his father namesake meets him face to face on deck,

such affairs trivial when one recalls the surprise
of well known yachtsman who sailed on the first east

Enthusiastic over the great speed of her trial trip,
he booked passage long in advance and spent weeks in
preparing for the Journey. He left home sailing

sed to meet him at the pier. Crowds poured in
rapidly The old man roaned aimessly in the chatter
ing throng until sailing hour and at the last call rushed
aboard without finding his wife He wrote her long
letter hurredy expressing his regrets and sent ashore
with the pilot, off Sandy Hook.
On the way back to his statcroom the yachtsman met
actress He had known her in Chicago some years
ago She was her way to London alone, and by COM
pairing notes found that she had seat next to his in
the dining saloon. 1t splendid! After breakfast

"This lady is not my wife. Allow me to present Miss

But the Joke is stale. Then, taking the actress by

to guarantee the prompt delivery of letters
day in and day out by transmission through
the clouds.
In course of his Investigations he dis
covered that he was not the first Post
master General to whom Icarian PROPOSE
lions had been made. Records in his
department show that as far back as 1915
and 1S49 men in this country informed the
Postmasters General that they had dis
covered safe and sane method for rising
out of the golden dawn like bird and
carrying the mails on flashing wings as far
as the opalescent sunset. They could, they
said, tiptoe from cloud to cloud and do
rgadoon down the Milky Way. They could
light their cigars from the effulgent bril-
lance of the sun and cut the figure eight
round the unsuspecting man in the moon.
Laden with letters and parcels, they could
kick star out of its accustomed course,
and, grasping a redhot comet by the tail,
crack off its head to make way for the
United States Government and its business.
For small compensation they could make
a shooting star look as speedy as tortoise,
and they assured the department that they
would fly so high as to make robbery of the
mails during transmission utterly impos-
sible. The weather would damage neither
letters nor packages; for, borne on the
pirouetting pinions of genius, they would
be carried above the moisture line, and the
matter of sidestepping thunderbolt could
be arranged with shocking ease.
When he read these communications, Mr..
Hitchcock again leaned back in his chair

FREQUENTLY, Frank H. Hitchcock
i Postmaster General, leans back in his
chair and recalls the fate of an aeronaut
named Icarus, who, in sensational but
Ill advised fight, established the worlds
record for altitude and fell into the sea.
Mr.. Hitchcock reminds himself that as the
heat of the suns rays melted the wax OF
the wings of Icarus, mucilage on stamps
and seals on letters might run into nothing
ness if sent whizzing through the empyrean
in an aeroplane on clear day in June.
These reflections are the armor that the
Postmaster General puts on to guard HIM
self against the enthusiasm displayed by
many men who approach him with propo-
itions for carrying the United States mails
by aeroplanes and in dirigible balloons.
Every week or two such a plan is sub
mitted to him, and with each proposal
comes the explanation that the project is
simple, safe. and economical.
But, remarks Mr.. Hitchcock. Icarus
said the same thing; and what is the use of
flying if you can't stay up!'
One of the most ambitious Icarian
schemes for carrying the mails came not
long ago in letter from A. Brodbeck Of
Salt Lake City, who asked if the Govern
ment would grant subsidy to Globe
Line" of dirigibles like Zeppelin airships
to carry mail from New York to London.
Mr.. Brodbeck explained that this air line
would take on and put off mail at such
stations as San Francisco Seattle, Fort
Williams, Boring, Toxic, and other points,
and emphasized the fact that such a route

THE AGE OF ADVERTISING
More Attention Now Being Paid to
That Department Than Ever
Before. .

Writers of advertisements are CIV
ing more attention to the matter in
their productions. Newspaper read
ers are also doing more in the way
of giving attention to the advertise
ments than they did ten or fifteen
yeasr ago, and there are at least three
reasons for that One is, that the
advertisements are better reading
than they formerly were. Another is
the ads are changed oftener, while the
third and chief reason is, prices are
quoted more freely than in the past,
and there is no getting around the fact
that the housewife who lays any claim
to thriftiness is on the lookout for
bargains. The merchant who has his
words his messages accordingly.
When you read a merchants ad-
vertisement, you are reading what he
has to say to you about his wares. He
invites you to come and see what he
has for sale. He wants your trade
and takes the only way known to
him to reach you. The advertising
columns of newspaper so far as
they represent, are representative of
the live business men of the town,
and you will find therein the names of
the merchants who want your trade.
Without exception they are the pro-
gressive men Of the city; men who
keep their stocks upto-date and are
not afraid to tell about their goods.

BY GUY 9. OSBORN.

Everybody takes a daily newspaper
It is read by every member of the
family. The daily newspaper responds
to every daily want of the home-na-
tional, local, society and sporting
news-and last, but not least, adver-
tising news.
The house for sale, the furniture
man, the coal man, grocery man, and
market man-in fact, every want of
the home is fully supplied through
the columns Of the daily newspaper.
1t goes into the home with a welcome
to the very people you want to reach.
In the newspaper you can give
headline to attract attention to your
wares, thereby sitting out the people
interested in your merchandise and
tell them your story. Your adver-
tisement Is on the same page and
right alongside the very news for
which the paper is bought. You do
not have to look for it-it is never

vertising which possesses as many

when 1t is read-30 days or a thou
