Rush Work at Bustleton Expected to
Advance Opening Date
From May Is

The first mail airplano operating in
the New York-Philadelphia-W washington
aerial postal service may reach Phila-
delphia before May 3. the tentative
opening date. With work being rushed
on the grading and rolling Of the land
ing site at Bustletou, il is anticipated
that in less than month mail will be
deposited "out of the sky" at the Bus
tletOn hangar and rushed from there
TO the postofilces for distribution i'm the
city.
Philadelphia postonices viii receive
New York mail within two hours from
the time the mail leaves New York or
Washington. Mails will leave the ter
minals at noon each day. II Is eN-
pected that the new schedule will effect
a saving of eight hours a day in mail
deliveries.
Work on the grading of the site and
erection of hangar at Bustleton
presents more difficulty than at any of
the three places included on the new
mail route, II was said. and II Is at this
place that work is being pushed with
the greatest possible speed. With good
weather and favorable working condi-
tions Il is expected that the date Of the

PATRIOTIC BAKERS GET

in Advance of April

CORNMEAL PLENTIFUL
Nations Output Doubles, Making
Possible Reduction in Wheat Flour
Consumption

Philadelphia bakers began today
making bread containing a minimum or
20 per cent substitute -four forestallng
an order Of the Federal food admins
traton to that effect which does not
become operative until April II.
This action by as per cent Of the
bakers Of the city was taken volun-
tarily from patriotic motives, and was
made possible by the fact that there IS
now an abundance Of wheat -four sub
stitutes on the market. Especially IS
this trud as to Cornmeal, the produc-
ton Of which has far exceeded all es-
Inmates.
Figures made public by the food ad-
ministration after a canvass or the
entire country show that the output OF
cornmcal increased from 3,OOO,OOO par
rels in October, 1917. to nearly 6,OOO,OOV
in March. 1918, giving not only an am
pie supply Of this product for use as
substitute for wheat flour, but leaving
"A comfortable surplus In order that
the situation may be fully explained
~ commercial bakers and the general
public the food administration issued
he following statement:
ON view Of this great output, Amerl-
cans are now in a position to observe
total abstinence from Wheat hour anu
dcpcnd wholly on Cornmeal and othef

stuffs our normal consumption OF wheat
nour is 5000. 900 barrels per month.
"It is estimated that during the last
eighteen months the output Of corn
flour has increased 500 per cent. lhe
estimated production Of corn -four for
October and for March is placed az 2'o,-
OOO and $4,000 barrels, respectively
There Is now enough cornmeal be-
ing turned out to care for all demands
i'm the United States. The remarkable
increase in output, which is certain to
become greater each succeeding month";
is due in considerable part to the con-
version Of much wheat-milling machln-
cry into Corn-milling machinery
AS substitutes for wheat Americans
have now not only sufficient corn foods

the use Of wheat until after the next
harvest. but there are also immense
quantities Of potatoes available, as well
as other cereal substitutes such as oats
