A|RMAIL PIONEERS
into ARID REGIONS
Service Reaches Many Rec
Iamation Projects in West,
Report Reveals.

Penetrating the desert wastes to the
areas covered by reclamation projects
in the West, airmail lines are continuing
the march Of science which began with
the construction Of dams and canals to
bring the arid regions to productive
life.
In summary issued yesterday the
Bureau of Reclamation sets forth the
part now being played by the airplane
in carrying on pioneering in the West
and bringing settlers on the reclama-
ton projects closer to the business
centers of the country.
DR.. ElWood Mead, commissioner of
reclamation, in making public the sum-
mary, expressed the hope that reports
made to him by divisions Of his bu-
reau and the Department of Commerce
on progress in aeronautical fields will
continue to show advancement in devel-
oping of airman and passenger service.
Yuma Now Has Airport.
Yuma, Ariz., center of one Of the
reclamation projects, expects to have
a shuttle route plying to California and
other West Coast cities within few
months. The city has established an
airport.
Orland, Calf, reports no direct air
mail line, but facilities near. Grand VAL
ley, Colo, is in a similar position.
The Uncompaghre project in Colorado
has an airport at Montrose, but no reg
ular Siane service.
Boise, Idaho, is served by the main
trunk air lines. King Hill, Idaho, re-
ports neither mail nor passenger serv-
Ice, but plane lines near. The Mini
ooka project has an emergency field
at Burley, with the nearest regular
service at Pocatello.
Billings airmail facilities serve the
Huntley project in Montana. Great
Fails provides an outlet for the Milk
River area and for the Sun River recla-
nation district.
Other Services Listed.
The Lower Yellowstone project. in
Montana and North Dakota, reports no
direct airmail available, but tri-weekly
service l25 miles away.
North Platte, Wyoming Nebraska.
lacks regular airmail service. Carlsbad.
N. Mex, center of a reclamation project,
boasts of a first-claSs airfield, with 40
planes landing monthly. and CONNER

MUSSOLINI DEC0RATES
TREE FOR HIS CHILDREN

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, December 25.-Benito Mus
solini was not the boss in his house,
Villa Torlonia, today, for little Anna
Maria Mussolini was there.
Anna Maria is spending her second
Christmas en- earth and it IS natural at
the age of Is months not to take
papa's Importance too seriously.
She had moral support, too, from
Romano MusSolini, age 4, and Bruno
and Victor. also young enough to be ex-
cited over the celebration.
The Duce and Donna Rachele Musso-
lini hung presents for all on the fam
lily Christmas tree and sent their
greetings to the absent daughter Edda,
who is spending her first Christmas
away from home with her husband
Count Ciano, at Shanghai.

EUGENE, Greg, December 25.-Ex-
periments with invisible ipfra-red rays
reveal that vaporized benzene absorbs a
different and more energetic type of
heat than liquid benzene.
This finding has been announced at
the University of Oregon. 1t is the
result of a year Of almost incredibly
difficult work by H. j. Unger Of the de-
partment of physics.
The discovery is another of the SCI
entiffc facts for which practical en-
gineers find unexpected uses. One pos
sible field is in chemistry.
The finding was rated as highly i'm
portant by Dr.. w. P. Boynton, head of
the department of physics, since it
leads to further knowledge of the diff
ference between the vapor and the
liquid states. 1t proves something that
long has been suspected.
Unger found with a spectroscope
that benzene vapor absorbs slightly
shorter wave lengths of heat than does
the liquid. Short waves are more pene-
trating and energetic than the long
ones. His big obstacle was to detect
and identify the invisible radiation.
and he overcame this by use Of an ap-

EAST VIEW. N. Y. December as
Four short-term prisoners who took adj
vantage of holiday activities to saw
their way out Of the East View peni-
tertiary were being hunted by posse
today
State police and prison guards were
following their footprints through the
snow and guarding all roads leading
into New York and the southern part
Of the State. The nearby estate of John
d. Rockefeller was secured without
success.
Led by veteran of three escapes, the
corvicts made their way from a cell
block into an unoccupied prison doctors
office and cut the bars, apparently with
saws provided by outsiders. Judging
by their trail. they crossed the prison
lawns and fed in a northerly direction.
They are: Charles Sirico. IS, of New
York; Peter Reynolds, 80. Of Yonkers,
N. Y; Ames Clark, 80, of Newark. N.

said, failed after a certain critical
angle was reached"
There is human drama behind the
announcement--the story of Hurd, q
manufacturer, who was fired with the
ambition to solve this ancient problem
and who laid aside his business 10 years
ago to that end. At length, he evolved
the present theory, based upon square
and angle instead of the circle--a
method in which the previous theory,
based upon the circle only, was reversed.
He met Prof. Eager last Fall, described
his ideas, and convinced the professor
that he had achieved an important dis
covery. Together they perfected the
remaining details.

Sugar Futures Hit New Low
Level

Wheat hit the bottom in the closing days Of Feb
ruary. Cotton hit the bottom. Sugar hit the bottom.
Indeed, raw sugar for future delivery fell to new low
prices on the New York coffee and sugar exchange.
Overproduction OF Cuban sugar was responsible for
the decline.
There are American cane sugar producers. There
are American beet sugar producers. Americans. per
capita, are the greatest consumers Of sugar in the
wide, wide world. They say the country is flooded
with sugar from the Philippines and the Isle Of Cuba.
Other competitors are the Porto Rican planters and
the planters Of the Hawaiian Islands. They are most
" Americans.
Porto Rico is an American colonial possession. Ha-
wall Is an American colonial possession. AS for the
Porto Ricans, they are as poverty stricken today as
they were when the Spanish hidalgos owned the is
land. Hawaii is said to be the gem Of the Pacific.
There are more Japs than there are islanders or
Americans but the big sugar planters live in the
states.
There Is q consumers as we'll as a producers side,
and this is one reason why the tariff is a local issue
as announced many years ago by the late Gen. Win
field Scott Hancock. presidential standard bearer OF
the democratic party in a disastrous campaign.
His laconic statement drew from Charles A. Dana,
then in the land OF the living and editor Of the New
York Sun, this terse editorial comment: Gen. Han
cock is a big mamie weighs $50 pounds" Demo-
cratic prospects slumped and the burial Of Hancock
took place In November of that year.
