The achievements of the Air Mail
Service were forcefully brought to the
attention and to the amazement of his
colleagues In Congress by Representa-
tive Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania. author
He emphasized that 1t has resulted in
building up the aircraft industry and
In furnishing reservoir of men and
materials for the aviation development
which Is vital to any nation.
The contract Air Mail Service, II
1t had no other achievement than the
training of Col. Charles Lindbergh to
its credit, would be fully justified. He
was O contract air mail flyer and was
on leave OF absence when he made his
transatlantic fight.
It Is little more than 10 years ago
when the first mail plane started on the
flight from Washington to New York.
It was an inauspicious beginning. for
the pilot lost his way and was forced
to land without completing the trip.
The Post once Department con-
tinued its pioneer work, and the air
mail was q Government operation until
the enactment of the contract air mail
law. .
The service now carried about $780,
GOO pounds q year. while the total
weight of letter mail, excluding local
letters, post cards and so forth, is
343 .000,0 900 pounds year.
In other words, we are carrying ct
present by aircraft about / pound in
every 80. 1t Is not an exaggerated
statement to say that we shall ultimate
ly carry | pound In 10 by this speediest
Of all methods of transportation.
That means that we shall be carry
Ing 100000 pounds year or almost
100000 pounds month. It will be
six times the volume carried at present.
There are about 20 letters to the
pound, which at 5 cents per letter
means revenues Of % per pound.
Representative Kelly is ambitious to
see the Air Mail Service to Central and
South America develop. He says:
ut Is a vitally important policy, not
alone for the advancement of Our COM
merce with these countries, but for in
creasing mutual understanding and
friendship. It will bring all the re-
publics south of us into closer relation
ship with the United States, and any
thing which shortens distances adds to
neighborly feeling. The foreign air mail
service links up with our domestic serv-
ice, and all together makes for prog
ress OF which we may all feel proud"

Editorial Comment
Connie Mack's White Elephants
(Dul,th Hnra1d\

Fans the country over are greatly inter-
ested in the 1928 Athletics of Philadelphia,
always popular favorites in baseball circles
and rather more SO this year than before. Not
that your fan disikes Miller Huggins's world
champions, the New York Yankees of the
American league, led by Babe Ruth with his
big bat. But then those Yankees have now a
surfeit of baseball honors and the fans would
love to see old Connie Mack with his white ele-
plants lead the procession once more before
he dies or retires.
The Athletics of the City of Brotherly Love
revel in wholesome traditions. Philadelphia
usually has had good baseball teams. Refer
ring here only to the American league, dozen
years ago the Athletics were world champions.
They were SO good that the fans Of that big
village on the Delaware would not attend the
games because their team was sure to win. So
Mack, not making any money with a perfect
team, scrapped his organization and started
again with little but q bat bag and franchise.
For ten years he was in the hole. He tried
out some two hundred sand-lot boys and col
legians. His team was always colorful and
hopeful, but he could not make it on that line.
So now for about three years he has been hir-
ing big stars, and at last he has splendid
team. He has been almost but not quite at
the top for three years.
In 1927 he had the great Collins discarded
by Chicago. He had also the top-notcher of
them all at the bat and on the base lines, Ty
Cobb. This year he has taken on iris Speak
er, a great figure in the game, the only man
in the world who can play the outfeld and in.
field at the same time He has Collins again
and hopes to get Cobb once more if the money
holds out.
Then there are lot of other stars like
Groves, Rommel, Ehmke. Cockranc, Bush, Kill
lefer, Schang, Perkins and so on, not forgetting
q dozen or so ambitious youngsters yet ur-
known to fame, but believed in by the ivory
hunters.
The team is tuning up In Florida. Will they
win? Who can tell? But the fans like them
and wish them luck. If they fail the Athletics
will be good losers, and if they win they will
be good-natured champions, wearing the hon
ors gaily but not extensively. Full of color
they are, and governed temperament A spler-
did American team. Again, good luck to them.

the symptoms Of different disorders
as well as certain fundamentals OF
causes and possible cures.
For the next few days I am 60

important poin, which may be used
BY the patient in a self-analysis of
himself are as follows:
Stomach Pains
As far as the patient is concerned,
stomach pain usually means any
kind of a pa; from the border Of
the ribs down to the legs; any place
IN the abdomen which is that Sec
ton correctly called the belly. The
stomach organ, itself, should be sit
uated mostly to the left of the abdo-
men, and between the ribs and the
navel.
A pain in the pit Of the stomach
may be due to inflammation at the
opening of the stomach, or it may
be due to inflammation or conges-
ton n the gall bladder which ex-
tends from the right side under the
ribs often up to as far as the pit
of the stomach. II pain persist

entail diagnosis can sometimes be
ade by patient by taking a tea
spoonful of magnesia or baking soda
in a glass Of water. This will often
relieve q pain at the stomach en-
trance, but seldom has any effect
upon gall bladder symptoms.
Other pains in the stomach itself
occur from inflammation at the
lesser curvature or at the stomach
exit, which is called the pylorus. The
soda and water usually relieve the
pains in the stomach itself by re-
{ ing the inflammation or temper
arily counteracting an overacidity of
the digestive fluids which may ex-
list. In a case of stomach ulcers
even the soda and water sometimes
cause pain, where milk may give re-
lief. In severe cases it is not pos
sible to use any food or liquids
without intense pain.
The common forms Of gastritis or
stomach inflammation can be re-
lieved at least temporarily by the
drinking of large quantities Of wa
ter with the addition, if neccs. ary,
of some alkali such as soda.
Pains in the lower abdomen may
really be pains from the stomach,

Marye Dear;
BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES

Marye Dear:
If you were u little girl at home
I'd paddle you good for your be-
havior. AS it . hope you will pay
attention to what I have to say to
you. I'm not going to scold you be-
cause l .yant you always to tell me
your experiences and I'm afraid you
wouldn't do that if it censured you.
But I must warn you agains. de-
ceiving Alan even in little things,
Marye. Breaking a promise isn't a
little thing, though, and I'm sorry
you treat it so lightly.
Suppose ne learns that you per-
mitted someone to drive you at
eighty miles an hour after you had
promised him you wouldn't speed ?
He won't have any peace of mind
when you're out Of his sight. You're
perfectly willing to give up security
for thrills, know, but there isn't
much consider .tion for those who
love you in the recklessness of you
young people.
l almost feel like writing Alan
not to let you have q car but / guess
you would manage to talk him into
it anyway. And you might think
I'm trying to NEEDLE. Parents Of
ten have . hard decision to make in
regard to their married children,
Marye. Our advice to you is some
times construed a. interference but
l must risk It now to warn you
against the dangers Of this new
freedom you're 30 proud Of.
What do you suppose that young
Mr.. Bartlett Will think of you? In
deed, you are right when you say
wouldn't have called what you did
romantic. It would have been bold
in my day to lie to an officer and
then let q man throw his arms
around your shoulders in order to
carry out the deception. I'm sure
he m. st have . wrong opinion Of
you, Marye. and I hope you will let
him demonstrate the car to Alan in
the future.
And aren you afraic he officer
will find out that you were not tell
ing t. 2 truth? l think you'd bet
ter tell Alan what you did, Marye.
