U. S, AIRLINES LESS PERILOUS THAN FRENCH American Routes 5 Times Safer. New Fatality Figures Reveal. lIV ftrTivv*-Hr,icnrd Xeietpaper Alliatire WASHINGTON, April 11.—It is much safer to fly as a passenger over America’s airlines, apparently, than it is those of France. A tabulation of France's airplane accident figures for 1928 has just been received by the department of commerce, it shows that one passenger was killed for every 167,000 miles of flying over the airlines that year. The tobies for the same year •how that in the United States planes on passenger lines flew 889.453 mile , for every person killed. Planes on regular passenger lines in France during 1928 flew over 3,000,000 miles and killed nineteen persons, and airline planes in the United States flew more than 10,000.000 miles and killed only twelve persons. In the total of all flying accidents in 1829, there were 114 persons killed in France and 161 in this country. Much more flying was done in America, and furthermore France has practically no private flying, a type which claims many lives. Cent-a*Pound Rides! Airplane rides for a cent a pound are to be offered at Capitol airport Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Passengers will be weighed and their fare will be 1 cent for each pound, making the total fare considerably cheaper for the average person.

SPOKANE Wash., April 11.— How the soul cf an Aphrodite ap- ! parentlv smouldered beneath the prim, prudish exterior of Lettie Jourdin, 37-year-old secretary of the county W. C. T. U., was disclosed today when physicians questioned her after her arrest and confession that she wrote more than two hundred threatening letters to ! herself over a period of two years. Miss Join din, “the little Sunday , school teacher,’’ secretly devoured the scandals she heard at the meetings of the “Ladies Aid,” it was declared.

Blame Ol’ Sol ft!/ I fitted- Prrnn WASHINGTON. April 11.— When fickle Mother Nature annoys her children with floods, droughts and unseasonable weather, she isn't altogether at fault. It’s the sun’s bad influence that makes her that way. At least, that's the theory the Smithsonian institution inclines toward after a long study of variations in the sun’s radiation "Every year adds data to support the belief that solar variation influences weather, and that this relation can be used in weather forecasting.” the institution said in a bulletin today.

A few days ago she was trapped by the man she loved. Sheriff Brower discovered the letters had been written on her typewriter. She is at liberty on SSOO bail and will be tried next month for sending obscene matter through the mails. “Revolt” on Beer Tax Hike IS u l nitrd Pres* BERLIN, April 11.—A “revolt” of the seventeen deputies of the Bavarian people’s party against the proposed increase in the national tax on beer has jeopardized passage of the Bruening government’s financial laws, upon which operation of the Young reparations plan and stabilizing of the nation’s economics depend.
