has a new meaning today, when a
governmental airplane mail service is

In the regular service between New
York and Washington, the air borne

charge will doubtless be cheapened

We may expect for long time to pay
something extra for speed, because
the plane will doubtless travel twice
as fast as the train.

Aero Club of America, believes tina,
we will soon have transatlantic
mail service by airplane, and his pre-
diction seems reasonable enough. ir

They came, with eyes that were dazed
and dull,
To a land of Liberty;
Came to a land where folk mlght i've
A land that was "of the free"
They carried packs on their tired
backs,
Their shoulders bent with dread;
Tbav did not know what the land
might be
That lay like path ahead.
They stayed and their eyes grew
bright with faith
With faith in their fellowmen;
And some found work with pick OF
steel,
And some with flaming pen
And they challenged dread with an
upfung head,
And a proudly singing soul;
For the stranger land had come to be
A road with shining goal!
And then there sounded call, and
I they
Looked up from their work and
knew
That dread and fear had come creep
ing back,
While the signing war-wind blew.
Silently, then the pick and pen
Were laid in the dust aside,
For the land was changed from a
path and goal
To a land of men who died!
Their eyes looked Ger the troubled
! sea,
Eyes that had once been dazed,
And they saw Europe spent and
| worm
It's affairs and temples RACED
And the ones who might went back
to fight,
Over the ocean foam;
And the rest bought bonds that they
might help
The land that they now called
Home.
