Lincoln's Dad Rated
 Fine Cabinet Maker
Expert Finds Rail-Splitter Himself Was Not Very
 Handy With Tools

New York (UP)-Thomas Linz coin, father of Abrahams Lincoln,
 was an expert cabinet maker and
 wheelright, and not at all a back woods ne'er-do-well, as might be inferred from some biographies of the Emancipator and his family, according to Thomas H. Ormsbee, editor of "The American Collec- tor," and an authority on antiques.
 Several little known but we'll documented pieces of furniture have come to light which show that Thomas Lincoln was a crafts man above average in skilr for his surroundings, says Ormsbee. The record book of the Primitive Bap- tist Church at Gentryville, Ind, dis closes that Thomas Lincoln built it's first church, as welEas the pull pit and pews.
 "Had half-orphaned Thomas Lincoln not desired to learn a trade," says Mir Ormsbee ina cur rent issue Of his magazine, 'he would not, at the age of 22. have apprenticed, himself to Joseph Hanks, Of Elizabethtown, Ky. He learned three trades, carpentering, cabinet making and wheelwright- ing. He also met and married Jo- seph's sister, Nancy Hanks. There after, although in keeping with the frontier custom, he was a farmer, his expert services were always
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-02-16

ready and in demand"
 In Elizabethtown some houses built by Hanks are still standing, and on some of them Thomas Lin- coin did some of the work.
 There are three perfectly au- thenticated pieces of furniture made by Thomas Lincoln, says Ormsbee. One is desk set made for pr Crooks, physician of Gen. -tryville; another is. walnut cor ner cupboard which was exhibited few years ago at the Los An geles Museum of History, and which now is back in IndianaS and the third is a walnut, dish cup board which was made for Josia h Crawford, and now is in the Spen- cer County courthouse at Rock port, Ind.
 Ormsbee gives high praise to the workmanship of the dish cupboard. He points out that when the corner cupboard was on display Tn Los Angeles it bore a card which. said:
 Corner Cupboard made by Abraham Lincoln, with the assist ance of his father .v. ~
 Ormsbee suggests that if Abra- ham Lincoln worked on 1t at all, it was probably as apprentice to his father. He talked with Ida M. Tarbell, biographer and authority on Lincoln, and quotes her as say ing that Abraham had little apti- tude for tools; that records indi- cated he was. glad enough to give up cabinet making for the less ex- acting occupations of rail-sp1itting, trading and storekeeping.

CONTRACT LET FOR
 CITY BOOK AUDIT
George Kingsley X Co of New York Will Make
 Survey

Books of the city for the year 1893 are now undergoing an ex- tensive audit. Mayor Frank Hayes, who under the charter has the right to let out the contract for the auditing job, has assigned the work to the firm of George A. Kingsley and company of New York.
 An audit of the city books is re- quired annually. The work will take couple of months and the final, formal report, is not expected to be issued until the middle of April. Controller Daniel J. Leary's staff of accountants is cooperating with the New York auditors so as to have the check-up a complete one.
 Mayor Hayes made the an- nouncement of the selection of the auditing company at yesterday aft ernoon's meeting of the board of finance. The meeting of the cont missioners was very brief with only routine business being transacted.
 It was announced that there are '45,345 names on the personal tax list for this year. The list was for mally turned over to Personal Tax Collector George A. Stokes and the sum due, at the rate of $2 per per- son, was charged against his office.
 It is not expected that the entire 45,345 accounts will be collected this year. There is never 100 per cent collection of personal taxes in the city. In the current years. budget an estimated income of $45,- 900 from personal taxes is set up 'as an asset. This would be at the rate of less than a dollar for every person on the list as set up for the year.

Now. All This Ceases

Briefly, Americans air trans port. system today is this:
 A network of 27,000 miles of routes (three transcontinentals and numerous up-and-down fe r lines) over which 5000 employees direct the flying of 175,000 miles every 24 hours.
 Five hundred planes run on fixed schedules, and 500 of the worlds s most skilled pilots sit at the wheels. Every year these planes cover more than 40,000,000 miles, carry half a million passengers, and 8,000,000 pounds of mail.
 Total investment runs into hun dreds of millions. Last year the government paid out for this serv- ice a subsidy of $19,000,000.
 And on Monday, Feb. 19, all this ceases. The army takes over the flying of the mail. A few of the present lines will continue carrying passengers for a, while. But they can't continue long without a post al subsidy.

and day, little handful of meil wrote dramatic history that has no. equal in modern adventure annals.
 Tn those first years, beginning with 1920, planes were poor and pilots were inexperienced. Deaths by fire were frequent, until the cause was discovered and planes changed.
 Storms and mountains took their toll. But for every death, there were score of escapes where death was cheated by a hairs breadth. %t

 Some think the government must and win take over the whol eair transport system and run the air lines, both passenger and mail permanently.
 For financially and politically, the air transport industry is a mess. Such a mess that the ad- ministration felt something drastic had to be done about it.
 But, paradoxically. hte American air industry is without a peer in the world when it comes to effi- ciency, modernism, and scope of it's actual flying operations.

Although airmail in the U. s, may be said to have had its birth in 1911, when a pouch was carried 10 miles on New Jersey stunt flight, airmail had its real start in 1918. And it was a pretty bum start.
 It was the opening day of ser vice between Washington and New York. President Wilson rode down to the polo field, on the banks of the Potomac, to see the first plane take off. A young army pilot sat in the cockpit of an army plane, ready to speed north toward Philadelphia and New York.
