The French government has held that the offspring of Ital- ians who settle in Tunis. must, unless their return to their na- tive land before their majority, be, considered as Tunisians.

 The plot hinges on the deter, mined attempt on the part of Gloria's fiance to tame her, and develops a host of humorous and thrilling incidents. Larry Gray, remembered for, his fine work op- posite Miss Swanson in Stage Struck" is again her leading man

It is in Western French Africa, in the region of Tibesti, and has heretofore been mostly renowned as the headquarters of desert robbers. For some other reason it has some value and Italy wants it.

Banks TAXED down the field and
brought his ship to a halt. Ordinarily
Chambliss is allowed but minutes to
refuel the plane from five-gallon cans,
but last night he took his time, as the
mail had not arrived from the city.
Yes, 1t was pretty nice tonight" :"
Banks replied to a question as to his
trip down. We've been having some
pretty tough breaks. The weather has
been rotten and we lost two men trying
to get the mail through. But things
ought to brighten up now; the weather

While the engine idled, Banks waited

the driver rushed up with two sacks
Of mail, taking in turn like number

dents Mar Service.

Despite the loss of two pilots and
countless battles with fog and treach-
erous flying weather, the New York
! Atlanta overnight air mail service has
emerged from its first month of oper-
alton with a splendid record for re-
liability. and pilots of the line last night
pitched into the second month with the
feeling that the link" has been cast
off and from now on there will be
smooth sailing and happy landings
A tabulation of the record of the
pilots plying between New York and
Richmond via Washington, was made
public last night by George E. Cham
bliss. local representative of Pitcairn
Aviation, Inc, and showed that but
four times during the month the mail
was trained" Two of these occasions
were brought about by the two fatal
accidents near Richmond, a third was
due to impossible flying conditions on
night when the transcontinental mail
line refused to fly and the fourth when
the pilot could not get through to
Washington from Richmond on account
of fog.
In addition TO these delays in the
delivery. there were two occasions when
the planes were noticeably behind
schedule-once when the Southbound
plane at Hadley Field, New Brunswick.
N. j., waited an hour in vain for the
overnight transcontinental ship, and
again when officials at Richmond re-
fused to permit northbound pilot to
take of until a favorable weather re-
port was received from Washington
Now and then the ships have been five
or ten minutes behind schedule but
Just as many times they have come in
