If a novice in -the, operation of 'n high-powered automobile took his ma Chine out on a stormy day arid raced the car over rough mud-covered roads and met disaster, the public would not blame the automobile. ! Yet men soar into the air In machines of such fra gile, construction that a coniseientious mechanic would bS asharned of them; venture up when there are high winds and come to grief in attempting reck less exhibition ' feats besides which "The Loop of Death' of the thre0-1 ringed circus Is as safe as a Sunday afternoon promenade on Main street.

' acion. in me juiy nuiuuei ui fux lar Mechanics magazine Victor Lough heed, who ranks as an authority on the subjects, shows that much of the responsibility for aeroplane fatali ties Is misplaced. He says: "Men are prone to appraise casualty by Its hor ror rather' than by Its statistics, and the thought of one ndlvidum tumbling from the skies grips harder on tha popular Imagination than the slaugh ter of a few scores In a factory Are, or a million deaths from tuberculosis. Yet 'the . statistical measure Is ob viously the only fair one. This is un wittingly conceded by even the most uncompromising of critics, whose In variable retort to the suggestion that men occasionally meet violent deaths otherwise than by aeroplane accidents Is triumphant citation of the fact that there are more of the other things Incompetently piloted . automobiles, fenderless ' street cars, disregarded danger signals, or what not In use. So be It. For It happens that the chief reason aeroplane accidents are! becoming more frequent and will con tinue to become more frequent, In spite of the definitely Improving safety jof aeroplane travel, is the fact that more aeroplanes are In use." j After summarizing the progress hi aviation, Mr. Louglieed points out that there have been "about one death to leach 60,000 miles of flight, which Statistically, and therefore unpreju dicedly considered proves human flight to be only about l-60th as dan gerous as It was two years ago." The article is well Illustrated. Ai MATTER OF CHOICE, TOM ilill n hi t. ' RE you one of those people who consider the price as , the first essential in buying clothes?
