The point seems to be that when he catches a fish, he ought to have caught it in some other way. We rather incline to the view that he's fortunate to catch it at all. Last week the assistant secretary of commerce for avia tion told the Ohio liar association that representatives of five large railroads had already been in conference with him for some time considering supplementing their rail passen ger service with air passenger service. Marked progress in that direction, he believes, will be made within a year. One large express company has made definite plans for carrying express by air. The carrying of passengers obviously is imminent, and the railroad lines are wise to consider avia tion as;- supplementary' means'. oM'ransporlation instead of as a rival to be fought. A decade ago the American public was accustomed to see ding marching young people. They were young inen going to .war, to kill and be killed. Not long ago, in Cleveland, citizens saw 10,(1(10 young marcheis. These were boys and girls, tJ'oung men and women, representing the Christian Endeavor societies of the whole country. There was nothing sad about , their parade. In gay costumes, with waving banners and bal doons, these young people marched and sang as they marched. , During the days til' their convention they attended nioel dilgs and listened to addresses calling them to serve Clod and' .country, and to servo their country by promoting peace, by liiitelligenl participation in government, by obedience to law; by interest in facing and solving national problems: j The elders who deplore the ways of our modern youth have jfew grounds forlheir fears.
