In a recent issue of the Atlantic Monthly, Russell Robb^ points out the folly of “taking from the few for the many.” ' , It is a game which has been tried since the world began, but has never yet succeeded. The result is the same as with the man who killed the goose which laid the golden eggs, the source of wealth is destroyed and with it, values and employment. In his article Mr. Robb says: ‘‘It is easy for the public to destroy the value of private property: it is even easy for the public to take property away from the individual, but it seems extremely difficult for the public to take property, or its value, away from individuals, and at the B, F.

It Will Prove Profitable to Any Auto mobile Owner to Search for An swer to Any of Queries— It W ill Save Money. Thomas A. Edison's now famous questionnaire caused a real sensation in practically every part of the coun try. It caused others to send out ques tionnaires, some of them serious, oth ers in a lighter vein. George H. Kub- lin, chief engineer of a big motor car company, has prepared a list of questions for motorists In which he asks a number of questions that every automobile owner should be able to answer. “If you are» an auto mobile owner and cannot answer the questions listed below, It will pay you to get the information as, in all proba bility, knowing the answers will save you a great deal of time arfc money,” says Mr. Kublln. Number of points of lubrication on your car? Give at least three reasons for over heating of engine? Gas and oil consumption per mile? Road speed In miles per hour at which engine will perform most effi ciently and economically? Firing order of cylinders? On average road, driving at a speed of twenty-five miles per hour what distance Is required to bring your car to a dead stop? Driving in high speed on a level road, what Is the lapse of time In sec onds to accelerate from five to twen ty-five miles per hour? What Is the purpose of the various speeds of a transmission?

This report is based on the most trustworthy information obtainable, and a conservative estimate places the mileage flown by these commercial machines In the first six months of the present year at 3,250,000 miles, and In that period there were forty serious accidents in civil flying, the computation not Including accidents to government-owned machines, re sulting In the death of fourteen per sons and more or less serious Injury to fifty-two others. In eighteen of the accidents there were no casualties, the fourteen deaths being charged to ten accidents and the fifty-two Injuries to forty accidents. The report as made public by the In formation Group of the United States Army Air Service enumerates the re quisites for safe flying as six in num ber. They are: 1. A machine sound aerodynamically and structurally. An engine of sufficient power. 3 j A competent, conservative pilot and navigator. 4. Air ports and emergency landing fields sufficiently close together to in sure gliding to safety. 5. Nation-wide weather forecasts spe cialized and adapted to the needs of fliers. 6.

Seventeen were attributed to the pilot, perhaps through carelessness, perhaps Incompetence, perhaps bad judgment, combined with other factors. There is no doubt t{iat a good pilot can guide a poor machine to safety with greater chance of success than a poor pilot can operate a first-class machine. Therefore, at the very top of the list of government needs is placed the ex amination and licensing of pilots. “During the war more than 17,000 young men were trained to fly.
