II CENTS PER MILE
COST OF AIR TRAVEL
Survey of Transport Lines Reveals
Average Charge for Trans
portation of Passengers.

The average charge for passenger air
travel over the regular air transport
lines in the United States is II cents
per mile, according to survey recently
completed by the traffic department of
Boeing Air Transport, operators on the
Pacific Coast and transcontinental air
mail and passenger routes.
1t is possible for an aerial passenger
to travel 1914 miles in this country
over the lines Of air transport compa-
MES operating regular passenger serv-
ices without retracing a mile of the
journey. For nearly $4,000 miles of
travel the passenger would pay $1,427,
or IL cents per mile.
The lowest aerial passenger fare per
mile in this country is 7.6 cents, be-
tween Portland and Seattle, and the
maximum 81 cents per mile for a short
over-the-ocean flight along the Pacific
Coast. The airplane rates include taxi
cab or bus transportation between the
airportS and the business sections of
the cities they serve.

Company Shipless
With Its 2 Ancient
Craft Both Wrecks
TICS and TC-lO, Often
Seen Over Capital, Gone
and Company Stranded.

The 10th Airship Company. at Lang
ley Field, Va, has no atrships.
Due to the failure Of Congress to
make sufficient appropriations to add
new airship and balloon equipment, the
company several years ago found itself
reduced to two ancient airsh1ps-tne
TC-5 and the TC-10-both OF which
have been frequent visitors to this city.
The two TICS were last seen here
together on March 4, when they TOOK
part in the Inauguration day aerial
parade and were caught in the heavy
storm that night. The TC-10 was so
wrenched and weakened by the batter
ing it received that few days later 1t
went "haywire" and sank in CheSa-
peake Bay near its home field.
The TC-5 passed to its reward re-
Gently at LakehurSt, N. j., while on q
Photographic mission. The blimp was
caught in a storm at the Edgewood
Arsenal, Md, and after receiving lot
of punishment from the wind was flown
to the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst.
At Lakehurst. however, the storm
was raging, and it was impossible to
move the ship into the big airship
hangar there. The blimp was taken
up to ride out the storm, and after
nearly four hours was brought down
and another effort was made to get it
into the hangar.
A sudden gust of wind eddying
around the huge hangar doors tore the
craft from the hands of the ground
crew and it was hurled into trees a
mile away on the border of the field.
Capt. l.. F. Stone, the blimps COM
mander, received a fractured elbow;
Capt. r. S. McCullough's back was
wrenched, and one member Of the
ground crew was slightly injured. The
blimp was wrecked beyond hope OF
repair.
And that's why the 10Th Airship
Company has no airships.

AIR EXPRESSL|NES

Service to Other "a States
Not Directly Included
Speeded Materially.

Air express matter now may be sent
over established air lines to "a of the
48 States, or its delivery to any of the
States not directly included on the
present air lines may be materially
expedited, according to a consolidated
air express timetable which has just
been issued.
Air transport is being used regularly
today as means of speeding the move
ment of express shipments in combina-
ton with the existing railway express
service. Air express service is operated
only on designated aerial routes, with
air ports at specified points.
According to the timetable, air ex-
press service is offered between Boston
Hartford, New York and Los Angeles
and San Francisco, making possible
late next-afternoon delivery from New
York to Pacific Coast points. From
the transcontinental line feeder lines
are extended to Pittsburgh. Detroit,
Louisville, K; st. Louis, Minneapolis
and st. Paul: Lincoln, Nebr.; Fort
and Seattle, Wash.
General express traffic of almost
every kind is now handled by air.
Shipments up to $4,000 in value are
accepted and single pieces weighing not
more than 200 pounds also may be sent
by air. Air express Il not used for live
shipments of any kind, nor for ex-

shown to the public for the first time
at the All-American Aircraft Show.
A green light on the planes 1nstru-
ment board flashes a warming to the
pilot when he is $50 feet above any
obstacle which may threaten collision.
Final Warning Given.
At exactly 100 feet a yellow light
flashes a second message to the hyer.
Then, as a final warning, red light
tells him that he is only so feet above
the hazard, whether it Is a mountain,
tree. building or other obstacle.
While flying over mountainous coun-
try the pilot is informed OF his exact
altitude above the ground at all times,
He could avoid unexpected hazards not
registered on the conventional baromet-
ric altimeter, which gives only the
planes height above sea level.
In landing the device is designed tc
provide the fog-blinded flyer with the
information he lacks and needs most
today. He can land with precise knowl-
edge of his altitude at all times as he
heads into a field to which he has been
directed by radio beacon, and watches
his descent with the green, yellow ano
red warning lights.
Computation Of Time.
DR.. E. F. w. Alexanderson, consult

Co, who perfected the device, has
harnessed the signal lights on the
planes instrument board to the radio
echo altimeter, which he first an
nounced last year.

KAISER'S EXILE ENDS AT

The only credentials he might
need would be a German passport,
which he probably does not possess,
but as the former kaiser is a Ger
man citizen the German consul in

fuse him passport.
However, it is most unlikely that
Wilhelm will take advantage of the
new situation
Even the most ardent monarchists
emphasize the improbability of his
return.
Persons closest to him at Doom

the former kaiser would return only
as the kaiser However, that is re-
garded as out of the question.
