Aero Mail Service
Baltimore America.

DalClmOre America.
The postoffice department re-
Gently invited bids for carrying
the mail over eight propose d
aerial routes. Seven Of these
contemplated routes are in Alas
ka and one is between d coastal
city of Massachusetts, and an is.
land that lies off the coast. For
seven of these proposed aerial
mail lines there were no bids,
and only one bid for the service
between Seward, the southern
port of Alaska, and Idltarod,
which is $50 miles inland. There
are several quite apparent reas-
ons why there has been no grand
rush to secure these air line con-
tracts.
For one thing, the compare
lively few concerns in this coun-
try which are engaged in the
manufacture Of aeroplanes and
which ordinarily might be eX-
pected to be concerned i'm
government contracts for air line
mail service, are loaded up
with orders for producing mill
tary machines. In addition to
foreign orders 1T seems that the
United States government has
recently placed large contracts
for aeroplanes. This explains
why there Is lack of availa bic
machines for mail route service.
Another reason for the absence
OF bids on the proposed air lines
is the scarcity of trained await
Ors.
In time, perhaps by tie end
of another year, we shall have
the machines for the service, the
trained air pilots and then tie
air line mail routes, In Phlla-
delpha last week school of avi-
ation was formally opened with
% enrolled students. There
should be such school in every
large city. The danger element
in aeroplane flight has been
greatly lessened during the last
20 months, and though aero
nauts are not likely 60 be as
numerous as automobile chauf-
feurs for some time, yet the air
craftsmen Will gradually multi
ply. 1t is very highly paid
service.

No Fihh-No Flies!

Flies and filth go together. No filth,
no flies! About the only good thing
you can say about the fly is that his
presence should stimulate you to hunt
up the place where he was born and
destroy 1t so that it may breed no
more OF his kind.
Fly swatting may be a popular pas
time. 1t has been talked about much.
So far, it has proved ineffective. The
well.meaning person, applying the
swatter at every opportunity. kills one
fly at a time. The removal of the con-
tents Of single manure box will swat
millions Of them at blow.
Screens and swatters are good
thing, but clean neighborhood is the
best. Get busy!
