Reasons for the abandonment of
the field at Newark by the depart
nent are indicated in a statement by
Mr.. Praeger addressed to Cali Super
intendents of the Air Mail Service"
in which he says:
"The records indicate that if the
field manager had performed the
full share of their duties in getting
the mail planes off within ,l5 minutes

efficiency rating for May for all divi-
sions would have made a wonderful
showing.
Fail to Start on Time.
1.-THE general efficiency performance
on the New York-Washington and New
York-C Cleveland routes was married by
this failure of the Newark field man.
agement. This field failed ten times
to start its plane on time to Wash
ington and ten times to start on time
to Bellefonte.
"This trouble exists to some degree
on other fields. 1t can be eliminated,
or certainly greatly improved, if
planes are promptly inspected, tested
and served in the afternoon before the
flight if the departure of the plane is
scheduled early the following fore
noon. Aside from this single serious
delinquency, the pilots, mechanics and
feld supervisors have cause to feel
roud of the record made during

West More Chesty
Than Eastern States

Washington.-In an effort to
secure better fitting uniforms for
American soldiers, more than
100000 men in the army have
had their measure taken, the
war department announced. The
measurements were said to form
the most comprehensive survey
ever made for tailoring purposes
and will be made available to
the clothing trade.
The survey has shown what
proportion of sizes should be car
ried for troops, according to the
war department, and will enable
reduction in the stock Of sur
plus clothing kept on hand to fill
acquisitions.
Measurements showed that
the biggest chested soldiers
came from western states, while
the smallest chested men were
from the eastern department.

AIR MAIL men
MAKE RECORD
Planes Fly Total of 54,693 Miles
in Month of May, Says
Official Report.
New York-Washington Route Shows
SO Per Cent and Chicago-Omaha
Route the Same-Newark Field
Delays Two Routes.

Washington.-United States mail
planes flew a total of 54,693 miles in
May, according tO the report made
public by Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Praeger. The average of
efficiency on the New York-Washing-
ton route was SO per cent; Cleveland
Chicago, rs per cent and Chicago
Omaha, SO per cent.
Only two forced landings were made
because of mechanical trouble in
either planes or motors. Fifteen 9th
ers were made because of shortage of
gas or oil through combating head
winds, four because of weather and
seven because new pilots got off their
courses.
How Efficiency Is Based.
Efficiency in operation of postal air
planes is based on leaving the fields
within 10 minutes of scheduled time,
on maintaining a speed for 10 miles
an hour for Curtiss R-4s and 80 miles
for DH-4s and Martin bombers, on the
absence or number of forced landings
and on making flights without damage
of any character to engine or plane in
taking-off, landing, taxing or flying.
The rating by fields in May was as
