Have a Hobby Collectors Hot on Trail of First Air Mail Covers

BY MRS. C. O. ROBINSON AS an adjunct to philately, a collection of first flight air mail covers makes an interesting study, because it tells the story of the phenomenal development of aircraft and air transport. •In the early days of aviation, the pilot who attempted a flight carried a few pieces of mail to use as souvenirs of the trip should it be successful. These covers were treasured and are very valuable today. If the trip ended in a crash and the letters were salvaged, they were prized even more highly. When regular mail service was established in the United States and new air service was opened in a town, the postoffice department furnished the postmaster with a cachet for use on mail dispatched on the first flight. This custom continues and one of the covers illustrated is the most recent cachet. The other two are first flights from Indianapolis. There has been an amusing amount of discussion as to which should be considered the first air mail flight. Someone facetiously has stated that the first air mail was carried in 44 B. C. when Brutus and Cassius fled from Rome after killing Caesar, and sent messages to each other by carrier pigeons. Others claim that the first air mail was a letter written by George Washington and carried on Jan. 9,

1793, by Jean Pierre Blanchard, a famous balloonist, when he ascended at Philadelphia and landed at Woodbury, N. Y. Naturally, this was a balloon test and not an air,.nail flight. > non THE St. Louis Globe Democrat says that the first formal attempt to dispatch air mail in the United States originated in St. Louis, when John Wise, in 1859, left for New York by balloon carrying a bag of mail. The balloon reached its destination, but the mail was dropped into Lake Ontaio because the gas bag was threatened with disaster. Si* weeks later the postmaster cf Lafayette, Ind.. sent mail for New York in a balloon that landed at Crawfordsville. That letters and newspapers were carried from Paris by balloon during the siege of 1870 is well known, as many of these covers now exist. However, all these instances can not be called air mail flights by any stretch of the imagination. Many first air mail flights by plane also are claimed, but Sept. 14, 1911. is acknowledged as the date of the first air mail flight in the United

States. Then, during a great aviation meet, Earl Ovington carried mail from a temporary postoflice at Sheepshead Bay, L. I„ to Jamaica, L. I. Calbraith Rogers carried mail on his pioneering coast to coast flight in 1911. Glen Martin flew mail between Los Angeles and Compton, Cal., from Jan. 20 to Jan. 28, 1912. He was sworn in by the postmaster of Los Angeles as a mail carrier which gave him the distinction of being the first air mail carrier. Lincoln Beachey made exhibition flights on which he carried covers, but again these attempts at air delivery were not true air mail flights, but were only publicity stunts. non THIRST serious effort to establish an aerial post in the United States took place on May 15, 1918, when a regularly scheduled flight between New York and Washington was inaugurated, using army planes and pliots. In the presence of President and Mrs. Wilson, Major R. H. Fleet took off with the first consignment of mail for New York and Lieutenant George L. Boyle flew the return ship. Although after a few months this service was abandoned, the postoflice department was not discouraged and determined to find the best route for an airway from coast to coast by way of Cleveland and Chicago. Three pilots started from New York. One was forced down, secured a second plane and reached Pennsylvania, where he gave up and sent his mail on by train. The other two crashed in Ohio. In fact mail set by air in 1918 went through so many crashes

that delivery was delayed instead of expedited. By May, 1919, one year after the first official attempt at air mail schedule, the service had improved to such extent that a route tvas established between Chicago and Cleveland and in July this line was extended to New York. Also, in this year, the first delivery of mail to a ship was accomplished and the firs f international air service was established between New York and Havana. In 1920 the western terminus of the air line was extended to San Francisco and the continent was spanned. nun UNTIL 1925 the air mail transport was a division of the postoffice department, which can be credited with the progress made in aviation in the United States. Transport of air mail has been the foundation of air traffic and development of aviation would have been deferred several years if the federal government had not established an aerial post. Because banking houses on airlines had the advantage of interest savings over those in cities not on air routes, the air mail delivery was it.ken from government control and contracts given to private transport companies. Eddie Cantor overlooked this fact in his explanation of the present postal deficit. Although air lines crisscross the nations of the world and reach from one continent to another, air mail service is in its infancy and in the future today will be considered a pioneering period. Therefore, now is the time to begin a collection of air flight covers, which will be a record of this amazing accomplishment.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Brin? your questions to Jane Jordan, who will answer them in this column within a few days. DEAR. Jane Jordan: I’m a senior at Butler college and engaged to be married as soon as lam graduated. I love my fiance and want to marry him, but I am also 'anxious to find a job, not so much for the money it would bring as for the interest it would hold for me. I don’t want to settle down into a domestic routine. This attitude hurts my fiance’s pride. He doesn’t believe in a woman working after marriage. We would like to hear your opinion on this subject. BUTLER CO-ED. ANSWER— I am in sympathy with your desire to create a life for yourself apart from your husband, but since he is not, you’re in for trouble. William Johnson gives a most Amusing picture of the plight of the typical male married to a woman with a job. He coins a word for this condition which he calls “hemigamy.” Here is his definition: “Hemigany is the state in which a husband lives when he has a wife half married to him and half married to a job.” And here is how he feels about it: “Far more men these days have half a wife than any one realizes. Each year more and more married women are going out and getting jobs for themselves, and the number of these half-wives is increasing in alarming degree. “I doubt whether many of us men realize how far we have slipped and how fast we still are slipping from our former proud and lofty position, when each of us had one wife who was all his own. n u tt “It is a lamentable fact that once any of our wives begin to earn money of their own, we men no longer command the feminine respect and adulation that used to be ours in the good old days when the husband was the only wage earner. Turn back to the pages of your own childhood. Do you remember what an important personage in the household your father was, infinitely more respected, reverenced, feared, and looked up to by his wife and by his children than you are by your wife and family? “In those forgotten days, before hemgamy became prevalent, we men were some pumpkins. The whole household was organized to insure our comfort and every member of the family catered to our whims. If there were any pleasant little vacations to be taken, it was we men who took them. “We went fishing and hunting, attended the trotting races and took occasional little trips to the city. Woman’s place was 1n the home and generally we left her there. “It was we men who ventured forth to enjoy the world's pleasures. If there was any money to be spent, we men spent it. If there was any money to be bequeathed, it went to the male members of the family.: tt ft r “The strong, forceful type of he- i man still wants the soft, sweet old- 1 fashioned feminine sort of girl for a wife. The woman who appeals most to him is the kind that is content to stay in the home and let him do the wrestling with the cruel world for the cash they need. “He wants a wife who will be in the house to greet him when he comes in, who will go into raptures over the presents he brings her, who will be at his beck and call when he wants her, who will ornament his dinner table, entertain his friends, comfort him when he is tired, cheer him when he is depressed. “If she’ll do these things he is ready to give her all the money she wants, and if he hasn't enough, he'll hustle to get some more. This heman type of husband simply will net listen to the idea of his wife getting a job. No half-wife for him.” This outworn masculine attitude is particularly irritating to the modern woman. What men do not realize is that women have been-put-ting up with hemagamy in their husbands for years. The husband who is half married to a job and half married to a wife is a universal institution.
