FAST AR SERVICE FROMD.C.LANNED 90-Minute Flights to Link Washington and New York Over Established Line. Ninety-minute passenger service be- tween the National Capital and New York will be established this Spring by the Washington-New York Alr Line, | which has been operating an aerial passenger service between the two cities for more than a year. Orders have been placed for three Lockheed-Vega six-place cabin planes, with 410-horsepower Wasp motors, which will have a maximum speed of 170 miles per hour, and delivery of the first plane is expected within two weeks. ‘The planes will be put into service as soon as received. ‘Test runs have been made with the new type of plane and four runs have been made between New York and Washington, the average flying time for the four runs being one hour and 25 minutes. One of the runs was made in 75 minutes, which is said to be a| record for commercial planes between the two citles. New Planes of Speed Type. "Rhe present passenger schedule on the line allows 2 hours and 15 minutes for the trip. The planes used at present are Ryan cabin monoplanes similar in design to the Spirit of St. Louls, in which Col. Charles A. Lindbergh made his New York-Paris flight. The new planes are similar to that in which Capt. Frank Hawks recently | established a new non-stop speed record from San Francisco to New York, mak- ing the hop from ocean to ocean in & few minutes more than 18 hours, despite severe storms through which he flew a greater part of the distance. Cuts Rail Time in Half. Constantly greater speeds are neces- | sary if aviation is to succeed as a pas- senger and express service, especmly over short distances, it was stated by bert E. Funkhouser, president of the Washington-New York Air Line and the ‘Washington Alrport, in announcing the new service. The present service cuts the railroad time in half, he pointed out, but even this saving of time is not re- garded as sufficient in view of recent aeronautical progress. “Business and industry are being speeded up in every direction,” Mr. Funkhouser said, “and it is logical and essential that transportation keep pace. Only through the airplane, in my opinion, can the progressive business man of varied interests, whose time is valuable, speed his movements suffi- clently to stay abreast of developments. “Just how the aviation industry and air line operators are progressing is shown in the constantly rising speed curve, and in the substitution by com- mercial operators of faster ships for older and slower ones.

FAIRFAX, Va., April 27—Ira L. Hutchison of Pender has announced his candidacy for member of the House of Delegates on an independent ticket. He is the first candidate in the field and, according to his statement, he is the man to run on an independent tficket in Fairfax County for 50 years. Mr, Hutchison declined to make public his platform at this time, Is Civilization (Continued From First Page.) saviour for seeing us. Hardly had the door closed when my associate at- tacked me. “You mustn't do that” he said, in tones of horrified resentment. “When I go to see people I go as a big man; you made me seem to be asking a favor!” Here, I suggest, & sense of humor would have saved him, though my loss in that case would have been incalcu- lable. And this glimpse into the mind of a big man illustrates exactly what I mean by a sense of humor. to see a joke or make one. us can do that. ‘When We Are the Joke. What is apt to be so difficult is when | we ourselves are the joke in question, | when we are, in fact, the star turn in the most uproarious farce of the mo- ment. If we can laugh then as heartily as the others, we are immune to all that life can do to us, and there is no | calamity known to the gods which can ever plerce our armor. We have an instinct to do so; for it is common, with really coplous weep- ers, to be washed, as it were, into laughter. I have witnessed this per- formance a number of times, and it has always seemed to me most encour- aging. It showed that we possess the right spirit, which, however we may seek to conceal it, emerges at last in cur despair. With a little practice, it seems to me, the moist stage might be elimi- nated entirely, and a return made to what is, in my opinion, the natural attitude toward life. Save when un- dertaken by a woman, weeping is the most futile of all our activities, and surely there is something comic in our making plans at all That js not to say that T myself do not make plans. I do. most prolific and inveterate maker of | plans, all of which I confidently ex- pect to come off—that is to say, that my behavior with regard to them is| indistinguishable from the of one who expects them to come off, | though I am not at any time under | any delusion in the matter. ‘ But, realizing fully that the odds | are a thousand to one against me, I| can fliing myself with all the more | abandon into the enterprise, in much | the same spirit as that in which I might engage in a little tussle with Tunney, for the amusement of myself and friends.

SUNDAY *TAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. APRIL 28, 1929—PART 2 5 Worth While? So in life, so pathetic are our re- sources and so tremendous the forces against which we must pit them that | our greatest enterprise is only s rag, with nothing to commend it except the fun it gives us at the time. In Deadly Danger. Once you believe that you are do- ing something remarkable, that it is your self and not your work which is praiseworthy and unique, you are in the most deadly danger possible of thinking yourself a genius. And in case you do not sppreciate the horror of this position, let me beg you to look around at those of your friends who are in the grip of | this really piteous illusion. It is insidious in onset and has many terrible forms; but the com- monest premonitory symptom is a | loss of the sense of humor. The suf- | ferer cannot laugh at himself; he be- lieves himself to be engaged in work which is so essentially serlous and permanent as to entitle to reverence and set him apart from man- kind. He may not say so but he feels it in his heart, and he is commonly urged, on that account, to the most dreadful behavior at the last. He becomes “temperamental”—which is to say “impossible”—and he is not un- commonly apt to be somewhat unpleas- ant and anti-social in his habits. He may at length even seek pub- licity to justify his nastiness, when it is clear that his sense of humor has deserted him entirely. To such a pass, then, may one come by taking one's self seriously, and against this evil a sense of humor is the one and only amulet. There is, I believe, no aspect of life in which it will fail the user, and at the end, when the fair is over, it will | lighten the journey home. TO LEASE | 14th Street nr.
