Although the air service is equip- ped with obsolete and discarded army planes, according to Mr. Adams the service has maintained a standard for completing trips on schedule of 96.31 per cent which he said was better than the Pennsylvania railroad has done, He said it was the most won- derful afr service in the world, even more wonderful than the passenger serviee between London and Paris. If the appropriation for $3,000,000 pending is granted, N Britain will benefit since it is planned to ex- tend this service to Boston and use the Hartford landing field as a postal station. Referring to the use of the airplane in the forestry service he said that out of 1,100 forest fires last year 720 were sighted first by airplanes. He d in 1921 the cost of carrying freight by airplane was 38 cents per while now it is .036.

Schools prepare the brain for the thinking it should do in afterlife. They simply prepare, What use a man makes of that preparation is up to the man himself. The brain, like the body, must be developed or become flabby. A man who did not exercise his body would soon become helpless. |A man who did not exercise his brain would become worse, The former does harm only to himself. The latter be- |comes a menace to civilization. The brain is life. An athlete cannot hope to reach great heights unless he complements his physical powers with brain work. Read what Knute tocke says about his Notre Dame eleven, 1t is not sufficient for a can- didate to be strong physically. Rockne wants men who are quick mentally, who can study problems and reach a decision on the spur of the moment. The driver of an automobile must be mentally alert or suffersthe conse- quences. His brain must be capable lof telegraphing orders quickly to his teet and hands. If the brain is slug- gish the feet and hands cannot be expected to do the right thing, be- cause they cannot think. Brain exercise is the most advanta- geous in the life of man. Quick thinkers are not always the best thinkers. The Observer knows men who reach decislons slowly, but their decisions are usually sound. But the fact remains that they do think. The brain will function voluntarily 10 just such a point. To get beyond that point it must be pushed. Think- ing makes men climb hills. If their brains did not tell them to climb they would stay at the bottom. | atity | | should Think it over. Ask the keen observer who has had do men who work with their hands, what becomes of the laboring man who has such a strong person- and possesses the qualifications of the leader of men, after he has shown that personality and has be- come a leader of his fellow laborers. This keen observer will tell you that the worker is watched by his em- ployers carefully, and the moment his strength is recognized he will be taken from the ranks and put into “the of- fice.”” What becomes of him then? Gradually he sees the employer viewpoint the employer's the former laborer either becomes a most strict advocate of the prejudices of the employer or, remembering his own experience as a worker with his hands, he becomes a really great man, seeing both the em- ployer's and the worker's side of a question and taking a stand as fair to hoth as possible, It is in no spirit of eriticism of Mayor Paonessa that the Observer, disclaiming any special “keenness, fe the mayor has had the exper- lence of secing another side to ques- tions of which, before his elevation to the mayoralty, he was inclined to see but one side. He has seen, if the Ob- server’s conjectures are correct, that there are reasons in many cases why the popular appeal has not as much basls of right as that of the officers to whom such appeal is made. It has been noticed that he has refused to take a stand on some matters, which be believed did not concern him as mayor, and has refused to take action and employ the power of his office to advance some courses with which, he apparently believed, his office should not interfere. And this is said with- out insinuating that he has lost any of his appreciation of the rights of “the people” or any of his energy in champioping their canse.
