AIR MAIL ROUTES ARE
TO Be EXTENDED SOON
BY CHAS. S,

WASHINGTON, May IA. (Spl)-Clear
demonstration that airplane mail ser
vice has proven its value may be seer
from the fact that such service, be-
tween New York and Washington. has
now heen in operation for one year.
During that time it has established a
record of ~ per cent, the mileage ira
Nersed being 12S,0S7 and the number of
letters carried being 7,720,S $40. The
revenue derived from the sale Of air
plane mail stamps has been 1859. 900
while the cost of the service has been
$l31, 900. 06.
Announcement is made by Assistant
rostmaster-Genera Otto Praeger that
the new route for carrying mail from
New York to Chicago will be put in
operation As soon as new equipment,
especially designed for this service, can
be supplied. Later on it is planned to
gridiron the country with these routes
and connect up the larger cities.
A number of interesting facts have
been brought out by the year Of air
plane mail service and this experience
will be used in laying out and operat-
ing the additional routes planned. II
Is significant that the six planes with
which the New York Washington ser
vice was. ~inaugurated are still in ser
vice and the one which made the initial
flight, May IA, 1918, observed this first
anniversary by again flying the distance
etween these two cities. This Is held
to demonstrate that the mechanical re-
quirements n operation in commercial
flying are far more economical than
In the military and exhibition flying,
incidentally no airplane carrying nal
has fallen out of the sky. One aviator
was killed by undertaking to demon
state his ability as a pilot and a me-
Cnnic was killed when struck by the
whirling blades of a propeller.

GOVERNMENT BOOSTS
BIG BUILDING CAMPAIGN
BY CHAS. S.

WASHINGTON, May IA. (Spl)-With
a shortage of approximately LOCO, 900
homes, owing to curtailment of build
ing during the war and the high price
OF building materials now prevailing,
the government is bending every effort
to stimulate activity in this direction.
W your. own home campaigns are in
progress In many cities M plans are
now In the making under which hun
dreds OF millions of dollars in negotiable
Citations, may be transformed into liquid
assets which thus can be turned loose
for additional building.
This plan ~contemplates the creation
of federal home loan banks. Building
and loan associations, whose reports
show them to ave been economically
ana properly managed, may become
members OF this federal home loan
bank, one for each section. These
federal home loan banks will act as
clearing house for the negotiable paper
held by the building and loan associa
tons, advancing money IN srch paper.
During the last rev weeks question
naires have been sent out to the build
ing and loan associations and 30 per
cent Of the replies thus received are
favorable to the federal home bank sys-
TEN proposed. Reports received by the
department of labor, interested n the
movement. show that there are now in
the United States 1883 building and
loan associations and that their paid
in capital stock amounts to 81, SOB. no.
S4S, while investments in this stock
increased $l45.o 00, 900 during the last
II months.
The bonds of the federal home banks
are to draw not in excess of $ per cent
II is proposed that these bonds vii
run for a period Of 20 years and that
| the associations viii be permitted to re
pay their loans at any time.

WAR RISK BUREAU STILL
SMILES AT HARD WORK
BY CHAS. S, HAYDEN.

WASHINGTON. May t4.-4-"SeFve the
public and smile Is the slogan which
Col. Fl, D. Lindsey has sought to i'm
press on the 10000 employees under him
IN the bureau OF war risk insurance.
This Is sometimes hard TO do, for there
has been some confusion in the records
OF the 1000 900 soldiers and their de-
pendents and the particular cause for
delay is sometimes hard to explain to
the man or woman who wants, and
perhaps. needs, the money which he
or she feels Is due.
Not always is this confusion due to
failure on the part Of the bureau or OF
its employees. For instance, there are
2,S5S checks representing compensation
payments to disabled soldiers, sailors
and marines which have been returned
to the bureau. The reason for this is
that the applicants for such assistance
gave temporary or incorrect addresses.
If correct at the time the men have
since moved without notifying the bu-
reau, n many of them doubtless are
bitterly assailing incompetent clerks
for not sending the money due.
The volume Of inquiries submitted to
the bureau through the information
section is enormous 1t Is estimated
that at least 500 such cases received
every day call for special investigation
and there are thousands which can be
answered without research.
IN order to impress upon the employees
under him the Importance of dealing
courteously with the public. Col. Linds-
ley holds frequent meetings, especially
with those employees in the information
section. They are counseled never to
lose their tempers and give painstaking
care to every inquiry.

Washington, June 20. - Former

for the last seven years minister tC
Peru, with headquarters at Lima, wa:

to be minister plenipotentiary TO Gar
temala. The post at Lima was re,
Gently elevated to the anibassadorial
class and William e. Gonzales, a dis.
tinguished newspaper editor and pub
Usher Of Columbia, S. c., was today
nominated as the first ambassador
to Peru.
As minister to Guatemala Mr.. Nc.
Millin will receive the same compn-
sation, $4,000 year, as he now re-
ceives as minister to Peru. While
Gov. McMillin's friends wished to see
him advanced to an ambassadorship
they rejoice that under the new ar
rangement he will be stationed much
nearer home and will be in more init
mate and frequent contact with the
Washington government. There is a
much greater volume of trade be-
tween the United States and Guate-
mala than between this country and
Peru, and appreciation of the i'm
Dortance of this fact had something
to do in transferring Gov. McMillin
whose success as a diplomat is as well
recognized as his admirable record Of
20 years in Congress and four years
as governor Of Tennessee.
