GROWTH OF AIR TRAVEL

In 1884 commercial air craft in the
United States carried 461,743 passengers.
The following year 1926 passengers
were carried, and this jumped, on an esti-
mate based on the first seven months, to
100000 passengers for 1886.
1t was just little over ten years ago
that commercial travel began; in that year
less than six thousand passengers were
carried by air craft. After the Lindbergh
and other spectacular air journeys, the
public seemed to have an increased con-
fidence in air travel and the number using
such facilities increased rapidly.
Now, it is possible for traveller to
get on good commercial plane, which
travels two hundred miles an hour, is
sOund-p proof and furnishes every convent
ence to its twenty-four passengers. Some
planes even provide sleeping quarters.
Safety is assured, for in 1885 there was
only one death for each 24,O0O,OOO pas
senger miles.
In recent months plane service from
the West Coast to the Philippines was in
augurated. For several years travel to
Central and South America has been pos
sible by air. Transatlantic flying is ex-
pected to be inaugurated in the near
future. f"ii'
Air travel has just started. Larger
planes will be constructed and more and
more as the years go by citizens on this
earth will resort to the upper levels of the
atmosphere in making their journeys.

A FINAL EFFORT

Harry HOudini, the famous magician,
made an agreement with his wife before
he died that he would attempt to establish
contact with her after he passed into the
other world.
Since that time Mrs. Houdini has tried
on various occasions to afford her de-
ceased husband the opportunity to COM
municate with her but up to this time no
message has come. Various persons have
claimed to have been in communication
but none have ever impressed the widow
as being authentic
81 want to hold the attempt in the
open air so as many people as possible can
be present. says Mrs Houdini. But
won't accept any message as authentic I'M
less it comes to me-
For the past ten years, Mrs. Houdini
says, light has burned in HOudini's shrine
at the Laurel Canyon home near Holly
wood
But if Houdini does not answer at
this one last Seance there will be no need
to keep the light burning longer she
states.
October 81 is Halloween. and if a
spirit won't come then, don't think there S
much chance it ever WILL is her final con-
cluSOn on the subject.

THE SPANISH-AMERICA VETERANS

A reader suggests that we write some
thing about the veterans of the Spanish
American war, who have been SO often
crowded out between the worship &C
corded the veterans of the sixties and the
World War :.
There is something to be said in be-
half of these men. They volunteered to
engage in conflict, which turned out not
to be prolonged but which seemed des-
perate enough when it began. They suf-
fered from disease as well as bullets and
some of them died on alien soil in fight
for the freedom of an alien people. They
served notice to the world that a new ma
ton had arisen in the West, ready to take
up anOther'S burden.
OF course, today the people of this
nation would hardly support war for the
freedom of Cuba, or anybody else, but
neither would they go into another Euro
pean struggle if they could keep out of it.
That has nothing to do with the debt that
the Republic owes the men who fought the
battle with Spain. They deserve well of
their eountrymen, in respect and esteem,
and once in a while there are signs that
they are being accorded the recognition
that is their due.
