OREGON, THURSDAY, PE.Cb.MBER 13. 1528. PLODDING The chap who makes a sensation and hursts on our at tention like a meteor is all very well as a subject for litera ture, but it is the steady, unexciting plodder that makes the wheels go 'round.. There isn't anything especially original in that statement, to be sure. P.ut it is called to mind by a consideration of aviation in general and the airmail service in particular. During the last year and a half we have wit nessed any number of highly spectacular flights north, south, east and west. Some of the flyers got through to reap gtry and honor, and some of them did mysteriously out in empty space; but all of them claimed a great deal of at tention. Many of us, no doubt, drew our attitude toward aviation ns a whole from the emotions aroused by these hazardous, long-distance flights. These flights were thrill ing and dangerous; so is all aviation. They were just a bit uncertain; so is all aviation. They were romantic and ex citing; so is all aviation. That is about the way a lot of us look at it. It happens that we're mistaken in this atti tude. The air mail service, spanning the continent and fly ing day and night through good weather and bad, is a living proof of it. While all of these spectacular flights were be ing made, the airmail service pilots were going about their daily routine, plodding steadily ahead without any bright lights or welcoming crowds, developing the science of avia tion to a point where it is safe, reliable and unexciting reducing it from an adventure to a business, and saying nothing about it. We seldom hear of the airmail except when some pilot has an accident. Then, with our mind? colored by the mishaps that attend so many of the "stunt" fligjits, we shake our heads and mutter, "Ah, aviation there's a dangerous calling for you nil right." How dan gerous is it, anyway? Take the route between New York and Cleveland, considered the most hazardous leg of the whole trans-continental lino. For eight years or more this line has seen conlimious service two trips a day, each way, day and night. And how many pilots have been killed on this dangerous route? Just eight! An average" of one a year on the riskiest route in the service, where flights are made in snowstorms, bli.zards, fogs nnd gales, at night lis well as in the daytime. The airmail's great defect, from the standpoint of public interest, is that it is not exciting enough. It is perilously close to becoming routine plodding -which means, of course, that the air has just about been mastered.- While the ocean hoppers have guined the most attention, it has been the airmail that has inside aviation a Serviceable means of transportation. Lo ! UF.D TAI'H AND IDKAS lied Inpc, wlu'ii considered dispassionately, is t lovely thinjr. An Ameriean t'onjvrrssnian, who will have charo of itaval legislation in this session of conpress, feels that n friendly aKrcvoitMit with Kntrland ia both desirable and pos sible, nnd writes to Uir l.iitish prime minister to see if Anwriean and Pritivti !,.wmakers cannot meet Pomcwheiv flnd tlilk it over. The Urilish prime minister writes a cor dial reply nnd sends it to his ambassador in Washington to deliver. The ambassador takes it to our .secretary of state und asks to whom he shall jjive it. The secretary replies that he knows nothing about it; he can't accept it himself, and the ambassador can't give it to anybody else. So the ambassador has to keep it ho ha it yet and the congress man's idea diea n-borning. Maybe it was a bum idea any how. Hut it's too bad it couldn't have been given a trial in stead of simply being choked off by red tape. Ir. John l:.
