the best possible type of landing field in Chicago.
The saving in time of the establishment of direct
mail route from Detroit to St. Paul would be more
than worth the expenditure necessary by the air
mail department., according to w. D. Richardson of
the Curtss Airplane and Motor corporation, who is
attending the show in Chicago.
If the direct air route from New York to ST. Paul
is followed the distance would be only 1000 miles
OF this 155 miles would be over water At an aver
age speed of 100 miles hour, it would take only
hours get bag of mail either way between the
Atlantic coast and ST. Paul.
The flight across Lake Michigan probably would
be made from Sheboygan to Muskegon, distance of
seventy-fve miles, Across Lake Erie the fight would
be made over eighty miles of water.-Exchange.

mercial flying is going ahead by leaps and bounds on
the other side of the water and notably between the

The recent coal strike threw away at least $780,
OOO,OOO The worlds total supply is diminished by
that much. That boosts prices for everybody. By
that much is the poor postponed in his desire for
home and reliance for his old age, education for
his children and happiness for all his family. War

destruction of capital. When large numbers of men
quit productive work and destroy capital already
created and saved then the people called on to pay
the penalty in the enhanced of everything they

Any unnecessary suspension OF production is war.

The World Must Learn to Laugh and Play
if it Regains It's Poise

For five long, weary years the world has been
shedding tears and blood Laughter was exiled the
day the Austrian archduke was shot at Seraevo Ter
gripped the hearts of five hundred million people,
Threatened with starvation, outrage and DEATH the
mothers of Europe moaned where once they crooned
and sighed where once they smiled Charred and
smoky walls tumbed down into the Fairgrounds of the
children of Belgium, France, Italy and London.
Chateaux that of revelry turned into
hospitals and morgues Old lanes under whose spread
ing trees lovers had wandered down for ages be-
snpers' nests and the furrowed field where once
the ploughboy sang and Knocked by rook and
became first abbatoir and then grave.
In America three thousand miles from the clash
of nations, souls cutched by the same horror
and grief which bore down to the dust Europes proud
est peoples. We ceased to smile and walked about the
streets, wondering and worried and appalled, at the
magnitude of the thing that threatened sweep civil
zation into abyss. Not until the signing of the
armistce did tau and throbbng heartstrings snap
and then it was in one great, overwhelming spasm of
joy. Men, women and children all over America
rushed through the Streets shouting laughing and
weeping their gratitude. But this joyousness did not,
could not last. We were constrained to settle back
down into the havoc wreaked by Mars.
Even now, more than year after mad world
laid down its arms, have not learned again how to
smile Fearing what is even worse enemy than the
German army the world waits and gropes and won
ders. This must be changed We must learn to laugh
and play. We have had grief enough. The time has
come to forget it-not the cause we fought for and
which boys died for; the wrongs we suffered
or the cause of thenl-but the guinness war oc-
casioned. Weeping more will not bring back the
dead. Worrying more will not pull the world out of
its hole of debt. Labor and laughter, love and song
what the old world needs So get out the old golf
sticks or the Avver and get away from things while.

I expect to pass through this life but once.
If therefore there be any kindness can show
my fellow man, any good deed I can do,
let me do it now let me not defer neglect
it, for shall not pass this way again.
The above inspiring sentiment comes to hand in a
personal letter from man whose habit it is to en-
close his correspondence some word of cheer and en-
couragement or kindly admonition which he thinks,
from such knowledge as he has of the individual to
whom he is writing will be especially helpful. 1t
the wise man, wasn't it, who said that "a word fifty
spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of slver"
These little texts which habit has placed in
good mans correspondence indeed like "apples of
gold in pictures of silver" for they are not only aptly
spoken" but they emanate from source which the
recipient knows is full of kindness and sympathy and
where there is ever ready helping hand no matter
what the occasion may be for extending it.
His example is well worthy of emulation. 1t is
so easy rule to speak word of cheer to utter
bit of encouragement bestow praise where it is de-
served, that the wonder is do not do of it.
The probably is not so much that we are not
Inclined but that busy, all of us, with daily
tasks and hourly duties that meet and pass without
thinking that the smile might give, the word of
couragement we mig ght speak, the cheerful manner we
might maintain, may constitute benediction for
whole day where there bitterness of spirit and heav
of heart through misfortune care, unuttered
sorrow. We do pass this way but once, and it will
only brighten the skies those whom we meet
on the way, but it will afford satisfaction
selves when the journey is done if there the con-
sciousness the remembrance that when there was op
portunity show kindness do any good deed, it
was seized and made the most of.
These are commonplaces, of course, but most
lives made up of commonplaces, and common
places meet more needs than the uncommon things
