ment expects the schedule for the
Journey to be around thirty hours
when started.
The appropriation for the transcon-
tinental route becomes available July
1, and Jordan said plans had been
made to begin operation as soon
thereafter as was possible. He be-
lieved a start could be made by Au-
gust /, and he was certain regular
aerial mail service would be estap-
lished between Reno and Coast points
and between Reno and Atlantic coast
points by September / of this year.
THE time will come when the big
mail carriers will be travelling 200
miles an hour" he said. THAT will
mean delivery of mail in any part Of
the country on the day posted. That
IS what we are working for and his
tory of aviation leads us to believe t
will be accomplished within the near
future
The post office department does not
ask exclusive use of the field, but il
requires the erection of a hangar a.
least 100 by 100 feet floor space for
exclusive use. Such building is ex-
pected to cost around $4,000 and it
is to be furnished the government at
a rental of 81 a year 1t was ex-
planned the post office department
will require a lease from year to
year for five years at the end OF
which time it may be possible to sell
the entire property to the department.
Colonel Jordan told the committee
that a staff of from twenty to thirty
men would be employed by the post
office at the field. The annual pay
roll should be around $4,000 he said,
and there will be five or six airplanes
with from four to five pilots always
in the city. The government viii
maintain the field after the mail SER
vice begins.
Discussing the field, the visitor de-
clared it one of the best in the II
try and we'll adapted to federal pur-
poses. ut is less than six minutes
from the post office" he said. and he
seemed to talk only in minutes. Hours
meant nothing to him in talking de-
livery of mail. He figured the time
a letter should take from Washington
to Nome, Alaska, and still talked in
minutes. Before he finished he was
telling of big airplanes capable of
carrying tons and travelling at 200
miles an hour to all parts of the con-
tinent.
I'VE expect to have about twenty
one ships capable of carrying 1900
pounds and thirty that will handle
about 500 pounds" he said. These
will be enough for the beginning of
the service, but more will be needed
when side trips are added, which we
expect to be the ease within the near
future"
Colonel Jordan asserts the aerial
mail service is more trustworthy than
is the railway service. 1--WE have
been carrying mail now for two

machines have been lost. Those
two burned with the mail. There
has been only four fatalities and our
planes have covered more than a mil
lion miles. In the same time it is
safe to say that the railway mail
service has lost at least forty cars
of mail"
The cost to the city will not be
excessive. The hangar will cost less
than 500, 900 and it is possible the
government will buy the building be
fore the trial period has expired.
Even if the government should not
buy, every city the size of Reno
should have such a landing field,
said the colonel. II know several
very prominent men who plan to tour
the country this year by airplane and
many of them will be worth while en-
tertaining in Reno"
The city at present has an arrange
ment by which it takes over the field
at an annual rental of $3.50, but with
out rent for the rest of 1920. The
lease continues five years with an
option to purchase any time before
then for ST., 900.

No Increased Street Car Fares
For Washington People!
By BILL PRICE.

While street railway companies by the hundreds

ing heavy losses to financial hackers and poor service to
the public the weakest of Washngtons street railway
panesmanly weak through mismanagement of its former
offcalswas kept from wreckage by decisions of the
Public Utilities Commission increasing the fares to the
riding public This the wise thing to do. Washington
people paid the bill much cheerfully than they did in
many other cities The fares fixed that all the
burden would not devove the peoples neither would the
railway companies be able to hand out rich dividends
The Washington Railway and Electric Company has
sought increase of fare to cents straight from existing
rates of cents cash four tickets for 80 cents 1t is
making substantially per cent return upon the value of
its properties fixed by the Utilities Commission The
companys net earnings will increase to return of per
cent legislative action that be taken in
weeks time by Congress placing tax payments where they
belong The net earnings be further increased by de-
crease of expenditures and economies coming with falling
prices Every article of iron steel going into the street
railway game is falling in price
Briefly the outlook for Washington street railways
improving speedily the cost of maintenance decreases
and the two lines be put practically upon equal foot

Therefore, this time for the people of Washington

Not So Good.

A useful Xmas gift is something you can take
back and exchange
A useless gift is one that you needed badly
but could have bought yourself for eighteen
cents.
And the real gift Is one that is luxurious,
expensive. and costs at least $500 and that many
hints.
The wrong gift is one you needed but didn't
wanted but didn't need A gal would rather
have a gnat-sized diamond than an elephant
in silk than keep warm in WOOL and go hungry
in fashionable restaurant than have coal
scuttle full of nickels in the Automat.
The new voters might rattle around Wool
worth's imported buttonhooks for 364 days in
the year. but Xmas they have their mouths
all set for Tifsny's where those South African
pebbles glimmer brighter than the sun But
not quite as cheaply.
Jewelry was considered a luxury before it
became necessary. In the old days bride
content with a fourteen-ksrat gold bandage
her finger. 1t was a simple little yellow ring
that looked very well with the green mark IL
made on the finger. Now, gal wouldn't even
iconsider getting engaged for less than ring
that cost less than 200 instslments and the
balance like rent
Xmas is where the boys get a chance to eat
in the one-armed sudden lunchrooms for the
rest of the year They do their shopping early,
their payments late and their eating very little,
IL any.
They say the merry day comes but once a
year. but the instslment man Amt SO exclusive.
He's right on the job, and he Amt hiding behind
a set of shredded biscuit whiskers. 1t wouldn't
be bad IL love lasted as long as the install
ments. But about the forty-sixth payment, n
young man kinda figures that eating may be
vulgar habit, but it's a habit nevertheless.
When her sweety gives her one of those dim
diamonds a gal let's him perch on the sofa with
her and kiss her through a layer OF rouge and
a shock-absorbing blanket of talcum Ho feels
amply repaid for the diamond, but the man
who makes the collections hasn't got any sofa
springs in his heart
True love runs about as smooth as the Erie
It's a great thing playing santa Claus on Xmas
But playing him every pay day amt good

and understanding. without them what calls
itself love isn't worth much.
The man who whines about the way girls
have treated him because he can't make love
has probably never felt love. To be in love
honestly and deeply in love--four times in three
years Is beyond all possibility OF happening. 1t
doesn't occur
Four times in three years you've seen girls
you thought would make you n good wife. None
of them have so touched your heart that you
took any interest in whether or not you would
make her good husband.
When a man loves he tries TO learn loves
nicetes for tho sake of the dainty woman he
wants to win. And when man who has deeply
hidden in his soul the fine qualities my Bit
ter friend dsplays--won't stir under the crust
OF his own sefishness to make tho pleasant
traits active--its because he is a selfish cur
mudgoon or sensitive goose.
