"The result of a total restriction might be compared to the effect on aviation in gencral bad legisia- tion been enacted against all flying during the first few years following the flight of the Wright Brothers when, hour for hour, any flight was more dangerous than trans-oceanic flying is at present. "Pioneering and development of almost every advance in air is mark- ed by the loss of its explorers or its scientists. Yet they would be the last to request that advance- ment of the cause for which they gave their lives be retarded. "Hazardous flights should not be prohibited but they should be at- tempted only after car:ful study by an experienced personnel with the best of modern equipment and for a definite purpose.

Mathison, J. A. Thomp- son, H. Kelly, and Fred Bennett. of the local postal staff.
