sion that our airplane industry Is hold
Ing Its own with the rest of the world
and that the air mail service of the
United States is the only one In oper-
alton.
To-day 1t is the boast of the air mail
service of the post Office department
Of the United States that we have
eight airplanes in the air daily, cover
ing total of 1905 miles of territory
and carrying an aggregate Of 2,100
pounds of mail.
Compare this with the information
contained in an official report from
London detailing the status of the air
plane postal service in Great Britain
at the close of the month of Septem-
Der, 1919. This report discloses that
"a government airplanes were trans
porting mails daily from one part of
the country to another, the latest
routes including Bristol, Birmingham,
Newcastle, Manchester and Glasgow;
also that multiple motor Handley Page
airplanes were carrying 1.400 pounds
of letter mail to Brussels for forward.

Cambridge, Mass.-The Harvard col

to Acting Director S. I. Bailey, who
said that every two weeks a photo
graphic study of the Milky Way was
made and the new stars eharted. Since
this work was undertaken several
years ago, he added, eighteen new
stars had been discovered.

for the transcontlnental service wher
1t Is installed. Heretofore the only
argument against the aerial mail plane
was that railroads were more depend
able than flying machines for long
hauls. that planes could not make
transcontinental or long cross-country
flights with surety Of success be
cause the weather might either delay
the start or force a landing on unde-
slrable ground.
There was much In that argument
until the wireless was called into play
In behalf of the air mail plane"
Cut Down the Time.
Air service across the continent from
New York to San Francisco will cut
down the time Of transmission Of mall
by almost two days, according to Mr..
Braeger. He says:
"rhe proposed transcontinental air
mail from New York to San Francisco
is the result Of our inability TO get the
railroads to give the Pacific coast
cities, notably Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco and Seattle, an efficient mail
service. A letter mailed In New York
and making all connections takes 90
hours to reach San Francisco.
IF you write letter Monday It will
leave New York at $40 o'clock that
night, and If the trains are on time
will arrive In San Francisco at 10 80
o'clock Friday afternoon. During rs
days in October the mail reached San
Francisco on schedule only five times.
When the trains were as much as an
hour late. the mall was not delivered
until Saturday morning.
"By the air mail route letters writ
ten Monday would leave New York
Tuesday morning, arrived in Omaha.
Neb, that afternoon m great planes
OF the type which are now being com.
pleted for the mail service; arrive at
Battle Mountain, New, on Wednesday
afternoon and be in the San Francisco
post office by O'Clock Thursday MORN
ing; In fact, delivered almost two days
ahead of the mail sent overland by
train.
This route, If congress permits the
carrying out Of present plans, will be
operated by multimotored planes car
rying ton of mail from New York to
Omaha, and then onto the Coast by
planes carrying 1900 pounds over the
Rockies.
THE West has been aroused In
favor of this service, but what con-
gress will do in the matter remains to
be seen. The trouble with aviation In
America is lack of vision and ignor-
ance Of the problems that confront
manufacturers. Until the national
obtains a clearer grasp OF
this subject the United States will
steadily slip back while Europe goes
In Death Struggle.
Sew of us apparently realize to-
day that the American airplane indus
try is In death struggle for existence.

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

The voyage of Columbus across
the Atlantic resulted in a devel-
opment of marine travelling to-
wards the western continents

turous trip. So, 1t will be noted
in future time, that from 1t.
Commander Reeds one-stop trip
from New Foundland to Portugal
be recognized as the torerunner
of azgosies of aerial sails, or
wings, to follow the nomencla.
ture of the air.
The flight of the NC-4 was
remarkable in more ways than
one. On May s it left Rocka-
way, Long Island, but was
forced to land off the Massachu-
sets coast, but reached Halifax
on May Ia. The next day. it
journeyed from Halifax to Ire
passey Bay, N. F., 400 miles,
and on May 1917 went from
Trepassy to Horta. in the Azores,
1850 miles, in about fifteen hours.
On May 20 Il went to Ponta
Delgada. sanother island, some
miles further eastward. On
May II it went the remaining
300 miles to Lisbon. Portugal,
and completed the first aerial
trip from America to Europe
under It's own power.
The fight across the Atlantic
recalls an effort OF Vaniman CT
in 1910, who set out for Europe
In dirigible, which was wrecked
by a storm two days out at sea.
He was rescued, and in 1919
started from Akron, Ohio on q
second voyage, but an explosion
in midair resulted in his death.
A Frenchman, within recent
weeks, set out for an Atlantic
fight, but was forced to land In
Africa Che was going to Brazil,
altho he covered more miles than
Reed did in any single flight.
