30 HOUR AIR MAIL i. SERVICE PREDICTED
New York City Will Have Transcon tinental Service To the Pacific
 Coast By Next June

Washington, D. O. Oct. 5.--New York city will have transcontlnental air mail service to the Pacific coast In one continuous movement by next June If the plans of post office offi- cials succeed, This would mean de- livery of letters In San. Francisco within thirty hours after being mail- cd in New York
 To make this possible night flying service will be established. For the last four months the department has conducted an intensive series of ex- periments which have reached the stage where Second Assistant Post master General Henderson predicts 1t Is entirely possible to fly with the mail at night
 If we are successful in this" said Mir. Henderson, it will mean that we will be able to make transcontinental flights from New York to San Fran cisco in one continuous movement, flying from New York to Chicago in the daytime, Chicago to Cheyenne at night and from Cheyenne to San Francisco during the early part of the second day. We should be able to establish and maintain a schedule of twenty-eight to thirty hours between New York and San Francisco If this night flying proves out.
 Our plan for night flying" he said, includes an emergency landing field every twenty-five miles, with the pro- per field lights and with a beacon light visible for a distance in excess of twenty-five miles The fields will have two cinder runways to be bor- dered with lights. The planes will be equipped with searchlights. This will permit landing safely at night"
 Mr. Henderson thinks that when the air mail service 'comes into its own" there will be special stamp for this class of service, which will cost from 10 to 15 cents.

It's fairly certain Bill will do one of two
things. He will hop to the telephone and
tell somebody about three books away that
he's "sending a friend around" or he'll
crank up the Ford and take you there
himself. That program is subject to some
variation. For instance, there is said to
be certain Southern city where the truck
farmer who brings your butter and eggs
is accommodating also in the matter Of
liquid refreshments.
Another thing that is fairly certain is
that the man who makes it is much more
of a bootlegger than he is a moonshiner.

for his product would be that it's three
