air schedule the territory between New
York and Columbus, which is known
among pilots as the worst flying coun-
try in America. If one drew a storm
map of the northern part of the West
ern Hemisphere he would find that
nearly all the storm centers merge
over the northern half Of the Allie
ghenies. Through bitter experience
pilots have learned that there is
always some sort of a storm merger
going on in that section. This flight
is eliminated by the rail trip between
New York and Columbus.
OF course, 1t is perfectly safe to
predict that the day will arrive when
bad weather-yes. even fog-will mean
as little in air transport flying as it
does in railroad or steamship opera
ton today. But until that time comes
We must recognize the handicaps con-
fronting us.
The plan outlined for air-mail travel
next Spring may be considered the
first of four stages Of transcontinental
travel which eventually will be at
tanned. This first stage calls for air
travel only in the daytime. The next
stage probably will include both day
and night air travel, with part of the
trip by rail. The third stage will be
all air, day and night travel from
coast to coast, with three or four stops.
The fourth stage will be nonstop air

of the Continent and land on the
other completing the trip in from
18 to 90 hours.

off the train. walk less than 100 yards

sons may wonder if they will be able
to stand the journey by plane. My
answer is. yes. Air-sickneSs, with well
ventilated we'll stabilized planes, Should

The planes. to be put into service
will have either two or three motors.
Each will be manned by two pilots,
carry a steward and will be in con-
stant radio communication with the
ground. In case of mishap the ship
will be able to fly on one or two mo-
tors as easily as it does on two or
three. Should a forced landing be
necessary, the emergency fields will be
available for use.
1t has been demonstrated in transport
!, operation during the last few years that
accidents are very few and that the
planes go through on time. Moreover,
transport pilots know the ground over
which they fly. not only from the air.
but from the ground as well. Take, for
instance the deyelopment of the West
ern Air Express. Thirty days before 1t
began operations its entire flying force
was taken by truck over the 600-mile
route covered by the company's schedule
The pilots studied the territory as field
officers would study the terrain of a
battlefield They learned from first
hand observation the location and
peculiarities of the various emergency
fields. In other words, not a single
phase Of preparation was left out, and

flying.

Mussel Industry.

THE gathering of mussels forms an
important industry in the Mid

the hunter drops it overheard and, as
the boat drifts with the current. the
dredge drags along the bottom OF the
stream. The mussel lies with shell open
and when the prong of a hook strikes
within the opening of the muSsels two
shells. the deluded molluSk. under the
impression that 1t has captured some
thing edible. closes down on the hook
with a viselike grip. After floating 20
or 80 yards the dredge is pulled up and
the remaining dredge is dropped from
the opposite side of the boat. 1t Is not
unusual for fisherman to capture as
many as 100 mussels at single drop
of the dredge.
When the fisherman has as many
muSsels as his boat will conveniently
carry he rows ashore and undertakes
the cooking out" process. The musSelS
are transferred from the boat TO the
tank that holds from 500 to 1000
pounds Here the mussels are boiled for
one hour. a process that looSenS the
meat from the shell. The shells are
placed upon platform, where they are

While the shells form the principal
product of musSels. the fisherman not
infrequently has the luck Of finding a
valuable pearl in his catch. A pearl to

they are irregular in form. but have

An irregularly shaped pearl is called
baroque. A pearl to be of any great
value should be not less than one-eighth
Of an inch in diameter, and in color
should be white, pink, purple, brown or
black.
Frequently. the mussel fisherman
finds pearls Of perfect shape but of a
dull lead color. These are worthless and
are known as dead pearls"
Another product Of the muSsel deserv-
ing mention is the "slug." The slug is
always irregular in form and is COM
posed OF the same matter that goes to
make up the pearl, although It does not
as a baroque. SlugS are employed in
the manufacture of cheap jewelry, and
the price for them ranges from 81 to
Sl.50 an ounce.
Pearls, baroques and slugS are thought
to be formed by the mllsSel as means
OF protection against irritation. A for

finds an entrance between the shells.
This irritates the muSSel. and to protect
itself 1t envelops the offending object

this Journey will leave New York in
the evening by way of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, arrive at Columbus, Ohio, the
next morning; fly from Columbus to
Dodge City, arriving there at night: go
by train from Dodge City TO Las Vegas
and the next morning board a plane
which will land on the Pacific Coast
that night.
This sounds perfectly simple, and
from the passengers standpoint 1t is
But back of this simplicity is a compli-
Gated maze of machinery which 1t has
taken mony and months minds and
men to assemble. Questions of equip
ment had to be solved. The best avail

best available planes. But those planes

made as comfortable as Pullman cars
for the convenience of passengers who
will spend nearly 1,700 miles of the

fueling and inspection, as we'll as to
give passengers an opportunity to
stretch their legs. In addition to these
regular airports there will be emergency
landing fields every 25 miles along the
air routes
Friends of aviation are waiting with
keen interest to see how this first ex-
pertinent in air-train travel will work
out in practice. They are confident
that, from an operating standpoint, it
will be huge success. They know
that the airplane will do its stuff. 1t
has been demonstrated time and again
that aircraft can be run on rigid
schedules. For instance, records show
that all air mail last year was from
80 to 80 per cent on schedule time.
They also show that the delays were
in sections of the country where bad
flying weather prevails.
