WINGS OVER THE PACIFIC.
(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. The whole case might have been design

ed purposely to point the old, hackneyed moral—money
doesn’t necessarily bring happiness.
ar But whatever pity the ordinary newspaper reader feels
for this youngster is apt to be swallowed up in indignation
at the tribe responsible for her plight. 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.
