BIDS ASKED FOR
 AERIAL MAIL SERVICE
To Isolated Points in Alaska and
 Massachusetts.

Washington, Feb. 13-Aerial mail service to isolated points in Alaska and Massachusetts is contemplated by the post office department. Bids were asked for service on eight routes seven of them in Alaska. October is named as the date for their start ing.
 The routes will be established, the department announced, as much to stimulate development of aviation be- cause of its relation to military pre- parednes5 as to improve the mail ser vice. The department believes that efforts already begun to finance an ae- rial patrol of the Atlantic coast indi- cate that ready capital will be found for the mail service undertakings.
 If the service is successful, it is an- nounced, a gradual expansion will fol- low to other routes where transporta- tion is slow and inadequate.
 The Massachusetts route is from New Bedford to Nantucket, 56 miles and return, partly by land and partly by water. Trips would be made 12 times a week during the summer months and six times in the winter. An aeroplane would have to be able to carry a weight limit of three thou sand pounds. The present cost of the service Is $23, ,0O0 a year.
