Charles A. Lindbergh.; On that line a night on the Santa Fe, going either eaat or west, follows a full day in the air. A first flight of short dura tion may give thrills but a pro longed flight has the effect on the novice of making his mind think he is still flying after he Is back' on earth, just us a person long at sea wulks with a rolling gait even after Irtnding. A recent passenger from Cali fornia on the plane-train line, who had never flown before, com pleted his Tlrst day in the air, to I'lovis, X. M-, with such complete lack of discomfort that he com plimented himself on the ease with which he adapted himself to the new mode of travel. But that was before he rolled into his train sleeper for the night jump to Waynoka, Okla. "1 was flying all night in my Fleep," he told feilow passengers the next morning. "Every time " the train Jerked 1 fell about 1,000 feet and when it leaned on a grade I executed a vertical bank that would have won me a pilot's Hoense from any Department of Commerce Inspector. I liked fly ing in n plane all right, but fly ing In a train was not so good." This passenger took to the air again in the morning, however, for another full day of actual fly ing and by nightfall he had In fact adapted himself to flying and his second flight on the rails was passed with 'oil due regard to the law of gravitation. Aviation officials believe that these long flights on the trans continental lines will do far more toward making accustomed fliers out of novices than any number of short hops; even though they may l-emporariiy have such triHi results as making the passengers feel as if they were still flying after they come down.

"Today Manchuria rolls up more than one-third of China's exports. Ginseng and falcon feathers have been burifd under mi annual mountain of 5.F.O0.UO0 tons of sy beans. More than half the rail way mileage of China is in Man churia. I (n iron, the chief port, has risen from thirteenth to third among Chinese ports. In 1!2S Dairen handled S,n:t7,ooo long tons of exports and Imports, a total shipping greater in tonnage than that of any American port ex cept New York. "Observers compare the Man churinn migration to the western march of Americans in the 'TO's and 'SO's. Manchuria is as big as Montana, North Dakota, Minne sota and Wisconsin and has much the same kind of country, llece are the treeless plains of the Dn kotas; lie re are Wisconsin's birch and pine forests: here are moun tains to stand in place of the Rockies and the Klack Hilts; here are the sod huts of home steaders trailing new railway lines.

P.ut thousands cannot pay $7 (Mexican) for a railroad ticket. Father, mother and children walk the ties north and It is fioo miles to Harbin where China's 'west' begins. "Manchuria in terms of peopl is not so pleasant to look upon as Manchuria in terms of figures. "The immigrant arrives at Dai ren with his family on a steamer packed tighter than an African slave shipi He has left behind the home and farm of his ances tors, and what is more painful to a Chinese, the graves of his an cestors. In his old home he was ordered by the government o grow popples for opium. When the crop was ripe the bandit-gov ernment seized the crop as illegal nnd confiscated his land for vio lation of law.

The man in the street is saying, "Chrysler has something up its sleeve" 5 5 Widespread gossip insists that Chrysler will soon make an announcement fully as sensational as its dramatic debut of five years ago.. Everywhere you hear that Chrysler is going to write another thrilling page of automotive history. The public, which has long expected the unexpected from Chrysler, is waiting In anticipation 5 5 Chrysler greatly appreciates the splendid compliment expressed In this nation-wide belief that tomething important impends that whatever Chrysler does it of vital interest end tangible value to the motoring public. It is particularly gratifying right now, in the face of the announcements recently made or promised by other manufacturers, to have American motorists thus reiterate their implicit confidence in Chrysler's ability to stay ahead and go even farther ahead ; The highest possible tribute to Chrysler prestige is this fact that, after all, everybody is watching Chrysler.
