LINDY PUSHES AIR MAIL TO NEW_RECORDS Service He Deserted for Sea Dash Grew 41 Per Cent in Two Months. BY DAN WILLIAMS Scripps-Howard Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. I.—Last May a blond-haired young air mail flier strayed from his route and flew to Paris. And the air mail he had deserted grew 41' per cent the next two months. It grew from 99,000 pounds in May to 140,000 in July, an increase of 41,000. Iff" had grown only 2,000 pounds, or two per cent, the previous month. The two months’ increase, still augmenting, means $130,000 more a month in postal revenue to Uncle Sam. The young pilot influenced this odd phenomena is modest, but you know his name— Charles A. Lindbergh. Volume Is Doubled Postmaster General New gave out these figures at the conclusion of Lindbergh’s three-months tour of forty-eight States. He revealed that the air mail last month was almost double its volume of the same mpnth a year ago. He said also: “At every office Colonel Lindbergh visited there was a substantial increase in the air mail, especially for the day of the visit. The net result, I am sure, will prove that a definite gain was made.” When Lindbergh returned from his European triumph to a tumultuous reception here he could have become a millionaire by nodding his head. Spurns Easy Money True, Lindbergh’s homecoming did not impoverish him, but he turned his back on hundreds of thousands of proffered easy dollars to make this much less remunerative tour, an ordeal, it turned out, more strenuous than his trans-Atlantic flight. And this tour, like his flight, was so skillfully executed that he was late at only one of eighty-two cities visited—he was delayed by a bad fog. There, no accidents, no overhauls, no forced landings and no delays of any sort from mechanical difficulties. Harry Guggenheim, president ~f the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aviation, which sponsored the trip said, said: - Makes 147 Speeches "Lindbergh and his co-pilot, Lieutenant Love, demonstrated conclusively that f well-constructed planes, maintained in good condition and carefully operated, provide as safe a means of transport as the automobile and the railroad triain. Some of the anguish to which Lindbergh’s modest soul was subjected in his service to an ideal is measured in these figures: Number of speeches made, 147. Number of dinners attended, 69. Number of miles paraded, 1,285. Number of persons who saw plane, parade, etc., 30,000,000. Discover Ancient Indian Village Bji United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.

Better Mornings via Breakfasts That "Stand By” • You

Quaker Oats Urged Widely by Authorities %

FOREMOST educators, editors as well as leading business institutions like General Electric Company, now are widely urging breakfasts that “stand by” as an important aid to success. That’s because it is now known that over 70% of the day’s important work, in offices, stores, etc., falls into the four morning hours—the hours from 8:30 to 12:30. In most American schools, including Princeton, Yale, most State Universities and some 2,000 grade schools throughout the country, 80% of the important classes are held before luncheon. Thus, largely on expert advice, millions now start days with Quaker Oats food that “stands by” one through the morning. Excellently balanced in protein, carbohydrates, minerals and the important Vitamine B, this delicious food is ideal for banishing listless mornings. Today get Quick Quaker that cooks in 2}4 to 5 minutes or regular Quaker Oats at grocer’s. Quick Quaker

U. S. INTEREST IN POLITICS IS SEENLAGGING William Allen White Calls ‘Revelry’ Tonic for Apathetic Voters. 1 NEW YORK, Nov. I.—Next year’s presidential election will mean less to the people of the United States than any which has preceded it, judging by the opinion of William Allen White, one of the outstanding Republican leaders of the Middle West. A trip to New York for a meeting of the Rockefeller Foundation was made the occasion by White for a scanning of the political horizon, a speech on western political viewpoints and a general summary of the low ebb in American political interest. People Blamed for Failure Seen by a United PrerT correspondent between the acts of “Revelry,” just before that production closed its New York engagement, the Emporia, Kan., editor discussed reasons for failure of this sensational play to attract the public. “The people of the United States just don’t give a darn,” said White, who editorially praised 'he book “Revelry” when it first appearede. “Their apathy is partly a result of post-war disillusionment. ‘Revelry’ is quitting New York, is being taken off the boards in the United States, because the doings of our officials at Washington, D. C.. fail to interest the people as they did ten years ago.” Samuel Hopkins Adams, author of “Revelry,” said White, had “cracked the shell” and aroused the people of the country when he gave an inside picture of graft and corruption In Washington. By doing so, said the editor, Adams has rendered a service to the American people. Praises Hoover “But the pepole are not so much interested in political matters and the best leaders are not going in for politics as they did a decade ago,” said White. “Our great men are more and more taking an interest in inventions, in business. I loath the word business, but it is unquestionably taking many of our best men from State pursuits.” As to presidential candidates. White praised the record of Herbert Hoover, whom he supported in the 1924 convention. He also admitted the great popularity of Governor A1 Smith of New York, but refused to concede any great strength to Senator Reed of Missouri. / Distribute 1,000,000 Bibics Bn T’nitcdPrcsx NEW YORK, Nov.
