Regardless of any flyer's ability- Lindy has demonstrated the superiority of his there is much lo bo learned, much upon which improvement is necessary. We are at a loss lo understand what contribution to the arUaud science of aviation was made by. the flight of tho )rcnicn. The difficulties encountered were already known. No changes in plane design were tested by crossing the At lantic that could have not been tested otherwise. Success has brought fame and probable fortune In three men but it has brought little lo the world, if we discount the fact that it demonstrated the possibility of a plane to fly west ward to America. And the United States aimy trio did thai. Perhaps the world has no right to question either effort or motive under such curcuni.stanees, but we believe the builder of improved planes, the engineer and scientist who can provide betU-r methods of determining drift and loca tion for ocean flights that contributions of this kind will .attract more busting praise than tho mere accom p.ishment of dangerous flights. Most of us, we believe, are more concerned with making flying safe, practical, and eco nomical for purposes of business and recreation than for the conquering of unknown spaces. day by Prosecuting Attorney Green of. -ItlOfliH he pressed his Investigation Into f llle.iMiuse of tho explosion Hint do- per cent for nnd jssr. than the total payments inciii'ln-r those for permanent improvements.
