AIR MAIL PLANS
SUBMIT

Arguments were heard at the
Postoffice Department today as
to whether Washington is to be
placed on a through transcon-
tinental air-mail route. The argu-
ments were made before the inter
department committee, composed
of representatives of the Post,
office and Commerce Departments.
The hearing was the result OF
two proposals recently submitted
by Southern Skylines, Inc. of
which William Gibbs McAdoo,
former Secretary of the Treasury
under Wilson, is president, and
which called attention to a CLAUSE
of the air-mail act empowering
the Postmaster General to award
air-mail contracts to desirable
companies at so cents a pound
for the first 1000 miles and 6
cents per hundred miles there
after. and offered to carry trans
continental mail at this rate.
A second proposal offered to
carry transcontinental mail at a
flat rates which is about one
fourth of that now paid by the
department for service over the
combination of four lines neces-
sary to secure transcontinental
air mail at a profit, it was said.

one dump close to Orlando there was
approximately 800 truck loads of
fruit dumped every day. The pits
were natural excavations and a con
siderable quantity of oil was poured
INTO the bottom of the pits, highway
dump trucks drove up to the edge
of the pit and dumped their loads.
After the fruit reached the level OF
the ground, dirt and planks were
placed over the fruit and then the
fruit was used as road bed which
extended as fresh fruit dumped into
the pit. There were many thousands
of truck loads of fruit dumped into
this one pit. TO finish up the pits,
oil was poured over the top of the
fruit, to prevent any of the fly mag
gots from gaining freedom.
There were several other arrange
ments to care for destroyed fruit,
one of which was running the fruit
through an ensilage grinder, the
pulp was then run through a steam
tank and thoroughly sterilized be-

WASHINGTON, May 81. U.n)-
Accumulating evidence of interna-
tional anger at the tariff schedules
Of the proposed Hawiey tariff bill
has caused Secretary of State
Stimson to consider means of
hiinging the matter to the atten-
tior of congress.
The bulk of adverse foreign
criticisms reaches the L. s. in the
form of newspaper dispatches
abroad. Some of it comes in conf
Dental reports to Stimson from
American diplomats in foreign
capitals. These latter reports, Stim
son revealed, have been submitted
to President Hoover.
Canadian and Argentine popular
opinion apparently are the most
deeply stirred by the Hawley bill.
American diplomats admit the ser
ious aspects of these unfavorable
reactions, explaining that Canada
Is our best customer and Argentine
among the bigger purchasers of
American exports. Both countries
buy about twice as much from us as
the United States buys from them.
Italy, Cuba, Spain, Great Britain,
Czech -Slovakia and others have
evidenced concern. The fear is ex-
pressed privately by American
diplomats that the United States
will lose from the tariff more for
cign trade than she will gain in
benefits from protection or increas-
ed customs Wvenue.

taking them from the fruit and plac-
ing them in a dry place, would soon
start to Jump. They would do this
by bringing their head and tail ends
together and springing something
like a Mexican jumping bean. In
this way they could propel them
selves at least foot at time.
After cutting into infested fruit
the maggots become very active and
move about rapidly.
Precautions Taken
Each man is issued a light weight
jumper suit. These suits are to be
worn in all groves and are sterilized
twice a day with bichloride of mer-
curry solution. The reason for this
is not only to check cayrying the
fly pupa from place to place, but it
also is check against the spread of
