 It the first President Roosevelt stirred public interest in crpples by inviting to the White House the social workers conference on depend ent children.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE PRICE
 OF SAFETY.

2 The recent death of IF persons in an airplane accident in Arkansas of the big air liners is of the worst tragedies to hit aviation several and in view of the lack of explanation for the accident it suggests some hidden mechanical trouble which might be remeded only by infinite painsakng before any plane leaves the ground with people.
 In all fairness though, it should be said that this catastrophe in another accents the rapidly proving safety record of arlines and arpanes 1883 total of 19 persons killed air lines. In 193i there were 35 and in 1885 the figure was 23 But air passenger miles the first half of 1885 alone totaled 162858,746, nearly much the 1988O0O79 for all the previous year
 It is epocha that these great air systems could expand to nearly double their activity in three years and yet keep accidents almost stationary The patron age growth has been stimulated by the increasing safety record.
 But this latest tragedy accentuates the indispen- able need for superlavey minute ground safety pre- cautions. Eternal vigilance is the price of safety and it the price of steady continued growth of air trans portation. e%e
