Always Take Care
Of Your Money

In this day and generation the only
women who do not have to handle
money are very few very rich women.
It is fact that many very wealthy
woman almost never actually touches
money. She needs no car or taxi fares,
for she always has her own limousine
at her beck and call. She needs MOTH
Ing to pay for purchases little or big,
for she has accounts at every sort OF
shop.
If she is at a hotel she needs nothing,
because the bills she runs up in the
hotel restaurants are put down to her
general account. If she has a secre-
tary to take care of her correSpon-
dence and to manage her affairs the
secretary attends to tips md fees.
But most Of us do not dream OF
being so rich that we need not handle
money. In fact, with most of us the
more we have to handle the better
satisfied We are.
Never leave large amounts of money
In your purse. If possible have check
ing account md pay by check all but
small accounts. Have separate purse
for change and for bills. II you open
a general purse every time you want
q bit of carfare there is a chance that
you may let fall bill. The chance Is
remote. but it isn't worth taking.
If you have to carry or keep large
amounts of money. have a small bag
hanging around your neck or other

Some women think that If they stow
money away in some unusual place in
their house it will be safe. So they tuck

or iron bed, or behind a picture on
the wall or under the cover of the
family Bible But just remember that
thieves who enter houses to steal are
pretty good psychologists. They know

AIRCRAFT EXPORTS
SHOW RAPID RISE
Experts Anticipate Revenue
of $4,000, 900 This Year.
Increase Over 1927.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Americas rapidly developing air
mindedness" is responsible for an
amazing and unprecedented boom in
the aircraft industry. The leading
manufacturers of airplane motors and
other essential equipment are far be-
hind in their orders, like the makers
of popular automobiles. With the
growth in the domestic demand for
flying machines there is steady in
crease in the export of American avia-
ton equipment. In 1927 some So
100000 worth was sold abroad, This
year probably 100000 worth will be
sent to foreign countries. South
America is our principal export field.
France used to dominate 1t. Now the
LatinS are looking to the United States
for aviation supplies. The Lindbergh
goodwill tour across the Equator has
hal something to do with that.
Commerce Departments View.
Department of Commerce authorities
at Washington declare 1t is legitimate
to speak of aviation as one of the
fastest expanding industries in the
United States. Two or three years ago
manufacturers had to depend almost
exclusively upon Army and Navy Or
ders for aircraft. Now the civilian
demand is the principal source of
activity in the trade. The country is
being steadily dotted with new air mail
routes. with passenger and freight-car-
rying services and with so-called 10y
riding" lines operated for excursions
through local regions. The net result
has been the creation of a manufae-
turing industry that now rests on solid
foundations and has certain prospects
of growth.
In 1927 establishments engaged pri-
maril. in making aircraft built 1895
airplanes valued at $l4,504 ,999. The
total value of all lair products" was
$21,161,S53. The increase over the
previous year was 654 per cent in num-
Der of machines and sos per cent in
value. Nearly 5000 men and women
now earn wages in the aviation indus
try. Their pay envelopes this year will
aggregate close to $4,000. 600.
Engine Shortage.
1t is the shortage of airplane engines
that is now most marked. The three
leading manufacturers-the Wright
