postofice department figuring that
speedy delivery made that price fair.
In addition to being carried by air
plane the letter was to be specially
delivered which ordinarily costs ten
cents in addition to letter postage.
Airplane mail service continued on a
paying basis for a time, until the nov
city wore off. Many persons at first
used the airplane mail for its novelty,
and the letters carried were unimpor-
tant, apparently. At any rate, after a
few months, the sale Of airplane stamps
dwindled, as did the mail.
Reduction In Rate.
Then the p~ostoffice department de-
cided to fill the pouches when possible
with ordinary first class letters. This
was continued until July Is, when the
rate for airplane postage was reduced
from fifteen cents to two. 1t is prob
able now that this rate will be con-
tinued, for while the service does not
pay for itself the added facilities in
deliveries are regarded by the post
Office department as worth the price.
When the service was started the
~postoffice department ~co-operated with
the war department, which supplied
the airplanes and the aviators. This
arrangement had been suggested by
the chief ssignal officer Of the army,
who saw in the project an additional
e Of training aviators for the

western front.
Army participation continued until
last November, when it was agreed for
the sake Of efficiency that the entire
project should be taken over by the
postof1ce department.
For this reason the service now ID
entirely In the hands of the postofice
department and the aviators are Of
civilian status However, the pilots
now engaged in the work have come
largely from the army, being officers
discharged from the service at the end
of the war.
The type of airpIane used is the ordf4
nary Curtiss machine, but the post
Office department is preparing and, il
congress provides the funds, will oon
put especially built airplanes at work.
These new airplanes are designed
primarily for carrying mail, stabilized
automatically, 81 that there is no dan-
ger of a crash. In this regard they
will be different from the army type
machine, in which ability to maneuver
rapidly is an element of safety. The
mail airplanes will be designed to carry
a heavy load with safety.

Some Californian friends of mine,
II you know any Californians you
know how much they think of their
state, said that they must admit that
the continual variations of this eli
mate certainly made the days more
interesting and called forth more in
genuity than life on the Pacific slope.

Airplane mail service started on May
10, 1918, largely as an experiment, with
a route between New York city and
Washington. Two trips a day had been
arranged, n in each direction. The
first flight from Washington was a
spectacular affair in which President
Wilson and other officials figured prom

aviator started. Since that time the
service has continued without inter-
