A UTUMN days are replete with in
~ teresting events and while Mrs.
Hoover Is attempting to do no
more than carry on with her
oficial duties to the Nation In receiving
groups of its distinguished citizens when
ever it is required Of her, both the First
Lady and the Capital are enjoying It.
Quite an official phase was given the
private view Of orchids at the Willard.
before the show opened Friday to the
general public. The picture presented
was a regal one which met Mrs. Hoover
on her entrance in the ball room, &C
companied by the president Of the
Orchid Society Of America and one OF
the White House aides and others.
On the other hand. there was some
thing very homelike and simple IN the
tea which Mrs. Hoover gave early IN
the week for the women accompanying
the delegates to the Industrial Engi-
neers conference. There was q small
tea table set in the coy red room. Mrs.
Ray Lyman Wilbur, wife OF the Secre-
tary of Interior, who recently returned
to Washington, poured tea, and there
were all sorts Of delicious homemade
dainties in sandwiches, cakes and con-
fections. Mrs. James j. Davis, whose
husband Is very busy with politics just
now-hoping to be elected Senator fsQm
PENNSYLVANIA next month - assisteo
generally. and Mrs Hoover's secretaries
Miss Fessler and Miss Hall. also were
with Nher. Because the day previously
selected for the tea confiicted with the
orchid show, it was moved UP day and
so carried a surprise to many who mao
hoped to be invited.

vice President, also received the DELE

AIR COMPANIES
AID is AIM OF
PENDING BILL
WatreS Measure on Mail
Rates Calculated to
Lift Depression.
BY ERNIE PYLE,
Times Aviation Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 3. - The
Watres air mail bill is due to come
up for a vote in the house in few
DAYS. This bill was written by the
post Office department, and has the
approval of most of the air mail
and passenger operators. 1t pro-
yides. in substance, a subsidy for
the nations air passenger lines.
w. Irving Glover, second assistant
postmaster-general, says he bill will
give life blood to commercial avla-
ton in this country. 1t also is de-
signed to iron out the inequalities
in the present system of paying
contractors for carrying the mail
a system whereby one contractor
receives So a pound for flying the
mail 1913 miles, while another gets
only 10 cents for flying it nearly
800 miles.
The bill would change the system
of pay from a poundage basis to a
space mileage basis. In other words,
the post Office would contract for
so many cubic feet of space a day
on an airplane, and pay for that
space whether it was filled or not.
1t is the plan, however, to fill up
any unused space with mail other
than air mail Space would be paid
for by the mile, up to SIPS a mile.

NO PEARL TUB;
Wife LEAVES
Plumbing Contractor Broke
Pledge, Says Mate.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, April 3. - This con-
Germs a plumbing contractor who
wooed with alleged promises of a
bathtub of pearl surmounted by
golden nymphs, and who forgot to
install any at all, even the SIS sec
ond-hand affair his wife declares
she bought.
Mrs Maude Colahan O'Malley
presented the bathtub incident as
grounds for her suit for temporary
alimony from Ira j. O'Malley.
What that man promised me
would make a book" she declared.
"A bed of gold with a golden can
opy was another thing.
But the only thing he ever in
stalled in the house was an altar
in the bedroom.
Back of the altar was a big mir
ror that reflected the statue of a
young man. OMalley would pray
every night to the statue to re-
store his youth to what he called
the universal consciousness. Then
he'd scatter rose petals on the bed.
He left me when I refused to
give him money to spend on other
women, and him over so, at that.

For example, a contractor might be
paid 90 cents a mile for a plane
with capacity of 1000 pounds of
mail.
This system would permit the
placing of mail aboard passenger
lines, space for 100 or 200 pounds
being taken on each passenger
plane running over a logical mail
route, and paid for at a rate up
to 80 or 40 cents a pound.
Not a single passenger line in the
country made any money last year.
At first the air passenger rates were
set at about three times rail rates,
and patronage was very small. Then
a few months ago rates on most of
the lines were lowered to about the
equal of rail rates, and the planes
Immediately were filed. But the
rates were so low, and operating
costs so high, that the revenue of
the airlines was only slightly high
er than it had been under the high
rates.
Postmaster General Brown says
that unless the passenger lines are
given air mail contracts to help
them over the hump, most of them
will have to go out Of business. This
bill is designed to give them that
aid.
The post Office department now
receives an appropriation of about
$15,OO0,000 a year for its air mail
service. This is much greater than
the actual revenue taken in from
the sale Of air mail stamps.
The WatreS bill would require an
appropriation of about $18,OOO000,
but the actual deficit of expenses
over stamp revenue would be cut
down about $1,000, 900, according to
Glover.
Although the post Office depart
ment and the operators are behind
the bill. some opposition to it has
developed, and it is likely to- face
fight when it comes up in con-
greSS.
