UNFAIR POSTAL
DEALCHARGED
BY AIR LINES

Charges that the Post Office De-
partment is discriminating against
airline operators and reaping
heavy profits on air mail to the
disadvantage of the aviation in.
dustry are scheduled to be laid
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission next Thursday.
Major airlines will present
figures alleging:
FIRST.-That thousands Of
pounds of mail, on which air
mail postage rates have been
paid by the sender, never see an
airplane but are arbitrarily
transmitted by railroad, the air.
lines thus losing payments on
this poundage.
Excess Receipts
SECOND.-That while the post
office is paying out $4,000, 900
q year in air mail contracts,
actual postal receipts for this
air mail run far in excess of that
figure, the Government pocket
ing the difference.
The charges are to be made
when the commission opens hear
ings to consider future air mail
contract payments.
The last session Of Congress in
structed the commission to hold
hearings and draft recommends
tions on a plan Of payments to
become effective July /, 1888.
The National Aeronautic AsSo-
citation, it is declared, is keenly
interested in the present situation,
and may take an open stand on
the matter.
Official post office figures show
that each pound of air mail con-
tains approximately 40 pieces.
Each piece must carry 6 cents in
postage. This means that Govern
ment receipts from air mail are
about $2.40 per pound, on the
basis of the Governments own
figures.
Airmail business in 1885 totaled
13,276,O23 pounds. This, it was
pointed out, represents a total OF
$31, 1862, 455.20. or nearly 20 mil
lion dollars more than the Gov
eminent pays out.
In few cases where airmal
must travel over more than one
airline to reach its destination
the mail is reWeighed at the point
of transfer, and thus is duplicated
in the total poundage figure for
the year. This, however, is re-
ported to be a comparatively small
item, and could not possibly &C
count for the difference between
IL and nearly 80 million dollars.
Sent by Train
In the charges concerning arbi-
trary entertainment Of airmail, the
information said airline officials
have evidence Of numerous Spe-
cific instances in which postal au-
thorities in Chicago and elsewhere
make it a practice to ship airmail
by train instead of plane on short
jumps.
This IS done widely, it was ex-
planned, wherever the train Serv-
ice will accomplish ultimate de-
livery as quickly as air service
could do it. Thus, it will be
charged, much airmail in Chicago
destined for Omaha is sent by
train in the early afternoon, ar
irving in Omaha in time for de-
livery next morning-at the same
time it would be delivered If
shipped by plane.
The service to the sender of
such mail is the same, it was con-
coded, but airlines are deprived Of
the poundage payments they
would have received if the mail
had been sent by air.

Four Scotch bagpipers will be
added to the Philadelphia Sym
phony Orchestra next Tuesday
night when Paul Whiteman will
present a program of modern
music at the Hippodrome Theater
in New York for the benefit Of
the Williams College Museum of
American Music and the pension
fund of the orchestra.
It was not so long ago when
Major Bowes thought he was pull
ing q fast one when he had the
gong sound on a perfectly good
Scotch bagpiper. The major was
quick to realize his mistake when
his mail was flooded with protests
from loyal Scotchmen and on the
very next program, the bagpiper
was allowed to play the selection
in full.
In elevating the bagpipes to the
status of a symphony instrument,
there will be fewer jokes perpe-
trated on this ancient instrument
and its performers. AS long as
an organization with the stand
ing Of the Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra lends itself to these
modern attempts at a national
musical expression, there is hope
for American music.
The famous Kedroff Vocal
Quartet, organized half century
ago in the days of the car and
the heyday of Russian grand
opera, will give the first program
Of several seasons in Washington
Sunday night in the Garden
Room of the Mayflower Hotel, at
$3.50 o'clock.
The program which was orig
inally scheduled for last Tuesday
night at Constitution Hall, was
postponed due to the groups
change of plans on tour. The
program for Sunday night in
cludes the following songs: "a
Pine Tree Stands So Lonely" and
"A May Morning" (Sokoloff);
Complaint" and waltz of the
Flowers" (Tschaikowsky); "Cau-
casian Song" (Tschercashian);
Georgian Cradle Song" (Tchere-
pnin); "Orientale" (CuD; per
sian Song" GA. Rubinstein);
wedding Song" 1.-THE Merry
Bear" BELLS of Novgorod," and
about Mosquitoes" (Russian folk
songs; Summer Evening"" and
"Old Songs" (Mozart); Evening
Serenade" (Abt); and waltz" q.
Strauss.
The National Symphony Or
cheStra, DR.. Hans Kinder con-
Quoting, will offer a program in
Guiding a number of short works
and the Cesar Frank, Symphony
in D Minor, Sunday afternoon at
Constitution Hall at 4 o'clock.
The program follows: Grave
and Allegro" BachO; Symphony
in D Minor" (FrancD; "On
Hearing the First Cuckoo in
Spring" Delius); Intermezzo
from "GoyeScas" (Granados);
The Enchanted Lake" Giadov);
Polonaise from "Eugen Oniegin"
CTschaikowsky).
The stately music of Bach will
serve as an introduction to the
more modern style as found in
the Franck Symphony. With the
performance of the Delius work
in the second part of the program,
DR.. Kinder pays tribute to the
man whose recent death dealt the
musical world a serious blow.
Frederick Delius ranked with Sir
Edward Elgar as an outstanding
English composer and was recog-
nized as one of the most remark
able musicians of his time.
The other works on the pro-
gram are by three outstanding

Pneurnorlia's Annual

Abrupt Changes in Weather Cause of Colds With Fatal
 Results, States Director Yelling

Pointing out that more than 1000 persons die of pneumonia in Con- necticut every year. William c. Well ling, director of the bureau of vital statistics of the state department of health, warned In the depart ment's weekly broadcast today that the season of greatest incidence of the disease is just setting in. Pneu- monia deaths occurred in the state last year at the rate of 6 per 10000 population. and the low record rate was that of 63 deaths per 100000 in 1884.
 One reason why pneumonia strikes severely in Connecticut ap- parently is the abrups change of weather which normally occurs at this season. The seasonal variation of pneumonia, MT. Yelling said, is probably the most drsuaatic of any adult disease. From now on, until the end of February, the mortality will swing upward to its high point in that month although it will by no means drop away abruptly in March if it is at its peak in Feb- ruary.

 TerTyville, Oct. 29.-Frank B. O'Neil of Woodbury who has con- ducted law office in the post office building here for the past seven years, announced today he will close his office at the end of the present week and open 8 law ofiice at 6S Bank street, Waterbury, shortly.
 MT. ONeil is 8 member of a fam fly of lawyers who reside in Water bury. He received his elementary and secondary education in Brass City school. He entered Harvard where he received his bachelor of arts degree in 1903, after which he entered his fathers law office in Waterbury, which was known as O'Neil, ONeil and O,Neil, consist ing of his father, John O'Neila John Joseph O'Neil, son, and Susan O,Neil, 8 daughter. Miss O'Neil was the first woman lawyer in Connec- ticut. ,t
 In January, 1914, Frank o'Neil was admitted to the Connecticut bar. He opened a law office in Wa terbury where he practiced until 1926. Then followed period of four years. during which time he ceased to practice law, being engaged in special work in Hartford which took him to Europe several times. He came to Terryville in. 1880 and lo- cated his office in the post office building.
 In 1905 he married. Miss Alice Hartland of Wilkes-Barre, Penn. He has. two daughters, the Misses Emily Hayden and Eleanor Hartland O'Neil.

common cold, the director warned Based on cases reported in 1e35, about 45 died out of each 100 cases of lobar pneumonia, and 38 died of broncho pneumonia per 100 casea reported. Some idea of the relative seriousness. of the disease can be gained when 1t is considered that only. ten out of every 100 typhoid fever cases result fatally.
 The illness is long and costly, and frequently has serious cOnse- quences, for one attack instead of giving immunity to subsequent ex- posture, is quite the opposite, and susceptibility rather than resist- ance results.
 "Let me urge you, therefore, not to treat influenza or 8 cold lightly" MT. Yelling admonished. "Stay at home. Send for your physician Keep away from others to whom you might give the infection. You are forewarned that the pneumonia season is on. Much will depend on you as an individual as to whether or not the hunting license of pneu- monia is to include you in that bag of game"
