NEW FOR PRIVATE

What New Had in Mind.

There are now several concerns
that are at least approaching a condi-
ton to permit Of their taking il over
and are manifesting a Willingness 10
do SO. This is just exactly what the
Post Office Department has had in
mind in developing and carrying for
ward the air mail. It has heen demon
strated to all who might be Interested
that communication by air between
distant points was possible both by
day and by night with dependa bile reg
ularity and marVelOusiy fast time
Nothing that has happened better
illustrates what | had in mind hat
the danger lay not in our not going
fast enough in the establishment of
air mail lines, but in going too fast
than what has just happened in the
case of the Chicago Twin Cities route
Nearly every city in the country
wanted an air mail service, but few
of them either realized or inquired
how much it would cost in money to
maintain il or how much mail they
could contribute to it in volume or in
receipts. St. Paul and Minneapolis
were among the most insiStent. They
just had to be on the air mail map
They would have accepted no excuses
for refusal to advertise the service
and one was duly advertised, for
WuiCH AlldlIeS IthUlSpH WAS the
lowest and best bidder. OF course he
lost money. If he had received every
cent paid in postage for the mail he
carried he would have still lost money.
Receipts from mail alone would no
more meet his expense than they
would those of the st. Paul or the
Northwestern Railroad over the same
route, but that does not mean that
there will be no air service to those
cities, and another has already been
advertised. Contractors are learning
that to be successful they must carry
passengers and express, and it is not
going to be long until someone puts in
a full service of that character.
All Not Losing Money.
1t not true that all the contract
air mail lines are losing money. but it
is true that most of them are. and
most of them must. so long a they de
pend upon mail only.
Our own night service between
New York and Chicago is better than
paying operating expenses and the
business is growing. The transCon-
tinental connection from Salt Lake
to Los Angeles is on a paying basis,
but II carries passengers; so is the
line between Jacksonville. Tampa
and Miami, which also carries passen-
gers. Mr.. Mittens line between Phil
sdelphia and Washington carries
almost its full capacity of passen-
gers eight each way every day. Two
or three of the contractors on our
best lines are placing orders for

him.
When she had taken a few more
swallows of the dancing liquid her
thoughts began to dance, too.
She felt sudden longing to tell
Hilary, who was only temperately fond
of her, how intemperately Padraic
loved her. At the same time she real
lied. In a rush, how proud she was
of Padraic's love for her. and how
secretly mortified she had been all
these past years because no other man
had really loved her. This, however,
she felt that she would rather die
than tell Hilary, or, indeed, any one in
the world.

women are when they beat children
That Is why they must never, never
do 1t. Never. There are other ways
of training a child. If you stop to
think a little you viii find them and
surely no sane person would beat a
child without thinking about It? And
having thought about It he will not
beat him.
What would I do about the boy
who goes to play bali after school
without permission? Give him per.
mission. A growing lad has to play.
It is part of HIS education, an es-
sential part of his life and he must
not be cheated out OF 1t. Arrange
his program so that he has a time
for errands and a time for play and
you will find that he keeps faith
with you. Only an illtreated child or
subnormal one refuses to meet you
half way when he sees you trying to
help him. 80
A lot of trouble about obedience
lies in the fact that we give the
wrong kind of orders to the children.
Study the child You are directing. One
needs following up carefully and
another can be left to himself. One
needs urging to play and another
needs to be guided in, the selection of
his sports and limited in them.
Children are intelligent people liv.

ment than that upon which most of
the adults work out their days. That
detracts nothing from their intelli.

Get them to wish to do what is wise
and your battle is won. Beat them
and you lose your point and en-
