about flying the mail, so here goes.
I took of at $3.50 o'clock one night
last September, flying the mail from
Philadelphia to New York. The first
thing knew a great black ball of
clouds piled up ahead. thought 1t
might be thunderstorm, but at first
couldn't see any lightning. So I kept
my course and barged into it.
Suddenly was flying blind in thick
clouds and there were great flashes of
dazzling lightning all around. 1t got
as bad to each side and behind me as
in front. There was no way to escape
except to abandon the plane and mail
and take to the parachute. So pushed
on.
Air Bumps Terrific.
The air pumps in the thunderstorm
were terrific, and they bounced me
around badly. They knocked me every
way but upside down. That lasted 80
miles. 1t was one of the worst thunder
storms I ever saw.
When got near Princeton a bolt
Of lightning went down past my wings
and nearly blinded me. It struck q
barn. The barn burned up.
I sure was in jam. The rain had
started, heavily, and the visibility
wasn't so good, even after I got down
out Of the clouds. The rain fairly
burned my face as I tried to peer over
the windshield.
finally got through all right, though,
and landed my mail at Hadley Field,
New Brunswick, N. j., the New York
air mail terminal.
This last Winter had a bad expert

MEXICAN DRY WAR
AIMED AT PULQUE
National Drink" Cheapiy
Made and Plentiful, to
Be Fought.
az che Associated pres..


MEXICO CITY June 22.--Although
it has not been specifically mentioned
by name, in the final analysis MeXico's
prohibition campaign, recently In
augurated by President Portes Gil and
now gaining momentum throughout the
country, Is in reality aimed at a single
alcoholic e-pulque-which Is
far and away the leading drink evil Of
Mexico
But because of the very factors that
make 1t the principal drink evil, the
abolition of pulque Is admittedly i'm
possible within short time. The most
earnest advocates of prohibition admit
that pulque can be abolished only after
long period Of years and by the
hardest efforts.
Substitutes for MILK, Too.
The factors that make pulque the
national drink of Mexico and its
productions the country's leading ag-
ricultural industry are its tradition, its
cheapness, its. availability and Its vir-
ual mandatory use as q substitute for
water and milk, which in some parts
Of the republic are almost unobtainable.
It Is consumed by millions of Mexicans
almost from birth, and frequently is
given to infants as o substitute for
milk.
In alcoholic content pulque is COM
parable with beer, although 1t has an
entirely different appearance. 1t is q
greater menace to health because Of
1t Is made and its peculiar intoxicating
effect which makes addicts vicious and
oftimes bloodthirsty.
From Masuey Plant
Puluue is a sticky. milk-like LIQUID
which comes from the maguey plant.
which either grows wild or Is cultivated
throughout the uplands of Mexico.
I The maguey plant cultivation occu-
pies nearly q million acres Of land and
1t is estimated that pulque production
gives employment to 100000 people.
or 10 per cent Of the population Of
Mexico.
The department Of statistics esti-
mates that the years per capita con-
sumption in the nine principal pulque-
producing states is 458 1iters, or about O
quart and a half daily for each man,
women and child.
Nature Ferments II.
Nearly every President since Diaz has
openly opposed pulque, but all have
made small Roadway toward its aboli-
| ton. Madero viewed 1t as one of the
tried unsuccessfully to prohibit 1t,
while Gales publicly declared that
he was an enemy Of pulque because
it is prejudicial to our people"
No machinery is required to make
the drink. The great maguey plants,
reaching their maturity In six or eight
, years, are tapped and daily give a
quart or more of sticky juice. Nature
looks after its fermentation into pulque.
The product is never bottled. but is
! poured into barrels and ladled out at
retail.
B0ttling II Is Started.
One economic measure now being
considered is the gradual substitution
| of other crops for maguey. so that If
prohibition Of pulque ever becomes
effective 1t would not amount TO ma
tional economic disaster.
Another measure already inaugu-
| rated In some places Is to require bot
