xeryice for mail and passengers ac-
rorflinS TO John X. Montgomery vice
president of the corporation. -.
Al present mail steamers leave Key
West at $50 am. and arrive IN ria.
>~vana at 3 p.m.. but when the air man
service between the two points is IN
eugurated, about October i, the tiiile
between the two points VIII Dc re-
duced to about ! hour. 1t is pan
ned to send the plane out each morn
ing at s o'clock, and as the distance
is only 80 miles, the ship shouid
arrive at Havana at 3 O'CLOCK.
In Offering to carry the man. the
Pan-American Always bid 4O12 cents
per pound, while its only competitor,
the Cuban-American Air Lines inc
of Miami, Fla, bid 46 cents.
Mr.. MONTGOMERY said the proposed
air service would link up the United
States, Cuba, British Honduras, Guate'
mala, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua.
Costa RIGA, Panama and the Canal
Zone and make connections with
steamship services to the west and
north coasts of South America. BY

For the Key West-Havana air mail
service, the corporation is having
three Fokker three-engined mono

the, ships, room is available for pas
sengers between the two cities. The
Cuban government, according to Mr..

agreement with the Pan.American

tween Havana and Key West, as the
American contract provides for car
rying the mail southwark only. Cuba
will charge cents for letters carried
by air between the two cities and
intends issuing a special air mail

foreign service. air mail postage is
not necessary for letters originating
in the United States and addressed
to Cuba.

the Army Air Corps Reserves, has
lived in Washington for the past sew
eral years prior to taking up his
present connections with the New
York air transport corporation. For
more than two years he has been
studying possibilities of an aerial
route from New York to Panama.

Prospects for continued good
building conditions" throughout the
city this year are anticipated by
Holloway. He has been active for
a number Of years in local building
work, particularly in the construc-
ton of small houses in newer Sec
tons of the suburban territory sur
rounding Indianapolis.
Holloway has been engaged in as
sisting in the development of Speed
way Terrace, west Of the city on the
Rockville Rd. He believes the
general demand for small houses IS
an economical move for home owners
as we'll as builders. Such type OF
construction work does not tie up in
definitely a large amount of invested
capital, he explained, and did not
place upon home owners the large
financial responsibilities.
Il am a believer in the small house
building program. and believe that
the general demand will continue for
small, compact houses" he said.
Much experimenting has been
done in various types of building ma
terials, but of course frame homes
will remain with us for some time.
older countries have adopted more
substantial materials. stone and
brick. which have endured through
the ages, but improved workman
ship and materials of wood have
enabled us to keep pace with de-

And Gurgles up in Sour
Risings or Heartburn

Try a little diapepsin. Beats the
world for stomach comfort. Hard to
tell what upsets stomach. Some
times it's milk or fresh bread or
steak and onions. Almost anything
will cause gas, biliousness or heart
burn. But whatever it is diapepsin
works like magic. 1t actually di-
gests food, rests the stomach, alb
serbs the sour, acid. brashy risings
from whatever cause. Even in the
morning, if you get up with a coated
tongue, feel nauseated and the
thought OF breakfast repels food, one
or two diapepsins will make you feel
good and want to eat.
ANYONE at the mercy Of restau-
rants and lunch counters can forti-
fy their stomach against trouble
with one or two diapepsins after
eating.
