WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The pro-
sressive spirit of Southern and South
western cities is being manifested in
lne demands OF many of them for aerial
man service. Postmaster General Bur-
ieson has received applications from
more than 125 cities throughout the
country for extension of the present

More than one third of these cities are
in the South and Southwest and in

Prospects are that the demands Of
some of the Southern cities for this
new branch of the mail service soon

partment at present has under consid-
GRAFTON two new routes One would
connect Atlanta with the Washington
and New York service, making direct
route of $50 miles with a flying time
of 10 hours and 40 minutes Such ser
vice would reduce the time of delivery
OF letters from New York in Atlanta
by Is hours and 35 minutes. 1t would
advance the delivery of Eastern let
ters to points beyond Atlanta from ~
10 "a hours. and Southern letters in
the North by the same time.
Memphis as Stop.
Another route being considered is one
TO New Orleans from St. Louis, which
would connect there with the present
service from St Paul and Minneapolis
via Chicago. Stops would be made on
this service at Memphis, Vicksburg and
Cairo, Ill, Memphis would receive de-
liveries of mail from st. Louis and
New orleans the same afternoon it was
dispatched from those cities. St Louis
and New Orleans likewise would re-
ceive deliveries in the afternoon which
