A;rb1a7,e Mail Seru;ce From
Atlanta to Gotham
HOSE once hazy hopes Of airplane mail
| between Atlanta and New York have


between Atlanta and New York have
materialized into promises of passenger
carriage as we'll. Bids covering both branches
of service have been received by the Postof-
flee Department; and as they meet o1flclal
specifications and are within the ngureS al
lowed by Congress, acceptance and contract
doubtless will follow. The Department IN
terest, of course, extends only to the mails;
but the successful bidder, Mr.. Alfred w. Law
son, of the Lawson Airplane Company, OF
Milwaukee, tells The Journals Washington
correspondent that he is constructing ma
chimes powerful and spacious enough to carry
ten passengers as we'll as fifteen hundred
pounds of postal matter.
There will be daily service, Mondays and
holidays excepted; while the time Of the trip
of about eight hundred and fifteen miles, will
be twelve hours, which is appreciably less than
half that required for the journey by rail.
Leaving New York not later than a. M,
Eastern time, the southbound plane will
reach Washington, if the schedule is carried
out, at $40 a. M, and resume its flight at
10 a. m. 1t will arrive at Raleigh at lilo
D. m, and after another interval of twenty
minutes will be up and away to Columbia,
which it is due to reach at 3:55 p. m. Thence
lis course will lie straight to Atlanta, upon
whose landing field it will descend at five
minutes to seven. For the northbOund trip
the schedule will be: Leave Atlanta not later
than $50 a. M; arrive Columbia $40 a. M;
11:15 a. M. arrive Washington by 2:25 p. N.
Leave Washington 2:15 p. M. arrive New
York by 525 p. m, Eastern time.
- 1t is but matter of time, and sooner per-
haps than is usually reckoned, when this
route will be extended to Jacksonville aud
the stations of call made more numerous. At
least, this is reasonably to be inferred from the
well proved success and advantages of the
air mail lines which the Postoffice Depart
ment itself now operates between Washington
and New York, and between New York and
Chicago. The latter recently has been ex-
tended to San Francisco, so that across the
vast rivers and mountains and illimitable
plains, where generations were spent in blaz-
ing the trail of the pioneer, the aerial mail
carrier now scuds in less than sixty hours.
Who doubts that ere long this route from sea
to sea- will be crossed by another from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf? Already rmy
filters have demonstrated the feasibility Of
air mail transmission to Alaska, and far
sighted BUSINESS men are looking forward to
such service between the States and South
America.
The wings that so long slumbered IN HUI
manity are unfurling in earnest at last and
as they wax in strength, ali channels Of COM
MERGE will throb with mightier rhythm, all
the heart-tides Of civilization lift I'D vaster
music.

nROHIBITION, although comparatively
new to the world, has caused history
to repeat itself with respect to a tiny
island on the east coast of Florida, Bimini
by name, which is rapidly becoming cele-
brated, or notorious, as you will, the length
and breadth Of these parched United States.
Little was known of Bmini until America
went dry. Then, being more closely situated
to Florida than any other West Indian island,
1t became such mecca for the thirsty that
million dollar corporation was formed, it
Is said, to convert the Bimini wilderness into
lfquifed and luxurious paradise
But Bimini it seems, has better claim
to fame than prohibition has given it, for
this is the island that, years ago, was reputed
to contain the Fountain of Youth for which
Ponce de Leon and many another adventurer
searched throughout the seven seas.
The legend of the Fountain of Youth was
one of those engaging mythical products of
romancers dwelling in the long ago, when
the world was such a strange and fairy place
that almost any wild tale of it's wonders 'got
by" as we slang it nowadays. Thus, the
Fountain of Youth story was attributed to
one Sir John Vaudeville, though, as matter
of fact, he himself was a myth. Whoever
the creator of the Fountain tale was he stole
in from Marco Polo, says the New York Times,
who, in turn, declared he got it from another
dream parsonage, Prester John. The story
was credited from the twelfth century to the
sixteenth, and, no doubt, is still credited in
some parts of the world.
Jnar Ponce de Leon appears to have been
one OF those who believed it most sincerely
and whole-heartedly. Therefore, when there
fell from the lips of North American savages
brought to the Old World from the New GER
tain fantastic phrases which Juan fondly in
terpreted as relating to the Fons Juventis
he sought and obtained permission to go in
search of the water that would renew his
youth and to annex the land for Spain, when
he should find it.
Bimini was his goal. He reached the
island, according to historians, explored il
from end to end, but found no fountain
Transferring his search to the mainland Of
Florida, his efforts were equally futile there
Ponce de Leon died broken-hearted man
What would he say, we wonder, could he be
hold today the mecca Bimini has become fol
the modern Ponce de Icons seeking to re
store their tagging, faded selves in deeI
draughts of stronger waters, and gaining, like
Ponce de Leon-shall we say?-nothing fol
their journey but death in the end?

GET RICH! GET RICH!
By DR.. Frank Crane

There has been considerable confusion in
the advice we have received about money.
On the one hand the Sunday school books,
and third readers, and all literature prepared
for the guidance of the young solemniy as
sure us that the way to rise and become a
j. F. Morgan is to be INDUSTRIOUS pious, and
temperate. By observing the ten command
ments and the golden rule we will be blest in
basket and store.
On the other hand, the same literature
warns us of the danger of riches One OF
Mr.. Carneges books informs us how peri
lous is a great privilege.
So, then, we are to bend every energy to
get money, and when we get it we are to
know that it is a curse and a snare to the
soul. man is to work all his life to get
that which will ruin his children when he
hands it out to them. tt looks much like
the old song:

You're damned if you do,
And you're damned if you don't,
You're damned if you will,
And you're damned if you won't.

I shall proceed to unravel this hard knot
To do this all that is necessary is to get an
accurate definition of what riches are.
We have one unfailing test of all human
values-Death. The practical use of death
is to show what is worth while in life.
When a man dies his soul goes down to
the sea and steps into a little boat to go
to distant island. His real riches consist
in those things he can take with him in his
boat. He can take but two things-his tastes
(character) and his friendships. All else
is trash.
Now go and take an inventory of your
riches Count over in other words, your
genuine friends Maybe you will need the
fingers of both hands on which to enumerate
them; possibly the fingers of one hand will
suffice.
When you get to the island your friends
will be there. You will want only them, and
you will have them; so you will be rich
nan over there. And if you have good sense
you will likewise be rich man here and
now.
Make no mistake, when once we under
tand what true wealth is we recognize the
everlasting truth that poverty is curse. And
that it is, whether it be wants unsupplied or
supplies not wanted.
There is a rational way and fool way
of curing poverty. The rational way is to
recognize that the world is full of magnif-
cent supplies and to try to develop in the
poor man a better kind of wants.. e., to
change his low thinking into high, to re-
place his love Of mud and it's by-products
by love of the spirit and spiritual qualities.
The fool way is to heap upon the soul, al
ready oversupplied, mass of money, houses,
drapery, fancy balls, golf balls, and high
balls. Such wretch has not riches-riches
have him, and usually choke the life out of
him.
So get rich get rich, get rich! Poverty
is curse. Woe to the poor! But be care
full that you know what wealth is and what
| is poverty.
Jesus Christ is commonly supposed to be
the wisest and greatest man ever born OF
woman. He lived thirty-three years and &C.
cumulated-eleven friends. So don't be dis
outraged.
