To The People Of The Commonwealth

Our Commonwealth is threat.

disease, which in many cases de-
velops into an extremely fatal
type of pneumonia.
In order to as fully as possible
protect the lives of our people as
wei! as our essential war indus
tries, the Department has issued
an order closing all theaters,
moving picture places, amuse-
ment places, saloons, dance halls,
and all unnecessary public gather
ings; forbidding Unnecessary visit
ing of the sick, and requiring all
funerals no matter what may
have been the cause of death TO
be private.
For the public good, as well as
for your individual safety, the
Depar tment calls upon all good
citizens to help make this order
effective.
Avoid crowds and places fire.
quented by large numbers Of
people: stay at home and do not
use the street cars or trains eX-

Crowded cars afford unusual
facilities for spreading the dis

for those wso must use them in
necessary industries.

New Parcel Post Line.

AS was announced in the News
a few weeks ago, a big Govern
ment mail truck was put on the
road, and daily line established
between McConnellsburg and
Baltimore and Washington, leav-
ing McConnellsburg at 7 o'clock
each morning except Sunday, and
returning, il arrives at McCon-
nellsburg at 5 in the evening.
This experiment, for experiment
it was, proved so satisfactory,
that a second line has been estab-
lished between McConnellsburg
and Pittsburg, leaving McCon-
nellsburg at 6 o'clock in the
morning, and re turning, it reach
es McConnellsburg at 6o'clock in
the evening. Thus, under the
new arrangement, parcel post as
we'll as other mail, comes direct
ly through from Pittsburgh and
Baltimore and Washington in one
day.
This service is growing in pop
ularity as people find out its ad-
vantages; for any farmers wife
along the line can mail package
of butter, eggs, or anything else
that is mailable, if she be at the
road when the truck comes along.
A crate of eggs mailed in Nc
Connellsburg in the morning will
be in Pittsburgh, Baltimore OF
Washington in the evening of the
same day.
Letter mail that recently took
from one to three days to &c
from McConnellsburg to Breeze
wood, Everett and Bedford now
reaches those places in as many
hours.
The McConnellsburg drivers
on the western end, go to Stoyes'
town where they meet the truck
from Pittsburgh, and return Il
McConnellsburg. AS the rounC
trip run is 12S miles, two drivers
are provided, taking alternate
day turns. The drivers are
Chorles Vores and Eugene Ches
nut. The meeting place on thu
eastern end is Gettysburg, ant
the driver, John McLucas, run
every day making a 94-mil,
round trip.

OUR AEROPOSTAL SERVICE
New YOrk.Washirgtm Airplaue Mail
a Complete Success.

A few weeks ago alrplane
mail-service was inaugurated
daily Except Sunday between
Washington, Philadelphia and
New York City. The three hour
schedule calls for a speed Of Is
miles per hour for the entire dis
tance of about 225 miles. While
slight delays occurred during the
first few trips, soon the pilots
learned the route aud they have
since been carrying the mail be-
tween these cities pretty nearly
on schedule time.
The postage rate was at first
fixed at "a cents per ounce, but
was reduced, on July 18th, to
16 cents for the first ounce and 6
cents for each additional ounce.
This being but little more than
the cost of a special delivery let
ter by regular mail and only about
half the cost OF a ten word tele-
gram, and the time required for
delivery being about the same as
a telegram and only about half
that of regular mail, the new
service is steadily increasing)in
popularity and usefulness.
The entire direct and indirect
cost Of this new service per trip
is estimated at SI00 90 as against
possible postage receipts Of about
$500 90 per trip. This makes a
still further reduction in aeropost-
al rates both possible and proba-
BILE. In this connection it is in
teresting to note that the gas
oline consumption is at the rate
of about s., miles per gallon or
but little greater than that of a
large automobile. A gain in such
mileage is assured with the in
creasing efficiency of airplane
motors. Costs will also soon be
decreased by the use of STANDARD
lied repair parts and in various
other ways and there is every
reason to believe that rates for
this new service will eventually
be but little if any higher than
for regular mail.
The project thus far is sue
cess in every way and, as soon
as there is a let-up in the war
requirements for airplanes, aeriaI
mail lines will be rapidly extend.
ed to all parts OF the country.
This will be a great boon fol
rural sections, since packages as
well as first class mail can, by the
use of small parachutes, be deliv,
: cred at almost any point without
the necessity Of making a land
ing. Thus many who live remote
from town and railroad, as well
as those living in our great cities
will probably soon be able t
have the current daily papeI
