I am glad to see that some
one has come right out and de-
MED that the so-called Gay
Nineties" we're gay. To the best
of my recollection, they were
miserable years-the years Of
the locusts.
The Gay Nineties' started
out by my being stung by a bee.
That's a fine way to start life,
a fine beginning for a decade
that was later to be known as
gay! The bee in question not
only stung me, but chased me
into the house.
Small wonder that my life was
warped by this first recollection
of the nineties. I would place
this catastrophe roughly at
about 1898.
The next thing that I remem"
ber was being taken to a Fourth

CONSEQUENCES
Nor can I see that sister

consequences Of her own cussed-
ness when she has become a
Mrs. Why, for example, should
gentlemen invariably shoulder
the onus of unpleasant divorce
proceedings?
Because a child needs to re-
spect its mother!" is the popu-
lar theory.
Piffle! A child doesn't need
to respect its mother any more
than it needs to respect its
father. And if mother isn't
worth respecting, why lower
union standards by giving her
first-class recognition?

It was just about a year ago
that self-seeking politicians in
the Post office Department
joined hands with self-seeking
politicians in the Senate and al
most wrecked what was then
the Eighth Wonder of the
World-our matchless system
of Air Transport.
These self-seeking politicians
began their attack upon Air
Transport by staging a series
of socalled hearings. These
hearings were apparently de-
signed to set the stage for what
followed. They we're not fact
finding in any judicial sense.
No honest attempt was made
to get at the whole truth. and
nothing but the truth. The at
tempt was to discredit all Amer
ican Air Transport.
SAME TACTICS
Presently the sinister purpose
of this whole disgraceful pro-
ceeding was made manifest. The
Post office wing of this political
alliance suddenly cancelled all
domestic air mail contracts.
They were cancelled without a
hearing.
They were cancelled under
an obscure provision of an an
.cient statute passed for a diff
ferent purpose and passed years
before American genius and
American heroism achieved the
conquest Of the air.
The cancellation of these con-
tracts came close to wrecking
all American Air Transport.
AS a result, this splendid sys-
tenn of communication and
transportation, this vital aux
iiary of the National Defense,
was dealt a body blow from
which it will be years in recov'
ering.
At the moment a committee
of the House is considering
emergency remedial legislation,
the sole purpose of which is
to repair as quickly as possible
some of the damage done to
these air lines before they are
driven into bankruptcy and the
whole system sent crashing to
the ground.
Not content with this record
of wrecking operations, the
same political wrecking crew
is apparently getting ready to

In the World of Science
Bu Hiram Percy Maxim

The country had become criss-
crossed with electric light"
wires. They supplied power as
well as light. Beyond these elec-
trio lines gasoline engines had
come into use. There was talk
about a man who was trying to
put one of these gasoline en-
gines into a carriage, and do
away with horses.
Your father laughed at such
a crazy notion, for he thought
a carriage with a greasy engine
in it would be a monstrosity.
Moreover, only the well'to-do
could afford a horse and buggy,
and a horseless carriage would
cost three or four times as
much. There was no possible
hope for such a vehicle.
There were also reports that
some crank was trying to per-
feet a flying machine. He called
it an "airplane," but it was
probably another one of those
sensational stories which never
come true. The very idea OF
flying could be the product only
of a crazy brain.
"CRAZY NOTIONS"
Still another sensational story
at that period was about a So
called wireless telegraph" A
young italian named Marconi
was purported to be telegraph
ing to distant points without
wires. But of course, it could
not be. How could any one ex-
pect to telegraph if there were
no wires to carry the electricity?
There was one new develop
ment, however, Of which your
father heartily approved-the
trolley lines. This was a re-
markable advance, and soon
there would be a. network Of
trolley lines all over the coun-
try. 1t never would be sup
planted.
Today you are your fathers
age Of 80 years ago. The de-
spised "horSelesS carriage" at
which he scoffed, has driven his
favored trolley off the streets,
done away with the truck horse,
and even given the railroads a
hard rub.
AS for the foolish wireless"
it permits a person by speech
to address 76 million people
in 10 million homes and two
million moving automobiles.
The crazy flying machine is car
rying passengers, mail and eX-
press across the continent in "a
hours.
You, today, hear stories about
worldwide television, tranSatlan-
tic airships, rocket flights to the
moon, atomic power which will
give a thousand horsepower
from a mechanism that weighs
but a few pounds, and long
array of other "crazy notions"
In due time your son will be
your present age. Is he going to
note your short sightedness as
you have noted your fathers,
grandfather's and great grand
fathers?

AIR MAIL FUNDS FOR ALASKA DUE NEXT JANUARY
Appropriation Expected to Be Included Tn Next
 Deficiency Bill

Indication that air mail service in Alaska will be improved next year, in a way that may eliminate the withdrawing of regular plane schedules as has been forced this fall. is given in a letter to Gov. John w. Troy from Harllee Branch, Second Assistant Postmaster Gen. eral, in reply to the Governors re- quest.
 MT. Branch stated that the Post Office Department plans to go be- fore the Bureau of the Budget in January when Congress reconvenes and ask for deficiency appro- priation which would enable the department to improve the air mail service in the Territory.
 The Alaska star route mail serv- ice bill was successful in the last Congress, he pointed out, and gives the department necessary authority to let contracts for airplane star route service. It did not pass. how ever. until the last days of the session and until after the de- ficicncy bill, carrying an appropria- tion. has been sent to the Bureau of the Budget and was well on it's way through Congress. Thus there was not time to go before the Bureau of the Budget and ask for a deficiency appropriation to cover the star route service in Alaska, MT. Branch stated.
 The situation is, he explained, that the department has the neces- sary authority but will have no funds to pay for the air mail serv- ice until Congress reconvenes.

vANDFNBERG,s STATUS

%r
 II neither wing of the party dom mates. and it develops that there must be a compromise-as many be- lieve there will be-three alterna- sives must be considered.
 The convention could pick 8 man who has been close to the problems of Washington, and has an intimate knowledge of them, put whose record never has tied him irrevocably with either wing. Tn this subdivision, Senator Van- ieilberg of Michigan is today the most widely mentioned.
 Another approach would be to choose . man experienced in politi- cal leadership and public office, but involved only remotely with the is ucs which have been agitating Washington. Among the availables of this class, increasing mention is heard of Governor Landon of Kan 5aS.
 Finally. it might be considered best to gc entirely outside of off, cial connections and involvements Within this field, the most active and widespread effort now under way is on behalf of Frank Knox the Chicago publisher.
 Here are five possibilities; but the mention of them as symbolizing various trends should not be taken as excluding others. Nor should anyone reckon. as of today, what may happen months hence. The best that can be said is that the prospect stil Is wholly indecisive.

Bedtime Stories
What King Eagle Had Seen.

st flew back where the Red Terror
had been and 1t was dreadful to see
There were great trees. many years
older than the oldest Of us, now dead
and black. There was nothing green
1t was all black, or white with ashes
The Red Terror roared as If with
anger. Men fought it. They beat at
1t with shovels. They cut away the
trees and brush ahead of 1t so that II
would have nothing to burn. They
dug long trenches, but the Red Terror
swept on. They could not stop It,"
Can nothing stop it?" cried Mrs.
Lightfoot.
Water can stop it," said King Eagle.
Water can stop it where nothing else
can. If Old Mother Nature would send
up great rain cloud 1t would stop the
Red Terror. But though looked as
far as I could see in all directions, and
when I am high in the air I can see a
great ways, there was not so much as
the smallest rain cloud to be seen"
There was great sigh of disappoint-
sment from all those gathered around.
They had hoped that there might be
some rain clouds gathering where they
could not see them. 1t was disappoint-
ing to learn that there were none. And
1t was frightening, too. You see. the
smoke was growing more and more
dense. It was useless to run further,
for if the Red Terror reached the
Green Forest it would sweep around
Paddy's pond and it would overtake
those who fed before it. Their one
hope was in that pond. They looked
at the Beavers and at Billy Mink and
little Joe Otter, who Joined them. with
envy. The Beavers would be safe in
their house, which could be entered
only under weter Little Joe Otter
and Billy Mink would dive and would
find holes in the bank where they
would be safe. But the others, while
they could swim, could not dive. They
could swim out where the Red Terror
could not burn them, but they would
be choked by the smoke.
