Flying Sleeping Berth
Is Airways' innovation
Peaceful SIumber Is Made
Possible in Speeding
Planes.

Airplane passengers now can sleep
several thousand feet up in the
cool air in a comfortable berth and
enjoy a nights rest at a speed of
better than two miles a minute. No
changing noises, no grinding of
wheels, just a smooth, rapid fight
across the great western spaces.
The flying sleeping berth has
made its advent on the night planes
of American Always between
Cleveland and Los Angeles on the
company's southern transcontinen-
tai line.
The berths, made by folding two
of the planes soft-cuShioned chairs,
form a perfect horizontal cot. These
cots then r made up with linen
and blankets by the co-pilot. Each
of the tri-motored planes accommo-
i-ates six sleeping passengers.
The large number of %transcon-
tinental passengers who have tried
out the new flying berths have been
enthusiastic over this innovation in
air travel, according to Ted E. Grit
fin, city traffic manager. who at the
same time predicted that even
greater strides will be made within
a short time on sleeping accommo-
dationS for air passengers.
I'VE plan to have sleeping planes
in operation on American Always
tranScontinental line within a years
time" he said, that will be equipped
with built-in berths as comfortable
as a Pullman.
Private dressing rooms will be
provided at the airports and pas
sengers will board the planes ready
to retire.

Locomotive Is
Used to Speed
Brew Outfit

By Times Special
PITTSBURGH, July IT,
What was said to be the first
locomotive ever used in the
manufacture of beer has been
leased from the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad by the Hazel
wood Beverage company. Need
of auxiliary steam at the brew
cry, caused by the great de-
mand for beer, prompted the
company to lease the engine SO
as not to interfere with con-
tinuous operation for quench-
ing the thirst registered.
AS distribution of beer was to
be increased, it would have
been necessary to increase the
steam power of the plant and
this would have entailed sew
eral weeks for installation and
the locomotive solved the prob
lem.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Aug. %
fUN.S0.-Return of prosperity in
America is not based alone upon
capacity to buy, but also upon
Willingness to buy, and this atti-
tude has not been prevelant, in
the opinion today of Kenneth Col
Ins, Of New York, assistant to
the president of Gimbel Brothers.
Addressing the third annual re-
tail conference held at Pennsyl-
vania State College, Collins said:
"Thus far the public has
failed to do additional buying
of consequence, enough to make e.
us certain we are on the way
out. Until mass buying appears,
the success of the new deal is
in danger"
He called upon advertisers to
support the new deal and to strive
to substitute fun for worry" in
the psychological mind of the
average buyer. This problem, he
said, was the forgotten code for

compost pit. You see Farmer Browns
Boy believes In being prepared and
he was already making plans for next,
yenr. when he meant to have the fin
est garden anywhere around.
So MS he dug that pit he whistled.
He says 1t Is always easier to work
Ii you whistle at the same time. First
he marked off big circle, and then
he dug and dug and dug. throwing
out the sand In pile on one side.
BY and by that hole was SO deep that
only Farmer Browns Boys head ap
peared above the ground. Still he
kept on working. and at last only the
very top OF his head could be seen.
That pit was now SO daep that 1t was
hard work to throw the sand out.
guess 1t Is deep enough, said
Farmer Browns Boy. stopping to rest.
I'LL make the sides nice and straight
and smooth and then guess 1t will
do
So after while he smoothed the
sides with his shovel, and when he
had finished. he had a pit with sides
perfectly straight up and down, and
almost six feet deep. In fact II was
SO deep that he had to rest his shovel
against the smooth wall and climb up
on that In order to get out.
III anybody tumbles In thers they
won't get out In hurry" said he as
he looked down into It. "They would
need wings to get out. II Is too deep
TO jump out Of, and they couldn't
climb those steep sandy wits. / guess
I'll have to keep an eye on this to see
that no one gets caught In 1t"
or course he meant his little friends
of the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest You see he knew that many
of them often visited hts garden. and
1t might be that not knowing that the
pit was there, one of them would
carelessly tumble In. With his shovel
over one shoulder and whistling mer
rily, he tramped home. When he had
gone the garden was just as before
save that down In that far corner was
the great pit he had dug. But of this
none of the little people save Sammy
Jay knew. Sammy had watched Farm
er Browns Boy dig II. But Sammy
said nothing about 1t. He was puz,
zled, and In his shrewd way he kept
thinking and thinking the matter over
and trying to decide what II could be
for. AT last, because he could think
of no other use for 1t, he made un his
mind that 1t must be kind of trap.
And yet he didn't like to think this,
for he had come to think great deal
Of Farmer Browns Boy, and to look
on him as friend. SO he made up
his mind to keep his tongue still and
wait and watch. Time would tell.

AGES PLACE
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

IT'S hard for age, when age Is gray,
1 To keep its place. The things we
say
Are tiresome things, the things we do
Are foolish and old fashion, too.
Now age must tell Its tales no more
cit may have told that tale before)
Although within Its words appears
The ripe experience of years.
This makes II hard were we not told
We would not know that we are Old
To us the world seems just as bright,
And living has the same delight.
It's hard to keep our place beside
The hearth the hopes of life denied,
But In the world now youth prevails
And has no time for old mems tales.
It's hard TO play the part OF age
Still strong enough to tread the stage
Youth must remind US, youth must
frOWn,
Before the young and old sit down.
We might forget how very small
We are, that we are old al all.
Our lips still laugh. our pulses race
It's hard for age to keep its place
