I bôught a round-trip ticket by air to Washington, D. C., for $72. The railroad fare incîuding sleeper and meals would have been a f ew dollars more.

Because of the great patronage, on the Chicago-New York *route via the United Air lines, the service and planes on the: United Air lunes are 'better than, conniecting * ines. -Smoother Than by Train Trhere are two pilots on the United, Air line planes.and the passengers are ser ved meals in the air without cost. I have found writing and reading in -the planes casier than on the trains. Most of the time, the a ir is smooth and the te is less jostling than on the trains. Gov. Roosevelt wrote his speech more coin- *fortably in the air than lie woul~d have on the rails. Incidentally, Gov. Roose- velt's plane reached Cleveland just before our plane left that port forý Chicago. Great surging crowds met the governor at Cleveland. Our plane reached Chicago the same-time as the governor. The newspaper accounts of the surginig crowds around the Chicago port to sec the governor were no exag- geration. The police had to assist the regular passengers to get through the crowds to. the taxis and the taxis had to go* to the loop in a roundabout way to avoid the congested trafflc on the main road to the airport.. If you are unable to get to your destination on schedule, it is because the pilot will not take off under bad fiying conditions. I wanted to be in Washington to attend, an evening meet- ing, but the. plane 'would'not take off f rom: Cleveland, so I had to wait and take a niglit train f rom Cleveland to Washington arriving there in the morn-, ing. It is interesting to hear the plane dispatchers at the airport talking to the *planes by radio, several hundred miles away. The pilot is told how lie can go abave or lw o rda,. strm 2rez (Mathew FPrancls Photo p l1ilmcette's littie tots fori/iy, latinched their summer.fla3,%gtound season à' Vaitiai Parierecetil by .holdin a Pittiesqute parade.
