SHAME 0NE.ARMED PAPER HANGER NOW
TranSCOntinental Plane COurierS
 Are Busy Men Indeed

New York, Aug. g CP> - The trans-continental air-rail lines, three of which are now in opera ton besides marking an epoch in the history of transportation may do something toward enriching the language with few similes and such.
 It may become a commonplace. for instance, to speak of a man of many duties as being 'as busy as transcontinental plane courier"
 These couriers-there is one on each plane-are combination con- ductors, porters, walters, news boys counselors and guides. They are young fellows of education and fine upbringing who are starting at the bottom and working their way up, which ought to be easy for them. as they go up a long way from the bottom, as represented by the ground, four to six times a day.
 The couriers see that the passen- gers baggage is slowed away, big pieces in the wing and small ones in the overhead racks: hand out newspapers and magazines; put up the individual tables, set them, and serve lunch: collect tickets; point out spots of interest in the scenery, distribute cotton for the travellers ears; and on occasion offer their ministration to those who find the currents of the air as disturbing as the pillows of the deep.
 There also are plenty of prob lens not on the schedule that must be met as encountered. On the re- icently completed inaugural journey of the transcontinental air trans port, the plane-train line with which Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is connected, courier who is the son of railroad vice president discov- cred that the gilded aluminium cups in which he apparently was expect cd to serve coffee, had absolutely no bottoms at all.
 He was noticed puzzling over the phenomenon by a passenger who learned resourcefulness by such things as running flying school and crossing the Atlantic in a dory and by a reporter who had been here and there. and the three went into consultation.
 As the plane whirled along 5000 feet over the painted desert of the southwest they pondered the com pleXities of modern life and the

what he was talking about. So l re- cided to investigate for myself.
 Two of my good friends joined me in my experiences and soon l be- came a convinced spiritualist.
 "To those among the intelligent people who disbelieve in spiritual ism" concluded Sir Arthur. T sus- gcst that before they condemn our psychic experiments as untrue and before they seek to ridicui> them, they do like I myself did. Let them investigate independently. Let them read some of the two thousand or more books which have been written by men of various nationalitics, many of whom are distinguished in the world of science. Then. when they know something about our work. let those who seek the light of truth conduct their own eXperl- ments. Only when they have done this may they honestly decide for themselves who shall be ridiculed.'

passengers gave it up, declining even to try to drink coffee out of a cup without bottom. Then the courier discovered that his lunch kit also contained china cups which fitted neatly inside the gilded ones and the problem was solved.
 At Kansas City, on the way east ward. herd of very lively and in quisitive flies slowed away on the plane, announcing their presence when the ship was on it's way to St. Louis. The windows were opened and throughout the two- hour jour- ney, the courier, the son of cap- tain in the navy, stalked up and down the aisle lunging at flies with a folded magazine. His attack was so remorseless that most of the flies decided to walk home; the others being swept out by the courier at St. Louis.
 And so it goes with the couriers, who thus presumably gain exper- fence and an ability to meet emer- gencies which will make them in all good time, officials of the line.

CONAN DOYLE SAYS

London, Aug. 9.-(UP)-Sitting in His Psychic Bookshop"-scarcely more than stones throw from Scot land Yard-a tall, thick set man with bushy eyebrows known 10 every man. woman or child who has read the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, held out both hands, palms down, over a small table:
 "This." he said glancing signifl- cantly from the outstretched tip of his fingers to the face of his auditor, lis how it is done" And the occasion was made all the more impressive because of the slow manner and low tone of voice in which he spoke.
 It was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, famed writer of detective stories and acknowledged by many. to be the leader of the Spiritualist movement Throughout the world, showing the United Press correspondent the proper way 10 start table-turnlng experiment.
 Sir Arthur did this during the course of an exclusive interview Tn which he revealed how after read ing an American book, frot. the agnostic which he claimed ,o De he became an ardent spiritualist. lie also discussed very frankly some of the most important issues of spirit ualism and in answer to questions expressed the belief that:
