S. Transcontinental Service ; ESCREENRADIO9 By WILLIAM PITTMAN By VIRGINIA VALE (Beleased by Western Newspaper Union.) (Beleased by Western Newspaper Union.) CHICAGO. American avia- tion will lace up its Seven League boots on September 8 to observe the twentieth birthday of transcontinental airmail. Giant strides have been taken during those twenty years. Mail planes have increased in size from small converted army planes with open cockpits to luxury liners. Transcontinental flying time has been cut from 82 hours to less than 14. 25-t- SEEMS that those year-ol- d twins, Beverly and Bar-ja Quintanilla, are to play ust one baby instead of two in Warner Brothers Four Moth ers, and all because William Keighley used his head.

One of a the laws that give directors gray hair is that an infant cant be kept under the lights IT on Airports throughout the country will celebrate the anniversary of the event which revolutionized communications and travel in this country. While rapid progress has been made, great improvements have already been planned for the future. United Airlines, for example, will put a score of n luxury liners into service next year. They will cruise 228 miles an hour with their loads of 40 passengers, crew of five, baggage, mail and express. Transcontinental airmail was born when U. S. Airmail Route No. 1 was opened on September 8, 1920. The 400 pounds of mail wouldnt fit into the plane, so the overflow was stuffed into a suitcase and strapped onto a wing. Night flying was too dangerous, so t dusk the mail was transferred to a train. The following morning it was again picked up by a waiting plane. The first pilots who blazed the trail across the continent had to work hard to make the trip in three days. 25-to- Their single, engines werent too reliable, and the meager instruments on the dash didnt always give accurate readings. No radio beam guided the plane, lights on airfields were unknown, and weather reports were very sketchy. Congress wasnt very impressed by this dual method of carrying the mail, and seemed inclined to discontinue the service. Seven pilots who volunteered to save the air mail by flying it across the continent paved the way for the worlds first airway lighting system. The first flight ranks among the top iir sagas of transportation history. I Historic Flight. Just before dawn of February 22, 1921, a pilot headed east from Sfen Francisco. After fighting bad weather to Reno, he turned the mail ower to a fresh pilot in a fresh plane. By nightfall the mail was in Nofith Platte, Neb., where it was picked jjup by Jack Knight. He flew the mail to Omaha, fbl- lowing the lights of bonfires sett vy public-spirite- d farmers. Tired and' ready for a rest, he learned that his relief pilot had been unable to reach Omaha, due to bad weather. Although very weary from his flight and entirely unfamiliar with the route ahead, he decided to take the mail through. Knight took off into the blackness of the night almost without flying aids. He picked his way from point to point, alternately studying a railroad map with the aid of his flashlight and peering through snow flurries at lights below. He pinched himself and slapped his fate to keep awake. The demonstration flight almost ended at Iowa City when Knight, ( Commemorating dentistrys 100th anniversary as a scientific practice 10,000 delegates to the American Dental associations national convention in Cleveland, Ohio, on Sepwill be asked to adopt tember the official dental emblem pictured1 above.

Assigned to fly several hours at night, he had to stay in the air until dawn because his relief pilot failed to meet him. The De Haviland plane shown at the top was commonly used as a mail carrier when the flights were inaugurated. It had been built for service in the World war. The tremendous advance made in aviation since that time is shown by the new n United Air Line luxury liner which is pictured below.

Frank Capra seeks realism in his pictures. When Gary Cooper had to protest a decision to a baseball umpire in Meet John Doe, Capra asked Pat Flaherty, former major league pitcher, what players usually say in such a case. Youve never seen it printed, have you? asked Flaherty. Capra shook his head. Then you wouldnt want to use it in the picture, would you? So the protest will just sound like an angry speech by Donald Duck.
