or West To Lay Out
Here; Air Dangers.

E Paso is to be the relay station
for airplanes between San Diego and
san Antonio II the aerial mail route
is put into effect. according to the
understanding in FL Paso. This would
result in shops being maintained here.
also a branch postoffice of the aerial
mail service. The men flying west
from san Antonio would stop here for
rest and to have their planes tuned
up, while others would take their
burden on from here. Going east
ward, the men from the west would
stop here for the same purpose.
FL Paso will be willing TO furnish
sufficient ground for a landing place
and construct a hangar of steel and
sheet metal to cost not more than
$4,000 if the United States postoffice
will designate this city as one Of the
stations in the transcontinental air
plane mail service in contemplation
This is the gist of a letter sent TO
postmaster general Albert s Burle-
son Tuesday by Otis C Coles, presi-
dent of the FL Paso chamber Of com
merce, by Mai. Albert Smith, ranking
officer in the party OF aerial path
finders passing through from San
Diego. to Washington. D. c. Mayor
Charles Davis also signed the letter.
A Big Hangar Here.
Maj Smith explained to Mr.. Coles
and members Of the military commit
tee OF the chamber Of commerce that
such a hangar would accommodate as
many machines Of the type now in
use as would probably be located at
any one time and would also afford
space for a machine shop for repairs
and for postoffice accommodations.
Maj. Smith requested a landing place
little further south than the one
east Of Fort Bliss. where the landing
was made this week. as he and his
associate flyers encountered some air
pockets near the fort because Of theI
proximity OF the mountains
Danger of Air Pockets.
These air pockets occur frequently
in the vicinity of mountains. although
at attitudes they are often encoun-
tered in any locality and they are the
great besetting dangers to the air

Carroll Roman. an FL Pasoan, who !
has been training for a year in aero {
nautics at Kelly field. At san Antonio. I

is the one great danger to an aviator
He may be sailing along perfectly /
smoothly, when he will suddenly en-
counter a pocket and his plane will
make a sheer drop of 200 feet Ia
less he is an experienced man and
watchful. there is danger OF losing
control Of his plane. Such loss OF
control has caused most OF the deaths
in the training camps. Sometimes the

no matter how expert the operator,
and result in a smash. Air pockets
will always be a great danger tot
