to start its plane on time to Wash

or certainly greatly improved, If
planes are promptly Inspected, tested
and served in the afternoon before the

scheduled early the following fore
noon. Aside from this single serious
delinquency, the pilots, mechanics and
field supervisors have cause to feel
proud Of the record made during

Washington.-United States mail
planes flew 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 Washing
ton route was SO per cent; Cleveland

Only two forced landings We're 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 70 miles
an hour for Curtiss R-4s and 80 miles
for DH4s 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.
