Made Aerial Survey

The flight was undertaken to make
an aerial survey in the inundated
territory of New Guinea, Papau, and
the Pacific Islands, as routine work
for the aviation service. By photo
graphs they brought back material
for charts that would have taken
months to accomplish by surface YES
sells. This work, and mechanical
troubles in the early stages of the
flight, necessitated leisurely out
ward journey, the 5000 miles to Tul-
agi occupying forty-two days. Orig
inally it was intended that the all
men should proceed to Apia, Samoa,
involving 1000 more miles, but after
the early delays, it was considered
inadvisable to go beyond Tulagi,
owing to the lateness of the season
and the consequent appearance of
the monsoons.
So from Tulagi Capt. Williams

turn flight in daily hops of 700 miles
and despite rests of a few days he
was back in Melbourne twelve days
after leaving Tulagi.

ROYALTY BREAKS

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Feb. 25.-King George
and the Prince of Wales broke all
fashion edicts at 4recent dinner
given here. Both of them appeared
at the dinner in full dress, wearing
black waistcoats.
The reason given for this change
in the usual attire is that the royal
family is still in informal mourn
ing for the Emperor of Japan. Al
though King George does not strict
ly enforce court mourning for the
entire court, he is very strict with
the inner circle, which includes the
immediate members of the royal
family.
This observance was first insti-
tuted for members of the royal fam
lily by the present kings father,
King Edward.
1t is recalled that while the entire
court was in mourning for the late
Queen Alexandra, the Prince OF
Wales attended several functions in

Tuberculosis Fifth,

when the tuberculosis campaign
was Begun, tuberculosis was the
leading cause Of death in the United
States. The new figures Of the
United States Bureau of the Census
indicate that heart disease heads the
list, as cause of death, with nephritis
as second cause and tuberculosis as
fifth.
s'The United States has saved as
a result Of this decline in the death
rate in 1925 alone, the huge sum of
over $3.50, 100000. valuing each hui
man life at $4,000. This gain is net
over and above other savings that
cannot be computed plus the saw

Dead Letter Job Has Problem
of Its Own, Workers Declare

WASHINGTON, d. C., June 10
Working in the dead letter office
of the United States Postoffice De-
partment has its drawbacks. When
a package is opened in this division
il is nothing unsual to find a
horned toad, centipede, chame-
leon, spirit photographs, poker
chips, opium pipes, and other I'M
usual articles, Postmaster General
News said today.
Poisonous animals, living as we'll
as dead, have been received at the
office, and the clerks open packages
with the greatest of care. Visitors
to Arizona and points west have
been known to send home a few
horned toads as typical souvenirs
from regions explored, and it is
said that live gila monster was
forwarded at second-class rates.
So whenever a package finds its
way to the dead letter office those
in charge use the utmost caution
in opening it. But the clerks in
charge of this work like it. They
claim il is the most interesting
work in the entire postal service.
Many Undelivered
In 1926 more than 24,000,000 un-
deliverable letters were received
and disposed of in the dead letter
service, an increase of 2,724,696, or
12.7 per cent over the number han
died the preceding year. The rec
ords of the Division of Dead Letters
and Dead Parcel Post show that
more than 10,S00,0O0 unbelievable
circulars were d. stroyed during the
past year. This condition is brought
about most by the use of obsolete
mailing lists, the department states.
Nearly 100000 letters contain
ing Enclosures of value, such as
money, stamps, drafts, money or
ders, checks and commercial papers
of similar importance were received
by the office of the dead letter serv-
ice the last year.
Money found in dead letters and
loose in the mails amounted to
sl09,623.22, a decrease of s4,0S2.7O
from the preceding year. Of this
amount, s75,626.86 was restored to
the owners. The Nominal value of
drafts, money orders. checks, etc,
found in dead letters was s5,530,-
