hine. Aerial service is nowanjstab
lished feature of mail transportation
and a daily passenger service is main
tained between Paris and London.
From the success of the great ma
joritv of these flights and the achieve
ment of the naval planes in crossing
the Atlantic, many persons are looking
forward to an early establishment of
passenger service by air between
points like New York and Chicago,
where business men often have occasion
to travel in a hurry.
But it is difficult to imigine
travel on a permanent commercia
basis until the risk is materially re
duced. So long as accidents are fairly
common, business men are not t going
to travel by air uiljss an emergency
compels them. The modern airplane
has been triads substantial, and its
motor reliable. The great source of
danger now is the possibility of forced
landings.
What roads are to motor cars, land
ing6elds are to airplanes. The ob
stacle to maintaining a chain of such
. fields lor a cross country flight is the
considerable capital required.
lijhe promotion of passenger bus
iness is undertaken in conjunction with
the development of landing fields and
other safety devices, the growth will
necessarily be slow, but it will be per
manent. The real danger of the fu
ture of commercial flying is in too
rapid development.
Cities with traction disputes will
likely welcome the suggestion of Sec
retaries Redfield and Wilson, since in

pointriient of' a new federal govern
ment commission to investigate condi
tions and make recommendations in
local rate disputes. While the com
mission, it is understood will have no
authority to enforce its decisions, they
may have sufficient weight to make
it a useful agency.

Wheat is heading and with rain at this

Should no rain cume, the heads will not

this difference is where the cool mil
