New Air Mail Rate Goes Into Effect With Cut Tuesday The new rate for air mail goes into effect tomorrow. It wilt be 10 cents for each half ounce or fra tion, displacing the zone rate. For example, a half-ounce letter for Ban Francisco, postage for which is now 24 cents, that is, 8 cents for each of the three transcon- tinental air mail Zones, under the new rate requires only 10 cents postage. A new 20-cent alr mail stamp has been issued for postage on letters that weigh more than a half ounce, but not over one ounce. The flat rate, postal offi- clals says, will eliminate many complications and will undoubt- edly attract a much larger vol- ume of letters to the air mail. Any malilable matter, except that llable to damage by freezing, up to 50 pounds in welght and not over 84 inches in length and girth combined, may be sent by air mail.
