Many Travellers Used Air Route
 During 1921

Sioux City, la, March 31 - Some 275,OOO persons travelled by air in f1921, although a year ago many per sons believed that the present gener- ation would not accept the flying ma chine, according to a paper by Sam uel g. Bradley of New York, general manager of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America, in, his ab- fsence which was read in his absence at the Commercial Air Conference here today. Commercial aviation survived with no appreciable encour- yagement other than the hard work land relatively meagre funds which us supporters put into it Such was 192O. linen the next I2 months witnessed the most interesting development Tn of-persons Flew. The public has chang ed it's mind.'' the message said and added:
 .'The hit and miss flying of former years has passed. together with the aerial tramp, the side show perform CT and the self-styled daredevil of the air. The gypsy flier- is being ab- sor'bed by the established companies
 Approximately 130 companies or individuals are permanently estab- fish q and operating about half of the civilian planes in the country. In other words. they operate betEeen 800 and 500 of the aggregate 1900 machines They report to us that in 1921 they carried 122,512 passengers and 12S, 231 pounds of frieght. They traversed air routes and made short flights az gregatiag 2.9O9,245 miles. The aver age cost per passenger was D cents a mile as compared to 65 cents the year before. The average charge per flight was S9.
 ..Half of the activity of 1921 was carried on in the region betwen the Appalao hia-n and the Rocky Noun tains. Half the airplaues in the coun- try are operated there. The Mississip- pi. Ohio and Missouri river valleys. Colorado, Montana. the DakOtas, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, af- ford many natural advantages, chief among them emergency landing fac iiities. It is estimated that more than BOO claneS were entered in the various flying meets in the Middle West, that lthey flew a total of some 500.o00 miles kat those meets. carrying approximate lly ! ,, 900 passengers and performing before crowds ageTcgating 400. 900 spectators. in 2 majority of instanc- es without 9 single serious accident.
 ''Revcnucs derived by civilian aeri- el tra nsport in 1921 amounted to con siderably more than ever before prin- cipally hecause there was not the free flying or e6iuca tionaI work that mark ed 1920 as a year of pioneering. The fact that the vast majority of opera tors remained m business at the end of the year is conclusive evidence What the public paid.
 ''The Wadsworth bill now before Congress. providing for bureau of civil aviation in the department of comm cree which would administer the aid laws and provide regula tions. should he made a law before the spring flying season opens.'
 Mr. Bradley said the Aeronautical Cham of Commerce was formed to coordinate the efforts of all oper- ators Of aircraft.

 | Washington, March 31 - Uncle Sam's role as ship operator is near | ing an end.
 Beginning at the end of June he will | commence a gradual withdrawal from | the shipping game, which he began as a war measure and which he has | continued to play until today he is | we'll on the way toward being the | worlds leading merchantmen on the sea.
 This, in effect, is the programme of | Chairman Albert Lasker, of the Ship ping Board. He has announced that in July will come the beginning of the end of the United States long stewardship of the new merchant ma rine.
 The withdrawal will not be too sudden, however. Depending on pos sibly improved world conditions and Government aid to shipping, it will take about two years for the Gov ernment to wind mp its immediate connections with the shipping industry which it brought into being.
 Wants Ships to Pay.
 The general trend of the Govern ments efforts has been toward guid- ing the new shipping industry into paying methods and bo1stering it up until private enterprise can take firm hold and keep the ships moving and the money coming in
 The goal in the minds of Admins UtdIoh IedoerS Has been the IeSIOTd- ton on a modern scale of the days when the famous American Clippers" bearing commerce to every port, were the envy of the rest of the maritime world With the aid of the ship subsidy plan. which 1t is hoped will be adopted by Congress, and the expected improved economic condi- tions shipping authorities believe that the huge merchant tonnage of the States may yet become one of Ameri- ca's most active assets.
 The first big step toward this goal was the drafting of the ship subsidy or Government aid p1an- The next step has just been taken in the first con certed effort on the part of the Ship ping Board to dispose of the fleet.
 Once the major part of these ships are under private direction and hold ing their own with their foreign com petitors the Shipping Board will feel that its mission has been largely ac- com pliShed

Many Women Are Candidates For
 Congress Seats

Chicago, III, March 31 - The fol lowing women are among those runn- ing for congress this year: Mrs. Ellen Duance Davis of Philadelphia, Mrs. W innifred Mason Huck of Chicago, Mrs. Mary Belle Spencer of Hill Top, Cook County, H., Mrs Irene C1eve- land Buell. of Ashland, Neb-, and Mrs. A. K. Gau1t, mayor of St. Peter, Minn. The latter two are sisters.
 ThePhihd elphia candidate seeking the democratic nomination, is a great great granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin, who as a boy exchanged ar gunentative letters with a friend de- lending the prOpritty of educating women and their fitness for education. He explained in his autobiography. however, that he took this advanced stand perhaps a little for disputes sake" Though times have changed, the present candidates encounter an attitude of surprise sometimes, judg- ing from remarks of Mrs. Buell. and Mrs. Huck.
 Tt makes me weary to have people expect me to be a freak because l am interested in politics. says Mrs. Buell. of Nebraska, who adds, mother always said l was the most domestic of her four daughters"
 Mrs. Huck, who is the daughter of the late Congressman William E. Mason, in a statement to the Women'S S d mark, ''The nerve of her going into such big campaign with the com n1ent that to be good congressman, as she means to be, will require even moro nerve.'
 Mrs Buen the most domestic'' of her mothers four daughters has been city prosecutor of Ashland since 1918, though one mayor tried vainly to dis charge her when she persisted in prosecuting her brother.
 Mrs. Gault. the Minnesota can didate is Mrs. Buelfs sister. The two have filed papres in according with tween the sisters that if one ran for congress the other should do likewise, Mrs. Buell. says. Mrs. Buell. set the eX- ample. The Nebraska woman, who mocrate, adds that their father was tho first mayor of the municipality of which Mrs. .Gau1t is now mayor, and that politics. runs in the family.
 Similarly Mrs. Huck, republican, says that common interests with her father and determination to continue his work led her to file for congress- man at large to fill the vacancy creat- that she is happily married and the mother of four healthy children in huenced party leaders to desire her candidacy. Mrs. Huck's supporters say more than 800 down state repub- hcan committeeman have endorsed her.
 Mrs. Spencer, republican, who has also filed for congressman at largo from Illinois, is a soldiers wife and the mother of two baby girls. She was appointed public guardian of Cook county by Governor Lowden in 1918, and has continued in office to date. She practices law and has had cases in New York, California, In- diana and Kansas. She favors a sol diers' bonus, economy in administra- tion, and personal liberty in its hh e-I,. IEJ vote on the liquor question as the ma jority of her constituents would. but omits mention of which side she would take
 Irs. Spencer holds that crime has it's source in the development of the child;s and therefore she favors high CT educational standards with refer ance to character training.

Leon Mystifies. With Fire and Water

There have been Hindu wonder workers, spellbinders from south
 America, and magicians with fancy
 sounding names ranging from French to Swedish, net forgetting the influx of Chinese magicians, but it remained for che with Q. plain everyday Amer ican name, to start where the others left off, and show SoRae really nysufy- ing tricks The Great Leon is the tleman-that is in mind, and he is bafflins young and old, Including all. at Polls this week. He has big tricks, and little tricks, and all he does is tricks and tricks. He wastes
 no time with idle chatter. He doesn't have to.
 For the Great Leon has a lot of
 new illusions that he is anxious to show, and on a vaudeville program he has just So much time and that's all there is to it. He has a multitude | of good things to offer, and he offers so many and puts them across with such rapidity that it is hard to even attempt a good guess as to just what the answer is. Perhaps his two great est tricks are the ones of shooting a red string attached to a dart, right through his pretty assistant, Miss Edith Packard, right well called the 'It's me again!' girl, from the habit she has of turning up at the most un- expected times, in the most unexpect- ed places. The big feature that closes the of fering is a dandy. With all scenery off stage, with just the bareb rick | walls of the theatre as a background, | a glass tank is filled withswater. It is placed on a small platform, and a cur tain drawn around it Miss Packard comes on the stage from the opposite side She is wrapped in a sheet and placed in coffin shaped box, standing

 Mail Years Ago

Washington, March 31.-More than a hundred years ago when the Uni ted States mails were being trans ported by carriers on horse back, the editor of the Freeman's Journal now the Norristown, Pa, Herald. suggest ed the use of flying ships" and to- day Postmaster General Work de- cided 1t was time publicly to acknow- ledge receipt of the Friendly advcie ''
 In the issue of the E'reeman's Jour nal, of March l, 1922, the editor wrote:
 We would advise the Postmaste General to avail himself of the novel and the very ingenious flying ma chine, invented by James Bennett, of Philadelphia, by which we conceive the mails would be transported with mere celerity and their arrival at the places of destination be much more certain than, is the case at present.
 In approval of the development of the air mail service, Postmaster Gen. eral Work said:
 ''1f that was true then, it is true today, and I wish I might be able to advise this old editor that we are today using the flying machine with splendid results in transporting the mails with safety and celerity.''
 PoStoffice records show that in 1888 a wonderful feat" was performed in carrying the mail and news dis patches, by relays of houses every five miles, between Washington and New York, in 15 hours.

POli Review

Mother o Mine" a new picture for the latter part of the week at Pc lis is one of the most depressing films shown for some time. and is mothers heart is broken,> the son goes to jail falsely convicted, and Is filled with scenes Of great sorrow and emotion. It is poorly edited and was screened unusually fast, but the acting was excellent, and the cast well selected. Lately, more of this sort of photodrama have been shown than formerly, and there is no com parison between pictures of the light refined comedy type and the sordid melancholy kind, when it comes to however, "Mother o Mine'' is one of the best.
 Heading the bill is Leon, the man of mystery. With Edith Packard, tricks which would do credit to men in his profession more widely known and advertised than Leon. His fa- nous fire and flame trick is one of the best Of the more modern eXhibi- dons and is done with great ease and apparent simplicity. Leon works without the usual display of mystery used by ''magicians' in a manner that pleases, as much as it baffles the audience.
 Byron and Haig have a novelty vaudeville act, '"The Book of Vaude- ville,' in which there is some excel lent dancing. Doris Duncan, with accompaniment entertains with mu- sica1 selections of a, fine variety. She is a real gloom chaser and is one of the best acts on the bill. Oscar Lorraine in the ''Vholin \ ut" lives up to the title of his act perfectly from start to finish Coming down to the audience with an overflow of energy and comedy could be better employed his violin.
