of news to the people The Los
Angeles papers have been carrying an
air mail schedule showing time OF
arrival and departure of the mail
planes and the rates OF postage.
NThe mail service between Los

larger part of the traffic than is
Highway 180.
With these figures accepted as a
basis for conclusion, it is regarded
as a reasonable view that when the
Broadway of America highway pub
licity has been circulated through
the east and south and the flow that
will come from that has been added,
Highway 80 will be carrying the great
bulk of through traffic of foreign
cars and by that fact the city Of
Douglas will share a substantial pat
ronage from that source.
