 So Lieut. Commander Frank Hawkes. has been recalled from his proposed flight of more than 18,500 miles around South America to lay out the route for thte International Air races late this summer. We'll, perhaps the excuse of not sending a plane which might be interpreted as Q military plane was a tlegiti- mate excuse but it would appear to us that the South American coun- tries knowing what the race is all about would have voiced no ob- jections.
 True, the company constructing the Hawkes. plane manufactures fighting craft but Commander Hawkes. famous low winged ship is far too well known throughout the world to be termed 8 fightis.g ship.
 We sincerely hope that if his company does not reconsider that thtey will at least release him so that he may make the flight ia Nsome other "less military" ship. Frank would lay out real course in the interests of aviation.

DRAINAGE OF SHORE FARMS
PROMISED

Representative Colds r u b
(Dem., Md announced that he had
been given definite assurance that
three CCC camps would be assigned
to the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
and would be utilized in drainage
work and in restoring thousands of
acres of low-lying farm lands to agri-
cultural production.
This work will be done in at least
five counties, Caroline, Dorchester,
Wicomico, Somerset and Queen
Anne's. The camps will be located
in the vicinity Of Princess Anne,
Vienna and Goldsborough, "A new
era in farming conditions in many
parts of the Eastern Shore should
result from the work of these
camps" Mr.. Goldsborough said. The
network of drainage bitches, con-
structed years ago in poorly drained
sections of the Shore, has largely be-
come ineffective, due to neglect in
maintenance, he explained.

CHAIN LETTER CRAZE

Despite the efforts of the Postal
Officials to check it with the warn
ing that "endless chain enterprises
which are held to embrace elements
of lottery" and therefore the letters
are not mailable, the craze still
RACES. The maximum penalty for
the offense is a fine of $1,000 or i'm
prisonment for two years or both.
Potal inspectors are endeavoring
to trace the various chains in an
effort to arrest promoters OF the
scheme.
Since the practice has become
prevalent, many persons, it is said,
have started their own chains and
"raised the ante" In some cases,
instead a dime, recipients OF the
letters have been asked to send as
much as $40 to the persons ramed at
the top of the list.
According to the rules of the game,
the recipient of the chain letter SENDS
a dime to the person named at tne
top of the list and places his own
name at the bottom. Copies are
then sent to five friends who repeat
the procedure, and by successive
steps the original sender's name ad-
yances from last to first place.
During this time, he may" re-
ceive $1,562.50.
The following notice relative to
the dime letters has been issued by
the Postal Department:
''The attention of all postmasters
is called to the fact that the so-called
.send-a-d dime chain letter scheme,
and similar enterprises, now being
operated through the mails at vari-
GUS points, is in violation of the pos
tai lottery and fraud statutes"
