Mirrors Aid Airmen
in Avoiding Collisions
The old adage. "Look before you
leap." may well be amended nowadays
to read, "Look behind you while you
fly," says the Popular Science Month
ly. In Europe the aviators are now
as a rule equipped with "baekMght"
mirrors on their airplanes, so that
they can observe not only the ap
proach of any machines that may close
in upon them from behind, but also
keep an eye on the passenger or avia
tion pupil seated behind them. It is
frequently only a narrow margin that
saves an aviator from a collision with
an airplane approaching from the rear
when making an abrupt turn, and on
several occasions it may be desirable
for him to observe what his compan
ion is doing in the rear of the cockpit
Such a mirror serves both purposes.
If all aircraft from the beginning
had been equipped with these "back
sight" mirrors any number of fatal
accidents that have occurred might
have been prevented.

Says Hearst Tried
to Buy the Mail
New York Continuing his at
tack upon William R. Hearst and
his efforts to show that Governor
Whitman has accepted the support
of the editor, Attorney General Mer
ton E. Lewis charged that agents of
Hearst sought to delay the arrest of
Dr. Edward A. Rumely, formerly of
the Evening Mail, and that one of
the Hearst editors made an effort
to buy that newspaper. Satisfied that
an effort was being made to turn the
newspaper over to the control of Mr.
Hearst Mr. Lewis said he hastened
the arrest of Dr. Rumely. The At
torney General continued to demand
of the enrolled Republican voters
that they repudiate Governor Whit
man's candidacy at the primaries.
The intimation that one of the
Hearst sought to purchase
the Evening Mail on condition that
the fact that it had previously pass
ed into German ownership was con
cealed. was made yesterday morn
ing in an editorial printed in the
New York Tribune. The editorial,
after quoting Arthur Brisbane's de
fense of Mr. Hearst regarding the
visit of Count von Bernstorff and
8010 Pasha to Hearst's home, print
ed in Monday's Evening Journal,
said:
"When a few weeks ago Attorney
General Lewis' office delivered to the
Federal authorities the legal proofs
that the Evening Mail was owned
by Germany, and the fact was about
to be disclosed through proceedings
to confiscate it as enemy property,
the Government was surprised to re
ceive an offer to buy it, provided the
damaging fact of its being owned by
Germany could be suppressed.
"And this offer to buy "one of the
dying newspapers, gasping for cir
culation and advertising like a little
goldfish out of his bowl," came from
one of William Randolph Hearst's
editors. Attorney General Lewis de
clined to approve of any Hearst pur
chaser, and the facts about the 'New
York Evening Mail came out. Is
this news to Arthur Brisbane?"
A reporter asked Mr. Lewis if he
believed the statement indicated a
connection between Hearst and Ger
man influence, and whether such an
inference could be drawn.
"Well." said Mr. Lewis, "It satis
fies me."
