That air travel is becoming pop lar is indicated by the number of persons carried during the year 1931 over the 50,000 miles of air routes now in operation. During that year, the ‘'domestic” lines carried 469,981 passengers and ^all American lines carried 522,345. And that, air travel Is destined to record a large increase during he present year is indicated in the fact that the rates have been brought down to suit the conditions of the day. When the air planes started carry ing passengers, the tariff was about 12 cents a mile. The average rate now at'the service of the people is but 6.29 cents a mile, and this brings air travel within reach of the mass of people. This is seven per cent lower than the fare that W'fts in effect at the beginning of the year, and is about half the av erage rate that was In effect Janu ary 1, 1920, The air plane is still going higher and the rates coming lower. Sketch Of Pal Places Friend Back In Prison Pittsburgh.—Two youths sat in a cell In the Western penitentiary and talked of "what used to be." "Maybe you wouldn't believe it " said one with a wistful smile, "but I used to think I'd be an artist, studied art, worked like the devil— and then this happened." And to prove it he sketched a likeness of his cell mate. Today he's sorry, because the sketch brought his pal back behind the bars. Arthur McCleary was the artist. A Lee Phillips posed for the pic ture. And when Phillips was free stgain, he met Rachael Roeso, waitress, and gave the picture to her. Rachael, ill In a hospital, told the next chapter of the story of the picture: “He robbed me of *100, took jew - elry from me and gave me a bad check. I handed the picture over to the police and they had copies made and sent to police in other cities." Identified by the sketch, Phillips was arrested in Cleveland, and re turned to Pittsburgh. He admitted the picture was his. And McCleary, complimented by police on his art, shakes his head. "I practice a lot while I’m in here and sometimes I think my work Is improving," he said. “When I get out, I hope to make my living that way. But believe me, that’s one pic ture I'm sorry I drew.” You can stand anything so long ■ and somethings not that long.

STORE SHELBY, N. C. Man In Rutherford Knows No Depression Charlotte News. The Laurtnburg Exchange tells about a citizen of Its town who drove far Into the woods of Rutherford county one day last week and found a man who dtdn't know anything about the depression and the reas on for his ignorance is suggestive and impressive. This man told his visitor that he j owed nobody, that the had what he needed to supply himself and his family with clothes apd food, that he was not depending upon the gov ernment. to help him make a living or to give him one and that all he knew about hard times was what he heard other folks say and saw in the newspapers. One can analyze that man’s sit uation rnd not only appreciate his personal Independence toward the present economic plight, but find thereto also, by counter approach, the cause of much of the unhappy situation of others. The man who owes no money in ttiese time is in position to look the depression In the face and tell it to go elsewhere, so far as he is con cerned. It is the multiplicity of debts, personal and governmental, that langs about the people ot this coun ry like a body of death and which oot only assisted in the Introduc ion of this mess, but which, also* is making It extremely difficult to lome up out of it.
