Truly, airplane pllota will be roaring through the skies carrying Chrlatmus gifts and greetings from one end of the United States to the other. And quite fitting It la, too. that gifts should ar rive In this manner, for Isn't It true that those reindeer steeds of Santas always had a pro penalty for air travel? Alwnys the pictures we hare seen of them show them coming down the sky nhout to settle on the snowy roofs of houses below them. But now. Instead of Dasher and Dnncer, Pmn- cer and Vixen, Bonder and Blltzen, the six fast animals who for so long have pulled Santa’s sleigh loaded with gifts to our chimney tops. It Is Pratt and Whitney, Curtiss and Fokker, Boeing and Corsair, airplanes and engines, that soom through the aklea carrying the great load o f Christmas mall. And that rotund figure with white beard nnd Jolly face who dressed In a bright red costume trimmed with Arctic fur has been supplanted by a different breed of man, one who la leaner of figure and sterner of face. He Is no less Jolly by nature, perhaps, but he Is serious with the new Intelligence of air navigation. He and hla fellow pilots are men who have been selected to fly the mall becauso of their superior qualities as aviators. The well-placed fulth which the public has In the accuracy and speed of air mall dispatch Is more than usually evident at Christmas time. Beginning about the first of December air line employees start preimratlon for the rush of air mall and express that will begin about that time and by three days before Christmas will have reached an almoat cyclonic pitch. As the Influx of mall Increases extra planes and pllota as a guide. With such a tremendously rapid medium of transportation as the airplane that accomplishment fell Into the realms of the com- uionplace.

A young woman living In I -os Angeles sent as a Christmas gift to a friend living on the snow- swept prairies of Illinois a bouquet of orchids. Snnta Claus with his very swift reindeer couldn't have done much better In delivering a perishable gift such a long distance. Mnny shipments of toys, such as little sets of tin soldiers, dolls and mechanical gadgets form a part of the cargo of a mall plane. An ex quisite. beautifully set pearl bracelet, whose value was almost that of the ship which carried It, was once part of the cargo In a shipment of air express. What about the mall pllota on Christmas day? Do they share In the festivities or Is It Just an other work day for them? In the Isolated dis tricts In the Far West and Northwest It Is cus tomary for the people to come from miles around and gather at the airport to sea the ship come In, Just as It used to he customary In small communities to go down to the depot and see the train come In.
