FAST TRANSPORTATION,
FAST DEVELOPMENT

1t is difficult, sometimes, to realize
that the world moves so rapidly. We
have become so used to what happens
today that we are liable to forget what
it was like 10 years ago. Aviation is
case in point-cOmmercial aviation.
Ten years ago there were no regularly
operated commercial air-mail and pas
senger carrying air lines
Airplanes were something 10 years
ago in which the public had not much
confidence Today they are an accepted
mode of transportation, just as are rail-
roads and motor cars.
Six years ago, in 1880, airplanes flew
95,OOO,OO0 passenger miles. In 1885
they flew 313,41O,56O passenger miles.
In 1880, airmail totaled 100000
pounds. In 1885 airmail totaled more
than 100000 pounds. In 1880, air ex-
press poundage was 286,000. In 1885 it
was 3,814,O00. What the figures will be
in another 10 years, nobody can say.
Private initiative is not entirely dead,
for most of this development was ac-
complished by private initiative.

POLITICS WITHSTANDING,
RECLAMATION IS NEEDED

1t is fortunate, perhaps, that a presi-
Dental election year has thrown the
light of controversy over the tragedy OF
midwestern drought Politics or no,
America will find it necessary eventual
lv to undertake reclamation projects IN
the dread basket of America the
great plains of the middle and north
west. Drought there has been so recur-
rent during recent years that 1t has
come to be the expected thing. Because
of it, soil has been depleted and thou
sands rendered penniless.
It is not a situation that defied the
ingenuity of man. 1t is tragedy that
can be overcome The midwest can fol
low the example of the west with good
results-and the national leaders are
coming to recognize that fact. The ma
ior political parties have, in fact, rec
ognized the need for action-but the
dangerous thing is that they may at
tempt to make drought prevention a
political rather than an economical
necessity.
Storage reservoirs on rivers of the
drought area will do much to help. The
present administration has turned the
necessity for relief in the middle-west
to advantage by putting pennlless farm
ers to work on minor storage projects.
The Republican partys candidate has
admitted the need for "dikes and stor-
age facilities" in the area, and is pledged
to support their realization. A belt of
trees planted across the continent-a
gigantic undertaking-may do much to
alleviate loss of soil through dust
storms.
The drought of this year and past
wears may not be entirely tragic if they
bring about in the future means for
preventing other droughts.

THERE ARE NO
UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENTS

Scarcely day passes that the news
papers do not carry headline descrlD-
ing a coroner's verdict of unavoidable
accident" in some fatal highway mishap.
A majority of Imperial Valleys fatali-
ties on the highways are closed by that
terse verdict. Yet what mlsnomer 1t
is!
There are no unavoidable accidents.
When a coroner's jury returns verdict
of unavoidable accident" it means IN
reality that there is no negligence sui
ficient to warrant prosecution IN the
courts. 1t would be wrong, even, to say
that such cases do not involve criminal
negligence-bu the fact of criminal neg
ligence and the courtroom proof or
criminal negligence are two different
things. Yet, when a motorist allows the
mechanism of his machine to become
so in disrepair that it may involve him
in an accident, possibly in fatal accl-
dent, who is there to say that ne is not
actually guilty of criminal negligence!
His only stroke of luck is that it would
be impossible to convict him under pres
ent laws.
Every accident that has ever happen
ed on the highways of the United States
could have been prevented. II a tire
blows out if wheel comes off, if brakes
fail to hold, if lights blind an oncoming
driver, if tires skid on wet pavement
it could have been prevented. Meticulous
inspection of mechanical details of the
motor mo car, coupled with utterly safe
driving on the part of every motorist,
would eliminate accidents which are not
acts of God-and it is seldom a noun
tain falls on an automobile, or it is
struck by lightning. Somewhere. al
ways, there is blame for every accident.
There is a psychology in the term,
unavoidable accident" which is not
healthy for the average American motor
ist. 1t might be a worthy endeavor for
the various safety organizations to un-

HOLLYWOOD, July %. U.R)-
Suspicion is growing in this vii
lagc that a sea serpent reported
in Malibu Lake, small body OF
water in the Santa Monica noun
tains given over to a few dozen
fish and Sir Guy Standing, may
be none other than Louis B.
Meyers lost hippopotamus.
The serpent" was reported by
a somewhat tipsy tripper, who
said it poked a head about the
size Of a second vice presidents
desk out of the water beside his
row boat, yawned, and said
"Whoosh!7 He described it as a
snub-nosed, snaggle-toothed critter
with small, maleVOlent eyes.
When Standing, president of the
Malibu Lake club, was apprised
Of the Serpent story ne snorted
as effectively as any hippo could
hope to do.
Nonsense" he said. There are
no sea serpcnts in Malibu, True,
there are a few wild boars and a
Hyena. Paramount lost them
while making Lives Of a Bengal
Lancer but l can vouch for the
absence Of sea Serpents."
1t wasn't until someone recalled
the sinking Of Mr.. Mayors hip
popCtamus that investigators felt
they might be getting somewhere.
Actually, the hippo may not have
been Mr.. Mayors very own, al
though it was purchased with 10,-
900 shiny Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer
dollars, back in the days when
you could hardly enter a theater
without hearing Johnny Weiss
muller whoOp his unearthly "Tar-
zan" yell.
One Of the junior geniuses Of
Mr.. Mayors private brain trust
conceived the hippo idea to add
zest to Weissmuller's "Tarzaning," !"
and a fine, healthy specimen was
imported from London by sea and
rail.
1t arrived here on a flat car in
a blue funk, and refused to de-
train until hdsted into a truck
with travelling crane. BY this
time Metro-men were wondering
where TO park their hippo, and
aroused to compassion by its pit
eous means, they decided it need
ed water. Malibu Lake was hit
upon as the only suitable hippo
pond, and TO Malibu it went.
The truck was backed out on a

stamped in gold with the purchasers name 1t
contains among other priceless documents, the
masterful and now historical acceptance ad-
dress made by the president at Franklin Field
