AIR MAIL EXTENSIONS TO LATIN-AMERICA 1t probably has been natural to suppose that if Colonel Lindbergh could fly all over Central America and contiguous territory that it is advantageous to establish air mail to various countries in that direction. The air mail, however, is a service that continues daily, and it must be made to pay unless there is a gov- ernmental subsidy. Would there be | cnough atr mail to Central America to make such a service pay? An air mail service to Mexico City would be the best Bet; but even that is doubtful at this time.

JUST ANOTHER “NAWSTY SITUATION” Seems that these are parlous times—speaking civically, also civilly, Just at a moment when it looked as if the city were to obtain a desperately needed addition to the Benior High school along comes a hobgoblin, one of those Chinese dragons which haunt our dreams of the future, Our financial guessers have been making a sorry job this vear, It's been running in the blood. The guess last year that a needed to operate the schools. But the guess was wrong—just one of those things! It's hard to find fault with a poor guess, of course. One is inclined to twist a famed maxim into something like: Let him who has never guessed wrong throw the first brick. But twice in the same place, or rather, twice in the same week, knocks us dizzy. The guess now is that the cost of 4 high school addition will top the debt limit—or perhaps this i8 more a fact than a guess. Hoping it is neither may be another guess, and | what it lacks in vigor it.-makes up in that pensive trust and faith that| Knowledge of sanitation, purity of combats understanding. Plans for the new high school ad- dition were already hatched. The school committee and everybody who "has investigated have declared that the addition is absolutely necessary unlcss there is to he traffic conges- tion of a most oxious kind in the present building. Now will somebody of genius and rare insight please tell us what can be done about if the building—and some other school huildings to hoot ——are absolutely necessary and there i& no possibility of bond issuance to provide the money Something's got to give.

VACCINATION DRIVE | IN SMALLPOX WAR | Now that vaccination is to be en- | forced with greater rigor one of the; fairy stories told about it can be | squashed. Sad to relate, this is neces- | sary, as an intelligent appraisal of | this modern tnsurance nguinnl smallpox is by no means fully ac-‘ " cepted. Vaccination is not & process of “pouring filth into the blood.” The since 1902, and every particle of it is tested before sold. The vaccine is not during manufacture. Application of the Iymph is far less disagreeable than a dose of many medicines, and has no more effect upon the bodily functions than many a gulp of chemicals necded in case of illness. There have been only 41 cases of {lockjaw in many millions of cases of vaccination, and in each case the most thorough examination has dis- closed that the.lockjaw germ did not exist in the vaccine lymph.

An air mail service to certain other capitals to the south would be less likely to bring financial returns, Due to’ differences in language, correspondence between the Latin- American nations and the United States is restricted mainly to bus- iness letters, and it l& from thc commerclal world that the chief re- liance for support of an air mail service would come. Experience has shown that even the commercial world is not as eager as it was thought to be to take advantage of the speedier means of letter trans- portation, Much depends, of course, upon | the price of the air mail stamps.

The way to make air mail services successtul is to keep down the price. TELEPHONE CHANGES SAVE MO Like all companies in the Amer- ican Telephone and Telegraph sys- {tem, the New York Telephone com- pany has been paying 4 per cent of Bross operating revenues to the par- | ent company. This money was sup. posed to be in return for the use of telephone instruments and researck, engineering and financial services. The percentage was reduced from 4 1-2 per cent two years ago, and {now will be cut to 2 per cent. The | net saving will be considerable, in the case of the New York company the estimate is $500,000 annually. The background of the telephone business also includes the leasing of !instruments from the A. T. & T., which bought them from the West- ern Electrie company, which it owns. The New York Telephone company now is free to buy these in- struments direct from the Western ever has the courage to do so. | Great savings are anticipated.
