They found in time that airplane delivery was impracticable over comparatively long distances, and that it must in- volve steady night fiying. Take for example the New York-Washington run, the first experiment. Practically, this venture did nothing to speed up business. Few firms finish, sign and mail their first letters of the day much before noon. A letter stamped for the air and mailed in Washington at noon had to be sorted, transported by truck to the flying fleld; flown to New York; again carried by truck to the post office; re- sorted. It could scarcely reach its ad- dressee before closing time. The night trains between New York and Washington run on a five or six hour schedule. A letter posted in the Capl- tal at closing time and carried by railroad usually arrives at & New York office in the first delivery next morning. The same thing is true of letters between New York and Boi ton or Buffalo. On these comparative- Iy short jumps the air mail did not, in practical terms, expedite mail de- livery. Better Rewsults Elsewhere. But as regards more distant points, like New York and Chicago, thers was a different story. A letter mailed in New York at closing time on Mon- day and sent to Chicago by train can- not reach the addressee until the first delivery on Wednesday-—if then. But send mail by airplanes between the two cities at night, and you can “make” the first delivery on Tuesday. In this circumstance the two cities would lie as close to each other by mail as New York to Boston Chicago to St. Louls. However, before trying to link up New York and Chicago, the promoters of the air mail made a more ambi- tious attempt. As soon as they proved that night flying under proper condi- tions was not unduly dangerous they built between New York and San Francisco our first air lane. An over- land air lane is not situated in the air, but on the ground. It consists first of small landing fields, as a pre- cautlon against damage in forced landings. These must lie at short intervals apart—under ideal conditions not more than 20 or 25 miles—and musi be properly lighted. At longer in- tervals are larger fields staffed with mechanics to male injury repairs. On these the relay riders of this spec- tacular pony express land, transfer sacks and hop off. A system of meteorological information more com- plete and special than that which the Government maintains for ground people forms a prime necessity. That is what the modern aviator means by an air lane. Worked Well in Summer. The overland lane was opened a few weeks experimentally and closed while the service made further im- provements, Last Summer, however, the transcontinental air mail began real and permanent operation. When it runs to form it delivers letters be- tween San Francisco ani New York in two days. Ordinary first-class mail takes at best between four and one- half or five days. It worked like a charm all Summer and Autumn When the fierce Winter storms beat on the Sierras and the Rockies things did not go quite so well. Still, these same conditions often delayed the train-borne mail from six to 18 hours. {On an average the air mail has halved the speed of transmission between Atlantic and Paclfic. Already it has become almost a commercial neces- sity. Herbert Hoover testified before the House committee on aircraft that the close link it affords between San rancisco bankers and the New York Clearing House saves our financiers thousands of dollars a week in in- terest. Has In terms of direct expenditure and it paid? balance between revenue, certainly not. It has turned into the department since last Sum- | mer some three-quarters of a million dollars in revenue.

The biggest bombing planes have a lifting power of 4,000 pounds; this may indicate how inadequate the revamped D. H.s are as freight car- riers. Now, New York preparatory to opening the icago line, the air mail e has tested and approved a new and suitable type of plane. It has equal touring speed with that of {the D. H.

This is, I be- lieve, the first purely freight-carrying machine bullt in this country for le- gitimate purposes. 1 have been told, however, that it was anticipated a year or 'two ago by the resourceful bootlegger. The New York-Chicago run s naturally as much more important than the overland run, by just so much as Chicago and its environs are larger and wealthier than those of San Francisco. On its success or fail- ure may depend the future of the frelght carrying by airplane. One's imagination can picture the air lanes of the future—New York-Atlanta Birmingham; New York-St. Louis- Kansac City; Chicago-Denver; Chi- cago-New Orleans; CHicago-Minne- apolis-Seattle; Seattle-Portland-San Francisco-Los Angeles, and so on. Task for Government. However, the Government will have to build the lanes. This is a kind of subsidy. It may prove a better plan than financing companies, as in Eng- land, or paying premiums on each flying hour, as in France. And, ask the aviators, what other form of transportation has ever flourished without Government subsidies? When the railroads extended their lines into the unbroken West we gave them wide tracts of land for their trouble. We maintain lighthouses and coast guards, we dredge harbors, for our ships. The Federal road-building pro- gram is in a sensq a subsidy to the automobile business. If mall can be fransported regu- larly and profitably by air, so can certain forms of light, compact, val- uable freight. Before the congres- slonal committes several officlals of express companles testified that they stood ready to use airplane trans- portation whenever the business should grow steady and permanent. The ploneers of the Government malil service look for the day when express fiying will no lbnger be a Government monoply. Uncle Sam, perhaps agsisted by States and mu- nicipalities, will merely build and maintain the airways. Contracts for carriage of air mail and parcels will be let out to private corporations— just as we proceed with the rail- roads at pregent Some Obstacles Stated. But befors that can happen, there is more ground to break. Aviation. like all new forces of progres: In its early stages outrun both com- mercial customs and laws. You can- not as yet even insure a mail parcel traveling between New York and San Francisco. , The statutes are contradictory or non-existent. For example: Under the common law, a man’'s land title extends ‘clear to Heaven.” . To fly from New York to Chicago with en- tire legality an aviator would need the written permission of 40,000 landholders! We have no system of inspecting planes as we do steam- boats, or of licensing avlators as we do water pilots. Any gypsy fiyer—inexpert, drunk- en or criminal—may now take out a passenger in a ramshackle ma- chine. It is assumed to be nobody's business except his and his patron’s. Until some one tackles the question of commercial aviation as a whole, the business will never achieve that stabllity which attracts capital.

Corigress passed an act at the re- cent session “authorizing” an ap- propriation of $5,000 for the erection of tablets or other forms of me- morials in the city of Quincy, Mass., in memory of John Adamy and John Quincy Adams, former Presidents of the United States. The act provided that the money so “authorized” should be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War. Inquiry In- stituted by Col. Dwight Davis, Acting Secretary of War, disclosed that the money never was actually appropri- ated. Execution of the provisions of the act, therefore, must be delayed, he holds, until Congress specifically appropriates the money “authorized” for the project.
