{BY E. L. BAKTLETT)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 In q speech maie in tae House Jan. uary 25. Delegate Dimond placed himself record -fayor:ng- the carriage of mail in Alaska by air plane between principal points, while urging transportation by dog team, between sr. intermediate points. Speaking during debate on the post office department ap- propriation bill. he leaded for an increased appropriation for Alaska star routes so that the rapidly de- veloped aviation industry of the Territory might have at least a measure of support from the gov ernment.
 As the situation now stands 1t appears likely that very few star route contracts for the period be- ginning July 1 of this year will go to aviation concerns. Their bids in the aggregate were high -ef4t1ram those off cred by dog team bidders, and while the department has not yet made definite de- cision there are many reasons to believe that the speedy mail ser vice to which many .Alaskans have become accustomed during the last few years will soon be a thing of the past.
 In taking a stand squarely in support of air mail. Delegate Di- mond was not unaware that there Is section of the public which would welcome restoration of dog team service. But he believes that group is far in the minority. Adjustments have come after the hardships which inevitably result ed when sale of fish for use of dogs on the mail runs was stop ped in large meaure by the ad- vent of the airplane, and road houses on the mall trails found their business gone. The faster mail service which the airplane gives has brought compensation in other ways, has created other lines of business and if financial assistance through mail contracts Is to be denied airplane opera tors it is to be expected that the industry will retrogress and make necessary new and no less severe adjutments.
 For these and other similar req sons, MT. Dimond is convinced that continued expansion of avia- ton in the Territory means the greatest good to the greatest mum her and he will continue to work for air mail.

DELAWARE'S FIRST AXLiTRIX
DIES FOLLOWING AN
OPERATION

Many in Milford will recall the
visit a year ago of Delaware's first
aviatrix. Miss Myrtle Brown. who
died in Omaha on Friday last. Miss
Brown was preparing for a solo
flight across the Atlantic and came
to the Caulk Dental Laboratories
for a dental check up. She was in
Milford several days. A Philadelphia
broadcasting station had consented
to loan her a plane for her fight.
but after a test It was learned that
il could not hold enough gas to car
ry her the required distance from
New YORK to Paris.
Miss Brown was a sister-in-law
of G. W. Bellanca, the Wilmington
airplane builder. She was born in
Omaha but came east to take up
flying lessons in Delaware. She re-
ceived the first license given to a
woman by this State. This was in
1879. She operated her own dying
ted for about a wear at Painters
Cross ROa Is On the Baltimore Pike.
She was presented with an achieve
ment medal by the Poor Richard
Gu of Philadelphia. She was also
the subject of an interesting inter
view by Laura Lee in the Philadel-
phia Evening Bulletin.
Miss Brown was an accomplished
pianist and appeared in numerous
in New York City.
