True to this prediction. I. M. M. eventually, in 1926, was glad to sell the White Star Line back to British interests, represented by the then potent Royal Mail combination. Thereby I. M. M. lost all its biggest ships?Majestic, Olympic, Homeric?and retained only its minor units such as Atlantic Transport. But the same year that this great tonnage passed from U. S. control, another development was taking place in U.S. shipping...
...manifold advantages of this mail-order system are obvious. The horrible possibility of a maladjusted life is obliterated, for the student can continue those activities in the business world that he pursued as an undergraduate. For instance, barnstorming evangelists could do no better than employ a cheer-leader to harangue multitudes into a state of grace. And those who had centered their interest around debating clubs could, as a last resort, accept positions as radio announcers. Nor should those who spent four years being strenuously social feel slighted, for there is a growing demand for accomplished entertainers...
Quick Trip. With seven passengers and 900 lb. of mail, a Ford trimotor of National Air Transport rode a stiff tail wind from Chicago to New York one day last week, made the 20-hr. rail trip in 4 hr. 16 min. of flight.

To get practice, Pan American Airways this week was to begin flying passengers over water between Miami and Cristobal, Canal Zone, instead of via the old circuitous routes along the Central American coast. Pan American began four weeks ago to fly its mail over the new short-cut in consolidated Commodore flying boats. Although the ships have a 20-passenger capacity, the quota is limited to eight on the new service, to allow ample fuel load for the water-jump from Jamaica to the Canal-longest water-jump on any sched uled airline...
Tree. Flying the mail between Salt Lake City and Pasco, Wash., for Varney Air Lines, Pilot Jack O'Brien passes over a tiny settlement in the treeless desert near the Idaho-Utah boundary. Always a group of children and their teacher run out from the schoolhouse to wave at their "friend"; always Pilot O'Brien waggles his wings in salute. Last week, to the joy and amazement of the youngsters, Pilot O'Brien circled the schoolhouse at low altitude, dropped a tree, flew on. Looking back, he could see the children seize it, drag it toward...
