THE LINCOLN EVENING JOURNAL, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, J929. FVFN AIRWAYS DO AN One Company Has a Record for 1928 Exceeding That of the United States Two Years Ago. BY F. I A I (Copjriilit, IKt. by X.

Canada's development in aircraft is proceeding at a pace probably exceeding that of the United States. One company alone, the Western Canada Airways, with headquarters in Winnipeg and branches thruout Canada as far west as Vancouver has a record for 1928 of having Mown 545,000 miles, and 6,870 hours during the year, with twenty-eight planes, carrying 1,192,000 pounds of freight, and express. 122,170 pounds or mail, and 9,647 passengers. That record exceeds the passenger of the entire United States two years ago. The government has interested itself in aviation, and co-operates in the development of flying clubs.

Today Canada has sixteen flying clubs i a total membership of 2,400. Toronto Club in Lead The Toronto Flying club leads the Dominion with a membership of more than 250; Winnipeg is second, and Montreal third'. The government grants to each of these clubs two machines, when a club has at least thirty members. The members provide a field, an instructor and maintenance, and agree to put up a bond for the equipment given by the government. Each year toe government agrees to give one additional plane to the club, if the club itself will agree to provide one from Its own membership.

In 1927 there were but forty commercial pilots registered in the entire Dominion. At the end of last year 193 commercial pilots held licenses, but in addition, to this can be added fifty who have allowed their licenses to lapse during the winter months. Italy Buys Heavily Italy will need all of the resourcefulness of Mussolini to enable her to set her international balance sheet in order. It is 'both trite and true to say that no nation can go on indefinitely buying more goods 1'rom the world than it sells to the world, Mussolini or no Mussolini. There is a basic economic fact in international trade.

The figures on Italian trade for 192S, just published in Paris, show that Italy bought $400,000,000 more goods outside her boundaries than she sold. Somewhere, some place, some time, she must make up this deficit. It is a big-one, larger even, after allowing for changes in prices or-depreciation of gold, than in any of the preceding'six or for that matter, for the four preceding pre-war Central Bank Wanted Some Minnesota legislators want a central bank of Minnesota to serve as a reserve bank and clearing house for all state banks. Leaders of this movement believe it would decrease bank failures and put state banks in a position to compete on more equal terms with the national banks which are now being served ythe federal reserve system. Such a more has really the support of a large number of country bankers who see a menace in the growing power of centralized banking.

Under such "an arrangement every one of Minnesota's 801 state banks would be required to purchase stock in" the central bank equivalent to 5 percent of their paid up'capital stock. The legal reserves would then be deposited with the central bank and directors would be elected by them. The! central bank would have authority to lend money to such a bank on i long time loans at a low rale of interest, and supervise such a member until it returned to normal. China Building Roads China, in spite of her revolutions and internal troubles, is using thousands upon thousands of her citizens to build her immense new system of national highways. Dr.

David Z. T. Yui. secretary of the national committee of the Y. M.

"Read our history of 5.000 years of peaceful culture." says William Hung, exchange professor at Harvard, who believes world peace will come thru close co-operation of China and the United Slates, "book iiir of our millions--hon- human. good-humored, desiring peace, and friendship above all other thinps.

Baby George Minas of New York is six weeks old and only weighs two and a half pounds, but he is i alive and kicking nothwithstand- ing. Feb. 8 he came into the world with exactly fourteen ounces of weight to his credit. Nobody thought that he could live. Nobody could be prouder of his offspring than the father.

Belles Minas, a tall, dark, strong-looking Greek waiter, has only been in this country a year, and the mother, Irene, whose buxom vigor and overflowing health augur well for the future of her child. Then there is the older brother, Pete, four years old, a trifle awestruck and afraid of his rival. Work's Pointers on Auction Bridge CONTRACT I One of the most disputed of Contract questions is whether an original two No Trumps ever should be bid without a sure stopper in each one of the four suits. Many authorities insist that every suit should be stopped; some go so far as to require two stoppers in three of the four suits. Others, in addition to demanding that every suit be stopped, insist upon an ace or a King at the head of each I think all of these restrictions are too severe, one never knows when the type of hand will turn up which demands a bid that such stringent regulations would bar.

None can gainsay that -there is a real risk in bidding two No Trumps when one" suit is unprotected. It is conceded that a to jump his partner from two No Trumps to three; and when that little happens to be all in the three suits held by the original bidder three No Trumps may bring disaster. On the other hand, when an original bidder has a count of 19 or-more, it needs -very little "from his partner to assure three No Trumps; and the stronger the original bidder is in three suits, the more chance there is that his fourth. Take this example: I-X-X-X NORTH SOUTH Q-J-lg-X 4Q-IO South (Dealer) has a count of 19 --two more than enough for a bid of two No Trumps--but with only three suits stopped. If South should bid only one no trump, north would not be warranted In jumping! to two with a count of less than and yet the probability is that game could be made with the of a North hand counting 6, 7 or 8.

Consequently, despite the risk in bidding two No Trumps with a defenseless suit, to refrain from doing so with hands which count 19 or more, and in which the defenseless suit is longer or stronger than a weak doubleton. in the long run will probably cost more in lost opportunities, than it will in penalties caused by the bid. (CopyriRht) employment of some local men, and they volunteered the information that they knew about an effort on the part of L. C. Doke to collect the Lambert claim.

Probing a little farther one partner of Doke offered to tell all if he were given $5,000, and another one asked for $2,000, saying that the risk he ran of being killed by Doke was worth-it. By this time the Aetna, which carried two policies, had joined in the investigation and a detective and his wife, posing as automobile tourists with nothing to do got the whole story from a filling station man, a partner of Doke. The matter was turned over to the postoffice inspectors, and they caused the' arrest. This was not until after the Modern Woodman had paid $5,000 on a ijolicy and the Liberty Life Assurance company of Birmingham had paid $10,000. Lambert also carried war risk insurance, but it is not known if a collection was made on this.

Doke is described by the detectives' reports as the bully of that section, a giant of a man who argued with his fists and had nearly everybody cowed. Some of those they talked with said that he was the good Samaritan of that region, taking in diseased and sick men, who were without friends, and caring for them till- they died. Lambert was in his house for over a year, doing ho work but well supplied "Another case is related of a war veteran who willed his $10,000 government policy, which Doke caused to be reinstated, -to a bedridden man, and the latter, when he demanded his money, found that Doke had got most of the money from the administrator on claims against the estate. He got a part of it in a. suit.

Mrs. Ben Doke, who posed as the widowed beneficiary, proved to''be very illusive- She called up local insurance men about the policies but they were never able to interview her. A totary public who took her acknowledgment to a claim as'Mrs. i Lambert, said he had not seen her but took L. C.

Doke'3 word for it that she had signed it. Doke explained that the Lamberts did not live together, and excused her ab- sance from the funeral by saying she was sick in a Tulsa hospital. Detectives said they could find no reCord of her in any hospital. CII a fi DRAMATICS CONTEST HELD Tn-County Meet at Red Cloud High School Auditorium. nsm cmrn.
