HOUSE CONSIDERING
MOVE TO PUT MAIL
in PRIVATE PLANES
Amendment to Bin Under Con,
sideration Expected to Be
Proposed In House

Washington. Feb. 23.-(R-A pro.
gram brewed In the house of repre-
sentatives Friday to put the airmall
pouches back in private planes.
Republican quarters limited that
when the emergency airnal bill Il
called in the house, probably before
nightfall, an amendment will be Of
fered. If approved, the amendment
would take the army off the mail
flying Job quickly.
Such an amendment, however, fac
ed plenty Of trouble. The administra-
ton indicated 1t would oppose such
action.
The emergency bill itself provides
merely for switching Of funds and
equipment for temporary army haul
ing OF airmail. Debate has been lin
tied to an hour and half. The bill,
however. Is open to amendments and
there were expectations many would
be offered.
From another source, however, has
come an even clearer evidence of 4
strong effort to turn the Job Of mail
flying back to private carriers. Chair
man Mead Of the house posto1fice
committee said Thursday that the
committee Is willing to consider let
ting "these (priyate) carriers come
back and bid on new contracts"

Hobo Henry was familiar sight in Smithson, never tidy or clean, and rarely sober. Children mocked him, men sccrned him, women despised him. He was the embodi- ment of, all in life which expresses utter failure.
 Thirty years ago. when Harry Mallett had married Sally Taylor. everything had augured well for the future. Money was not plenti- full but Sally's joy was overflow ing, brightening as no gold could have frightened, and their home became a mecca for their friends.
 Yet that friendly spirit brought with it a curse. Harry Mallett, the fellow who was always ready to stand treat, found himself looked to more and more for that act of good fellowship, and the love of strong drink fastened it's deadly grip upon his body and soul.
 Two children were born, but did not stay, and when the second, his son, died, Harry drank more heav- fly. That was the beginning of the downward path. From year to year Harry was constantly "laid off,"
 
 of things as the had made them, and became content to live a drunken, parasitic life. Sally, Sarah now, became the wage -earner, a disillusioned. weary woman.
 To-day Sarah Mallett lay in the hospital, waiting, yet knowing not that she waited, the coming of the messenger who would forever close the door leading back to her old life. Sarah was dying, worn out and Hobo Henry walked the streets, homeless, the chill Novem- Der wind fluttering his ragged gar- ments.
 Fifteen cents, a nickel and a dime lay in his pocket. When that was gone-what? He felt a sense of panic, but it did not long en- dure. He must eat-he would go to the fifteen-cent store lunch counter-they put up good meal for that price.
 The late afternoon rush was on, and Hobo Henry found himself el- bowed aside. Duly he stood by the jewellery counter, waiting till he could obtain the food he craved.
 He gazed at the glittering rings on the counter. Rings! Bright stones-red-green-blue = Bril- liants-imitation diamonds!
