AIR-RAIL SERVICE STARTS

What seemed wild fantasy when it was first
broached less than year ago combination of plane
and train service is reality the first airplane
to be engaged in this latest transportation STEP having
left Los Angeles yesterday. Hereafter the service
will be operated daily.
The plane will carry its passengers as far as Ell
Paso at which point they will board train, which
will carry them through the night. In the morning
they will again be picked up by the plane and carried
into ST Louis. In this way they will reach their des
tnaon at the latter point eighteen hours earlier than
if they travelled by rail all the distance.
Travelling westward those taking advantage of the
service will be carried to FL Paso by train at which
point they will board an airplane for the coast
Eighteen hours is considerable saving for a
businessman for those called to travel in

the shelf and took down the big,
heavy dictionary book, with many
hard words in it. The bunny raised
the book high in the air and said:
Gwen begin with this!" he
said. And with that he banged the
big, heavy book down hard upon the
head of the Bob Cat, knocking off
his false face and sending the Bad
Chap skidding out of the door.
"Hal Ha!' laughed Mr.. Longears
as he saw the Bob Cat bump down
the front steps, ''to the foot Of the

The Bob Cat picked himself up
and limped back to the woods.
"Well!" said the Fox as he met
