FAST AIR SERVICE
FROM D. c. PLANNED
90-Minute Flights to Link
Washington and New York
Over Established Line.

Ninety-minute passenger service be-
tween the National Capital and New
York will be established this Spring by
the Washington-New York Air Line,
which has been operating an aerial
passenger service between the two cities
for more than year.
Orders have been placed for three
Lockheed-Vega six-place cabin planes,
with 410-horsepower Wasp motors,
which will have a maximum speed of
ITO miles per hour, and delivery Of the
first plane is expected within two weeks.
The planes will be put into service as
soon as received.
Test runs have been made with the
new type Of plane and four runs have
been made between New York and
Washington, the average flying time
for the four runs being one hour and
Is minutes. One of the runs was made
in rs minutes. which Is said to be a
record for commercial planes between
the two cities.
New Planes of Speed Type.
Ehe present passenger schedule on
the line allows hours and Is minutes
for the trip. The planes used at present
are Ryan cabin monoplanes similar in
design to the Spirit of St. Louis, in
which Col. Charles A. Lindbergh made
MS New York-Paris fight.
The new planes are similar to that
In which Capt. Frank Hawks recently
established a new nonstop speed record
from San Francisco to New York, max
ing the hop from ocean to ocean in a
few minutes more than 18 hours, despite
severe storms through which he few a
greater part Of the distance.
Cuts Rail Time in Half.
Constantly greater speeds are neces-
eary If aviation is to succeed as a pas
senger and express service, especially
over short distances, 1t was stated by
Robert E. Funkhouser, president of the
Washington York Air Line and the
Washington Airport, in announcing the
new service. The present service cuts
the railroad time in half, he pointed out,
but even this saving of time Is not re-
garded as sufficient In view of recent
aeronautical progress
Business and industry are being
speeded up in every direction" Mr..
Funkhouser said, land 1t is logical and
essential that transportation keep pace
Only through the airplane, In my
opinion. can the progressive business
man of varied interests. whose time is
valuable, speed his movements sufi-
GENTLY to stay abreast of developments.
Just how the aviation industry and
air line operators are progressing is
shown in the constantly rising speed
curve, and in the substitution by COM
mercial operators of faster ships for
older and slower ones. The ship that
was fast a year or two ago won't do
today"

Is Civilization Worth While?

So in life. so pathetic are our re-
sources and so tremendous the forces
against which we must pit them that
our greatest enterprise is only a rag,
with nothing to commend it except
the fun it gives us at the time.
In Deadly Danger.
Once YOU believe that you are do
ing something remarkable, that 1t is
your self and not your work which
is praiseworthy and unique, you are
in the most deadly danger possible Of
thinking yourself genius.
And in case you do not appreciate
the horror of this position, let me
beg YOU to look around at those of
your friends who are in the grip of
this really piteous illusion.
1t is insidious in onset and has
many terrible forms; but the COM
monest premonitory symptom Is a
loss of the sense of humor. The suf-
ferer cannot laugh at himself; he be-
lieves himself to be engaged in work
which is so essentially serious and
permanent as to entitle him to
reverence and set him apart from man
kind
He may not say so but he feels it
in his heart, and he Is commonly
urged, on that account, to the most
dreadful behavior at the last. He
becomes "temperamentap- which is to
say "impossible"-and he is not un-
commonly apt to be somewhat unpleas-
ant and anti-social in his habits.
He may at length even seek pub
licity to justify his naStiness, when 1t
is clear that his sense Of humor has
deserted him entirely. To such a pass,
then, may one come by taking ones self
seriously, and against this evil sense
of humor is the one and only amulet.
There is, I believe. no aspect Of life
in which 1t will fail the user. and at
the end, when the fair is over, 1t will
tighten the journey home.
