FOUR NEW AIR ROUTES TO BE STARTED HERE Capitol Concern Prepares to Extend Service on Big Scale. FIVE PLANES BOUGHT Line From Detroit to Be Extended to Evansville Jan. 15. Extension of airplane passenger service by addition of four more routes, two round trips daily on present routes and purchase of five new cabin planes, including two eight-passenger ships, was announced today by Lieutenant E. H. Jose, president of Capitol Airways, Inc. At present the company offers daily service in comfortable fourpassenger Ryan Brougham monoplanes to South Bend and Chicago, Ft. Wayne and Detroit, and West Baden and Louisville. The Detroit line will be extended to Evansville Jan. 15. This is being done at request of officials of the Chrysler and the Graham-Paige automobile companies, which have plants in both Detroit and Evansville, Jose said. Time Is Wasted Officials of these companies now use the Capitol's planes frequently from Detroit here, but waste much time making connections for Evansville Service on three new routes will be inaugurated March 15. The first route will be from Indianapolis to Cleveland by way of Dayton and Columbus, O. The second route will embrace Terre Haute and St. Louis. The third line will extend from In--dianapolis to Cincinnati. Because of splendid patronage extended the company by officials of business and manufacturing firms in cities on the three present routes, it is planned to offer two round trips daily, beginning March 15, on the Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Louisville and fit, Louis routes. One trip daily will be made for a time on the Evansville and Cincinnati schedules. New Broughams Bought Three new Ryan broughams, similar to the three now in use on the routes, have been purchased, two to be delivered next week. In addition, negotiations are under way for purchase of two eight-passenger cabin planes, possibly of the allmetal type. The company already employs eleven pilots and mechanics and will increase this number when the new routes start. Anew ten-plane hangar has been started to house the additional planes. In addition to its passenger service, the company plans to resume its student training course about April 1. Jose Is Optimistic Lieutenant Jose is highly optimistic over aviation as a business. “The company has fared exceedingly well since the first three lines were started, despite winter weather,” he said, “and we expect a wonderful increase by spring. "Indianapolis and the entire country rapidly are becoming airminded and we intend to be in on the ground floor of this newest form of transportation.” 117-YEAR-OLD MAN ILL Patriarch of Indian Tribe Is in Dangerous Condition.

FIGHTS 30 YEARS FOR EDUCATION Woman, Near 50, at Last Wins Honors as Scholar. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—After thirty years of toil, Miss Pauline Downing, nearly 50, has been awarded the key of Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholarship fraternity, at the University of Chicago. When she was graduated from high school at Middleport, 0., at the age of 17, Miss Downing was determined to have a college education. Because of finacial reverses it was impossible for her to start to college immediately. She went to work in a Chicago brokerage house, which went into bankruptcy. Two years later Miss Downing received an appointment to the staff of the postoffice. During the war she became a censor in New York. When the Armistice came she lost her job as censor. The postoffice job was gone too. She w’ent to Cuba as an employe of a sugar company and contracted malaria. Her savings fifteen years was spent on doctors and nurses. In 1924, an uncle died in Georgia and left Miss Downing a large sum of money. She came back to Chicago immediately and enrolled at the university. Within six months the Georgia bank where her money was kept failed and she lost her fortune. She went to Texas and worked for a year, returning to Chicago later to open a rooming house for co-eds near the campus. Miss Dowming 1 did all the work herself and went to school. At last came the reward. “It was w’orth all thirty years,” she said after winning the scholarship key. ♦ f . 200 TO GET CHRISTMAS City Garbage Collectors Will Be Given Day’s Vacation.

UNABLE TO AID STARVING BABY Tot, Toy in Throat, Smiles at Christmas Tree. By United Press CINCINNATI, Dec. 24.—Eighteen-months-old Frankie Brooks, who has lived nine days with a toy motorcycle lodged in his throat, smiled wanly today as anxious physicians and nurses hovered over his bed, hoping to stave off death. Eaby Frank, physicians say, is starving to death. He was brought here Friday from Asco, W. Va., by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brooks. Medical science thus far has been powerless to aid. Dr. H. H. Haggert, of the Mithoefer hospital, where Frankie is ill, attempted an operation but Frankie grew so weak the surgeon did not complete the work. Milk, in small quantities, has been forced by the obstacle and this has been the child’s only sustenance. Frankie was weaker today, but continued to smile. His eyes opened wth wonder when he saw his first Illuminated Christmas tree. Dr. Haggert still hopes to remove the toy, but he admits that unless ihe boy’s strength rallies the outcome will be death.

PIOUS PILGRIMS ATTEND RITES IN BETHLEHEM

Times Change Old Sinterklass Remains Jolly, Generous Despite Public’s Idea.

BY PAUL FREDRIX United Press Stall Correspondent (Copyright, 1928, by United Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—Sinterklass, w’ho first came to New York as a tall, gaunt horseman in bishop's robes early one December three centuries ago, paid his annual return visit today. He parked his reindeer, looked around, and found the city no more changed than he was. Sinterklass paused before New York's municipal Christmas toee —huge, electrically-lighted and bidding strangers be merry—in crowded skyacraper-girdled Times square ♦ On every street comer he saw a counterpart of himself—rotund, smiling, white-w'hiskered men in red caps, w'hite-trimmed red coats, red breeches and boots. They were taking Christmas collections. Sinterklass scratched his head reflectively. “Things aren't what they used to be," he mused. a it it THEN the venerable gentleman told his story—a straight forward narrative of good nature imposed upon, toy-bringing visits shifted about on the calendar, his personal appearance and even his name altered to suit the whims of others, and finally, of these "newfangled reindeer and Christmas trees” that Sinterklass never has gotten used to. You've guessed, of course, that Sinterklass is none other than Santa Claus, known from one end of the country to the other. But it was as Sinterklass, or St. Nicholas, that he first came to New' York. Dutch children in what was then called New Amsterdam had gathered in a circle in the firelight, just as their fathers and mothers had done on previous St. Nicholas eves in old Holland. While they were singing their St. Nicholas song, Sinterklass rode upon his horse, knocked at the door, entered in his clerical robes and talked to each child about his past behavior. When he departed there was a shower of sugar plums and the children ran to put their wooden shoes in the chimney corner. That night Sinterklass rode over the housetops and left presents to a 1 ! good boys and girls. n n u THIS was his annual practice for two centuries among Dutch residents here. Meantime, the English and American rulers who took over the city and called it New York had decided that St. Nicholas day wasn't worth a general holiday. So at the start of the last century the Dutch children asked him to transfer his activities to another old Dutch holiday, New’ Year's eve, so that they could have all the next day to enjoy their toys with their parents. Sinterklass did so. By this time the children had grown overfamillar. They had pulled off his bishop's cloak and made him wear knee breeches aad a broad-brimmed colonial hat. They fed him some of the candy he brought, so that he grew rather fat. They got him to let his whiskers grow. They also started hanging up their stockings to be filled with toys, because the shoes wouldn't hold enough. Sinterklass wasn't exactly certain today as to when they changed his name to Santa Claus, gave him modern dress and took his horse away from him. By this time everybody in the country had heard of him and wanted his visits. Anyway they gave him a reindeer team, and told him he must come on Christmas eve instead of New Year's eve. INTERIOR SECRETARY ILL Roy O. West Confined to Bed in Chicago with Cold. By United Press ' CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—Roy O. West, secretary of the interior, was confined to his bed today by a severe cold.
