assiduously and debonairly with the

you taught them to do II, and filled
their eager little hands in spite of

New York, Jan. 15.-Airplane fares
are coming down in spite OF the II.
c. Of L.. according TO Maj. Reed Lam
dis. second American ace. He de-
clares that aerial passengers can be
carried from New York to Chicago
In eight hours for s37.52 at a profit Of
20 per cent for the carrier.
While there is no actual money
saving in taking an airplane instead
OF a train between the two cities, the
eieht-hour schedule is ten hours less
than any passenger ever bridged the
distance before.
Maj. Lands says the day is at hand
when such passenser-carrying service
will be established.
Maj. Landis makes his calculations
of profit on the basis Of slS76 as the
actual cost OF the trip. The type OF
planes he recommends for the service
would carry twenty-five passengers
and make one trip a day.
