powered with regu-

Both projects are in line with the

Since Safety-reSponSibi laws are
nationally reciprocal, the addition of
every new State adds to their effective
ness" declared Thomas P. Henry,
president of the national motoring
body. When an offending driver has
been barred from the road in one
safety responsibility State, he is SINH
larly barred from every other State
having this legislation.
Because it removes from the high
ways reckless and irresponsible drivers
without placing any burden on the
cautious majority, the safety response
bility law is effective without being
unduly restrictive. Its effectiveness
has been more than proved, for the
accident record In n-safety-respon-
sibility States last year was more than
twice as bad as in States having such
legislation.
Drivers living in safety-responsi-
bility States will be gratified to know
that they will be protected by this
law when entering the Nations Cap
ital to enjoy its sightseeing and recrea-
tional advantages.
Having proved its worth, the prin-
ciple of safety-responsibility is con-
tinuing to spread throughout the
country. 1t already has been adopted
by five additional Jurisdictions this

not far distant when this life and
property saving law will have Nation

Sea Water Made DrinkabIe :.
 for Halian Army in Africa

ASMARA, Eritrea, East Africa, June 19-A miracle of water is be- ing performed in the Italian East African colonies where tens of thousands of soldiers are massed for a possible expedition into Ethi- opia.
 When the Italian embattled divis- ions first began to land in Eritrea and Somaliland they found water bad and difficult to get. In many sections it was rationed out to them at about a quart a day.
 Water Brought By Boat
 Additional water at first was brought by transport ships and tankers, even from as far away as Naples. Mineral water was carried down for the hospitals.
 Eritrea presented a greater prob lem than Somaliland; the latter colony is trayersed by two rivers. the Scebeh and the Giuba, but the water of the former Is mostly salt ish.
 Distilling Plants Built
 In Massaua, the main port of Eritrea. there is a huge distilling plant to make sea water drinkable. Engineers have also built a huge refrigerating plant to cool 1t.
 In the interior of Eritrea steriliz- ing and potabilizing plants have been installed Two big distilling plants have been erected in Mogad- ishu, the capital and port of Som aliland. Moreover, the Mogadishu aqueduct can now produce 400 cubic meters of water daily.
 Surveillance over the waters of the rivers scebeh and Gluba has also been instituted. The sources of the streams are in Abyssinia. Milf tary authorities are taking no chances on poisoning.
