The Polar Dash

Lieutenant Commander Richard +. Byrd has CON
quercd the north pole in airplane, and to hin,
goes all the honor due brave and intrepid man
accomplishing seemingly impossible feat No one
can doubt Commander Byrd's courage and the world
cheers the successful conclusion Of his adventure
but now that have found the pole again, what
going to do with it? What practical use
will the spectacular flight Of Commander Byrd have
served? Except as a scientific curiosity is the
north pole Of any value to US?
Authorities differ the point. Some say that
series Of observations at the pole. the establish
ment Of weather station there, would enable fore
casters to reach more accurate conclusions Other
authorities say that the region of the north pole has
nothing to do with weather in the temperate zone.
1t is of course interesting to know that the pole
is still there but after all, has the unceasing race
for the pole during the last few years been worth
the money and the lives that have been lost? From
practical angle doubt it. From the adventure
standpoint, however, there is no doubt that an air
plane flight over the north pole attended with the
inevitable risk of non-return to- civilization, would
provide plenty Of thrills 1t is adventure which has
called men to the pole, not science.

Women in Business

The woman in business bids fair to remain con-
slant point Of discussion. There many opin-
ions there people, as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of
women being in business; but they unquestionably
will not change the condition The married woman
in business is serious problem and it is
against her that criticism is greatest.
A canvass of business concerns proved beyond a
doubt that their intention is to avoid employing
more married women, and places left vacant by
them being filled with single ones Some firms
go so far as to make ruling that the marriage Of
a woman employee automatically terminates her con
nection with the firm.
The argument against employment Of married
women may be economically sound, but undcnably
it works hardship the woman, either prevent
ing her marriage altogether, or in she marrics,
denying her the independent income to which she
has become accustomed. The more serious Of these
two is the creation of body Of bachelor maids who
do not marry because their incomes would automat-
icaly cease and the men whom they wish to marry
are not making sufficient money to alone finance a
family and home Of the present high standard Of
living.

Air Mail Expansion

Month by month the air mail service becomes
and more complete. and, business men become
accustomed to its value time saver, and
more popular. The volume Of mail being carried on
the established routes increases daily.
The latest route to be established is between
New York City and Dallas, Texas, including inter-
mediate points along the route, via Chicago. This
addition to the New York Chicago night mail and
the New York-San Francisco arway, operated by the
government, is made possible by the opening of the
Chicago-St. Joseph Kansas City Wichita Oklahoma
CityFort Worth-D Dallas contract air mail route by
the National Air Transport, Inc. Mail will be
transferred from the several lines to each other as
is done in the of railroad mail.
This new line will save at least one business day
in the time Of delivery and SO will be valuable as
set to the southwest territory. The fact that it is
a contract route is welcome inasmuch the letting
Of the air mail contracts to private corporations
helps in a large measure to place commercial avia
ton paying and progressive basis.

The Flying Mail Service
New York Times)


"Thc time is at hand" Postmaster General New
said recently "when the government can step out
of the air mail business and let private interests
gradually take the service" He admitted that
the handling of mail alone would not pay. High
class express, and eventually passengers, would have
to be carried. Such service would require pow
erful planes driven by two or more engines. The
postoffce department is opening new routes in the
west as feeders to main lines like the transconti-
mental and the New York and Chicago. 1t must
continue to do pioneer work to demonstrate that pri-
vatc operation would be profitable.
Capital is now investing in independent services

speed OF 100 miles hour. Connections will be
made with the east and west night air mail at Chi
cago. Letters mailed at New York will be delivered
IN Dallas the next day. On June contract service
will be started between Chicago and Minneapolis.

at the rate of 1904 miles an hour. A speed Of $50
miles on all routes can be made when planes of the
latest models are used Every month new routes
are opened. The country is SO big that when an
air service is started between Miami, Fort Meyers,
Tampa and Jacksonville, somewhere in the south
west, it does not get into other than local news.
Early in April Elko, New. Boise, Idaho and Pasco,
WASH. were linked by mail service. Whenever a
new one is put on, connection is made with main
line. The east is not always in the van of prog.

give the student guidance and stmulus--the whole
object is to make the student desire to educate HIM

Editorial Comment

minneapolis JournaD

North Dakota is waking up the question of
good roads. While its $500 miles of highway in
cude many stretches Of good driving, they arc more
or less subject to weather conditions. There are in
the whole state only miles of paved road and
only 1876 miles of graveled road. Indeed, there are
many miles where the grading has not yet been
done.
The State Highway Commission is handicapped
by lack of funds. There is cent "A gallon gasoline
tax but the first 100000 collected goes to help pay
the States administrative expenses. In 1925 the
gasoline tax brought in $65OOOO, so that less than
half a million available for highway purposes,
after the 100000 had been taken out.
On the roads where federal aid is available the
other half of the cost is divided equally between the
state and the counties travcrscd. But the cost Of
maintenance falls entirely the state which is OBJ
ligatcd by the term Of federal aid to maintain such
aided highways forever.
At the approaching primaries June 30 an ini-
tiated two-ccnt gas tax bill is to- be voted on 1t
provides the usual exemptions for gasoline not used
to drive motor vehicles the highways, and stipu
latcs that the entire net receipts are to 70 to the
State Highway Commission for its work. If this is
passed. it will provide some 81 100000 or more for
highway work and will enable North Dakota to
make rapid progress in catching up with the good
roads procession of the states. The system of CO.
lection and Of making rebates is not quite as simple
and effective that which enables the state of Min
ncsota to collect its gasoline tax at the minimum
pense Of O6 per cent, but it will serve very we'll
We should think the forward looking people of
North Dakota would welcome the opportunity to i'm
