Mail Route Makers Expected
Here Late Today.
Were To Leave Kansas City
Late This Afternoon.

Kansas City, Dec. 20.-Lieutenants
Starr and Marlborough and Civilian In
structor La Grone. flying from Scott
field, Belleville, ILL.,, to points in Kan
sas and Oklahoma, for the purpose of
mapping air-mai1 routes were delayed
here today by weather conditions and
the need of minor repairs on their
machines. 1t was expected that the
aviators would resume their flight late
this afternoon. Topeka is the next
scheduled stop.
The planes which the despatch in
dicates will land in Topeka this after
noon, are the pioneers of the air mail
service. The men in the planes arc
officially sent out by the postoffice de-
partment to survey the air lanes in
anticipation of the beginning of a great
transcontinental aerial mail route. 1t
is probable that the machines will
land at Washburn field. No definite
arrangements have been made by any
orga nization in the city to give the
aviatprs a reception in keeping with
the importance of their mission, in
tspite of the fact thaE unofficial reports
have stated that Topeka is the only
contemplated stop in the proposed air
mail route between Kansas City and
Denver.

SEES END OF GROCERY
I. C. C. hears Prediction on Control
by the Packers OF Food Industry.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Competitive
wholesale and retail grocery stores
will be wiped out within a decade II
present tendencies continue. Chairman
Colver Of the federal trade commis-
sion declared before the house inter-
state commerce committee today.
"It does not require any great inn
agination to foresee that the whole-
sale grocery business on a competi-
tive basis will disappear in five or six
years and in ten or twelve years. also.
retail grocers, as individuals, will dis
appear ana be supplanted by great
chain stores," Colver said.
Colver asserted the consumer pays
more and the producer gets less, due
to control of the packing industry by
big concerns. Interests dominating the
packing industry are rapidly gaining
control of the Alaskan salmon indus
try, Colver said. They are now in q
position to largely control prices OF
this important food, he believes.
''The meat packing industry itself,
is free to grow as big as it cam" said
