The Aerial Post.

IT IS mighty interesting aplanes arriving here
from Fort Worth San Antonio and San Diego, logging
routes for aerial mail service TO be inaugurated by
the postal service.
It takes the minds of pioneers back to the DAYS when
the railroad and the transportation of mail
away from the old Buttereld stages The stages made
high speed-foT four legged drawing power-but they
extremely slow compared with the locomOtivedrawn
trains Now the trains will seem slow as compared with
airplanes flying at 100 miles hour, if way is
found that planes may fly in all kinds of weather and
be reasonably free from the engine failures and acct
dents which cause long delays The airmen who flew here
from Fort Worth made the trip in about II hours. The
trains take about "a hours for it. but with stops
than the amen attempted But the San Antonio and San
Diego armen made slower trips than the trains partly be-
of mechanical troubles and partly because they
stopped overnight along the way.
It is said that specially designed planes will be used for
the mail service possibly machines which will be less SEN
sve to weather condition as well as Of more extensive
carrying capacity.
Probably premium mail service will be inaugurated for
aiTplane transport Likely it viii be letter mail service
taking high rate Of postage Something of that will
be necessary for the carrying capacity of the aplanes will
be limited at best comparable that of the railway
mail cars, and the expense will be considerable
Postmaster general BuTeson is said to intend to inauq
urate aerial mail service in all parts of the country giving
employment to thousands of avators who have been
trained in the past year and providing for the thou
sands of airplanes which have been built.
It will be interesting, little while from now to see an
aeIal postman fly over the village posoffice drop

just it does appear as If the thing would be
huge success but few years ago laughed at the man
who said he could fly all and there were those who
laughed at the steam railroad when first came into ex
istence.
