WHEN THE AIR MAIL WEARS NEW BRITAIN

If will be but short time, now that the post office department has awarded the contract to transport air mail between Boston and New York. via Hartford, to the Coionial Air Lines. Inc, of Naugatuck, when. the air mail will be passing over Nhv Britain or over the territory near here daily.
 And it will then be possible to mail an air mail letter In New BTU ain and have 1t reach Its destination with airpane speed virtually all the way to it's destination.
 Contracts given out will provide direct air mail service to the malor cities along fvo new routes, and ar mail going to other cities Will nave but a short railroad journey 10 make. as is'thc case between here and Hartford.
 The post office has set a very reasonable price upon letters going by Air mail, and when the new lines are in operation the mail carried by airplaines should vastly increase Although it costs only eight cents .o send a letter by airmail 10 Chi caso, business from New England has nothing to boast about due to inc delay caused by railroad de- livery to the landing field at Ne" Brunswick. N. J. The price to a' far west as Denver was set at l' cents and to the Pacific coast at 2' cents. So tar. the government mas lost money upon the transcontinen'' al and Chicago night-nying route different financial record propa' bly will be available when the ad' di,iouaI feeder lines are in opera lion. If the government would ad' ,.rtise it's air mail service 10 bet ter advantage it would get more all mail business.

Isn This Neihnh

Among the fellows at the office. Jack had the reputation for being prosperous. He always insisted that this reputation was unfound- ed. But the boys knew he was get ting a good salary, and since they didn't see him spend much money they concluded that he had a lot of it, As a result, they often ap- pcaled to Jack for a loan when they were broke.
 This put Jack in a predicament. He couldn't stick 10 his story that he was always broke, and still have money to lend. So that every time some one of the boys came to him for a loan. he had to think up some new way of getting out of it.
 Vance went up 10 him one day. Say, Jack" he said, can you lend me s5?"
 Well" said Jack, putting his hand in his pocket, ''can you change twenty"
 "Yes," said Vance, q think so."
 Well then" said Jack, you don't need the five as badly as I do. So lops!"

Senators struck out batters with three pitched balls.
 let, in spite of this superb cxhi- bition of pitching prowess, the burly Pirates had everything their own way with luck and made a run.
 The annual autumnal classic had . start yesterday to warm the cookies of the heart. We have foot ball games, tennis matches, golf, polo and even marbles In the glad some falls days, but when the time comes to play the world series games everything takes the pro- verbal back seat.
 Even President Coolidge. rolling over the rails in southern Illinois or Indiana while the great game was being played, was informed of the score at such widefung towns where his de luxe caravan of Pull mans stopped to change engines. The President went to sleep last night well satisfied at the per- formance of the Senators, which is not always the case when the other Senators perform.
 The Herald this year, as last. was the mecca for the sporting fra ternity In New Britain while the game lasted. The crowd along Church street testified to the ap- preciation of the public at a chance to see the game played upon the playograph the next best thing to being at the Pittsburgh ball yard. Judging from what was heard as the congregation assembled, old Walter Johnson had his friends and admirers in this town.
 At this time of the year the world series bacilli Is in the blood and the red corpuscles prance around at fever heat. The disease Is contagious, and man, woman and child suffers from 1t. Yet there is no cause to call the town ambu- lance or commander automobiles for trips to the hospital. It is an illness we all enjoy. The effects are lasting, too. and we talk about it all year.
 After the series Is over and Washington has safely won the cherished world championship -' whoa! That's story for another day.

 Well" said his aide -de-camp, its a good day for it."
 Its a shame to be annoying these lovely American people on a day like this" said the Earl of Cornwallis. When do you think I could get rid of my sword?"
 Any day now" said the aide de-camp.
 Let's do 1t today" said the Earl of Cornwallis. I'm a go-getter!" And so. suiting the action to the deed, he rang up George Washing ton.
 George" said the Earl of Corn wallis, you get your troops out. And I'll get my troops out. And I'll surrender. What do you say?" "All right" said George Wash ington, but don't forget l wouldn't do 1t for anyone else"
 So the troops marched up, and the troops marched down; and finally formed long martial lane. Down the lane marched the Earl of Cornwallis, and straight up to George Washington.
 George" he said, "I surrender And here's my sword"
 q accept your surrender" said George Washington nobly, but ask you to keep your sword as a token of my esteem."
 "Oh, no, George, please take the | sword"
 No, Earl. now you keep It."
 Well, drat 1t all, George" saic Cornwallis, If you don't take tho sword, I'll start the war all owe again. What's the good of endinl the war. if I have to wear tha sword? The darn thing always get between my legs!"
 So George Washington tool1s th sword. And that's how Cornwalli surrendered.

Thrills
 By Wallace M. Bayiss When l was young l used to hate To think of growing old; I looked upon 1t as fate That made my blood run cold; No thrills, no kick, no fun 10 life, Just settled Town with kids and

 And with the world daily strife, A sordid chase for gold. On roller coasters I would ride, Excitement thus I'd buy; When I proposed to her, my bride, That was some kick, say l! And when, with her, I said T will" That was another peachy thrill; The last I'd get, q thoughD, until It came my turn to die.
