Investigator Finds Lindbergh ‘"Boom" a Colossal Flop Since Lindbergh landed at Le Bourâ€" get there has been an extensive spread of newspaper talk about how he has "boomed" aviation throughout the United States, but J. Herbert Duckâ€" worth has thoroughly investigated the situation and writes his conclusions exploding this aviation propaganda in the August issue of "Plain Talk." "A Frenchman was in Washington last January," relates the writer in "Plain Talk," "and, desiring to go to New York in a hurry on important business, inquired, in his innocence, about air schedules at his hotel. He would have done the same thing under similar cireumstances in any Euroâ€" pean capital. The hotel porter acted as though he had been asked for a time table of the subway to the moon. The puzzled Frenchman needed help. He taxied over to the office of the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics of the Dept. of Commerce. The men in the Air Information Diâ€" vision were obliged to admit that there was no air route operating out of Washington. ‘Cest extrordinaire!‘ exclaimed the Frenchman." Mr. Duckworth reveals that there are no regular air lines carrying pasâ€" sengers from the principal cities of the United States not to mention the capital of the country. Utilizing staâ€" tistics to good advantage he clearly shows that the United States is far behind the European countries in the matter of air transportation of pasâ€" sengers as well as of mail and bagâ€" gage. "Try to take an airplane from New York to Boston," says the "Plain Talk" writer, "and you will discover that there is no regular service beâ€" tween the world‘s largest city and the ‘Hub .of the Universe.‘ In fact, pasâ€" sengers are carried ‘only by special arrangement.‘ From December 1 to April 1, no passengers are carried under any cireumstances." Comparing various sections of this country with similar portions of Eurâ€" open the "Plain Talk" writer conâ€" cludes that "when it comes to passenâ€" gerâ€"carrying _ airlines, the United States, considering her size, wealth and boasted genius, ranks with Persia, nnd, until those really respons ble for her sorry plight shake themselves out o‘ their lethargy, it would be only deâ€" cent of the professional shouters for aviation to softâ€"pedal a bit. Their "There is not one passengerâ€"carryâ€" ing airline in the whole of New Engâ€" land," declares this air investigator in comparing that section of the Unâ€" ited States with Old England. "Planes leave Croyden, a London suburb, daily for all parts of Europe, with connections to North Africa and the Far East. The rates offer competition to the railroads and the channel steamers. One can fly to Paris from the $1,250,000 airport at Croydon (250 miles) for a little under twenty dolâ€" lars. There is not a single passengerâ€" carrying airline running from any point on or near the Atlantic Seaâ€" babble about the United States leadâ€" ing the world in air transportation is ridieulous. board to any point north, south, east or west, with the exception of the dinky little line between Key West and Havana. The only lines in this vast area that are ‘comparable to Western Continental Europe‘ are the Chicagoâ€"St. Paul, the Detroitâ€"Cleveâ€" land and the Clevelandâ€"Buffalo. Every American who has been abroad in the last few years knows that th» whole of Europe is linked up with passengerâ€" carrying airlines from Oslo in the north to Seville in the south, from London in the west to Constartinople in the east, and that one can iravel by air between any of the Europear capitals and between many of the smaller cities just as easily as one can travel by the railroad." Minard‘s Liniment for Blistered Fect. America Ranks Low in Air Service Kelsey himself had much the same idea, but he hadn‘t wanted to say it, Strange, that she should speak so of her sister. But already her thoughts seemed to have turned in another direction. She was gazing again in the gap in the wall. "And Copley, too," added the girl with conviction. "They‘re all three crooks together." Most of the patients, he saw, with their attendant nurses, were clustered over at the side of the lawn, interâ€" esiedly watching the destruction of a wide section of the wall beyond the encircling helgo. "Oh, yes?" But the interest she had shown the day before im the decrepit old man seemed to have waned. Days very seldom go exactly as planned. Bristow hovered about all morning, helping say out the work, consulting books, o:fering suggestions, keeping Kelsey so busy that he did not have a moment to slip away from his desk and look for the girl, and the afternoon was not much better. It was almost five o‘clock before he felt free to leave the office and seek her. "He‘s hand in glove with Bristow," said Kelsey, concluding his sketchy report. "And I have no doubt is just as big a crook." "Oh," she went on in a fervent whisper, "I‘ve prayed that you would come today. I‘ve dared so much on the strength of it. It was so necesâ€" sary that I should see you." "And also, that I should see you," he broke in. "I have news. Bristow kas engaged me to help him in the preparation of some magazine articles. I will be in his office, in a position to know everything that goes on Perâ€" "Also," he went on, "I have found out about Higgins as you asked me ‘"Yes," curtly. "I‘ll draw up a sort of schedule tonight of the subjects to be covered, and have it ready to subâ€" mit to you." He stood looking on with the others, but his eyes were less engagel with the wall than in sifting the group of spectators for a sight of the girl; and he had about made up his mind that she was not present, when he finally saw her sitting on a stone bench a litâ€" tle removed from the rest. He felt the girl start and turn, but he did not glance at her. With his elbow on his crossed knee, chin in hand, he sat watching the demolition of the wall. "I!1," she answered. "She‘s got a sick headache. Another of the nurses is supposed to be looking after me, but she‘s busy now. He did so briefly, explaining the features connerted with it that might inure to their benefit. "I wouldn‘t pull you out of the water if I saw you drowning, or resâ€" cue you from a burning house. But it‘s foolish for a man to cut off his nose to spite his face; and I‘m pretty well fed up on loafing. Perhaps, on the understanding that I take over this work solely for my own diversion and advantage, and not in any sense to aid you, I mightâ€"?" "Put it on any grounds you please," Bristow interrupted with a significant movement of the head. "Shall I exâ€" pect you here tomorrow morning?" Kelsey looked about for the omniâ€" present nurse, but she was nowhere in sight; so he walked boldly over and seated himself on the bench. "Where is Miss Copley?" he asked under his breath. She cast a searching glance about; and then slipped a folded paper from between the sheets of her pad, letting it fall on the seat between them, gcreened by her frock. He dropped his hand over it, and with deft sleightâ€"ofâ€"hand transferred it to his pocket, bringing up in its stead a cigaret. "It‘s safe," he assured her. "And now tell me about your work with Bristow," she said. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. It came at last. Kelsey had been so intent on discovering some underâ€" lying motive in the request, that he had not seen the advantage to himâ€" self. It was a great light, but still he could not dvest himself of doubt. ‘"What‘s your game, Doctor?" he asked bluntly. hapsâ€" . "Wait!" she interrupted.

Jt meant hard work for the man, rather harder work for the woman; and men should not come too old, nor if they had the anxiety of a considerable family.
