VERMONT AERO CLUB AND ENGINEERS MEET Two Organizations Hold Busi-ness Sessions and Then Unite to Listen to Interesting Ad-dresses in Which the Future of Aviation isVicturcd Tho Joint meetings of the Aero club of Vermont and the Vermont Society of Engineers u-Hiri held yesterday In this city. Tlicro wirs good nttendanco from ul! parts nf tho Slate nnd both organizations worked hard. The Aero club put In its work toward landing places In Vermont as tho Initial step toward Introducing aviation on a large scale and the speakers created much cnthuslnsm while the engineers nttended to their part of the program by disposing of bniilness and dealing with tho many problems which confront them In work.

In the morning tho engineers held a business meeting In tho roof garden of tho Hotel Vonnont at which Prof. J. V. Votey of this city was edited president to I'Uccood C. F.

Purlnptoj. Guy R. Vnr-nuin of Bnvre wns elected vice-president; Gnorge Red of Montpoller, secretary; T. Dlx of Burlington, treasurer; and Swilt of Mlddlebury member of do loan! of SIrcctora. The Aero club held an Informal meeting In the dining room it tho Van Ness hotel, In the aftumoon a Jol.it session, which had nn nttendanco wnlch filled tho roof garden of the Hotel Vermont, was held.

lit waa hero that tho progress mudo in flying was rually brought home to thn laudlcnco and do fact that It Is an Im portant ireans of transpirtatlon Impressed on them. Tie rpeokers wsro all interesting because they dealt with the eito-Htlon us It exists to-day President James Ilurlness the Aero club presided and before introducing the first sponker apol on the importance of eryone's keeping an eye out for suitable landing places In Vermont." Tho of ono should bo followed up by reporting It to the club secretary, Jamo? Taylor ot Burlington, i Col. O. C. Brnnt, fortnorly stationed at Fort Ethan Allen In tho cavalry nnd now department air service officer of the eastern department at Fort Schuyler.

N. was the first speaker. Colonel Brant said In opening that the principal trouble with most people was that they wanted to see ships sailing through the air before they wero willing to take steps toward procuring landing places, and of course that can never be, any more than trains can be run before the rails nre laid. It Is Just as ecessary to provide air harbors as It Is to provide harbors for shjps. Already, flying has begun In Vermont, nnd ho mentioned tho work being done by Captain II.

E. Stlckney of Bellows Falls. "The progress made In army aviation will largely depend on tho advance made by commercial aviation. Ono of the first things to consider will be well-defined aerial routes, nnd these must be dotted with landing places. Any aviator wltl tell you that he Is safe so long as his motor works.

But In an emergency, when tho motor stops, ho begins to look around for a place to get down, with a reasonable expectation of getting down alive. In other sections of the country fields are being obtained on every hand and already some good routes havo been provided." Colonel Brant said that Burlington was situated on the only route north from New York to Canada. It Is a good route up the Hudson, over Lako George and Lake Champlaln and In nearly every other route thextopography of the country Is bad with forests, mountains, etc. All that Is needed along here Is suitable landing places. In bringing home to his bearers the Importance of getting in early on thn aviation program.

Colonel Brant said: "Every refinement In the method of transportation tends toward speed. The saving of time Is the big object everywhere. It Is shown In the construction of automobiles and other means of transportation. When it comes to this, air transportation is the speediest method ever invented by man. It Is only a two hours' run from Burlington to New York and at the prosent time air locomotion Is as safe as land locomotion.

There are 1 accidents In the services which have been Inaugurated for commercial purposes. "During the war safety was sacrificed to speed and manoeuvring qualities, but now the machines are being mnde heavier and safer. Tho Liberty motor generated a horse power to every two pounds of weight but this Is not necessry now. Ms-chines are being operated which carry 12 i.aasengers with a prfect degree of safety, no accidents having yet occurred to them." Colo el Brnnt sured tho people thero that they ere safer going 100 miles nn hour in the litr thnn they wero going 30 miles nn hour on earth, for If anything broke en the nutomoblle they were pretty Mire to get huit. He made it plain that by providing landing places rcw and thus jetting established in the nlr traffic a munlc'pallty wns only doing Itself a service.
