Unheralded and uncelebrated though it was, July 17 marked another long step forward in human progress. On that day the United States air mail service completed a year of operation unmarked by a single fatality. During this period the planes flying on the New York to San Francisco route covered 1,750,000 miles, and more than 49,000,000 letters totaling 1,224,500 pounds were transported by air. If doubt still remained In the mind of, anyone that the mails of the future will be moved through the -air, swiftly and safely, this remarkable feat of the pioneer air mail service should dispel it. Its record also proves that aviation has made much more progress than the casualty lists of the "daredevils" have indicated. These mail flyers flew a distance equal to flying 70 times around the earth without a single fatal accident. It is at once a vindication of the aerial mail service, and also of aviation. The record of the air mail service for the past year proves more conclusively than any other test ever made, the reliability and the efficiency of the airplane irt commercial service. Through every kind of weather, summer, fall, winter and spring, and over mountains, deserts and forests, the Post Office Department air mail planes flew. The percentage of trips actually completed was 92.5 as compared with 83 per cent for the last fiscal year. The percentage of scheduled miles actually flown was even higher, totaling 94 per cent. While routes totaling 820 miles were discontinued during the last fiscal year and only the transcontinental route of 2,680 miles maintained, the Air Mail Service nevertheless carried the same amount of mail as it did last year or 23

per cent more in each airplane load. Officials of the Air Mail Service attribute the record of no fatal accidents in a year to the fact that fill their pilots now are experienced and tried and they knew the routes. The mechanics, too, are more experienced. The previous year was a pioneer year. Then the pilots were learning the route-, they were flying and the field and hangar equipment was inadequate. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 121, 17 people died in accidents in the Air Mail Service. Many of the fatalities occurred with the metal monoplanes which were abandoned.

AMERICAN BEAUTIES SURPASS FRENCH MAM'ZELLES IN CHARM. SAYS DUCHESS

ST. JOHN

AMERICAN PASSION PLAYS Is this a godless generation? Many have affirmed that it is, and that this country is in the grip of a mad money-spending era. From Seattle, however, comes the news that 7,000 persons have staged a Passion Play which is to become an annual production. Unlike those of the Oberammergau play, the scenes of this drama are not drawn directly from the life of Christ, but rather seek to portray the ultimate victory of truth and righteousness through His coming into the world. Previous to the production of The Wayfarer at Seattle, the city of Los Angeles, too, has annually presented The Pilgrimage Play, a religious drama which has attracted wide notice. Although American's productions cannot hope to rival those of the village players of Oberammergau, rich in a setting of time and tradition, the same spirit has irribued those who take part in tre American plays. All services are contributed; the players' only reward is the give to the world a thing of beauty and religious importance. The enthusiasm with which these two cities have entered upon such undertakings is proof enough that the production of these Passion Plays is worth while. Custom will soon establish traditions similar to those of the European Passion Plays. On both sides of the water, the dramas have touched a real need. Other parts pi the country might do well to institute such a custom as this. It is not unreasonable to expect that they would meet with similar success.
