Aviation C IRMS RALLY TO BOOST CITY AIRMAIL DAY Do-Operate in Effort to Break Local Record of 112 Pounds. Indianapolis business houses are rallying to support of Indianapolis Air Mail day, Thursday, preparing to send large quantities of mail by air on that day, Postmaster Robert H. Bryson said today. Bryson recently sent letters to local business houses, luncheon clubs and other organization asking cooperation in breaking the local air mail record of 112 pounds Thursday. The present mark was set Aug. 1, date when the present reduced air mail postage rates became effective. One shipment of eighty-four pounds of advertising matter forwarded by train here by an Ohio firm, helped set the present record. Big Event for Collectors Bryson said L. S. Ayres & Cos. is planning to send a large number of souvenir post cards with pictures of the store’s new addition, now under construction, by air mail Thursday. Local stamp collectors also are preparing for the occasion. One such collector, he said, has obtained a special envelope bearing a picture of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument with an airplane circling above it. Present air mail rates are but slightly higher than ordinary mail rates. The air mail rate is 5 cents for the first ounce and 10 cents for each additional ounce. Ordinary mail rate for letters is 2 cents each half ounce. I Educational Campaign Air Mail day was planned, Bryson said, as part of an educational campaign in behalf of the air mail. Business men know that time is money and will find that much time can be saved by use of the air mr.il,” he said. Officials of the Embry-Riddle Company, Cincinnati, air mail contractors, are co-operating in the attempt to set anew record. Raps Zeppelin Voyage By United Press PARIS, Oct. 23.—Frederick J. Gilfilla, a passenger on the transAtlantic flight of the dirigible Graf Zeppelin, returned to Europe by steamer today, with criticism of the discomforts of dirigible crossings. Gilfillan, an American resident of Lucerne, Switzerland, came from New York to Cherbourg aboard the Mauretania in 124 hours, compared with 111 hours in the air aboard the Graf Zeppelin. “It was a scandal to ask $3,000 for an uncomfortable voyage,” he said. “It was dangerous, because there was only one parachute aboard. If the crew hadn’t succeeded in repairing the damaged' fin, the passengers would have been doomed. Several times the Zeppelin pointed its nose to the sea and the passengers thought their last hour had come.” Fly Here on Business Howard B. Gibson, Ft. Wayne, flying an American Eagle biplane, landed at Indianapolis airport Monday with two passengers to transact business here. The passengers were Fred Sawtelle and Takimon, the latter a Japanese. The party remained here overnight and returned to Ft. Wayne today.

Melons of all kinds, but honeydews, soon will be gone. The rare Persian mellon from California at 90 cents was still in evidence. Blue grapes were unusually fine and were selling at 30 cents for a small basket. Peaches were 25 and 30 cents a small basket.

Hoover Reads Mystery Tales at Owl Hours

Smith Is Conventional in Time and Appetite tor Literature. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Herbert Hoover does most of his reading in the strangest hours of the twentyfour. between 2 and 5 o’clock in the morning! He sleeps before and after that period, averaging between five and six hours a night of slumber. Governor Smith does his reading at the more conventional hours of the day and evening. Hoover just now is making biography and autobiography of great statesmen his literary hobby, topped off with innumerable detective stories. Smith reads at the breakfast table; newspapers, bills, public documents. lie detests tragedy in literature, loves orations and humor, rarely opens a novel or mystery tale. These are the reading habits of the leading presidential candidates as presented in the October issue of The Bookman by their respective biographers, William Hard and Henry Moskowitz. Hoover always retires fairly early, relates Hard, “but in the interval between 2 and 5 o'clock he has a convivial party al by himself. He gets lemondade, apples and other fruits from the California basket that is always kept by his bed, and reaches for books.” “Governor Smith,” says Moskowitz’ articles, “find his intellectual ‘kick’ in bills, reports and public documents. These constitute his detectives stories and his novels. Sad tales do not interet him. That there is enough sadness in human life without having to read about it, is his point of view. He loves the light touch in literature and iri the drama—and he loves orations.'’

In ten meetings, Leslie was profuse in his praise of Hoover, seeking to tie his candidacy to that of the presidential nominee. The candidate for Governor argued his fitness to do “a lot of housecleaning.” “I know how to use a broom and know where it should be applied,” he said.

CHECK BOOTHS BANK DEPOSITS Funds Kept in One Philiy Firm Total Ten Millions. By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23.—John Monaghan, district attorney, today attempted to link the discovery by his investigators of fifteen deposits in one bank totaling $10,246,220.48 with profits of bootleggers and bribes to police officials. The names used for the accounts, four of them running over a million dollars each, were fictitious, the district attorney believes. After questioning, J. S. McCulloch, president of the Union Bank and Trust Company, where the deposits were made, Monaghan said: “We are endeavoring to learn whether there is any connection between these bank accounts which we believe were opened by bootleggers and other law violators and police corruption. “So far bank officials have not been able to throw the slightest light on the identity of the persons who held these accounts apparently under fictitious names.” The district attorney said believed there was an interlinking of the deposits and added that he believed $1,140,230.22 was in duplicate deposits. All the acocunts have been closed, the last one on January of this year. Hoover Awarded Medal NEW YORK.
