The cost from London to Paris, he
added, would be just over a dollar per
mile running mi machine each way
and with four machines it would work
out at rs cents. A profitable charge
for passengers would be $25 dollars.
A mail letter of one ounce could be
proftably carried for one cent and
three pound parcel for Is cents. A
passenger could 60 from London to
Marseilles in eight hours instead of
twenty-three, at a cost Of $50 o. mails

Dealing with farther distances he pic

and Vancouver three days.
Lord Cowdray, the chairman Of the

between New York and London in two

the departure voyage Of a t~ransatlan-

mail pouches at postal air stations
between London and the North Of Eng

Mr.. Thomas, who has had large

TO CORRECT MISTAKE S.

The impression has gotten out that
a charge Of Scots is being made to
any one coming to the work rooms of
the Red Cross headquarters to sew.
This is a mistake. Everybody is cor
daily invited to come and sew and be
gladly received free of charge.
A report has also gotten out that 100
pajamas have been rejected at the
New Orleans headquarters. This is
also a mistake, as no shipment has
been made from our headquarters yet.
