NIGHT FLYING IS MAKING
 AMERICAN AIR MAIL SERV-
 ICE A PAYING PROPOSITION

WASHINGTON = "Fly by nights" have put American commercial avia- tion on it's feet, and night flying is making air mail service paying proposition without any of the Gov ernment subsidies found necessary in Europe, believes William P. Mo Ii acken, Jr., assistant secretary of commerce for aviation.
 Although few years ago Amer ican commercial flying was consider ably behind that of Europe, he says, the American service is making up it's handicaps by leaps and bounds, large ly because of the greater proportion of night flying done in this country.
 In Europe, stop-overs are made at night by commercial airplanes, often making it necessary to fly through parts of two days when single night would have sufficed
 In the United States, however, night flying has made it possible to transfer business mail and checks be- tween many cities without the loss of business day in transit, thus saving many hundreds of thousands of dol lars in interest payments for banks alone.
 The result has been a doubling of the amount of mail carried, which to- taled 1854, ,165 pounds last year, as compared with S10,855 pounds in 1926.
 The total of American air mail con- tractors earnings, in federal pay ments for mail transport alone. amounted last year to S2,364 ,946. This does not constitute a federal ex- pense, as it would at first appear, since the payments are counterbal- anced by the Governments receipts from air mail stamp sales, but it does mean that air mail carrying in this country is becoming money making profession without the prop of Gov ernment subsidies. In Europe, on, the contrary, government subsidies paid to the mail contractors amount to one-third of their operating expenses.
 In every 24 hours, McCracken says, a total of some 5000 miles is flown by night in this country, whereas ill Europe the only night flying done is over the 400-mile Berlin to Moscow rout. American preponderance in night flying is even more marked in view of our inferiority in total mile age flown both day and night. This 24-hour total fir the United States av- erages only 23,0O0 miles, against a European total of 10000 miles.
 This country has air routes totaling only one-third the length of those in Europe, 10,710 miles, compared to 5000 miles on the continent, accord ing to the department of commerce figures. But 5000 miles of our air routes are now lighted and regular night flying is done from New York to Chicago, Chicago to Dallas, Chi cago to St. Louis, Chicago to San Francisco, Los Angeles to Seattle, Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, and Cheyenne to Pueblo.

the checks will be in the hands of the

1t would have been necessary to pro-
rate the indemnities as was done
once in the past.
In the counties comprising the
fourth district, in which the hail tax
is the heaviest, the indemnity tax is
something of a burden, Hagen said,
but asserted that the correct value
OF the department to the farmers

HARDY FOREFATHERS? YES-BUT They
LACKED HEALTH ENJOYED BY M0DERNS

t., old days a railroader old enough
to have gray hair was expected to be
minus finger or two at the very
least. 1t was as much taken for
granted as the bumped shoulders Of
the cobbler or the rolling gait Of the
sailor. And, speaking of sailors
| those familiar with the sea knew am
other way of telling a scafaring man
when they saw one. When eating, he
would automatically knock his bread,
edge downward, on the edge Of the
table before eating it. At sea, this
was necessary to jar the weevils out
Of the ship biscuits, and every sailor
got the habit in those romantic,
glorious days of the sea.
Workmen's compensation laws
were unheard of in the old days. Few
factory owners dreamed of installing
safety devices about the machinery;
and the long hours and poorly venti-
lated workrooms, led to fatigue and
mental exhaustion that made the
workman far more liable to acct
dents than he is today.
liz kOOu Olu Jays look line,
from this distance. We swallow ali
the old traditions at face value, and
we feel that there must have been a
SAVIOR to life in the old days that is
lacking now. But we simply shut
our eyes to the facts.
The workingman in the good old
days was grossly underpaid. AS a
result, he was often underfed. He
could not organize to better his
working conditions or his pay; he
was simply there to be exploited.
and the early industrialists did an
excellent job Of it. In the things
that make life pleasant and worth
living-good food, decent hours of
leisure, comfortable living condi-
tions. bodily health, the chance to
educate his children and fit them
for something better than he had
ever known-the average citizen of
today is go far ahead of his ances-
tors that there is no comparison.
We have, after all, a good deal
to be thankful for this Thanksriv-
ing week.
