AIR FREIGHT AT
$.30 TON MILE
Colonel Henderson Forecasts
Government’s Plans to Link
Industrial Centers
Washington.—Air transportation at
a cost of less than 30 cents a ton
mile, with speeds approximating 100
miles an hour.
Nation-wide connecting up of all
Important commercial and industrial
centers, with air mail operating at
night between such of these centers
as are approximately 1,000 to 1,400
miles apart.
Carrying of certain classes of mer
chandise in the air, and, ultimately,
the carrying of passengers on a large
scale.
These predictions were made re
cently by Colonel Paul Henderson,
Becond assistant postmaster general,
in charge of the Air Mail Service, who
believes it is “our national duty to
fly better than anybody else and to
make every possible practical ap
plication of this new trick which wre
have learned.”
But You Can Fly!
"Developments of the past few
years have put the little bit of slang
‘you can no more do that than you
can fly’ permanently on the shelf.
Today we are flying. We could not
fly if Benjamin Franklin hadn’t
burned his fingers on the end of a
kite string. We probably could not
fly if Rockefeller hadn’t been per
sistent in his attempt to find uses for
petroleum after i tcomes out of the
ground. We undoubtedly could not
fly but for the far-sighted experi
ment of Langley and the Wright
brothers,” Colonel Henderson said.
In the opinion of Colonel Hender
son it is unquestionably the duty of
tJie post office department to make
a practical application of the air
plane.
“The reason for this,” he says,
"comes through one of several of
the qualifications of aerial transpor
tation; that is, speed. The obstacles
to such an application come through
other characteristics of this new
type of transport, such as cost,
hazard and pretudice.
“If airplanes flew only 25 to 40
miles an hour they would not be of
much interest to the Postal Service,
but because they fly 100 or 200 miles
an hour they are of tremendous in
terest. If airships flying at this
great rate of speed might transport
their loads as economically per ton
mile as railroads, motor cars or other
established means of transportation,
then there would be no problem con
fronting the Air Mall Service. It
would simply te a case of buying
airplanes and tossing them into the
air.
Is Not Cheap
‘But air transportation is very ex
pensive. A few years ago it was
thought to be hazardous. It still
fails of falling into the category of
an afternoon’s picnic as far as safety
is concerned. There still remains
much to be done before universal,
nation-wide air mail service may be
looked for.”
Colonel Henderson pointed out that
there had been several distinct steps
in the post office department’s use
of the airplane. A start was made
in 1918 by the establishment of a
route from Washington to New York,
a distance of 200 miles by air line.
Later other independent and dis
connected routes were established be
tween such points as Cleveland and
Chicago, New York and Cleveland,
Chicago and Omaha, Chicago and
St. Louis, Chicago to Minneapolis
and St. Paul. None of these compara
tively short, disconnected routes was
sufficiently long to permit the air
plane earning for itself sufficient gain
over mail operation to develop any
marked advantage.
Must Go 1,000 Miles.
“It soon became quite apparent to
those who studied the subject that
the airplane could not really begin
to mean much in the matter of postal
transportation until the distance
covered was beyond 1,000 miles,”
Henderson said. "Basing its action
upon the experience which it had
derived from these operations, in 1920
plans were made for a transcon
tinental service, with New York as
one terminus and San Francisco the
other. In 1921 this service was ac
tually placed in operation.
"This was a relay service operated
in connection with the railway trains;
that is, that mall was flown during
the daylight hours from station to
station across this route, and during
the night this mail continued its for
ward movement in railway mail cars.
“Today we are operating seven
days-a-week continuous service from
New York to San Francisco, and this
operation is running along smoothly.
Pilots no longer fear flying at night,
because it is Just taken for granted
that night flying is here and here to
stay. People in New York are no
longer astounded when they get let
ters which left San Francisco early
the day before. San Francisco is
permanently moved up to within 34
hours of New York from the point of
view of the Post Office Department.”
The Department hopes to be able
to extend its flying operations by
lateral extensions to the transconti
nental run and is planning to ask
congress for substantial appropria
tions for this purpose.

ELECTION COST
IS $30,000,000
Colossal Sum Spent in 1920
Averaged 80 Cents for
Every Vote
, •
Washington—The conduct of a na
tional election costs American voters
upwards of $30,000,000.. according to
the best available statistics.
Reliable reports indicate that this
stupendous sum is necessary to in
stall the nation’s officials in office
through the medium of the ballot box.
In 1920, when campaign expendi
tures reached their dizziest heights,
officially reported disbursements
shower! that each vote cast repre
sented 80 cents spent! Unavailable
figures probably would add several
more dimes to the cost.
Of the estimated $30,000,000 neces
sary to hold a national election, about
one thord is paid by the states out of
revenues derived from taxation. The
remainder is contributed by the ad
herents and components of the vari
ous political parties.
The most expensive individual
office is, of course, the presidency.
It cost the republican party the
best part of $8,780,000 to install
Warren G. Harding in office four
years ago.
That total was divided as follows:
Over $2,800,000 was spent on behalf
of the ten republican asspirants for
the presidential nomination in the
preconvention campaign; the Na
tional Committee reported a paid up
expenditure of $5,319,729 during the
campaign, and it later paid off in ad
dition a deficit of $1,000,00 con
tracted during the fight.
The democrats were much more
conservative. The money spent on
behalf of James M. Cox totaled
about $2,660,000.
In addition to the expenditures of
the national commitiees of the two
dominant parties, their Congression
al committees managed to dispose
of slightly over $400,000; their Sena
torial committees reported an outlay
of more than $330,000, and their state
committees spent nearly $3,000,000.
To be exact, the total reported ex
penditures of the republican and
democratic parties in 1920 amounted
to $15,185,642.92!
This figure, however, is far from
all inclusive. First must be taken
Into consideration the outlays of
Senatorial and Congressional candi
dates and of county and local com
mittees all over the country. Also
muit bo Included the disbursements
of minor political parties and of such
partisan organizations as the Antl
Saioon league, the labor unions, and
of various other industrial and religi
ous organizations.
Estimating these conservatively
at $5,000,000—on - the authority of
many experts and political treaties
■—the total is brought up to around
$20,000,000. And to this must be
added the cost of holding state elec
tions.
In the absence of exact figures this
cost is reckoned at'about $10,000,000
conservatively. The fact that New
York state alone expends about $1,
750,000 is fair indication that thq
total is not overstated.
Thus is arrived at the approximate
cost of a national election, based on
the past records. The total this
year may not go so high, particularly
Insofar as the presidential candidates
are concerned, for there has been
muoh said of late about the evils of
huge campaign funds and a rigid
survey is being made of all disburse
ments by a specially appointed Sena
torial committee under the chair
manship of Senator Borah, of Idaho.
Political organizations are required to
report periodically on their receipts
and expenditures, and all parties are
endeavoring to keep the total dow'n.

MUSSOLINI OF
ANCIENT FAMILY
Ancestors of Italian Premier
Were Prominent Nearly
1,000 Years Ago
Rome.—Signor Mussolini’s descent
from a notable family who flourished
in Bologna nearly a thousand years
ago is being traced by Count Ceceilo
di Prampero, a genealogist and
painter, who is also engaged in por
trait sketches of the Italian Premier.
The count has found the original
manuscript of a letter addressed to
the doge by Gaspare Bombaco, con
taining a reference to the family of
Malsani or Malsavii. This letter
dates from about the year 1000.
One branch of the family, after
some rioting in Bologna, was ban
ished and settled in Venice. About
1,150 a Marco Mussolini was one of
the nobles of the Venetian Council.
After 1289 the two branches re
united in Bologna, where members
of the family occupied prominent
positions. Giovanni Mussolini, a
physician, was in 1434 created a
count palatine by the Emperor /3ig
Ismund, who also granted him the
right to transmit the title te his
heirs.
It is difficult to follow the de
scendants of the Mussolini family
after this date; but Count dl Pram
pero, who is continuing his re
searches, hopes to complete the
genealogical tree.

SMUGGLING OF
ALIENS GROWS
Syndicate of Taxicab Men
Said to Be Getting Rich
In Illegal Traffic
Malone N Y.—Immigrants are
sneaking over the Canadian border
from House’s Toint to Ogdensburg
in hundreds and working their way
stealthily down through the state to
New York city or other industrial
centers where they can mingle in
safety with people of their own race.
Admitting this today, federal of
ficials here charged that there Is,
in Montreal, a syndicate of taxicab
men openly advertising along the St.
Lawrence river front that they will
take aliens into the United Stales
without formalities of complying with
the immigration regulations estab
lished by the drastic new national
restrictive Immigration law.
Knowledge of this syndicate came
through questioning immigrants who
have been arraigned before Federal
Judge Frank Cooper for illegal entry
Into this country.
Professional violators of the law,
it is said, have given up bootleg
ging for the more profitable smug
gling of aliens across the border.
They can get more for carrying a
load of aliens across the border over
some little used and unguarded route
than they can by bringing a load
of liquor over. The danger of getting
caught is also less. Consequently
aliens who know they cannot enter
because of the rigid restrictions at
the regular port are booking passage
to Montreal and then joining the
category of liquor and opium in order
to get in.
N Dozens of them are sneaking Into
New York city daily, It Is believed,
and the number is bound to increase
as the process becomes better known
unless some action is taken.
Federal officials are studying the
problem. While up to a year ago
few immigrant cases ever came into
court, now the Northern Judicial
District of New York is deluged with
them. At the last arraignment day
In federal court between 50 and 75
were fined $1,000 each and pent to
jail for three months by Judge
Cooper.
On the next arraignment day more
than 75 were awaiting the action of
the court. This is about as great ac
the number of bootleggers who are
caught in the district. No such num
bers were ever known before and
federal officials estimate that for
everyone who is caught dozens get
by. Once across the line the aliens
are comparatively safe because of tlu
large number of foreigners through
out the state with whom they may
mingle.
May Raise Penalty
Judge Cooper is considering In
creasing the penalty in this district.
If the deluge continues it is expect
ed by persons in his confidence that
he will regard the onrush of aliens as
evidence that three months in jail
and $1,000 fine Is not enough. Jails
along the border are filled not with
bootleggers, but with immigrants, and
in the future more may be sent to
Atlanta.
POOR OUTLOOK

London Survey Shows That
Small Percentage of Intel
lectual Women Marry
London.—It Is the “gay" and
"dashing” type of woman, who is not
afraid to take a chance on happiness,
that is most given to marriage
among modern women.
A small percentage of professional
and intellectual women marry at all;
and when they do marry, it is in the
forties, when their professional car
eers are well started.
There is also a great decline in the
marriage rates among domestic
workers who, in the past, married
most readily and were most prolific.
The observation that applied gen
erally to unmarried women of Vic
torian days—that It was women who
could not marry rather than those
who did not wish to marry who
swelled the ranks of the spinsters—
applies also the unmarried women in
domestic service today, according to
an official of the Domestic Workers'
bureau.
“Most of the women we deal with
between the ages of 20 to do not
marry because it is not economically
possible,” she said. "The desire is
there, but not the means. I continu
ally receive applications from women
who want to marry and cannot bo- |
cause their fiances are out of work
or not earning enough. They want
posts that can be filled by young
married couples. Such posts, of
course, are difficult to find."
“They simply stop and think,” said
Mrs. Seaton Tiedeman, secretary of
the Divorce Law Reform league.
"Marriage as it exists today is too
penalized to attract the intellectual,
the advanced, or well-placed woman
Some teachers, for example, must re
sign on marriage; and wages are
pooled for the Income tax collector.”
These facte, added to the marriage
statistics for the first quarter of this
year in England and Wales. 93,990—
the lowest on record since the estab
lishment of civil registration in 1864
—betoken poor prospects for Cupid.
