(New York World-Telegram) Twenty powerful airships started recently over South ern Europe seeking a new record and blazing a new air trade route from London to Melbourne, Australia. In the the near future an American airline will send out its giant “Clipper” flying boats in an attempt to establish a new air passenger and express route from our Pacific Coast to Hawaii and China. This bold pioneering in aviation points to a new era of international commercial rivalry. The trading nations of the world—in the battle for commercial supremacy during the first three centuries following discovery of Amerjpa and a round-the-world route to India—used sailing vessels. To day they are adding speedy carriers of the air and are com peting for trade in those products for which quick delivery more than offsets tariff penalties. But where light traffic goes heavier traffic will follow. Already European aviation interests are building a net work of airlines over the Orient. But Europe’s present ad vantage in Oriental markets will be canceled or modified if the new United States-to-China air line succeeds in clip ping twenty days off the ocean-and-rail New York-Shanghai schedule. America’s new commercial invasion of the Orient is p^mmoted'ln part by the same group of men whose brains amhetttmprise built up in four years an air service which linked the United States with the principal cities of South America, carrying last year 67,132 passengers and 830,430 pounds of express. WEALTH AT ITS WORST It is not often, luckily, that the courts are called upon to handle quite so dreary a mess as that presented recently by the effort of assorted relatives to decide who is to have the custody of little Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt. Here, drawn from the testimony of sworn witnesses, we get another variant on the old, sentimental-romantic story of the “poor little rich girl.” And what a story it is! Heiress to vast wealth though she is, this little girl seems to have had far less happiness than the ordinary child of poor parents get.

Heaven help the re public, if this case gives a fair cross-section of the ways of America’s upper class. SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME j Man’s best friend is his pocketbook, but a pocketbook without money is a sort of poor relation. Have you ever stopped to consider that money spent in a distant city is lost id you forever while money spent at home is an investment that comes back to you in many ways? By spending money at home you will not only improve your own standing and aid in the development of your community. Your town is just what you make it. Civic pride and loyalty have built the great cities of the country just as you can help to build yours. Money spent at home goes to home town banks where it is loaned to home town interests and re invested in home town projects. Money spent elsewhere simply goes to build other communities at the expense of your town. Look over the town. Is there any article of merchan dise you need that is not sold here. Comparison of prices at home with those in other cities will convince you that it is always cheaper to buy right here where you can examine the article and return it if it is not up to specifications. But there is one outstanding difference : The money you spend with the big cfty house is gone, never to return, while the money spent here stays here and helps to promote home town industries and interests. This money will open new avenues of progress and advancement for you and your fellow townsmen. The one sure way to strengthen your own position ana insure increased property valuations at home is to keep your money here. By patronizing home industries and buy ing from home town merchants a bigger and better Nome will result. For your own sake and for the future of your home town, patronize home town institutions. Help make Nome a more prosperous*town. It can be done. . .- v The young Californian who restored a fox terrier to life has done it with another. The Maine G. O.'
