1t is pity for many reasons that
the United States transcontinental air
service should be broken up. The
last Of the contracts with private COM
panies has now been made by the
Post Office Department, which will
wipe out every vestige Of an efficient
organization. The idea, of course, is
to promote commercial aviation, with
lines carrying both mail and passen-
gers; but these must be profitable If
they are to be given into private
hands, and there is a chance that
useful routes may fail to come into
being for lack of Government enter
prise. Already some contractors in
the service have failed or had their
contracts Cancelled. Eshould not the

Revival of an Old One

did in the early nineties on one of
those excursion boats plying Lake
Erie to Put In Bay or Pregu Isle, or
some other fancifully-named port and
they were just outside the window of
an excursionist who wanted to sleep.
The boy friend, or gentleman friend
as they called them in the aforesaid
nineties, was begging her for kiss
and she was coy and hanging back;
in other words she was slow about de-
livering the goods, or coming across
or whatever sheiks and lasses Of to-
day say. Well, he kept on trying to
get that kiss and suddenly the window
Of the wanter of sleep went up with
a bang and he sad'
"For God sake, give him kiss and
let me go to sleep"
Yes, he got the kiss and others.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
May Be the Heart or the Kidneys

Mrs. E. A. H. writes: 81 have beer
sick over a year. It. started with
palpitation of the heart and it has
bothered me ever since. Sometimes
it seems SO weak that it nearly stops.
Sometimes it beats 80 and on excite
ment it goes to 120. It never skips
any beats.
AT night | wake up and find limbs
are numb. Have very little feeling
in body. When | walk it feels like
water running through limbs or like
walking on sticks.
Cd Could the muscles Of the heart
be so weak that it could stop without
any organic or yalyular trouble.
"(2) Have no swelling Of the limbs.
Could my heart be as weak as I think
without causing swelling of limbs?
L am 43 years old, have had six
children, and am healthy in every
other way. But | am weak and de-.
spondent, can hardly walk sometimes.
and get dizzy spells"
Reply
Your heart trouble may be Just one
manifestation of general nervous de-
preston, or it may be organic. Al
physical examination would be neces-
sary to establish which. Judging from
your symptoms | am inclined to be-
lleve that the trouble is organic. I
would not be surprised to find that
your kidneys are affected, perhaps
more SO than your heart.
% The heart muscle could be de-
generated sufficiently to cause 'heart
allure" in the absence of valvular
disease.
(2) If the heart is compensating
or a valvular defect there is no swell
ng of the limbs, even though the le-
ion itself is serious.
The sensible thing for you to do is
onsult competent physician to de-
ermlne the exact nature of your
rouble and prescribe appropriate
reatment.

DODGE CAbRI0LET
ROADSTER UNIQUE
AMONG MOTOR CARS

Dodge Brothers, Inc, this week
announces the second car in it's six
cylinder line-a cabriolet roadster
which is unique among fine motor
cars. 1t is a companion car to the Sc
dan which has been the subject of so
much favorable comment since it
was introduced early this month. In
the opinion of those who have had an
opportunity to study this new roadster
it is worthy mate to the strikingly
beautiful sedan and everyone who has
ridden in it agrees that it surpasses
both in appearance and performance
other cars in its price class and many
which sell for considerably higher
prices.
It is a new car in every way. Built
with long and graceful lines sugges-
tive of great power and speed, this
promise is amply fulfilled when the
car is made to perform either in heavy
traffic or on the open road.
AN entirely new feature of this
car" says Ed Olcott, Dodge Brothers
Dealer, ''is the way in which the top
is constructed. Prior to this time the
tops of all cabriolets have been de-
tachable from the windshield pillars
and have folded back from this point.
In this Dodge Brothers cabriolet this
principle is discarded. The front of
the top is built integral with the wind
shield pillars. Only the back quar-
ter can be lowered, the break being
made at the pillars of the rear of
the doors. This type of construction
represents the most advanced ideas +
in design and has the important adj
vantage of giving unusual rigidity
and strength to the top.
"The entire front of the car is dis
5inctively new. 1t is built like the
popular six cylinder sedan, with deep
,adiator, rather high and surrounded
BY barely more than rim of polish
ID shell which is of uniform width
save at the top where it widens out
o form a background for the new
zeal of Dodge Brothers Senior.
"The rumble seat is more spacious
han is to be found on most cars and
n its construction every effort has
,een made to insure that it will be
most comfortable, even on the longest
rips.
@The upholstery is Of the finest
Gather, harmonizing with the other
etails Of interior trim, the whole
lending into a masterpiece Of de-
igning and engineering skill.
"a compartment for carrying golf
lubs is built under the drivers seat
nd is unlocked by the same key
which unlocks the door, the theft lock
nd the rumble seat.
Equipment includes clear vision
ne piece windshield, hinged at the
op and swinging outward for venti- {
alton. The windshield is operated by
self-locking crank mechanism and
as the merit that it can be opened
tide for safe driving in sleety wea-
her. In further detail equipment in !
ludes an automatic windshield clean ;
r, tire carrier with spare wheel or
i'm, rear signal light, front and rear
Motometer and interior
ear view mirror. A fine 8-day clock
nd fuel gauge are among the in
5ruments attractively grouped under
single glass panel on the dash.".
