GERMANY TO DEVELOP
AIR LINES OF TRAVEL
Post Ministry Has Plans for Ex.
tenSive Development.

BERLIN (by maiD Germany Is
seeking, with considerable success,
the upbuilding of the airpost within
the nation and it's linking to lines
to the Ausland.
The postoffce service has suffered
from the war, but is maintaining a
progressiveness which promises a
rapid upbulding. Restrictions on
fairpost, heretofore arising from lack
of gasoline and due to the peace
treaty, are now moderted.
Various air travel compnies dur
ing THE summer ran a summer resort
air sevice. coupled with aipost. The
Deutsche Luftreederei had a line be-
tween Hamburg and the resort, Wes-
terland auf SyIt, and between Berlin
and Warnemuende, while the Slavat-
mig Fluzzeugbau Gesselschaft ran
daily between Berlin-B Bremen Wan
geroog.
These two lines also link up with
foreign lines at Warnemuende, Ham
burg and Bremen, giving kopenha-
gen, Amsterdam, and London con-
nections.
There exists also a daily service
between Frankfurt am Main and
Basic which joins at the latter city
with lines to France and Italy. All
companies, including the Rumpler
works, undertake from time to time
special flights, such as, for instance
n recent daily service between Berlin
and Leipzig to accommodate guests
of the Leipzig fair.
These lines are merely the be-
ginning The post ministry pro-
poses to develop the service extern
sively and cheaply and before long
almost will be available to Breslau
frankfort am Main, Koenigsberg, the
Rhineland Westphalia, Munich, and
Vienna, The rates for airpost are
only slightly higher than ordinary
post. and are cheaper than the So
called express service.

A complete report on the situation
in Russia was made by two American
Red Cross officials who accompanied
the Polish peace delegation to Minsk.
and who from there went TO Moscow

MANY WEDDINGS IN
MONTH or OCTOBER.

Weddings continue TO occupy one
time and attention these october
lays-indeed. IL appears that there
have been more marriage licenses
issued this October than In June, the
proyerbisl month OF brides. The grist
OF last weeks weddings wound up
suspiciously with the marriage yes
terdsy OF Miss Julia Burroughs and
Henry Msrbury. and OF Miss Dorothy
Lee Mills to Lieut.. Herbert Il. Gibson,
| u. s. A. The latter took place In the
Church OF the Covenant. with a small
reception afterward at the home Of
Mrs. Stephen Crosby Mills. the
brides mother, In Nineteenth street.
Miss Mills had her sister. Miss
Katharine Mills, as maid OF honor.
and was attended by a little group
OF army girls-Miss Katherine An
drews, Miss Mamie Chase and Miss
, Marion Townsley. The ushers were
all army men, IL i remember cor
rectly, and their uniforms gave the
I effective martial touch which always
marks a military wedding. The
bridesmaids made charming group
in their dainty light frocks, and Miss
Mills wore the traditional bridal
white garnished with lovely old rose
point lace which had been worn by
her mother and her grandmother be-
fore her.
Ever SO many parties were given
for this popular bride. notably a sup
per party at Wardman Park on
Thursday evening. with Major Carter,
one OF the ushers. as host. and an
other the next evening at the same
popular place. This time Miss Chase
and Miss Townsley entertained. The

Beauty Culture Hints

There is real common sense In just
noticing whether the hair Is well
kept to Judge of woman's neatness,
or good taste. 1f you are one or the
few who try to make the most of
your hair, remember that IL Is not
advisable to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but
always use some good shampoo. You
can enjoy the very best by getting
some canthrox from your druggist,
dissolve a teaspoonful in cup OF
hot water. This makes a full cup OF
shampoo liquid, enough so 1t ~
easy to apply II to all the hair in
stead OF just the top OF the head.
