Speed the Air Mail!
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

The agreement between United Air Lines and the postoffice department, by which night planes from California will leave early enough to allow morning distribution of their mail in Tacoma and Seattle is naturally highly gratifying to The Post Inteligencer which has supported the plan vigor- ously
 The Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the Manu- lecturers Association other business groups inter- esed better air mail service Postmaster Starr and Senator Schwellenbach deserve praise for their active cooperation.
 A second, and still more important job in connec- ton with the air mail service lies ahead
 It is the prompt establishment of plane service and air mail service between Alaska and Puget Sound
 As matters stand the Pacific Alaska Airways, sub sidary of Pan-American. already providing splendid air service in interior Alaska has made application to the department of commerce for permission to operate passenger and express service between Juneau and Seattle.
 combination of Canadian and United States lines proposes a rival air route to Alaska, through Montana, Alberta and the Yukon This proposed route would tie in with British plans for roundthe world air service through Canada.
 Either route. to be maintained permanently, must have air mail contracts
 To give an air mail contract to operators on the interior route and deny it to the Seattle-Juneau route would be tragic both for Puget Sound and for Alaska.
 It would place region which has always served Alaska and which will continue that close link through air service. on a sdetrack for air mail It would deprive Alaska business of the benefits it should have in air connections with Puget Sound by the shortest and most feasible route
 It is therefore of the greatest importance that Harlee Branch second assistant postmaster general in charge of air service assures Representative Magnuson that the postoffice department definitely plans support of the Juneau-Seatte route
 Explaining that reciprocal arrangements With Canada now under discussion MT Branch says
 T hope that before the present Congress adjourns will be in position to go before the budget bureau and request approval for an appropriation to estab- fish a service from Seattle to Juneau.
 It is needless to say that The Post-Inteligencer and all who have the interests of this region and of Alaska at heart hope so, too.
 Puget Sound and Alaska must continue their pres- ent bends and forge stronger ones.
 There is better immediate opportunity than the prompt installation of regular plane service.

 Even better than the statistics of socologistS are the beliefs of American women, when you are trying to find out how the will fare in the long future Tn significant survey of womens views the Ladies' Home Journal has discovered some very enightening and comforting data It finds that 99 percent of the women of America think child is not enough for a family that most of them believe four is the ideal number
 It finds also that four-fifths of the women Of the nation believe in birth control by means pr- mary for the that family incomes are limited The majority held this view in cities in the country, in all religious groups, and in all age groups.
 It is clear that the overwhelming sentiment in favor of birth control does not indicate any future decline of the race On the contrary most women who have children said they sorry they did not have more; and most young women indicated they wanted children, three four on the average Some 12 percent contended that five more children is the ideal number for family
