IDEA OF FLYING MAILS
 HUNDRED YEARS OLD

WASHINGTON, April 10 More than a hundred years ago when the United States mails were being trans ported by carriers on horse back, the the Norristown, Pa., Herald, suggested the use of flying ships" and today Postmaster General Work decided it was time publicly to acknowledge re- ceipt of the friendly advice"
 In the issue of the Freeman's Jour nal, of March 1, 1922, the editor wrote:
 "We would advise the Postmaster General to avail himself of the novel and the very ingenious flying machine, invented by James Bennett, of Phila- delphia, by which we conceive, the mails would be transported with more celerity and their arrival at the places of destination be much more certain" ."
 In approval of the development of the air mail service, Postmaster Gen eral Work said:
 eff that was true, then, it is true to- day, and wish I might be able to ad' wise this old editor that we are today using the flying machine with splen- did results in transporting the mails with safety and celerity."
 Postoffice records show that in 1883 wonderful feat" was performed in carrying the mail and news dispatches by relays of horses every five miles, between Washington and New York in 15 hours

JERUSALEM, April 10.-Lord North cliffe British newspaper publisher, ex' pressed surprise on his visit here that it was deemed necessary to meet him and escort him through the streets with armored cars. He said it was a source of wonder to him how little the people in England and America knew about the conditions existing in the Holy Land.
 Voicing regret that he found Pales- tine so unhappy, he asserted that the British public twas imperfectly 1n' formed regarding the feeling in Pal estine" and he added that he hoped Palestinian would not move too quick ly and make Palestine another Ire ,lsnd."
 Lord Northcliffe was given an op- nortunitv to hear two sides of the Zion ist question. A delegation of Ortho- dox Jews which waited on him pro- tested against Zionism. Later depu- tation of Zionist called and requested an expression from him on the Balfour declaration of Great Britain's inten- tion to make this Jewish homeland. To this latter delegation, the British publisher said:
 "No one wishes the Jews to return to the Holy and more than I do but have the greatest regret of the need of armor cars. You exaggerate the idea that the only topic we have in England is Zion. Every one does not agree as vet on the interpretation of the Balfour declaration"
 He reminded the Zionists that Or

FIND WAY TO SAVE
 MONEY ON CABLES

GUIDE ROCK, Neb., April 10. - An obliging cable office manager at Cal cutta, India, thumbing over the rate chart determining toll charges for cablegrams, told Miss Ethel Whiting, a Guide Rock missionary, that she could save bit of money by eliminat- ing the name of the state and county from the address on her message being field to her parents notifying them of her journey home. Smack ing of the unusual, Miss Whiting asked why. The manager informed her that his records showed but one Guide Rock in the world.
 So, "Webster county, Nebraska" Y" was stricken from the address, al though Miss Whiting stated upon her arrival here that she gambled with her sporting instinct over accepting the managers suggestion. The mess age, however, reached her parents in record time.
 Guide Rock received it's christening from a large rock that can be seen for many miles. Great trains of travellers who, in the early days, were making their way to the gold fields or the new west, were told to watch for this rock as it was 'location" point for the trails going to the north or south.
