Rebecea is the raccoon, one of the tamest raccoons that ever lived, which was brought West from Wash ington as part of the White House menagerie. Rebecca has been quar tered in the stable 100 yards from the game lodge, since the President and Mrs. Coolidge arrived in the Blac Hills for their vacation, closely | guarded. Last night came Rebecca’s great opportunity. Somebody left the stable door open and Rebecea, who has been eating her heart out envying the mountain goats, sheep, the deer and bison, who have the freedom of 200 square miles of mountains, climbed the nearest hillside.

From a national defense standpoint, of course, the Government is alive to the necessity of encouraging aviation, but commercial aviation is something over which the Government can exer- cise only an indirect influence. Sum- moning Col. Lindbergh here simply means that his influence will be used in arousing the business men of the ountry to the importance of air trans- | portation. Already the Post Office | Department reports that the simple advertisement asking the public to send letters by air mail in connection with the Lindbergh celebration brought in immense returns. | Want / Mail Expan‘ed. Also on the first of next month the air mail service goes into private| hands. The Government is not in the habit of advertising to get business it does not have the profit-making incentive. The airplane companies which want to develop air mail will not hesitate to do everything that private business ordinarily does to stimulate sales. Thus, for esample, one city which has a univereity.is asking for an air- port and air mail service and one of the arguments made is that hundreds of thousands of letters written by boys and girls to each other in the scholastic age would come by air mall just as tons of it annually now goes by special delivery. The Government is so anxious to see the air mail service developed that it will not regard it as in any sense a competitor of the . mail service, though it is realized some of the revenue coming in now might be diverted. The expectation here is that Col. Lindbergh will accept the posi- tion tendered him in St. Louis, where a big airplane manufacturing business is planned, but that he will at the same time hold himself free to co- operate with the aviation units here ing Fleld, Maj.

No other sites are to be inspected by Maj. Covell and Lieut.

W Litch of the Naval Air Station to represent the Navy Department in the airport discussion. “In accordance with your letter of June 17." Mr. Warner wrote, “I take| pleasure in designating Lieut. E.

Charles Lindbergh was surrounded by the bluest blood ;n l}';‘reat Britain at the Derby charity all. But a society writer said she *‘no- ticed that he seemed to have little to say to pretty girls.” The New York to Paris aviator sat in the center of an admiring group of London's most distinguished hos- tesses, including the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marchionesses of Londonerry and of Cholmondeley and the Countess of Carlisle. There was one exception to the society reporter's statement. She was Miss Poppy Baring, who intro. duced Col. Lindbergh to various so- cial celebrities.
