CHEYENNE, Wyo., April "a
Travelling across the continent in a
mail airplane is not as comfortable
as riding the soft cushions of a
railroad car, several pilots of the air
mail service have learned.
A new malady has visited the
pilots who traverse the Rocky Noun
tains in daily flights air bump

sprains Of the back and often the
limbs.
Recently two pilots. after flying
through a heavy wind and rough

currents from dssimilar terrain
probably are worse over the Rocky

NO SUCH THING AS

There's no such thing as an Amer

a goatee and an ignorance Of the
rules of etiquette.
English newspapers have had
much to say of the 'hick,' declaring
that Americans are uncouth and un-
civilized.
MY analysis is that the tastes OF
the country people are pretty well
keyed together, that Americans are
an open air people. loving and under
standing the big places, and that the
'hick does not exist. but what the
European calls the 'hick' is the es
sence of Americanism. American
psychology is the same throughout

HOUSES TRADE
IN TAX BILL

The conference deliberations over
the new tax reduction bill entered
the trading stage today with Sen.
ate and House conferees proposing
compromises over conflicting rates.
Rumors slipped through the locked
doors or the conference room that
one compromise involved enactment
of the Senate proposals on cor.
poration and capital stock taxes in
return for adoption Of the House
estate tax rates.
II adopted, this would result IN
levying of a 1914 per cert tax on
corporations, repeal Of the capitai
stock tax, and adoption OF a 20
per cent maximum estate tax, with
provision giving estates credit up
to 80 per cent of their Federal tax
for all taxes paid to the States.
1t also was reported that the
House tax on automobiles and
motorcycles, a reduction of the
present per cent tax to per
cent, would be adopted to Increase
the bills revenue. "A second re-
promise would stop with tax OF
only liz per cent on automobiles.
On admission taxes, 1t was re-
ported the compromise would re.
suit in retention of the existing 10
per cent tax, with exemptions
raised to rs cents and the legitimate
drama exempted up to $3.50. As
the Senate twice voted to reject all
admission taxes, this compromise
might face difficult shedding before
final adoption.
Both groups have announced they
win try to report out q final draft
by saturday or Monday.

We may win or lose, but the boys
are determined to play their best.
If Stanford is victor, we at least
want the satisfaction of knowing il

bama did all it could.
Coach Wade and the boys have
great respect for "Pop" Warner

pcct to face smarter team than
a year ago when we, beat Washing

Due to this respect. the Crimson
Tide is going into the game i'll an
excellent frame of mind. We re
not scared stiff and we re not over
confident.
We believe if we play bang-up
game and remain widea wake, vic
tory Will be ours. The team is in
good physical condition, in better
shape perhaps than at any time dur
ing the regular season.
Much depends on the line func,
tions. If the forwards charge hard
and fast, as they expect to, the Card
inals will have to hustle to work
their tricks.
Warmers players need time to get
their plays completed. The more an
opponent rushes them, the less OF

Stanford's style is a threat every
minute of the game, and our backs

AS for our little backs, believe
thcv can score with good support.
If they are blocking up to form,
there is little doubt Other teams
