A New Safety First Movement
Now a new Safety ' First
movement has begun. Lieut-
enant Herbert B. Schaeffer of
the United States Navy points
to the fact that because small
towns have not visible mark-
ings that enable a passing
aviator to identify them that
many accidents occur, as the
aviator is compelled to fly low
to see what town he Is passing.
It is when airplanes are flying
low that most air accidents oc-
cur.
Rural communities should
provide for airplanes just as
they are now providing for au-
tomobiles. When a tourist en-
ters a town, a signboard wel-
comes him and gives him the
name of the town; when he
leaves, another tells him what
town he is leaving. All along
the road, he is kept posted as
to just where he is—why not
let the aviator know where he
is, too?
If the name of the town
were painted in large letters
on the roof of the railroad sta-
tion, or some other means of
identification were worked out,
the aviator would have a much
easier time in locating himself. '• flight;
As it is, after leaving a big
town many aviators get lost.
Large arrows, pointed to-
ward the town, could be placed
in the lanes of traffic depend-
ing upon the direction of flight
that is used the most. Below
the large arrows in white.let-
tere: “This way to Timpson,
etc.” “Straight ahead to
Timpson, etc. Air Port.”
Surely progressive communities
will respond to this idea.
The autoirts are being taken
care of—now to take care of
the aviators!
GLENN CURTISS
Glenn Hammond Curtiss is
one of the outstanding figures
in the history of American
aviation. He was born at
Hammondsport, N. Y., an
American small town, in 1878.
He was educated in the local
public schools of Hammond-
sport Today he is at the
head of the vast Curtiss air-
plane interests.
His sensational career may
be said to have begun at the
seat of a motorcycle—as early
as 1902 he established his first
factory, devoted to the manu-
facture of motorcycles, in
Hammondsport. Riding his
own machine, he set speed rec-
ords for motorcycles in 1906.
Later he designed aeronautical
engines for dirigibles. He
supervised construction of D.
S. Air Craft for a time. In
1910 he won a 310,000 prize of-
fered by the New York World
in a flight from Albany to New
York in 2 hours, 51 minutes.
He invented the hydroaero-
plane and the flying boat, both
heralded throughout the coun-
try.
Ho opened flying schools in
many cities, and later design-
ed and built for Rodman Wana-
maker the “America,” the first
multi-colored flying boat, and
first heavier-than-air flying
boat designed for transatlantic

duced many machines of dis-
tinctive design such as scoot-
ers, lifeboats, combined land
and water aircraft, speed
moftor boats, autoplanes, etc.,
and also developed many types
of air motors. With J. N.
Willys he expanded the Curtiss
factories in 1927 to meet the
war demands of the Allies.
He has been in the front line
in man’s battle for the con-
quest of the air, and it is hard
to think of airplanes without
thinking of Curtiss. Recently
he was one of two thousand
leaders who foregathered at a
dinner “To the Pioneers of the
American Industries,” known
as the “Ten Billion Dollar Din-
ner” as the aggregate wealth

Good Soup, Good Service.
What U a Rich Man?
Captain of Your Soul.
No Socratic Method*.
Chiefs of many hotels com-
peted in New York to see
which could make the best
soup. Six wise men, including
Glirenre H. Mackay’s French
chef, Combes, allotted first
prize to E. Alliott.
That' competition means
more to human welfare than
the average man realizes;
more, for instance, than any
Olympic competition.
Soups contain vitamin es and
other, valuable nourishment
and stimulate the flow of di-
gestive fluids. To manufacture
good soup and sell a great deal
of it is to render public service.
Income tax returns show 283
Americans with net incomes of
£1,000,000 a year or more.
The number has increased by
fifty-two in two years. Citi-
zens reporting incomes of $5,-
003,000 or more number only
TEN. There were fourteen of
them in 1926.
Once a man with a million
was considered rich. To be
REALLY “rich” now you need
$1,000,000 a year.
There are several billionaires
in existence that modestly re-
frain from talking about it.
Many a young person has
spouted:
“It matters not how strait the
gate,
How charged with punish-
ment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my souL”
It is hard to be sure that you
are captain of your soul in
these modernist times. Scien-
tists say you haven’t any soul,
anyhow, and you don’t know
where your soul is going later,
if anywhere, or where this
earth itself is going, with the
sun dragging it along.
However, a man . CAN be
calm in an emergency, aud
that’s what the pect meant.
William McAndrew, who
was superintendent of Chica-
go schools, leaves for Athens
to spend a year studying
Socrate’s methods of teaching.
His plan, may heaven thwart
it is to revive the Socrates
method in modern schools.
Socrates, if Plato describes
his method accurately, touch-
ed a new peak in boredom. In-
stead of saying what he had to
say, he went around* Robin
Hood’s barn with questions and
answers tiresome beyond
measure.
Whether or not Socrates was
guilty, an alleged, of filling
young Greeks with disrespect
for the gods, and in spite of
the marvelously heroic hem-
lock drinking episode, you can
hardly blame the Athenians
for getting rid of him.
What modern education!
needs is moving pictures, with}
condensed verbal elucidation,!
not Socratic dialogues.
