(Official City, State and County Newspaper) 1S Se Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (ncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Uniform Air Code Uniform regulation of air traffic is ‘urgently needed in the various states of the Union and the Department of Commerce should have the hearty co- operation of state legislatures in pass- ing such a code. If such a code were in effect now many accidents prob- ably would have been avoided. The} Department of Commerce has pre- pared such a code for consideration in 1932. ‘This code deals also with the aqui- sition of airports by municipalities and their operation. Minimum safe altitudes are provided and “lawful- ness of flight” is strictly defined. In too many sections life and property| .are menaced by low flying. Here are some of the proposed en- actments: “The minimum safe altitudes of flight in taking off or landing, and while flying over the prop- erty of another in taking off or landing, are those at which such flights by aircraft may be made without being in dangerous proximity to persons or property on the land or water beneath, or unsafe to the aircraft “Minimum safe altitude of flight over congested parts of cities, towns or settlements are those sufficient to permit of a reason- {| ably safe emergency landing, but | in no case less than 1,000 feet. | “The minimum safe altitudes + of flight in all other cases shall | not be less than 500 feet.” Licensing of aircraft and airmen is| provided and the single standard idea; is favored—that is making a federal license requisite. Now several states issue permits and there has grown up} the dual standard. Planes engaged} in interstate traffic must have fed- eral licenses and it simplifies the matter to provide for the federal licensing and inspection of all air- craft. At this writing twenty-six states require federal licenses for all types of flying. North Dakota is among the twenty-six. | Perplexing to the framers of the; code has been the section which de-| fines liability of airplane owners.) Present codes contain a declaration| ‘of absolute liability upon the owner of aircraft for injuries to persons and property on land. The federal au- thorities engaged in framing the uni- form code proposes the common-law defenses now pertinent to such ac- tions in other lines of transportation. On this point the framers of the code have commented as follows: “It recognizes that the airplane is still a new, and by many re- garded asa dangerous, instrumen- tality, but your committee is un- willing to consider that it is an untried instrument of commerce, and is unwilling to admit that its future does not hold the possi- bility, at least, of universality of use. The committee is not will- ing to join the ranks of those passed on, but not forgotten, so- lons who required a man with a red lantern to precede a railroad train; or required a published notice of intention to drive an automobile on a public road; or fixed a maximum of eight miles per hour for self-propelled ve- hicles. “The committee recognizes, how- ever, and deems it essential, that the inequality of the landsman and the aviator, with respect to the availability of evidence as to what has taken place in the air, and as to what causes an aircraft to descend out of control, be ad- i desire to help rather than to censure. joffer of $1,000,000 contingent upon jaccepted and a great campaign to} {raise this fund is now under way. | breadth of the land. | | garb when presented at Buckingham other traffic, parking on the traveled portion of the roadway, passing] street cars taking or discharging pas- sengers, driving with glaring or im- properly adjusted lights. ‘Trying to find the reason why per-| sons who are otherwise cultured and considerate become thoughtless road hogs, Brown philosophizes as fol- lows: + “When we speak of a road hog, we usually think of a person with a big car or truck going down the middle of the highway and forcing other drivers to take the ditch or stay behind him. Such deliberate misconduct is of course inexcus- able, but in its consequences it is perhaps not as serious as thought- lessness. Such a driver at least gives plain notice of his hoggish- ness and the driver of a smaller vehicle who contends with him for the road is simply fool-hardy. But when we meet a car on the wrong side of the road at the crest of a hill, when the car ahead of us makes a sudden left turn without a signal, when he starts weaving in and out of congested traffic, we have no time nor op- ~ portunity to get out of his way and it is just luck if we escape an accident. “Usually these things are not done deliberately but thought- lessly. The driver who takes the trouble to consider the matter at all would know that when vio- lating most of the rules in the traffic code, he is endangering himself as much as others, “Misconduct on the road be- comes all the more astonishing when we consider that much of it is committed by intelligent, edu- cated persons, who have a high code of ethics and courtesy in their business dealings and their social conduct. Why they should become such boors when they get behind the steering wheel is diffi- cult to understand. Some acci- dents are caused by business and professional men who permit their minds to wander into other fields and who forget to keep their mind on their driving. But many others are caused by persons who, although of normal intellect, do not have any weighty problems on their mind. In many cases they do not realize the inherent danger in a modern motor ve- hicle. Perhaps they are hypno- tized by the smoothness and pow- er of their car. Whatever it is, thoughtlessness sooner or later leads to serious consequences. Brown is a trained observer and, to all accounts, a competent public of- ficial. His remarks are inspired by a To the ordinary citizen who, in his heart; despises a boor and wants to} do the right thing, they are none the less biting if he happens to be one of the millions of thoughtless road hogs who use our highways. | Detroit is tackling its own problem of unemployment.

The indignant crowd that gathered in Madison Square Garden at New York City to protest against the re- peated gang killings of innocent citi- zens had more than ample grounds for complaint, but its.action only serves to emphasize the viciousness of @ bad situation. Much of the pre- vailing- crime in the United States may be laid directly or indirectly at the door of prohibition, but it should be remembered that the Capones and Diamonds derive their wealth and power from a public which not only tolerates, but actively supports their illegal operations. ‘There is irony in the spectacle of an outraged community clamoring for more drastic police activity against; racketeering and organized extortion when that very community is en- gaged in violating a law whose strict- er enforcement only makes the crim- inal more violent and desperate. It is precisely here that the crux of the| problem lies. So long as a law fails to meet with the support of public opinion, studies, however “scientific,” of its violation are bound to be futile. Strengthen law enforcement activ- ities as much as you please, without the cooperation of the public the re- sult is likely to be worse than nil.

To all outward intents and pur- poses, the immigrant families are liv- ing in overcrowded, littered quarters like millions of other tenement dwellers. The slum belt in and about Third Avenue and 107th Street, scene of the recent outrage, is a replica of several other squalid areas. But let some tragedy momentarily tear away the exteriors, and Man- hattan learns that thousands of its people still suffer from age-old Sicil- fan chills and fevers. The shadow’ of the old Mafia, presumed to have' been long sincg removed, still haunts the private lives of those who heard of its menace from a grandsire’s knee. Old world fears have not been filtered from the blood. The Mafia-like atti- tude of American gangdom has done much to keep them alive. And so when the Law went out to revenge the shooting of babies, it met; a tight-lipped neighborhood. Even the kin of one dead child had various seeming lapses of memory. The an- cient Sicilian codes had suddenly been applied. One mother of the district frankly admitted: “We are not brave enough to tell what we know. We are afraid.” ‘They have learned this, as their fathers learned it—and as some of our own younger generation are learn- ing it from mob threats. ee Recently I saw a motion picture which drove this point home. It was titled, “The Star Witness.” The story had to do with a family that was quietly sitting at the dinner table when a commotion was heard out- side.

But there's an old whiskeretl grandpa, who fought in the Civil War, who is thoroughly Lincoln- ian and who remembers the founda- tions of his country. He isn’t going to be buffaloed by any mobsters! Nor is he. Nor can he understand what's getting into the rest of the people to stand for such goings on. ee All of which is instructive fiction, and quite worth heeding. But yp in the Manhattan section where gang guys dared to point their guns on playing youngsters, tenement life is likely to go on quite the same for some tme. Another generation may: change it, but gangsterism is likely to ‘have an important effect upon their lives. ss During these sticky hot days they fairly pack pavements that are soggy from melted tar.

There was no salutation. The note read: “Minnie Baker's baby’s been hurt in an accident. I've gone to see what I can do. Minnie’s nearly crazy. I'll telephone later. Chris.” Poor Minnie Baker! She was the bookkeeper at the Hart Advertising Agency and of course in time of trouble she would turn to Chris. Why, oh, why did grief and sorrow 80 often descend on those who had already had their fill? Norma had never seen Minnie Baker but had heard Chris speak often of her. She knew Minnie’s husband was in a sanitarium fighting against tu- berculosis. Chris Saunders had helped them borrow the money to send him there, “If anything happens to that baby,” Norma told herself, “I don’t know how she can stand it!” Two-year-old Junior had been everything of.joy and happiness in the pinched, deprived life of the bookkeeper. Norma sighed, arose and put away her hat and coat. She pre- pared a frugal meal for herself. The bad news had depressed her and she was not hungry. While she was drying the dishes a little later the bell rang, sum- moning her to the first floor. Norma threw down the dish towel and ran down the stairs. She supposed it would be word from Chris. But it was not Chris nér was it a telephone message which awaited her. Instead a small boy in not particularly clean sweater and knickers stood framed in the door-. way. Norma looked at him inquiringly. “Where's the dog?” the young visitor demanded. “You mean—”" hesitating. The boy flourished a folded news- paper. “Here it is,” he said, “in The Press. It says you've got a puppy here just like my ‘Spot.’ I've} come for him. ‘Spot’ got away Norma began, last week when Dad and me were down town in the car. We parked and when we came back Spot was gone, I'm a carrier for The Press. I read your add last night but I couldn’t get over here on account of getting somebody to carry my route.

The boy had his cap in his hand. His sandy hair slanted across his forehead in disordered wisps. He had blue, very serious eyes and a determined manner. “Where is he?” the boy repeated. “T'll show you,” Norma said. She had been silent more because there had not been opportunity to speak than for any other reason. “We'll go down into the basement.” She Jed the way along the hall and the boy followed. As she was about to open the door leading to the basement stairs he stopped her. “Wait a minute,” the youngster said, eyeing Norma shrewdly. suppose you'll want to know if it’s reatly my ‘Spot’ you've got here. I suppose you think maybe I made up some of what I told you. We don’t have to go downstairs to find out. Listen to this—” He got down on his two knees before the open door, leaned down into the garkness below and ut- tered a shrill whistle. An instant/s pause and then the whistle was re- peated with three sharp blasts. For a moment the pair eyed cach other. Compassion swelled in the girl’s heart as she saw the boy was sure to face disappointment. He was such a sturdy little urchin, so confident. The boy did not whlstle again. He was Jeaning forward, hand cupped to his ear, straining to hear. Then a smile like sunlight crossed his face, “He's coming!” he cried trumphantly. “I hear him!” ; a pleasant senso of satisfaction. It was fine to see anyone as happy as that youngster. He had made her forget that the. world is filled with disappointment, sorrows and heart- ache, eee, HA an hour later when Chris telephoned the soberer view of life came back. Little Junior Baker's fate was still in doubt. The child had been bandaged and treat- ed by a physician. He was quiet now. Chris was doing what she could do to comfort Minnie, who was hysterical, utterly useless in caring for the infant. Chris’ voice betrayed the emo- tional strain under which she had been working. It required ques- tioning from Norma to bring out what had actually happened to the child and even then the tale was incoherent. The baby had, as Sure enough! Norma heard the faintly perceptible tap-tap of puppy feet on the basement floor. A shout from the boy. Another instant and the barking, wiggling little animal and his youthful master were a rolling, squealing mass of ecstasy. “Spot!” the boy cried. “Oh, Spot, you ol’ funty-faced, crazy ol’ Spotty dog! Stop that, will you?” The pup was in the boy’s arms. Spot's flashing little tongue licked his master’s cheek, Ancther moment of delirious reunion and then the youngster scrambled to his feet. Still holding the puppy, breath- less, from the scuffle, the youngster said proudly, “Well, Miss, I guess I proved he’s my dog all right, didn’t I? That’s how I always call him— by whistling.” . . NORMA thought she had never seen a happier child. “Of course I can see he’s your dog,” she said. “And I’m glad you read the ad and came for him. Spot's a lovely pup- py. You'll have some grand times together.” . “Oh, sure!” the boy said, for some reason at this late moment suc- cumbing to bashfalness. “Sure, we'll have good times together all right. We always do.” For the first time he cai sight of the collar about the pup’s neck and in- spected it with interest. “I got the collar,” Norma ex: plained, “so I could get him homo safely the night I found hint There's a leash, too, upstairs. I'll get it—” “Never mind,” the boy interrupt. ed. “I’ve got a leash for him and a collar, too, at home only he didn’t have ‘em on the dsy in the car. Believe me, Spot's goin’ to wear usual, spent the day with the wo- man who lived a flight below Min- nie and who was paid to look after Junior each day while the mother was at work, The woman's name was Mrs. Sorenson. Shortly after 5 o'clock—only 20 minutes before Minnie re&ched home—Mrs. Soren- son had gone to the door to answer a knock and the baby toddled into the kitchen. There was a steaming pan of water on the stove. In some way the child had overturned the pan, been drenched in the boiling: liquid. Junior's screams had brought the household. By the time Minnie arrived a aoctor had taken charge. One of the baby’s arms was entirely stripped of skin. His back was badly burned. The doc- tor’s most hopeful pronouncement was that there was @ bare chance the child might live. Everything that could be done to save it had been attended to. Now Chris was trying to soothe the tortured mother. She told Norma that she <would remain through the night. ‘There was a neighbor sitting with the child but Chris felt she, too, was needed. / She was talking from a telephon belonging to one of the other ten- ants in the building.
