rp,A, MAIL ROUTE SOON TO BE
MAPPED OUT BY v. ..
MILITARY AvlATORS.
Woodrow Wilson Aerial Highway Ex'
tends From San Diego, CAL, TO
New York and includes Pr'n.
cital Intermountain Cities.

Charting of the Woodrow Wilson air
way by United States military avia'
tors will be undertaken about Janu'
ary l, according to word received mere
from the department of military aero
nautics.
The neal ss,t,ep in the charting OF the
transcontinental airways will be taken
by San Diego airmen next week wheh
they will fly to Needles and return.
This will complete the mapping OF
Arizona and California. The airmen
will then swing into Utah, Nevada
and Wyoming with the main operating
base at Salt Lake City.
Colonel Harvey Burwell, commander
of Rockwell field, said today that the
airmen who will fly to Needles and
then carry on the air mapping work
in Utah have not yet been selected. 1t
is believed that Major Albert Smith,
who is now en- route to the Atlantic on
an air mapping tour, will be selected
for the Utah, Wyoming and Nevada
work because of his experience and
skill.
According to Major Theodore Mac
Cauley, it will be necessary for aerial
mail carriers engaged in transcontin'
entail flights to leave many cities either
+! lust before sunrise or few minutes
| after sunset. MacCauley found on his
recent flights to San Diego from Fort
| Worth, Tex, that swirling air currents
invariably are found between 5 and
s a. m. and 2 and p. m. over cities
that are located in great valleys or ut
the base of high foothills or noun
tains. These currents are caused by
the warm air in the valleys lifting and
the downward rush of cold air from
the mountains to take the place Of the
warm air. At one period during his re-
cent flight MacCauley was held alb
solutely stationary at height of 5000
feet for thirty minutes by blast OF
cold air rushing down into the Imperial
valley from the Jacumba mountains
MacCauley had similar experience
near Wellton, Ariz.
The Woodrow Wilson aerial highway
extends from San Diego to San Fran
cisco, thence to Rena, Salt Lack City
Ogden, Kansas City, Chicago and New
York. 1t is understood that this will
be the first cloud line limited mai
service to be put in operation. Air
men estimate that it will be necessar!
to maintain an altitude of 10000 fee
