That the business has been due to errors, and not to pro rata distri- button of the surplus, is evident from the disproportionate character of the refunds contemplated. The Ford Motor Co. will receive two re- funds totaling less than s200,0o0, while several other institutions of much less value as public tax pro- ducers will receive refunds of many times that much.
 To some of these corporations the refund will constitute a handsome years profit.

AGGRESSIVE AIRCRAFT

Representing New England's faith in the future of commercial aircraft, the Colonial Air Transport. Inc. is becoming an aggressive exponent of aircraft possibilities and is expand ing it's activities in quite an aston ishing fashion.
 The company has definitely decid- ed not to be a New England com- pany for New Englanders," but will expand to the west, and to the north to Montreal. Its headquarters and directing heads, however, will remain in New England; and it ap- pears that Hartford will be the heart of the great system of air transportation that is being develop ed. This may be partly due to the fact that Governor Trumbull, him. self an enthusiastic air developer, is one of the guiding spirits in the company.
 The companys contract mail line between New York and Boston, of course, has not proved money maker. To men less enthusiastic about the prospects of future air development this might have been discouraging to the point of eXtinc- tion. Not so with respect to the Colonial officials, however; 1t has merely convinced them that the fu- ture of aircraft does not lie within any one section. and in order to make it pay the routes must be ex- tended materially.
 Hence we find that passenger and express service will be established between New York and Montreal; ditto from New York to Chicago with connections from Boston, and later with Hartford as the connect ing terminal. The route west will be virtually over the tracks of the New York Central, except that the route will include Detroit. Thus the most important line in the coun- try as far as cities served, will come under the aegis of the Colonial company. In addition. the company also has it's eye upon several more mail contract routes to the west.
 Such expansion takes capital, and fortunately there is no lack of it. By increasing the preferred stock to S2,000,000, and the common stock S0,0O0 shares, the company lets it be known it is in the business for keeps. The mail route at present being op- erated has been more in the nature of an experiment.; it at least con vinced the company that mail alone was insufficient to keep such a route 
 The company is not making the mistake of the original New Eng land railroad promoters by remain ing in New England. What the trunk line railroads have done for some other sections and ports other than in New England the New Eng land aircraft promoters propose to do for New England in the line of air transportation.

THEY CAN THANK THEIR
 LUCKY STARS!
Dear M. F. J.:

Dear M. F. J.:
 My swectie has funny ideas. He started talking a long time before Christmas about how foolish it was to give presents on Christmas. l thought it was just stall to throw me off the track, and didn't say anything. But sure enough, Christmas came around and he didn't give me a thing!
 It was two days after Christmas last Monday-and I was just writing him a letter telling him what I thought of such a cheap skate when package was delivered. It was an ivory manicure set from him. T want to give you gift" said his note, "but l also want to stick to my principles. So I give you this to- day, and 1t isn't a Christmas gift" TOrrid collies.
 THAT was my lucky day.

 Dear MT. Judell:
 They tore down an old building in our neighborhood recently, and a whole army of mice moved out of the old ruin. A fair percentage of them moved into our place.
 I was dismayed. They seemed to grow in numbers faster than traps could kill them off.
 In the midst of the nuisance, my husbands mother came to stay with us.
 After one day of it she left. l don't like mice, but I hate in- laws even worse.

 That was MY lucky day,
