Standard Airlines had by now
successfully introduced air trans.
portation to the Southwest and tbe
! line had become one of the most
popular modes of travel through this
section. The six passenger cabin
/ planes operated over the 500 mile
route into the state of Arizona We're
already proving too small to accom-.
modate the demand for this service
and expansion became inevitable.
Service Extended
In February, 1929, Standard Air
, lines not only extended its PASSENGER
li,.e to Douglas and Ell Paso and in
creased its service to a daily scbed.
ME each way but through connec-
lion with the Texas & Pacific rail.
way at FL Paso, Standard Airlines
introduced America s first trans.
continental air-rail system. Larger
ard faster airliners were put into
service and the entire Southwest
WAS transversed by one of the finest
md most rapid transeontinental ser.
vices in the country.
With a ship travelling each way
Cailv over the new 500 miles route,
Standard Airlines was now operat
ing 1000 miles of passenger airline
each day.
A little later in 1929, Western Air
Express inaugurateed a daily pas.
senger service between Los Angeles
and Kansas City. a total of 1920
miles. Likewise Il transcontinental
connection was made at the latter
point making it possible to travel
from coast to coast in IS hours.
During the balance of 1929 each
of these companies devoted consider
able attention toward building up
their established lines. Standard Air
liues replaced its former equipment
with tri-motored Deluxe passenger
planes such as were then in opera
t;on over W. \. +. lines. Special at
tention was given to passenger term
mails and depots affording every
possible comfort and convenience TO
air travellers. Radio equipment was
installed over both W. \. f.. and
the Standard Airlines enabling con
stant communication between all
stops.
At the end of 1929, both Stand
ard AiArlines and Western Air Ex
press had completed another year of
successful operation. Their lines
were operated on the highest posi-
lie scale of safety and efficiency;
their equipment was the best obtain
able and the personnel, of the most
highly skilled. The planes of these
3,Yo companies had travelled on
schedule during that year over s.
100000 miles or the equivalent to
: 20 times the distance around the
'Torld.
The merger of these two compan-
les is a leading step toward further
development OF the passenger air

Budget Percentages.

Scarcely an inquiry about budget
fails to ask whether this or that amount
is sufficient or excessive. Sometimes
the inquiry states the total income of
the family and sometimes it does not.
1t is fairly well recognized now that
the only basis on which one can judge
how we'll income is apportioned for the
various needs of family is percentage.
That is, it doesn't matter so much
whether $50 is spent each month for
rent as it does that $50 may be spared
for rent. There is only one way to de-
eide about that, and that way is to
consider whether the amount spent for
rent Is In proportion with the amounts
spent for other necessaries.
We dislike to cite any model budget
plan, because our needs vary, and in
the past women whose needs haven't
conceded with the plans arrangements
have been discouraged.
For example. a model plan-not an
ideal or perfect one, mind you-might
be as follows: A fifth of the income
for rent, a fourth for food. between
sixth and seventh for clothing, another
fifth for operating expenses, tenth for
advancement and another tenth for
savings.

Poison Ivy Has Three

By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Joan was an out-of-doors child
She enjoyed picnics, outings of all sorts.
And she was as much attached to her
garden as was her Uncle Peter. 1t
was this fondness for growing things
which brought her into contact with
poison ivy. She saw the pretty, glossy
green leaves and rushed over to pick
them. She even attempted to pull up
the plant by the roots, thinking that
she could transplant it in her own
garden.
1t was unfortunate, for she happened
to be a person who is poisoned by the
poison ivy. And because her aunt did
not know what Joan had done the skin
was badly affected before Aunt Nancy
could do anything.
That evening Aunt Nancy sponged
the irritated surface carefully with
lukewarm water to which witch hazel
had been added. Then she put on a
busting powder. AS she softly touched

inches wide and 80 inches long, so that

of the material may be rolled or fin

The material was slit down the GEN.

the slit section joined in a narrow

then gathered down the center and the
slit pieces gathered along the edges.
This is the sort Of frill that is used on
many of the new blousettes. but in this

In percentage that would be: Rent.
20 per cent; food, 25 per cent; clothing,
Is per cent; operating expenses, 20 per
cent; advancement, 10 per cent, and
savings, 10 per cent.
You might find, however, that rent
will cost you more and food a trifle
less. This plan is best for incomes of
about 81 300 to $1,000.
AS the income grows, less will be
needed in percentage for food ana less
perhaps for operating expenses. Saw
ings may be increased and advancement
also.
The important point, however, is to
know what things are costing you pro-
portionately and to keep them in the
proper proportion in your own scheme
of living. Spend at all times so that
you get the most out of your income
and life, and spend so that you will
not want. Figure out your own per-
