Salary of Air Mail
 Pilots S4,000 and Up

Washington, Dec. IT Rt-The lure of flying holds it's monetary reward, at least for the air mail pilot.
 The aviator postman receives an annual salary of between $4,000 and s9,0Oo. The high pay, plus the de- sire for the excitement of flying, re- gently cause two field superintend- ents of the service to desert ground jobs and return to piloting. Both now fly regular mail routes.
 The mail pilot receives base pay of between s2,000 and S3,600, de- pending on length of service, and is paid in addition by the mile for fly ing service. For daylight flying he receives a five cent rate between Cleveland and Cheyenne, six cents between Cheyenne and Reno, and seven cents between New York and Cleveland, and between Reno and San Francisco. For night flying the mileage scale is doubled.

After 20 years Sir James l Tyrrell alleged that, on the refusal of Blackenbury constable of the tower. to murder the princes at Richards instigation, he himself, with two servants had smothered them in their sleep. The testimony of Tyrrell, notorious blackguard in the reign of Henry VII. and the enemy and successor of Richard, is by no means above suspicion. In the reign of Charles II. two skele- tons were found at the foot of a staircase of the white tower and were buried in Westminster Abbey as the remains of the two princes. o. What Is a "riflebird"?

The fe- male is much more plainly colored. The name was given by early Aus tralian settlers in allusion to the resemblance between the plumage of the male bird and the uniform of one of the familiar rifle brigades. Q. What is the comparison for 1926 and 1925 of aliens admitted to the United States and those de- | parting?
