It favor of Germany was visible; which treated our prisoners far better than other Powers and which, alone among all our foes, demonstrated herself a nation of culture. "The union of power which caltf. itself the league of nations, if it be came a fact and is able to assert Itself any length of time, will be nothing but an epitome of Anglo-Saxon world domination which would absolutely control the highest markets." .

Top to Wmm they are: Dou- Aviation's chiuf appeal to public support nowadays is as a potential factor in the cost of livtng. A new but thriving transortatlon system of al tnuat unlimited poasibilitles Is at our door, and any laws to regulate avia tion should be based upon an appre ciation of this fact. The public does not yet realize the part aviation may play In redlining the prions of the necessities ot life. This lack f understanding Is due to the faot hrt the amazing developments In aerial transportation were made under .the stimulus of war end were rlKldly censored. During the conflict in Europe, the period of greatest progress in aviation, the public conception of an airplane or a dirigible was a terrible instru ment of death, merely one of many methods of extracting retribution from an enemy. Peace has not yet been established long enough to bring a thorough public appreciation of the importance of aerial traffic in eco nomics. . Ouean Has Docn Spanned. . We had scaroely ceased to .marvel over Hawker's spectacular, but pure ly sporting affair, when the United States navy sent an airplane across the Atlantic, and Great Britain emphasiz ed the conquest of the air by span ning the ocean with a dirigible. Some of tho best brains of the world are now at work upon aerial transportation and these brains are not coping with such gigantic problems as the bombing of locusts or the pur suit of trees. What actually Is hap pening is this: The airplane has been found to be a perfectly prr.cticable carrier of food stuffs, especially perishables that re quire rapid -transit. Planes that will carry ten to twelve tons cargo have been constructed in England. Planes with a cargo capacity of about six tons are nvailabile now in the Vnited States. The dirigible owing to the discovery of helium, has even gret ter possibili ties as a foodstuff carrier. When the United States finds it possible to turn over helium in quantity for commer cial use, the whole construction of the dirigible will be revolutionised, both for passenger and freight busi ness. They are the future "liners" of the air. Even the poorest of the airplanes now available to commerce have a speed of 75 to 100 miles an hour. The planes used In the United States matl service are much faster. And one great automobile company is now turning out a piano with an Improved Liberty motor which will do about 140 miles an hour, and, with aerial condi-J tions right, will ever do 160. Against such speed as that all ordinary meth ods of food transportation seem prim itive. - . Cost Is Serious Problem. The cost of operation of the air plane is, of course, a serious problem.. To the bystander aviation seems to be a "millionaire's game." just at it seemed at one time that tho automo bile could be ownod only by the weal thy. But even now the cost of the airplane operation is not much of a handicap in developing a great system of transportation for perishables. The fact that the plane can make two or threo trips to destination and return, while any other transportation vehicle is making one, equalizes to some de gree the discrepancy in operating costs especially where the element of time is as Important as it is in carry ing perishables. This problem of oper ating cost will e solved, Just as every other problem of aerial transport has been overcome. From data at hand now it is evi dent that the diy of the airplane and dirigible is not four or five years in the future, but is now. There is a tem porary lull, due to readjustment in tho commercial situation; but after the leading manufacturers find out exactly where they stand tn their re lations with the government, the avia tion business will go forward under full blast, and the developments will be so rapid aa to bewilder the public. It would be well for Chicago, in its j effort to avert a repetition of the Wing-foot Express" tragedy, to pass I only a few essential laws and leave the general question of regulation of traf fic to the future. There is no Imme diate necessity for aerial traffic cops. What we need is a few simple statutes to prevent dangerous experimental work above the c ty. ltomedics Are Suggested. Hydrogen gas in dirigibles should be prohibited excepting In restricted areas. "Stunt" flying in airplanes should be allowed only at certain heiuhts if at all. Test flights of any kind should be prohibited; but the matter of determining what is or is not a test flight needs some study. Itegulation of the kind that will en courage aviation, . rather than kill It off. is the problem of all the cities now. If each municipality adopts its own code without regard to the laws passed in other cities, we shall have merely a hodfepodge of local law which the aviators will not respect, and the situation will be worse than ever. A federal air ministry would be the best possible solution. Several Chicago men are well post ed on aviation and capablo of giving valuable adviee In the matter of legis lation. The views of some of these men will be presented later. ' REALTY TRANSFERS Eastern Oroion live mock Co., to V. T. Itenves. I0. V 1-2 US 1-1 soc. 6, Tp. i, N. R. 28. Delia Blackmail to John F.

Five hundred carloads will be ship ped out of the Mllton-Freewatcr dis trict this season, in Mr. Sanderson's estimation.
