AIR MAIL PILOTS
SET GOOD RECORD
Only One Load Lost in 800

By Consolidated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO November 1S.-
Uncle Sans new daily through air
mail service. which has lirked New
York with San Francisco and
brought numerous intermediate cities
within a few hours communicating
distance of the two farthest nletropo-
lis of the continent. has established
highly enviabIe record for efficiency
in the five months that II has been
in operation.
In the 300 trips a,~nss continent
In both directions. a distance Of S55.-
000 miles. the only air mail lost or
damaged was one load carried in a
mail plane leaving San Frarcisco
last August, which caught FIRE in
midair and WAS totally. destroyed
In the same interval airpiane men

but considering the obstacles they
must overcome their records for
promptness stand favorable compari-
son with the most reliable train
service.
Fly Every Day.
Rain or shine. stormy or peaceful
heavens, the mail aviators must fly
the same. Like the pony express
riders of the early West. there is not
any such word as cant" in their
lexicon OF achievement In all the
five months Of 31-hour service be-
tween San Francisco and New York
there has not been a single day that
mail planes have not hoped of from
each end of the trans .ontfaental line

19 planes have failed to hop off on

the other cases. the delaT SELDOM was
more than a few moments-never
more than an hour.
There are IA stops for air mail
planes on their cross country hop,

daily. In 80 per cent of their ar
rivals at intermediate stations or
transcontinental terminals-l.200 ar

In the other 10 per cent. the delay
fas been either here at San Fran js"o
where impenetrable fogs prevented
the pilots from promptly locating the
landing field. or in crossing the high
Sierras during terrific billiards. or
electrical storms. In only three cases
nave aviators put back to their start
ing points when they encountered
such storms. The rest of the time
they nosed their big aircraft into the
billiards. or lightning flashes with
tine disregard of personal hazard-and
came through safe.
Since August 1920. wh"n Uncle Sam
hrst 1naugurated the transrontlnental
mail service, but without night flying
and in several sections of the country
where mail is taken from airplanes
and put aboard faS. trains, the same
high record Of efficiency has prevail

when the through transcontinentaI
service started, mail flyers covered
100000 miles without mishap to
their cargOes. their planes or them

The finding of the master also
holds that Vernon Curtis and the es-
tate of the late Edward c. Curtis
must account for funds paid to the

that the Grant Park Bank was not, in

and operated by Il. c. Curtis and
Vernon Curtis for the handling and
investment of the public funds of the

Perhaps you part your hair in

No matter how uncomfortable
your hair may be after being
washed-no matter how dry and
straggly by nature-Stacomb will
keep it in perfect order, always
smooth, trim, lustrous. -.
Women use Stacomb, too. They
find it excellent to control stray

to keep the hair severely close to the
