Francisco bound plane from Hadley
Field, N. j., which Is the airport fol
New York.
But because the headquarters Of the
American Railway Express Co. is in
New York. the principal ceremony at.
tending Inauguration was arranged for
Hadley Field, where the starting time
of the first express plane was 1:1s
pm, Eastern daylight time.
This was done In part to permit the
presence at the ceremonies, without
too great loss of time from his other
dent Of the express company. who
dreamed dream of air express many
years ago and who was anxious to
see his dream come true today.

The ceremonies at Hadley Field
were Of a double nature, marking both
Inauguration Of the air express and
the taking over by the National Air
Transport, the air service operated
until today by the Government.
In connection with today's events
officials of both the transport com.

pressed the opinion that the twin hap
penings Of the day put America we'll
ahead of other countries In commercial
aviation.

operated largely by government sub
sidy.
America, on the other hand, Is now
operating, they pointed out, a great
,ystem OF dual mail and express plane.
ind the business Is being run like any
,ther commercial enterprise, standing
on its own financial feet.
Express Co. officials expressed the
belief that the air express would
Justify itself commercially from the
very beginning and would prove a
boon to business wherever time Is
money.
Rates for Service.
The rates for the new express serv.
ice range from Is to IS cents per
quarter pound of not more than SO
cubic inches, according to the distance
the shipment Is sent. There is a
| minimum charge of 81 and extra
charges are made for light and bulky
packages, technically known as bal
loon freight"
Packages cannot be more than 200
pounds in weight, valued at more than
SIS 900. or contain explosives. Live
animals will not be accepted.
On the BostOn-New York line the
only intermediate stop Is at Hartford,
Conn. Cleveland is the only stopping
point between New York and Chicago.
There are seven stops between Chi.
cago and Dallas and ten between Chi

and Los Angeles.

mercial aviation in America advanced
two great strides today, strides which

forefront of all the nations of the
world

also the inauguration of a country
wide system of air express, the express
shipments and the mail to be carried
in the same planes by four privately
owned airplane companies.
Beginning today urgent express
packages may be sent from coast to
coast in 81 hours and from Chicago
to Dallas in less than II. Besides the
main trunk air line from New York
to San Francisco. there will be a
daily plane from Boston through New
York to Chicago and so to Dallas. and
return plane over the same route.
and a connecting line at Salt Lake ply
ing between that city and Los Ange-
les. making connections with planes
of the trunk line.

The air express will be carried in
the same planes which carry the mail

Your Health
How to Keep It,
Causes of Illness
BY DIR. NORRIS FTSHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American
Medical Association of Hygeia,
the Health MAGAZINE

Malaria has practically disap.
peared as one OF the great medical
problems In large cities, but the dis
ease is still to be found in many
rural communities, particularly in
the southern portions of the United
States. DR.. J. Lyell Clarke, one OF
the sanitary engineers of the Illinois
department of public health, finds
much work still necessary to stamp
out the mosquito breeding places
surrounding the villages of the
southern part OF that state.
+ In the hill territory of southern
Illinois there were about three cases
Of malaria for every 100 persons. In
the river valleys and creek bottoms
malaria was found to be highly en-
demic, averaging Is cases for every
100 persons. The worst infection was
always found in the immediate vi
cinity of some lake, pond or marsh
which could be the natural habi-
tat of the malaria mosquito. The
district extended about q mile in
every direction from the pond,
which marked the range of flight of
the mosquitoes.
Country club ponds must be
watched particularly. as these ar
tificial pools have been found fire.
quently to be excellent breeding
places for the mosquito.
The malaria mosquito bites most
frequently at dusk. If it has fed
on sick person and then bites a
well one, the latter Is likely to be
supplied with some malariaI infec-
ton. In summer resorts where the
population is mixed, including peo-
pie coming from all sorts of locali-
ties the chance Of infection is great
er.
One of the means used to destroy
the mosquitoes that carry the ma
laria organisms is to stock all lakes,
ponds and sluggish streams with the
variety Of fish that lives on the
larvae Of the mosquito.
The routine for mosquito con-
troll should include, according to
Clarke, the clearing Of the edges
of the ponds of willows, cattails,
water grasses and floatage. Thus the
bank of the pond Is left sharp and
clean, so that the fish can swim
close to the bank and feed on the
wiggletails.
The fish that has been found to
be most active in feeding on the
m osquito larvae is the little TOP
Gambusia affinis, also called
the pot-bellied minnow. This little
fish swims In the most shallow wat
ers. The Illinois state department of
health is arranging to send supplies
OF these minnows to any village or to
any organization In the state that
wishes to cooperate and will clean
the banks In the manner described.
The draining of small ponds or
marshes and the use of oil sprays
are methods suitable to areas where
it is not necessary to preserve the
pond for decorative or for anluse-
ment purposes.
