With weather report stations close together along the route and with other stations paralleling them but probably 100 miles from the line, a flier can bo warned to land be fore he gets mixed up with a fog. Or he may be toltl that he can safely go over or around a stoim that looms ahead. It is customary to laugh a good deal at official weather bu reau forecasters and to assume that they deal in mere guesses which are more often wrong than right. licporting prompt ly actual conditions in various localities will be .something! (plite different. It won't say a storm is pinbable, but will an- I nounce that tine is raging close at hand and must be avoided somehow. This sort of thing will not only save the lives of air mail pilots, but will work out to the advantage of commeivial aviation by inspiring prospective air travelers with greater confidence in such transportation. As soon as that confidence is well founded there will be no doubt alxmt the success of passenger lines between major points throughout the United States. ' , ; 2 PAIRS TO ,, sj $2.50 .
