PLODDING
The chap who makes a sensation and hursts on our at
tention like a meteor is all very well as a subject for litera
ture, but it is the steady, unexciting plodder that makes the
wheels go 'round.. There isn't anything especially original
in that statement, to be sure. P.ut it is called to mind by a
consideration of aviation in general and the airmail service
in particular. During the last year and a half we have wit
nessed any number of highly spectacular flights north,
south, east and west. Some of the flyers got through to reap
gtry and honor, and some of them did mysteriously out
in empty space; but all of them claimed a great deal of at
tention. Many of us, no doubt, drew our attitude toward
aviation ns a whole from the emotions aroused by these
hazardous, long-distance flights. These flights were thrill
ing and dangerous; so is all aviation. They were just a bit
uncertain; so is all aviation. They were romantic and ex
citing; so is all aviation. That is about the way a lot of
us look at it. It happens that we're mistaken in this atti
tude. The air mail service, spanning the continent and fly
ing day and night through good weather and bad, is a living
proof of it. While all of these spectacular flights were be
ing made, the airmail service pilots were going about their
daily routine, plodding steadily ahead without any bright
lights or welcoming crowds, developing the science of avia
tion to a point where it is safe, reliable and unexciting
reducing it from an adventure to a business, and saying
nothing about it. We seldom hear of the airmail except
when some pilot has an accident. Then, with our mind?
colored by the mishaps that attend so many of the "stunt"
fligjits, we shake our heads and mutter, "Ah, aviation
there's a dangerous calling for you nil right." How dan
gerous is it, anyway? Take the route between New York
and Cleveland, considered the most hazardous leg of the
whole trans-continental lino. For eight years or more this
line has seen conlimious service two trips a day, each way,
day and night. And how many pilots have been killed on
this dangerous route? Just eight! An average" of one a
year on the riskiest route in the service, where flights are
made in snowstorms, bli.zards, fogs nnd gales, at night lis
well as in the daytime. The airmail's great defect, from
the standpoint of public interest, is that it is not exciting
enough. It is perilously close to becoming routine plodding
-which means, of course, that the air has just about been
mastered.- While the ocean hoppers have guined the most
attention, it has been the airmail that has inside aviation a
Serviceable means of transportation.

UF.D TAI'H AND IDKAS
lied Inpc, wlu'ii considered dispassionately, is t lovely
thinjr. An Ameriean t'onjvrrssnian, who will have charo of
itaval legislation in this session of conpress, feels that n
friendly aKrcvoitMit with Kntrland ia both desirable and pos
sible, nnd writes to Uir l.iitish prime minister to see if
Anwriean and Pritivti !,.wmakers cannot meet Pomcwheiv
flnd tlilk it over. The Urilish prime minister writes a cor
dial reply nnd sends it to his ambassador in Washington to
deliver. The ambassador takes it to our .secretary of state
und asks to whom he shall jjive it. The secretary replies
that he knows nothing about it; he can't accept it himself,
and the ambassador can't give it to anybody else. So the
ambassador has to keep it ho ha it yet and the congress
man's idea diea n-borning. Maybe it was a bum idea any
how. Hut it's too bad it couldn't have been given a trial in
stead of simply being choked off by red tape.

STORY BY
As Santa If ft the bl doll bhou.
I one Tiny cried ' Come on. let 8;
(hop rig-lit n to doing what he Mtnl.
rwili b real fun lo paint. There
are ail sorts of dolls in here, and ;
some of them look mighty quer. j
When we get through, however,
they, will look real juce and
quaint."
The paint that Clowny grabbed
was red. "Now watch me d:tuhi
them up." he said. "I'll give them
all real rosy cheeks, unless tin ;
paint brush slips. And some will J
also get red hair. I don't think :
Santa Claus will care. Then last of
all I'll put a lot of red upon their;
lips." !
And then he reached up on a
shelf and took one .doll down for J
himself. "Oh, do be careful."
Srom y cried. "You'll drop It on;
the floor. Then, w hat a biunder j
you would make. I'm very sure the J
doll would break. We mustn't spoil j
the dolls 'cause that's i)ot whatj
we're here for."
The rest watched Clowr- Tor a;
while, and then they fl'l b i?.n to j
smile. "You're pretty good.' said
Coppy. "I was sure that you d pet
stuck. But you have made real j
lovely cheeks, especially on thei
doll that speaks. I think I'd better
find a can of paint, and try my i
luck."
Me looked around and found '
some blue, and then he staried j
paintinK, too. Kind Carpy brouchtj
h'm-one nice doll. It van the small-
lest size. "You'd better start on J
I thin,'" said ht "and he as careful,
j as you can be, If I were you 1 j
i think I'd use the blue paint In its
eyes.
Soon alt four Tinles sat around j
and worked real hard 'cause theyj
were bound to finish up the pain' j
int; task, and turn to other fun.j
At last they Jumped up to their:
feet, and Scouty cried. "They all
look sweet. There's not another
oration for the lea:ie and fixtures
was $12.nno. Mr. Sutherlin has
taken charge of the business and:
will be assisted for an indefinite.
time by Will and AIha Schmidt, i
sons of the preceding proinielor.

"lie Itifluen.a situation was r
ported to .be considerably Improved j
today, particularly with regard to
the schools. Attendance was much
better and only nine teachers were
absent this morning. Several of
the instructors are expected to re
turn tomorrow. The number of
new eases has decreased very
noticeably, and are chiefly con
fined to homes where the disease
hail already gained a foothold. In
dicating that the spread is not as;
rartid as fo-inerly. Most of (he cas
es of ub$ lice In the schools were
those of pupils who have been ill
for several days and a very small
percentage of new cases have de
veloped among the studtnts. it was
repotted. Ifr. DeWalt Payne, coun

wane and unless unfavorable
weather conditions are encount
ered the danger will soon be over.
