Two Cent Mail In Air

In this day and age speed is demanded IN all
human activities and no one is satisfied with less than
the maximum
Assistant Postmaster General Irving Glover sees
the day approaching when "2-cent" mail VIII De as
patched via air.
The Official who is in charge Of air mail faneo 10
elaborate on his announcement made a few days ago
that 'the post-office department might soon nave
to consider carrying two-cent or first class mall IN
the air, especially on long hops over passenger routes
that have no mail contracts but are now operating.
The assistant finds increasing demand In prac-
tically every community" for air mail service.
Two purposes of the p~ostoffice department are re-
vealed In this statement Of Assistant Glover. one
is the intention to extend benefits OF air mall 70
every part Of the country as rapidly as possible
The other purpose is to assist aerial passenger ines
to become self-supporting as rapidly as possible
Official Washington has adopted a policy OF encourag-
ing aviation development in every way, and giving
passenger ships contracts to carry mail over long
hops Is planned to carry out this idea.
This will mean that practically all first class man
will make at least a portion Of its Journey aboard a
plane and will result in an enormous saving in time
to business men of the nation while encouraging
in a practical way aviation development

Pres. Hoover Is a Busy Man

President Hoover will be unable to pay Texas a
visit this year. He was invited to attend the annual
convention of the West Texas Chamber Of Commerce.
Speaking through Representative Claude Hudspeth-
the president deeply regretted his inability to accept
the invitation for the reason that the senate tariff
makers are grinding and the congressional recess will
be over in September. In other words the president
will have cnogress on his hands and when a president
has congress on his hands. he IS a sorely perplexed

The Places We Revere

The great washington Cathedral slowly draws
nearer completion on its imposing site overlooking
the national capitol.
Designed as a national shrine" this cathedral
will eventually be one of the most impressive church
structures in the United States. woodrow Wilson
lies buried in it; and its founders hope that the ca
thedral ultimately will be to the American people
something like what Westminster Abbey is to the
English.
Building a national shrine. however, is a strange
sort of business. The places that q nation takes to
heart are not usually places that were planned In
advance as centers of patriotic devotion. They pop
up Unexpectedly; and the affection that goes out to
them is generally due TO the memories that center
around them rather than to the expensive and i'm
pressive buildings that adorn them.
Suppose that a committee Of Americans a century
ago had undertaken to pick a few places that the
American Of 1929 would hold in especial veneration.
Would they, by any chance, have guessed right more
than once in ten times?
They would not. surely, have picked a dilapidated
log cabin in Hardin county, KY; a cabin which had
been the birthplace Of a gawky young Illinois rail-
splitter and country store keeper.
They would never have dreamed Of crossing the
border OF Mexico and putting a bronze tablet on the
Alamo In San Antonio. Texan independence, the
conquest Of the southwest and the red battle Of the
Alamo were matters undreamed Of then.
They would have been extremely puzzled If anyone.
SN1A1 '~eN a Univ Na1Cbo AAnlACQ *
and jackson, had said that figures OF these two men
would be carved in gigantic size on the bald brow of
Stone Mountain, in Georgia.
With very good reason they would have been flab-
b~ergasted If it had been suggested that an attempt
would be made to carry off the tiny home Of a New
York farmer named Rockefeller SO that It could be
exhibited TO millions Of Americans at a dime apiece.
The committee. to be sure, would have picked VAL
ley Forge; but could it have guessed that the sleepy
town Of Gettysburg would eventually be made into a
national military park and dotted with scores OF
Et1tleS and markers?
Would the desclate sand dunes Of Kitty Hawk. N.
c., have looked like a probable spot for q memorial
monument?
That's the way it goes. Washington Cathedral, of
course, will always be an important feature Of our
national capital, and will probably draw eager Wis
stors for generations to come. But, as a general thing,
national shrines cnanot be picked in advance. No
one can say, today, what spots will seem especially
memorable to our grandchildren.

ACCORD NEAR
ON FUND BILL
IN TWO HOUSES
Work By Committees
Continues to Late
Hour Friday Night;
Some Doubt

AUSTIN, July 13.-(P)-Belief
that members Of the two houses
would adjust their differences on
appropriations bills for state de-
partments and educational institu-
tions, enabling the legislature to
adjourn sine die tonight, was ex-
pressed today by Sen. Tom Pollard
Of Tyler, chairman of the senate fl
nance committee. Rep. John Wal
lace of league, appropriations chair
man, was doubtful If work could be
finished before Monday.
Senator Pollard's comEieI1V was
made after committees worked late
last night on two money bills with
out having come to an agreement on
what sums to be allowed. Early TO-
day conferees were back at the
task, while day Of comparative in
activity faced their colleagues on
the floor.
The senate educational bill was
$50O,O00 higher than the house
measure, while the house depart
mental bill carried $11,746,244 as
compared to $1O,815,000 in the SEN
ate measure.
Senator Pollard said the senate
would likely accept the 100000 seat
tax refunds bill passed by the house
yesterday, but would refuse to ac-
cept house figures on the general
claims and accounts bill.
