Mayor DuBose Named
On Safety Commission
Deploring the recent unnecessary
airplane accident in California caused
by "acrobatic stunts in the air, Paul
K. Richter, chief of training division
of the civil air corps of the United
States, has taken the matter up with
President Hoover, requesting airmen
to respect and obey th# rules of flying.
He has in turn tfcaen the matter
up with the governor's of the various
states in an effort to get ffom one to
three Air Safety Commissioners in
each state.
Governor John G. Richards has
named Mayor C. P. DuBose as one of
the commissioners from this state.
Mayor DuBose is a member of the
Camden Airport Commission.
In the interest of making the air
"fool proof" that is, protecting life
and property of citizens, and awakening
a simple, practical, understanding
in the minds of the public, and the
children to the necessity of making
flying safe, by taking oiit that one
in a thousand "fool killer," the Air
Commerce Reserve, and its Civil Air
Corps, and other Training Divisions
has accomplished marvelous results.

Spring Tornadoes
Bqfde Experts
Washington, May 11.?A recordbreaking
increase in tornadoes, which
baffles scientific explanation, is revealed
in figures of the weather
bureau for the first four months of
IWSd. '
L Where 30 twisters occurred last
'year during the same period, incomplete
reports place this sdfcson*s
number beyond 60.
Of the 30 in 1928, nine occurred
in the first three months and the remaining
21 in April. ThiB year 27
.tornadoes were reported by the end
of March and an estimate has placed
April's crop between 20 and 25.
Deaths from cyclonic winds also
have shown a great increase. Fifteen
people lost their lives during the
period last year. In coutrast, the
deaths this year were: January, 9;
February, 23; March, 20; and April,
pruhably, 160.
Scientists and students of the dynamics
of the atmonsphere can offer
no definite causes for the increasing
.activity of the twisters.
They merely show that tornadoes-,
