GERMAN FLYERS
SiIken Bags to Be Used to
Save Weight on Flight
Across Atlantic.


DESSAT. Germany. August g.
Silken mail bags will he used by the
German postal authorities to carry the
mail which will be transported by two
Junkers airplanes on projected
transatlantic flight to the United
States. The mail will he sewed into
the bags, which will not be of ordinary
material so as to save weight.
The DesSau post office was deluged
today with mail sent for transporta-
ton in the Junkers plane, but at least
half Of this mail carried only the usual
15-pfennig stamp instead OF a special
12-mark fee announced yesterday.
Prof Junkers, one Of whose planes,
the W-33, yesterday shattered the en-
DURANGO record by remaining in the
Air So hours and % minutes, spent the
morning writing numerous letters to
American friends and scientific So
cieties and bodies fostering German
American friendship.
The Junkers transatlantic flyers,
who are preparing for the great hop
today found themselves deluged with
shaving outfits as a result of hu-
morous remark made to newspaper
by Cornelius EdZard
one of the members of the transatlantic
hop. that they would certainly include
shaving utensils, partly because the
daily tonsorial operation would re-
lieve the monotony of the ocean cross
ing and partly because they would
like to look presentable on their ar
rival in America.
