CANADA AIR MAIL
SPEEDS FORWARD
Rapid and Safe Transporta-
ton Channels Established
for Remote Areas.

OTTAWA, Ontario Cp).-Canada's air
mail has provided rapid and safe chan
nels of postal communication into places
difficult of access.
To the remote mining districts of
Ontario and Manitoba, the scattered
isolated communities on the north
shore of the st. Lawrence River. Anti
cost and the Magdalen Islands, mails
are conveyed swiftly over routes which
otherwise would involve the use OF
canoe, dog-team and other slow and
costly means of transportation.
After Winter closed navigation, fisher
men in the Magdalen Islands formerly
were cut off completely from COM
munication with the mainland. They
now have daily service. The same
situation once prevailed in Seven
Islands and Anticosti Now a regular
service conveys 1900 pounds month.
Besides regular services, special trips
have been made to the coast of James
Bay and into the rich mining areas in
Northern Alberta and British Columbia.
Development of mining districts in the
subarctiv has been in no small degree
due to the air mail.
In the less spectacular fields solid
progress has been achieved During
Albany carried 1886 pounds of mail;
between Montreal and Toronto. l7,34S
pounds. On the Winnipeg Regina
Calgary-Edmonton route 1882 pounds
were carried The latter was a tempo
rary and experimental service looking
toward complete tranS-Canada route.

Just 10 years after the meas his
toric transatlantic flight the designer
of her great hull has resigned from the
Navy to enter civil aeronautics.
Capt. Holden G. Richardson, affec-
tionately known as Captain Dick" by
men and officers of all ranks in the
Navy. will assume new duties as expert
designer for an aircraft corporation in
Cleveland.
His ideas have dominated the design
of a long line Of flying boats and sea-
planes which have been recognized as
superior in that class of aircraft.
The phil, now nearing completion
at the Philadelphia naval aircraft fac
tory. represents the fruits of Capt.
Richardson's last design problem. Its
hull is a development of the famous
NC flying boat hull. which caused world
authorities to shake their heads in de-
spair in 1918 and since has demon
strated its superiority.
Ten years of experimentation with
hull construction has failed to produce
superior to the hull, which since has
been known by the prefix letters of the
transatlantic planes. IN" stood for
Navy" and &C" for "Curtiss," the two
organizations responsible for design and
construction of the planes.
IF we were to build fleet OF planes
for transatlantic service today, they
would be along the same basic lines
that we followed in design of the NC
flying boats" Capt. Richardson says.
With added flying range it would
be possible to fly from Boston to the
Azores and then to England or Por-
tugal as an alternative for the longer
route chosen in 1919, but stops in the
midatlantic still have sound basis in
added safety that cannot be over
looked"

rollment Limited.

BOSTON, LP-Many persons are keen
to learn about aviation by mail.
More than 400 inquiries were received
in less than one month by the univer-
sity. extension Of the Massachusetts,
Department of Education concerning its
course in aeronautics.
OF these 1873 came from residents Of
the Bay State, while residents Of "a
other States, the District of Columbia
and the Island of Haiti joined in max
ing requests.
This course includes topics covered
by the examination given by the United
States Department of Commerce for
mechanics and pilots licenses, and is
designed to be equivalent in content to
the ground school technical training
usually given candidates for pilots and
mechanics positions.
Elementary aeronautics, the engine,
structure and rigging of the airplane,
plane design and transportation are
listed. Only a limited number of en-
rollmentS can be accepted on account
of the tremendous detail involved.

SIX BIG AIR BOATS
TO FLY new ROUTE
New York, Rio and Buenos Aires
Line Is to Use
Amphibians.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.-The largest feet of
flying boats and amphibians ever as
sembled for air transport service will be
used on the projected 8,000-mile inter-
national mail and passenger air service
recently organized as the New YORK,
Rio &c Buenos Aires Lines. Ltd.
This fleet, authorized by the lines
board of directors, will consist of six
consolidated 32-passenger Commodore
flying boats, already in production, and
eight 1O-passenger Sikorsky amphibians,
delivery of the first of which Is ex-
pected soon.
The line, organized by ]. E. Reynolds,
president of Trimotor Safety Anyways,
Inc, will function as the operating con-
Germ under the terms Of 20-year air
mail contract awarded to the Tr1motor
company by the Argentine government.
The passenger transportation time
between New York and Buenos Aires,
the two terminals, will be cut to ap-
proximately one week, according to the
schedule drawn up. The fastest steam
ship schedule now is 81 days.
The giant Commodores, first built for
the United States Navy and known as
the KYP-1. will be especially designed
for the service.

PLAN PACIFIC BASE
FOR DIR|G|BLES.
Congress Asked to Establish
West Coast Port for
Giant Bags.

BY the Associated Press.
Laying plans for the operation Of the
Nays two new giant dirigibles, to be
built in Ohio, Congress has been asked
to establish a lighter-than-air base on
the Pacific Coast.
Extended flights to prove the worth
of airshipS for both military and COM
mercial purposes are planned: The
flights. Navy officials have intimated,
may be made across the Pacific to the
Hawaiian Islands if the West Coast
base is approved. Cost Of the base is
estimated at 100000.
Since the new airshipS are to be as
signed to the feet for tactical duties,
Navy officials say base should be pro-
vided on the West Coast where the ships
would be close to the battle fleet and its
aircraft SquadronS.
Better conditions prevail over the Pa
cific than over the Atlantic, which
would make feasible the operation of
the new dirigibles on regular schedule
between California and the Hawaiian
Islands.
Contact with the American outpost
in the Hawaiian Islands for both COM
mercial and military reasons has been
considered important by the Govern
ment for years.
The present naval air base at San
Diego has been considered by Navy air
officials to be too crowded for success
full operation of aircraft. Two hundred
and forty planes are now operating
with the fleet on maneuvers at sea, and
planes in reserve must be maintained
at shore bases.
Establishment of an adequate air base
at some point on the Pacific Coast, de-
cided upon after a survey of possible
sites, would make possible operation of
both heavier than-air and lighter-than-
air craft from the same base with an
appreciable saving Of funds, Navy OFF,

to Plymouth, England, to receive the
acclaim of an excited world which pre-
