ASUNCION, Paraguay. (') The
roar of au airplane motor Is sub

in thin tiny capital.
Citizens are now warned from
the kles of the semi-weekly arrival
of air mail from Buenos Aires, and
postoftlce clerks must bo on the
job or Incur the wrath of residents
expecting" correspondence.
Pilots of the Krench l.atecoere
line's planes, carrying mull be
tween lltienos Aires and Asuncion,
have recently adopted tho practice
of circling the city several times
to announce their arrival to the
citizenry.
The strategy involved serves to
defeat the Indifference of iiostal
employes, who previously delayed
long in the distribution of mail.
The excuse always was that the
plane had been late, and as the
landing fluid is far from the center
of town, no ono could refute the
story.
Now the whole city knows of the
arrival of the planes and those ex
pecting mail lose no time In set
ting to Hie postoffiee to collect.
The air mail from ntionos Aires
reaches Asuncion In seven hours'
time. Two days are required by
train antl four by river boat.

Metropolitan policyholders including about one' fifth
of the total populations of United States and Canada
have built up their reserves from millions into billions.
THE financial story below is a record of
achievement by men and women who are
planning to avert want or to build estates. You
may admire their steadfastness of purpose last
year under handicaps which tested courage.
These people policyholders of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company are building for their
future. They would like to know what the future
holds in store for them and for the country as a
whole.
Let them, and other citizens, examine any chart
of our country's unparalleled prosperity over the
past hundred years. It appears, not merely as a
jagged line, but as a series of towering steps which
rise steadily onward and upward.
It is heartening now to recall that, after each
depression, our country has always gone forward
to greater heights of prosperity and better, sounder
standards of living. Today this country has more
riches and better facilities than ever before with
which to commence her next great period of
development.
A review of the financial history of the United
States since it was founded in 1783 should turn
any pessimist into an optimist.
The Metropolitan will gladly mail, free, a book
letThe Development of Prosperity in America",
telling of past ups and downs and tps aftain
and how soon the "ups" followed.
