HERE15 THE HEAVY! KEY TO IT, SIR. AND JT I ALSO A NOTE HE r-Tf I Xi WANTED YOU TO Jlj READ, SIRrM I Ml mximm PENNSYLVANIA prepares to enforce its recently adopted aviation code to the letter. After today, it wil be a violation to operate aircraft in this state unless both plane and pilot are licensed. Awaiting the next session of state legislature when it is exepeeted that an appropriation providing fo.r qualified inspectors will be passed, the state highway patrol will be pressed into service. Patrolmen will make ground examinations of airports and plans and see that none are operated without authority.

The new code, an indication of the rapid pace by which aviation is becoming a matter of daily routine, is also the means of putting flying on a definite organized basis. Hereafter, fliers wil be licensed operators, airplanes will be licensed machines: just as is the case with automobiles at the present time. READING between the lines provides a glimpse of the future when the air will be mapped into definite traffic lanes, with flying police patrolling those lanes. Visionary? Nothing like it. That hour is lor.g pas: the dead-ahead and, at the rate at which aviation is nov progressing, those steps will be covered in a few years.
