Katy the little city rabbit, felt

been staying at Uncle WiggilyS cot

she heard in the woods one voice
saying
who ran away?" And another
voice answering
Katy did"
For Katy had really run away
from the egg man as have told
you
But don't be afraid that you are
going to be taken back" said Uncle
/ Wiggily "One of the voices you
heard was only that of a talking
bug"

who had never before lived in the
woods or country. Il never heard Of

You shall not only hear but see

Wiggily Come with me-

Talking Frog

AVIATION NOT TO BLAME


At the risk of being charged with rash
presumption, and admitting that it is
foolhardy for an ignorant layman even
to appear to criticize an expert, we can

lieve the death of Will Rogers has been
the blow TO commercial aviation which
some, at this time, are charging that it
is.
Aviation has been hit hard by the ira
gic loss Of two of its greatest eXponentS,
but not even the deaths of Will Rogers
and Wiley Post can stop aviation. for
aviation IS progress, Were it possible, its
two latest victims would. we are sure
send a message Of that sort today to the
people of the world
We do not criticize Wiley Post We
only wonder why such a Skillful flyer
should have attempted such a perilous
journey in a plane that flatly. was not
all that plane should be The fuselage
had been taken from a ship which had
"ground-looped" and damaged its wings;
the wings on the plane were taken from
a speed ship of a type considered obso-
lete; the engine was a new $50 horse
power affair." but was not considered
new type.
Not even the best flyer in the world
can hope to have the maximum Of me-
chanica safety in such plane and with
out the maximum of mechanical safety,
flying is as dangerous for the expert as
it is for the novice.

quainted with a comrade of Crosson's
who flys with him, and from this friend
have learned at first hand of the skill,
ability, courage and sound sense of AL
askas famous pilot. He is recognized as
an authority by the flying world, even
though the rest of the world may not
know him as we'll as it knows Lindbergh
or Eddie Rickenbacker
Joe Crosson advised Post against MAX
ing the trip which resulted so tragically.
He told Post the fog and other weather
conditions made the flight extremely
hazardous at this season of the year and
being close friend of both men tried to
prevail against their arguments. He lost,
and Rogers and Post lost.
We don't say that had Post listened to
Crosson, the tragedy would not have hap
ened. The time had come for VIII Rog-
gers and Wiley Post to die, and nothing
could prevent it. 1t was fate.
We do say that commercial aviation
should not suffer from this tragedy.
Neither Wiley Past nor Will Rogers
would wish to have it suffer.
The best proof that commercial avia-
ton is sound is being given today by Joe
Crosson, who is flying the same route
that Post and Rogers took. Having
good machine, and possessing a thorough
knowledge Of the country and its condl-
tions, he is flying it in safety.

NRA is really dead, no kidding.
The post office department made
that perfectly plain today in an
order to all postmasters. The Or
der was brief and to the point.

ment agreements, Presidents re-

All other MIRA material to be
destroyed or disposed OF as waste

Speaking of the post office, the
department put its finger today on
one of those matters which give
poStmasters grey hairs and make
letter writer's angry.
The department pointed out that
lots of letters to people vacation
ing in the Pocono mountains OF
Pennsylvania were being accepted
with the simple address: "Pocono
Mountain, Pa
Now the post office lists stations

Postmasters were asked to watch
for such mail because the mis-

venience to both the sender anc
the addressee."
