SALARY OF AIR MAIL
 PILOTS s4,00O AND UP

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (P)-The lure of flying holds it's monetary re- ward, at least for the air mail pilot
 The aviator postman recieves an an- nual salary of between S4,000 and S9,- OOO The high pay plus the desire for the excitement of flying, recent ly caused two field superintendents of the service to desert ground jobs and return to piloting. Both now fly reg ular mail routes.
 The mail pilot receives a base pay of between s2,OOO and $3,6OO, depend ing on length of service, and is paid in addition by the mile for flying ser vice. For daylight flying he receives a five-cent rate between Cleveland and Cheyenne, six cents between Chey- enne and Reno, and seven cents be- tween Reno and San Francisco For night flying the mileage scale is doubled
 The hazards of mail piloting are held by postal officials to justify the pay.

TWO MIGHTY STARS.
The Heaviest Substance.

The Heaviest Substance.
A scientific discovery which, in its
significance, is considered to be as I'M,
portant as Einstein's famous Theory of
Relatively which it supports-has been
made as a result Of special examina-
ton of one of the stare called white
dwarfs."
These particular stars. of which only
two are known to astronomers. are very
small in comparison with most Of the
known heavenly bocies, and they shine
very family,
That which has been the subject of
special investigation is a conn anton Of
Sirius. the brightest star in the sky.
Following some astonishingly accurate
theoretical predictions by Prof. A. S.
Fddington, OF Can bridge. DR.. w. S.
Adams, of Mount Wilson Observatory,
U.S.A., has proved-with the aid OF a
100 inch telescope, the biggest in the
wOrld-that matter under stellar condi-
tons can and actually does attain a
density many thousands of times greater
than that Of any form Of matter found
in The world.
1t has been computed, for instance,
that the substance of the tested star
is So, 600 times heavier than water and
TO- GOO tines heavier than iron.
1t is believed that this extraordinary
quality of the star indicates hat The
white dwarfs" are the Oldest stars IN
the universe.
Explaining the nature of the discov-
cry to a Daily Mail reporter, Professor
Herbert DingIe, department of astronO-
mical physics, Imperial College of Sci
ence and Technology, South Kensing-
ton, S. w, said that previously no one
had any idea that there We're any stars
of such an amazing character, though
it was thought that certain stars had a
greater density than others. He said:
1T is all a mystery. 1t is more than
probable hat the reason for the great
weight of the matter of which the
white dwarfs" are composed is to be
found in the theory that as the stars
grow old" they contract"
Prof. Dingle pointed out that so heavy
is the substance of the white dwarfs"
that a child would not be able to lift a
piece of it of the size of & renny. A
lump of it sufficiently small to fiji a pint
jug would weigh considerably over %
tons.
IF it were possible for a lump a foot
square to fall on the earth it would do
enormous damage" said Prof. DIngle.
