Henry Ford said c nnist
have proliiliition because flying
is hero nnd air pilots must bo
sober.
This column sufiested that air
pilots are sober in Europe with
out prohibition.
Now prohibition itself con
firms Mr. Ford's statement eon
eerninj; the importance of so
briety in flying.
While "stnnliiiK" a few feet
above the ground, Wilmer
Stultz, brilliant aviator who pi
loted Miss Kiirhnrt across the

that Stultz was "very drunk"

It is now solemnly proposed
to "dry up the speakeasies
around the airfields."
Not n bad idea, except that
VOL" CAN'T close the speak
easies. And those speakeasies
unfortunately sell the most
deadly bootleg whiskey.
Frederick Sutter, an invalid,
and seventy-nine years old less
one day, talked it over with his
wife, sixty-five years old, on

crackers were exploding, Mr.
and Mrs. Sutter, with the aid
if gas, went higher and farther
than any skyrocket ever flew.
Their nephew found them
side by side, with their arms
around one another.
The Greeks, and other an
cients, would have approved
that, believing that life is giv
en ns to keep or- cast away.
Even in our Christian day,
no one will blame too harshly
the old couple for deciding' to
sleep longer than usual.
When this was writen yester
day, Mitchell and Newcomb
were about to break the world's
endurance record, with the aid
of re-fueling,
Any good aeroplane could
easily fly around the earth
without .stopping, if it could
carry enough fuel for the trip.
That will seem strange to
our descendants, who will pro
duce a fuel to carry even to
day's imperfect planes around
the world five times.

When ocean steamships, with
coal for power, were first sug
gested, engineers said:
"Even if it could work, it
couldn't possibly carry enough
coal for an ocean trip."
One of the Wright brothers
said truly that, he could fly
around the earth on a hnru door
if ho had power enough.
Chemistry will supply n new
power, perhaps, by breaking
down the iiNn, stripping the
electrons from the nucleus, that
will make today's gas engine
seem as primitive as a Japan

Dr. Work declared In his address
thai prohibition is n "law to he

"Ot the Isxuea of the last cam

"Protection because It 1h funda

Dr. Work was seconded on his
stand on the liquor question by
Secretary Hyde.
"Every man has a right to an
opinion as to tho desirability of
tho 18th amendment," tho secre

undoubted right to agitate for Its
