MAIL SERVICE
BY AIR SHOWS
MARKED GAINS
One Year Of Continuous Opera
ton Without Single Death
Is Record.
By United Hetos

By OHited NeN6
WASHINGTON The Government
Air Mail Service has completed a
years daily service without a single
fatal accident. During this time
planes flying on the New York San
Francisco route covered 1850, 600
miles. More than $4,000, 900 letters,
tOtaling 1.224,500 pounds, were trans
ported by air.
Through every kind Of weather,
summer and winter, over mountains,
deserts and forest, the postal planes
flew, setting up a new record in the
percentage Of trips actually COM
pleted.
While routes totaling 500 miles were
discontinued during the last fiscal
year and only the rranscontinental
route of 1850 miles maintained, the
air mail service nevertheless carried
the same amount Of mail as it did last
year, or % per cent more in each
airpIane load.
Officials Of the air mail service at
tributed the record Of no fatal accident
in a year to the fact that all their pi-
lots now are experienced and tried
and know the route. During the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1921. seventeen
persons died in accidents in the air
mail service. Many OF the fatalities
occurred with the metal monoplanes
which were abandoned. During the
last fiscal year one pilot was killed,
on July 16, 1921. No man has met
death in the Government air mail
service since then. In the last year
on flyer has been in the hospital more
than five days.
Great speed, possible by the use Of
the air mail, is shown by the fact
that mail sent from New York has
been delivered to San Francisco three
days later.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. July 19.-By
reason Of it's peculiar law. Illinois
may have to resort to martial law. If
the Governor is to comply with
President Harding's call upon the
State executives to give military pro-
lection for the resumption Of coal
mining.
The statute requires all miners to
pass a safety test before a board of

would refuse to pass strikebreakers
for such employment. Attorney Gen

Troops Are Ready
A dispatch from Battle Greek, Mich,
says that Governor Small has sent or
ders to the Illinois troops at Camp
Custer to prepare for a general re-
view, and it is reported at the camp
that this is preparatory TO transfer
TO the coal fields.
Acting Governor Fred E. Sterling,
who is here, refuses to comment on
President Harding's call further than
to say that "the situation in Illinois
is different from any other coal-pro-
ducing State"

Illinois United Mine Workers of the
World is on his way to Springfield.

Will Reopen Mines

By United Press
PITTSBURGH, July 19.-Western
Pennsylvania coal operators today &C.
cepted President Harding's invitation
to reopen mines under protection of
State police and National Guards.
The wages will be those in effect in
November, 1917.
The following statement was issued:
1.-THE operators generally feel that
the statement made by the President
of the United States, together with
assurances of proper protection. have
greatly clarified the situation and
will result in an increase in the pro-
duction Of coal. This will be par
ticularly true in the non-unicn fields
of the State, inasmuch as the many
promises made TO the unfortunate men
who ceased work at the request of
the union have failed to nateriaIIze.' -

BIZ NORA KAY

Hospital life has its humorous
phases. even though often it is hard
to decide whether a case is amusing or
just plain aggravating. according to
DR.. Richard A. Poole, superintendent
of the city hospital
For instance. there are the cases
of foreigners. They can't understand
what we are doing, and they always
suspect the worst" said DR.. Poole.
Thought Son Dead
Zone woman who couldn't under
stand English, brought her son to the
hospital. We found he had scarlet
fever and put him in the contagious
ward.
1.-The next day, his mother came and
was refused admission to the room.
She concluded he was dead and set up
such a wall that we finally had to
move the patients bed SO that it
could be seen from the door. If we
hadn't done that,I bet she'd have been
wailing yet.
Anti-Bath Patients.
Then there are the anti-bath pa
tents. Once in while we pick one
up who looks as if he didn't know
what the purposes of water and soap
are. OF course, that may strike some
people as funny, but it didn't seem
that way to the unlucky orderly who
had to give one of our recent patients
his first bath.
Allowed to Soak
He put him to soak for an hour
or so, perfumed the water with our
strongest disinfectant and REINFORCED
it with the most dirt-dissolving soap
he could find. Then he took a big
chew of tobacco to counterfeit the
mingled odors and announced. I can
go through it now!
Drug cases make trouble for US,
too. We get them here who don't
want to be cured. and their families
try in every possible way to slip
drugs in to them. They even try to
conceal dope in innocent looking
food.
DOughnuts Not PalatabIe
And. speaking of food, it seems
to be the idea among lot Of people
that if a patient wants greasy dough
nuts and the hospital won't feed them
to him, it's because the hospital is OPP
posed to making patients happy. Give
them just what they want, seems to
be the motto OF the visiting relatives,
and they think we are selfish because
we insist on censoring the food they
bring in.
Booze Conditions Better
Things are much better now than
they used to be inSsome lines of our
work" DIR. Poole concluded optimis-
tically. 1T has been months since
we have had a real case OF D. T. in
the ward that used to be full of such
cases. OF course we get men in once
