Jt is believed by experts that the decision by congress to make it pos sible for the postoffice department, npt only to maintain 'the present transcontinental service, but to in crease it by putting in a night flying service, will greatly increase com mercial aviation. It is the govern ment's contribution to the flying game. . Europe is still ahead of the United States in freight and passenger air service, but their lines are main tained bv subsidies. Government au thorities are seriously considering the advisability of offering subsidies to increase this branch ot the service in- the United States.

Omaha's Locationffl an Asset The central location of Omaha, and the importance it. is bound to as sume as a transportation center in the event of further development of airwav for commercial purposes, it js recognized hefe, makes it a likely contender for the seat of this, future industry. , . . The developments - the night air mail service out of New York will be the first work of the postoffice de partment. This will mean the estab lishment of night landing fields and night signal ways, so, the night fly ing courses may be pursued regu larly. This service, it is believed, will lessen the mail distance between Omaha and New York almost one half. Omaha Makes Bid for Next Water.

Twenty-six years ago IS youngsters, eight and seven boys, pu pils of the Uiairict school at Good Intent, Kan., broke up their little circle that had remained intact for eight years, when they parted upon graduation from the little red school house on the hill The parting was so sad that one of the pupils, by way of offering solace, suggested that each member of the class pledge himself to gather for a reunion every year. In childlike confidence of fulfillment, they all gave their pledge to meet every year, rotating in their respective homes. Fate took a hand in holding them to their seemingly rash promise by one of ber strange pranks. Instead of 15 homes to play host for the re union there are now only eight, the seven boys of the class marrying their girl classmates. The "odd" one was Mrs. R. B. Baker, who is tak ing her turn here as hostess for the 26th reunion. The reunion began with a dinner and theater party"and will conclude Sunday with a fishing party- . .
