Aviation 11 CENTS MILE AVERAGE FARE ON AIR LINES Rates Expected to Drop as Business of Planes Is Increased. r ., Scrippt-Hnvnrd \rtrspnp*r Alliuirt WASHINGTON. May 8.— Perhaps *‘ou would like* to take your vaca;on bv air this year, riding on lanes over regular air lines. It V ill cost you, on the average, 11 cnUs a mile. America is not sufficiently cov--rori v ith air lines to permit a person to go anywhere he pleases by -ir Bid within two years, it is al- • , os t certain that the traveler, rid■ig on regular air lines, can get -ithin a lew miles of even the smallest towns. If a traveler purchased a one-way 'leket. over every passenger air line the United States, he would • ,avrl 12.914 miles. For this journey, he would pay $1,427, or ap- ■ oximatclv 11 cents a mile. The lowest mile charge is 7.8 cents cu the West Coast Air Transport : rid the Pacific Air Transport lines between Seattle and Portland. The highest cost is 21.3 cents a nnie for a short water hop between r_os Angeles and Catalina Island. I.ittle Higher Than Train The mile cost cm the passenger -ir line between Washington and New York is 15 cents. The Hoeing System, which operates Pacific Air Transport, points ut that the excess mile charge of . irplane over rail is more mathematical than real. For one thing, Mr mileage between cities is condcrably less than the rail mileage charged for. Further, there is no Pullman nor hair car charge on airplanes, and taxi fares to and from terminals usually arc included in the an plane ‘icket. If you lived in Atlanta and want'd to spend your vacation in Minneapolis. the round trip plane fare ould cost you just S2OO. If you l.vcd in Washington and wanted • > cool off in Montreal during tire hot days, the round trip by air ould set you back only $l6O. ( hit ago to Frisco SIOO If you lived in Chicago and want- ■ and to make a round trip over the Rockies to San Francisco, the total iarc would bo S4OO. And thcie are no extras. Many of the air lines, as increased business develops, are beginning to cut their rates. Northwest Airways, between Chicago and Minneapolis, .ecently made a reduction. Western Air Express, celebrating its third anniversary, cut its fares by one-third for one month. It is believed there will be a general reduction on most lines within the year Ocean Air Mail Proposed nm United ms WASHINGTON.

Why Fliers Get Gray

If motorists had all these instruments and controls to watch and operate. our streets would be as free as the air. Yet this is just what the modem airmail pilot has to worry over while he's in the air—instruments of all descriptions and controls enough for a four-armed man. This cockpit happens to be one of anew type Boeing transcontinental mail plane.

OHIO CONVICTS, THOUGHT DEAD IN FIRE, TAKEN Ignited Prison Last Fall to Escape, Captured Men Confess. 81/ United Frets HAMILTON, 0., May B.—lvan Pickering, 24, one of the convicts believed to have perished when fire destroyed a prisoner's dormitory at the Junction City brick plant last fall, was captured near here today and has confessed, according to police, that he and two other convicts fired the structure. Pickering was found hiding under a bed in the home of an aunt, Mrs. Anna Huddleston, near Lebanon. He was taken with Clayton Flora. 23, who was shot by a Cincinnati policeman before he surrendered. Mrs. Huddleston was charged with harboring a fugitive. At the time of the prison blaze fourteen convicts were believed to have perished, but several of those reported killed scaled the walls during the confusion and were retaken when they returned to old haunts. Pickering said the fire was plotted by John Tillotscn and Elmer Whiting, two other convicts who later enlisted his aid. He said they improvised a torch from a blanket which they stuffed with old newspapers, then lighted it and applt*. it to the building. Tillotson was burned to death but Pickering and Whiting scaled the wall and escaped, detectives quoted the convict as saying. Police here and 'Warden P. E Thomas of the state penitentiary at Columbus, expressed doubt as to the truth of the story. 300 Fight Fire With Buckets Bv United Press NEW BRITAIN, Conn., May B.

ACCUSE JUROR OF BRIBERY IN LIGGETT TRIAL Grocer Also Held After Second Death Hearing Ends in Disagreement. C;/ United Frets NASHVILLE. Tenn., May B. B. P. Osburn, juror who caused disagreement in the second trial of Walter L. Liggett on murder charges, was arrested today and charged with accepting a bribe to hold out for acquittal of the wealthy grain dealer. Rainey M. Cresswell, a grocer, also was held, charged with bribing Osburn. Liggett himself was implicated in the jury fixing plot, according to Richard M. Atkinson, attorney-gen-eral, who said both Osburn and Cresswell had confessed. Confessions of the juror and grocer were parallel, authorities said, Osburn admitting he was approached by Cresswell, and Creswell, who sat beside Liggett during the trial, admitting he not only approached Osburn with a suggestion “that there was money in it for somebody who could hang the jury,” but that one or two days after Osburn was accepted on the jury he met Liggett and Liggett said "he would give as much as $200.” Liggett was on trial charged with killing Turney M. Cunningham, husband of Liggett’s mistress.

Ingrown Nail Turns Right Out! Pain Stops Instantly! "Outgro” is a harmless antiseptic manufactured for chiropodists. However, anyone can buy from the drug store a tiny bottle containing directions.
