the chain letter is not a lottery This
is undeniably false. 1t is lottery.
You gamble on your letter COM
pleting the six cycles So you hope
that your letter makes the COM
plete trip; you wish that the person
receiving it has the faith to send
you your dime.
The first thing an intelligent
person will do with a chain letter is
tear it up; he knows that his gain
will be somebody else's loss. On the
other hand it affords the I'M
scrupulous a clever and systematic
method Of dipping their fellow men
of lesser intelligence.

AIR POWER OF U. s.
 FOUND STRONG
Unofficial Survey Discovers 12,000 Planes, l8,000
 Pilots Available

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Poten- tial, airpower for the United States of 12,00o planes, l8.000 pilots, a mixture of specialized fighting ships and men with less-adapted civilian ships was disclosed here yesterday in an unofficial survey.
 A fraction of the civilian armada is primarily composed of large. swift com m ercial transports. A somewhat larger percentage of civ- ilian pilots could be incorporated into a fighting unit, authoritative sources said.
 Four thousand four hundred fiji CTS and 2,900 planes make up a trained fighting force which would bulwark this pot n ti al civilian corps. There are about 15,000 civil ian student aviators and fleet ships available for primary training serv- ice.
 There are also many licensed pilots and many planes convertaole at least to limited war use as pilot planes in the regular armed service, plus students enrolled in flying schools.

GEN. JOHNSON IS RETURNED
 IN NRA ROLE
Former Administrator [ Starts to Work Draft
 ing New Legislation

WASHINGTON, May 29.-- Gen Hugh s. Johnson is back again in MIRA harness. He has called in the Presidents advisors and gone to work drafting a tentative plan to continue regulation of industry un- der codes of fair practices. He im- mediately went to work preparing new legislation.
 Gen. Johnson tentatively planned that Congress give authority to the Federal Trade Commission to sus- pend the provisions of the anti trust act, and to allow industry and labor to voluntarily band together under codes of fair practices.
 Gen. Johnson has advocated that industry should more approximate self-regulation, something big busi- ness has been advocating for more than a decade.

WASHINGTON, May 29. A strike which the United Mine Workers said will paralyze the soft coal fields and involve half mil- lion workers is charted by union leaders while the managing heads of the eleven billion dollar industry strove to whip regulatory legisla- tion into shape to avert a walkout and substitute for their defunct MIRA code.
 The collapse of the Appalachian coal wage conference was the signal which threw the unions strike ma chinery into gear.
 Although expressing willingness to resume wage negotiations, if any assurance of progress is forth coming, President Lewis of the United Mine Workers rejected over lures of some operators to sign separate agreements as utterly fu- tile.

U. s. Ahead of Europe
 m Veterans Payments
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, May 29.--Great Britain alone of the European na- tions involved in the world war has paid bonus to veterans compar- able in size to the adjusted com- pensation granted by the United States to its service men. The Brit ish bonus, however, heavily favored officers in the military establish ment.
 Upon demobilization all tempo rary officers in the British service were given gratuities based on rank and length of service to aid them in adjustment to civil life. For ex- ample, an infantry lieutenant with two and one-half years service re- ceived about $960.
 To privates and on-commission- ed officers, Great Britain paid a special bonus, based also on rank and length of service and which ranged in amounts from approxi- mately SPA to $190. In addition, up- wards of 100000 "Tommies" were given four weeks furlough on full pay and allowances when they were discharged.
 No Official Records
 In other European countries, how ever, the "buck privates" received upon discharge amounts smaller than the $60 given United States veterans when they were mustered cut of the service. While the vet arans' administration keeps no of ficial records of bonus payments by foreign countries, unofficial fig ures believed to have been obtain ed from authentic sources are kept for reference.
 When the war was over, France granted a bonus Of approximately $50 to each veteran, disbanding German service men received a gratuity of little more than SIP and Italian veterans below commits sicned officer rank got $l5 and a suit Of civilian clothes. Italy also gave it's veterans paid-up insurance policies in small amounts, ranging from $26 for privates who were i'll

Bedtime Stories
Bobby Gets His Clam.

1t isn't far there, and may as well
have a look around"
So Hooty spread his great wings
and silently few over the treetops
above the Laughing Brook down to
the Smiling Pool. You know, Hooty
makes no sound when he flies. He
makes no sound at all. There are
three things about Hooty the Owl
that are quite wonderful. They are
his ears, which can hear the faintest
Of sounds; his eyes, with which ne
can see when there is so little light
that you and I wouldn't see at all,
and his great wings, which make no
sound, even though he passes close
to you.
AS soon as he reached the Smiling
Pool he saw Jerry Muskrat, and he
saw that Jerry was so intent on his
feast of CLANS that he was paying
no attention to anything else. At the
same time Hooty saw Bobby Coon,
but he paid no heed to Bobby, who
was too big and strong for Hooty to
dream of attacking. Jerry Muskrat
however, was another matter.
Hooty swung around so as to come
up behind Jerry just as he climbed
out of the water with a clam. What
warned Jerry no one will ever know
Perhaps he caught sight of a moving
shadow. Anyway, he dropped his
clam and made a frantic plunge into
H. II iryGN Do ktHn
very nick of time. The splash he made
had hardly ended when Bobby Coon
had that clam Jerry had dropped on
his landing place.
