Lindbergh Glorifies Airmail

The city of st. Louis began a campaign the other day
TO erect q monument to Colonel L~indbcrgh, but when
Lindbergh was consulted on the matter he said that
instead of being honored for his flight across the At
lantic. he would much rather be remembered rs "a boy
who flew the airmail."
Lindberghs lone flight across the ocean was one Of
the supremacy spectacular feats in all history. It was the
perfect actualty Of the wild dream Of the small boy.
This generation, at least, never saw anything remotely
like it.
Yet he looks on his service as an airmail pilot as q
thing much more worth commemoration In marble.
The airmail pilots don't get a great deal Of public at
tention. Once in a great while one OF them gets tangled
in a fog and slaps head-on into a mountain, and in his
death makes the front pages; but for the most part the
airmail planes go back and forth on their routes without
any trumpes to announce them.
But aviators generally seem to recognize the service as
the aristocracy of flying. Lindbergh himself. who ough.
to know what constitutes real achievement In the air
seems to be prouder Of his airmail record than OF his
flight across the ocean.
When you think it over, perhaps you'll agree will, him.
There is nothing Of the stunt" about the airmail. It
is a sober, unspcctacular business. and the men who pilos
its planes are International professionals pursuing their
chosen calling without any fuss or excitement. To be an
airmal pilot is to be accepted Is IN exceptionally able
and courageous flyer-but 1t seldom carries any fame
with 1t.
There are other compensations. however. There are
few things more satisfying to the human spirit than the
knowledge that one belongs to . group in which the ut
most of devotion, ability and bravery are demanded. The
airmal is young, but It has traditions. One Of them Is
that the job is always more important than the man:
and. say what you win about human selfishness. that
sort Of tradition is and always VIII be IN appealing one.
Then, too. the airmail flyer Il pre-eminently an In
cividuanst-an individualist in = world in which all Of
us. year by year, are being bound closer and closer BY
the claims Of the mass. When q mail plane goes aloft
the individual flyer Is pittcd. single-handed. against the
e,nS1serco Eonh f1{ch% 4, a a~con e~Aa<S~a,f t
Lindbergh's choice isn't 30 hard to understand. Thu
flight to Paris was q magnificent venture-but Z job IN
the airmal carries just . little more reason for honest
rride.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Exercise Stimulate
/ Question: Mrs. w. D. asks: Twill
you tell me the cause of nervousness
directly after doing various exercises
before retiring at night? This nerv-
BUSINESS lasts about ten minutes. Is
1t some nervous %trouble?"
Answer: It is best to take your ex-
ericses early in the evening at least
an hour before going to bed, or. bet
ter yet, do them before dinner. The
exercise If taken just before going to
bed will stimulate you so much that
you will probably stay awake for an
hour or 50. Thy do not really make
your nervous. but simply increase
your strength and endurance to such
an extent you feel much stronger, and
It Is difficult to relax.
Eczema and Carbohydrates
Question: Mrs. L. w. H. writes:
MY husband Is troubled with eczema.
He always eats oatmeal for his break
fast, and I have heard that it is bad
for eczema. Should he stop eating
oatmeal?"
Answer: Those troubled with &C.
zerna should avoid all starchcS and
sugars until the tendency to such
skin eruptions Is entirely overcome.
Oatmeal is undoubtedly more irritat-
ing to this class of disorder than are
the other starches.
Noise In Ears
Question: Mrs. G. writes: Il have
been following your diet for three
months, have lost 20 pounds, feel fine
and can sleep soundly. My liver was
sluggish but this condition has great
" improved. Can you tell me the
cause Of a roaring in the ears. like
the sound Of kissing steam? It does
not trouble mi especially. but would
be glad to be rid of It,"
Answer: The roaring in the ears
comes either from catarrh of the in
ner ear, or from high blood pressure.
Have your doctor take your blood
pressure and in this way establish
the cause Of the trouble. You can
follow the proper dietetic treatment to
cure either of the conditions men,

Railroads Prosper

American railroads are doing quite well in comparison,
with the revenues Of former years. The net operating
income OF the year. according to preliminary reports BY
the American Railway association. reached the total OF
per cent. Under the transportation act they have beer
limited to S per cent. beyond which the surplus income
has gone to the government to be used In bringing up
the S per cent guaranteed income of the less prosperous
roads.
The showing of the roads is q favoring augury for
their function in ~upholding the prosperity of the coun-
try in the present year. . With a continuance Of business
such as has marked 1929. the roads will be able to enter
on many Improvements. In fact, 1t is indicated that
they intend to do SO.
Preliminary study Of the railroads financial programs
for 1880 shows that their budgets call for the expendi-
turc Of 81. o5oyooo.o oo. of which seso.oo 600 will be fol
roadway and structures, and :37oOooooo for equipment
1t is estimated that the first six months of 1890 will
absorb $500 600 900. or an increase Of Sl40, 1000 900 over
the first half of 1928.
r. H. Ashton. president of the association. in a formal
statement. said the net high income was the result Of
one Of the greatest freight traffic volume years in his
tory and the highest operating efficiency and economy
ever attained"
to approximately $S.357,0oo,o 900. an increase Of 30 per
cent over last year. while operating expenses amounted
to $4535. 00000. only Ia per cent greater than in 1928.
Total loading Of revenue freight is expected to reach
So 10000 cars for the year, q reduction of 800, 8l9 cars
or ~six-tenths Of l per cent under the record Of 1926.
Measured In net ton miles. the volume Of freight
handled in 1929 will be. complete reports are expected to
show. the greatest for any year. amounting to more than
400 000. 100000 net ton miles. an increase Of l per cent
over 1895. The fact that the total net ton miles was
greater in 1929 than in 1926. while loadings were slightly
less. Is due to the increase that has taken place during
the past year In the average Of haul. resulting from the
fact that railway freight traffic consists to a larger ex-
tent Of goods in bulk moving longer distances.
There will be no revolution In this country until law
makers arc required to obey their own laws.

A mn HARDING, fine actress that she
"A is, but 1.-The exotic blonde" as the
movie press agent terms her, has quit
New York for Hollywood, and intends
to make the departure permanent. She
so confided a recent interview in Los

Contrary to the expressions of many
