Traveling from Payton to Del roll
In two hours Is "going some." Major
Smith did It the other day on nn air
plane and curried a pnswenger with
him. poes anyone doubt that a device
which makes possible sucl. a couiet
like trip will be permitted to fall into
d'mise after It has served its purpose
In the war? The thing which the
world wants most Just now Is peace.
Next to pence the chief desire of man
kind centers Uon speed. If the air
plane had nothing more than Its
speed to commend It, we might be
sure that It would be pressed Into
use for passenger traffic. Since It has
been demonstrated that aircraft may
be made as comfortable and as safe
as cars which are hauled upon tracks
and ships that snll the seas, we may
be sure that the day Is not far dis
tant when "the squadrons of the
sklea" will be utilized for pleasure
and for peaceful enterprise.
