Don't believe It so much ns to neglect to lay up considerable rainy-day money. I'm not a pessimist; only an observer. —E. 1 \V. Howe's Monthly.

Ace Os Aid Mail 8,000 Hours In Air And Most Mileage Chicago (INS) With a re< ord of K.OOO hours lit the air and with more* mileage on mall routes than any other pilot. E. Hamilton Ja>e, who fib's th" night mall plane between Omaha and Chicago is the "ace of the air mail." Lee, who took out the first planes in the air mall when it started with i 436 miles a day and two stops ten. years ago has seen the air mail ser- ; vice expand until it outranks that of I any other nation and today he is pari *' of a nationwide transportation system ' which covers 25.000 miles a day. sent- |i Ing 62 million people directly and j many millions more indirectly. Lee has acquired numerous records 1 ' but thinks his most I unusual service I was dropping food from an airplane on South Fox island in Northern. Lake. Michigan io save a band of I starving, icebound lumberjacks. The I fastest time he ever made with the air mall was between Chicago and Omaha. 130 miles which ho made in 2 hours and 46 minutes. Train time for that journey is twelve hours. Answered Wluit I* home without n bahyT— Xew York World I'he usual thing, es- . .. I
