FOR THOSE WHO HURRY
BUSINESSMEN in the United

- States today have at their dis
posal the fastest means of COM
munication the world has ever
known. The telegraph, the tele-
phone, the radio, and, last and
most important. the air mail, of
fer unparalleled opportunities to
the man who must have his mes
sages rushed.
The air mail is the newest and
least expensive means of quick
communication in the world at
present. The time it takes a letter
to go from Kennewick to New
York via air mail is only 81 hours,
less than half the amount neces-
sary if it be sent by train. This
saving is better understood if we
realize that one can send letter
by air mail to New York and re-
ceive reply in the same length
of time it would take a letter to
go one way by train. The saving
if letter is sent to California
points, is nearly as great. It takes
the fastest trains. plying between
here and California "a hours to
get to San Francisco, 81 to Los
Angeles, whereas the air mail
makes the journey from Kenne-
wick to San Francisco in 10 hours,
a saving of 16. hours, and to Los
Angeles in "a hours, a saving of
80 hours. The economy in time be-
tween here and other points in the
east and middle west and other
California cities is proportionate
to the distance.
The cost of air mail is ten cents
per half ounce anywhere in the
u. S. For twenty cents, the usual
letter is not more than one-half
ounce, one can send letter by air
mail and special delivery, thus be-
ing sure of the utmost promptness.
Establishment of air mail routes
in the u. S. was a big step for
ward and speaks well of the pro-
gressiveness of the present post
master general.

PRESENT DAY MIRACLES

THEY tell US the day of miracles

doubt it. 1t is now possible to turn
darkness into day by simply touch
ing button. A stream of water
flows from the solid wall by a
simple twist of the wrist. Any
voice you desire comes to you thru
the telephone box. Distance is no
drawback. Voices of the dead
speak to you through the phono-
graph disc. Pictures are being sent
through the air. The music of
bands, orchestras, opera singers.
orators come at your command by
radio, whether you are located on
mountain top, in cave, on the
broad plain, in the air, or in mid

cision, out of the great void. Ships
now travel beneath the waves ant

HAZARDS OF AVIATION

hUITE a number of avlatOrs
" have lost their lives this year.
These tragedies are a reminder
that the art of navigation has still
great deal to learn. Much re-
mains to be done before flights
across the great ocean spaces are
made with regularity and safety.
The splendid and confident young
fliers who have lost their lives in
the effort to develop this art, set
a wonderful example Of courage.
These sad fatalities are a great
loss to the world, which needs the
dautless fearlessness of these adj
venturous spirits. They have serv-
ed a purpose in the development
of this great science.
But one can't help feeling that
many aviators are too venture
some, and in too much of a hurry
to win fame and reward. A new
art like that of flying can not be
learned in haste, but by slow and
patient experiment people have to
conquer the obstacles in the way.

A WORD ABOUT PUBLICITY

MANY and varied are the adver-
~ tisements which greet ones
eyes in the magazines of today, but
in the Literary Digest this week
we saw one that startled us a lit
tle-an ad telling about book
that would teach one how to get
mis- name and picture in the pa
pers. All one would have to do,
apparently, to get publicity would
be to read the book and follow it's
advice. Maybe true enough, how
ever the book cost $3.50 and we'll
tell you here and now for nothing:
If you want publicity do some
thing deserving of publicity.
The trouble with the majority
of people these days is that they
seek more publicity than they earn.
Not a day passes but what sew
eral dozen letters from people and
firms seeking publicity pile up on
an editors desk. Possibly ninty-
nine percent Of these are swept
hurriedly into the waste basket.
Few contain what is considered to
be news and are published.
If you have a craving to see
your name in 48-point type on the
front page get out and do some-
thing worthwhile and it will be
placed there readily enough.

Talking about doing a thing
will never teach a child to do it.
Get him to do it so often that he
cannot help doing it. Never let the
child cross a mat without using
it; do not let him leave the room
until the pajamas are hung up, so
that he will always. feel subcon-
sciously that something is wrong
until they are put away. These
and all other habits can only be

LAUGHS

r AUGHTER, while it lasts, UNI
~ braces and slackens the minds,
weakens the faculties, and causes
a kind of remissness and dissolu-
ton in all powers of the soul; and
thus far it must be looked upon as
a weakness in the composition OF
human nature. But when one con-
siders the frequent reliefs the hui
man body receives from it, and
how often it breaks the gloom,
which is apt to depress the mind
and dampen the spirits, with tran
sient, unexpected CLEANS of JOY,
one would take care not to grow
too wise for so great a pleasure
of life," is one of the rarest gems
of wisdom that ever came from the
pen of Joseph Addison, English
man of letters.
These words from the seven
teenth century are as true today
as they were when Addison con-
ceived them. Men and women ir

TEACHING HABITS

"No matter how l talk and scold
Harry always leaves his pajamas
on the floor in the morning and he
always comes in without wiping his
feet on the mat" I heard mother
complain. 81 tell him. and tell him
every day, and still he continues
being careless about such things"
l knew Harry's mother well and
I thot would just watch and list
en- to see how she taught her boy
to form right habits. In few
minutes in came Harry, bounding
up the steps and into the house.
Mother, look what I've found, "
he shouted. his face eager and
flushed as he held out his cap with
butterfly in it.
"Just look at your shoes. Harry.
How often must tell you to wipe
them? And I've just cleaned the
floor" was the answer.
Harry looked at his feet, the en-
thusiasm fading from his face,
and with downcast look, taking
his cap and the butterfly, he went
on out.
A sadness filed me so that for
a moment could not speak. There
was the child so eager to share
his excitement with his mother,
craving her sympathy. and how
had she met his enthusiastic soul |?
With rebuke that sent him away
disappointed. He did not wipe his
feet; he went out and did not re-
return until dinner time. The in
cident set me thinking! what
should the mother have done :?
Surely the muddy shoes and the
clean floor were insignificant be-
side the opportunity for mother
and child to get close to each
other. Might she not have disre-
garded them for the moment in
consideration of the child's eag-
], erness and have rejoiced with him
over the insect and admired its
beauty? She could then have
gently called attention to his
/ lapse and asked him to slip Out
and wipe his feet while she got
down the nature book to look uI
the name of the species.
