Rate ON Airplane
Letters tO2Cents
Postmaster General Will Not
Guarantee Transportation
by Such Route, However:
Abandon Special Stamps

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-Postma ster
General Burleson to-day reduced the
postage rate on airplane mail to two
cents an ounce, the regular rate for first
class mail matter, and placed the air
mail service on the same footing with
all other means of mail transportation.
The effect of the order, Second AS
sistant Postmaster General Otto Prayer
explained, is to place all first class mail
on the same basis, and the question Of
time in mailing will determine whether
or not letter will go by airplane in
stead Of by train. Letters in transit
which miss train connections will be
forwarded by airplane to make up lost
time.
1t was stated that there was no quar-
antee under the new arrangement that
a letter would go by airplane, but that
persons might go to postoffice stations
where airplane mail sacks were made
up and request that their letters be put
in these sacks.
Special airplane stamps will be aban-
doned and letters need not be marked
via air post"

Soldier Seeks Baby Son
Caretaker Gave Away
Foster Mother to Fight Claim of
Man Draft Took From Two
Motherless Children
Special Correspondence

NEWARK, N. j., July 18.-Frank
Sharey, returned soldier, appealed to-
day to the Children's Aid Society here
for assistance in getting back his six
teen months-old son, Frank, jr., who
has been rechristened Philip Boyle by
Mrs. F. A. Boyle, his foster mother,
wife Of contractor here.
Mrs. Boyle also appealed to the So
ciety, saying that she would not give
up the child, who has been in her care
for year and whom she has grown to
regard as her own son. She obtained
the child, she says, through an adver-
tisement inserted in Newark papers by
a Mrs Donocuka, of 13 Passaic Avenue.
Sharey says he was called into sierv-
ice by the draft board at Garfield, N.
Just died and left him with two chill
dren, entirely depende three
months old, and Michael, three years.
The board, he says, neglected his pro-
tests and he placed Michael in the care
of Polish family, turned over Frank
to Mrs. Donocuka, who promised to care
for him, and went to war.
About month later Mrs. Donocula
found it was too great a strain to sup
port an alien child in addition to her
own brood and advertised for some one
who wanted him. Mrs. Boyle had had
two children. Both of them were dead.
She took Frank.
81 might have given him back at
first" she said yesterday, "but not now;
not even if his father offered to pay
me all the money have spent on him,
and'I have spent a lot"

an investigation

Gets A. F. of L. Charter
Joins With White Rats and Will

The Actors Equity Association an

charter from the American Fedora

held by the White Rats of America.
most of whose members are on the
vaudeville stage. The amalgamated
body, holding the new charter is known
as the Associated Actors and Artists
of America.
Holding an American Federation of
Labor charter, the union actors have
a more potent weapon to use in their
struggle with the managers-one which
may make it more feasible for them to
call a strike that will be effective
1t was in anticipation of the neces-
sity for such support that the actors
applied several months ago for the
charter which they now have received
Since refusing to arbitrate thu actors
demand for extra pay for holiday mat
lneos, the managers are said to have
been issuing their own contracts and
virtually ignoring the Actors Equity
Association.
In the election of officers of the AS
sociated Actors and Artists of America,
ing of the White Rats and the Actors
Equity Association was indicated by
the fact that the officers held office pre-
viously in one or the other of the or
CARNATIONS. They are Francis Wilson,
president of the new body, and Frank
Gilmore, it's treasurer, both of whom
were officers of the Actors Equity
Association, and James w. Fitzpatrick,
wee president of the new organization,
and Harry Mountford, it's executive
secretary, who were officers of the

inch of the independence for which
our fathers and so many members
