MEN ON PAVING CREW
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

Several employees Of the Hanlon &
Okes paving crew have reason to
congratulate themselves that they
escaped with their lives when the
large tandem cement mixer came in
contact with wire on the Northern
States high tension line. The Incl
dent took place on the north side of
Sand Lake on Wednesday of last
week. When the nose of the mixer
in mid-air struck the wire, the wire
instantly burned in two. Luckily
either end of the broken wire did not
come in contact with any Of the
workmen. The wire was broken in
the center and the spans automatical-
ly sagged straight back towards the
poles. Had they side-swiped and
caught any of the workmen it would
of course meant instant death. The
high tension wires carry voltage of
$4,000, enough to wipe out an army
AS it was none of the employees were
even stunned. Immediately following
the mishap VIM. Witt, manager of
the local station was notified and
the lines were killed leading from
Lafayette and Winthrop until repair

AIR MAIL no ASIA

What is perhaps the most ambitious air mail pro- feet ever considered is to connect the United States and Canada with China and Japan, if plans tentatively made and announced few weeks ago, by officials of the two North American countries can be put into effect These plans were discussed by Assistant Post master General Glover while in Canada, and upon his return to Washington he expressed confidence in the feasibility of the project The proposed route would begin in the United States Canada into Alaska, and over to the eastern edge of Soviet Russia and ter 1n1ate in China and Japan.
 All the territory to be covered by the route has been flown over experimentaly and there appear to be no serious physical obstacles to the establishment of regular schedules, which would reduce the tune of mail in transit as much as two weeks in some cases
 This route, Mr. Glover aid would be in keeping with the worldwide trend of the air mail for which regular transatlantic service is also definitely contem plated.

Z MONUME n TS
/. TOURIST LURE

=, The Washing g ton Monument
and the Lincoln Memorial are
still the two places most sought
out by tourists, Inspector William
Wright, chief of the guard force
of the Office of Public Buildings
and Public Parks revealed today.
More than 100000 persons
: have visited the monument since

towering spire.
The number of visitors this
year to the monument is far
smaller than last year, however,
: Inspector Wright revealed. He
says there was a drop of 108, ,158
persons and attributes it to the
fact that on numerous occasions
THE elevator has been out of ser
svice. The depression also had
something to do with it, in that
: it has reduced the number of

The Lincoln Memorial is as
popular as the monument. In the
period between July l. 1880 and
June 80, 1881. 188.010 persons
visited the memorial during the
