TUBES MAY SPEED
MAIL OF A|RPORTS
installation in Larger Cities
Seen as Necessity
of Future.

When the postal service saves I'VE
hours In transportation Of mail b. air
1t cannot waste 40 minutes in getting 1t
from an airport to q post ONCE.
So says W. Irving Glover, Second As
sistant Postmaster General, In charge
of air mail, who believes pneumatic
tubes from airports TO post ofaces are q
necessity of the future.
Although no definite plans have been
made, the matter has been given con-
sideration.
Only for Larger Cities.
. The pneumatic tube system, Mr..
Glover pointed out, would be advantage
GUS only in the larger cities where the
airports are a long distance from the
post office and where trafi1c conditions
accounted for considerable delay in de-
livery, both incoming and outgoing.
Five cities were named by Mr.. Glover
as places In which the pneumatic tube
system would be particularly advan-
tageous in saving much Of the time now
lost. These were New York, Boston,
Chicago, Cincinnati and Los Angeles.
Three of the cities-New York, Chi
cago and Extraordinarily have pneu-
matte tube systems connecting the gen.
eral post office and substations with
railroad stations and steamship docks.
Extension Of System.
Where the tube system already is In
operation the difficulty Of extending 1t
% the airport would not be great. Mail
containers. with mail previously assorted
aboard plane by an air mail clerk, could
be propelled through the high-speed
tubes to the post ONCE In minutes,
COMPARED with 40 to IS minutes by
truck.
Pneumatic tubes between the various
post Office stations have been in opera
ton in New York for many years.
The air mail clerk must come soon,
Mr.. Glover said.
I'VE are ready to put mail clerks into
the air on the long routes" he said,
lust as they are on trains, as soon as
the air mail contractors provide planes
large enough and suitable for the pur-
pose. There must be q compartment
large enough for the clerk to do his
work. This probably could be put in
the tail Of the plane"

BY the Associated Press.
When the Russian plane, Land Of
Soviet, wings over the Pacific on the
first water leg Of q globe -circling flight,
1t will have the aid Of United States
Navy radio stations.
Navy communication officers are
making arrangements to give the plane
journey from Siberia to San Francisco.
From August 20, the day scheduled
for the Pacific take-off, until arrival of
the plane at Dutch Harbor in the
Aleutian Islands, the Navy station on
the tiny island Of st. Paul in the Bering
Sea will handle all communications.
The st. Paul station will broadcast
weather every four hours, using a fire.
quency Of 1855 kilocycles. Prior to the
planes departure these reports will be
intercepted and delivered by the
Siberian station at Petropavlosk.
After the plane leaves Dutch Harbor
the four hourly weather reports will be
broadcast on 500 kilocycles, followed by
messages from the plane, which will
also use 500 kilocycles. The Weather
Bureau at San Francisco will furnish
the general forecast, which will be for
warded via naval circuits and delivered
to the plane by the nearest station. The
latter also will give a report on local
weather.
After leaving Dutch Harbor the plane
will have the services of Navy stations
at Kodiak, Cordova and Sitka, Alaska !;
Tatoosh, Puget Sound and Astoria,
Wash; Eureka and San Francisco,
Calf. Should the plane desire to OBJ
tain radio compass bearings, Is compass
stations on the coast are available.

KANSAS CITY SITE
. OF AIR CONFERENCE
AeronauticaI Chamber Calls
Meeting to Discuss Traffic
Problems Sept. 1918.

The first national air trafIlc confer
ence, to enable air transport operators
to exchange data on the solicitation
and handling of air trafic and thereby
develop air travel, has been called by
the Aeronautical Chamber of Com
merce, to be held in Kansas City,. Sep
tember 1918.
The conference is planned to bring
together for the first time the traffic
executives Of all air transport COM
panies for a common discussion of
trafic problems, including rates, con-
solidated ticket ofices. baggage han
ding, advertising. publicity and allied
subjects.
1.-THE development Of air passenger
travel in the United States has been
so rapid that the executives Of the air
transport companies have had little OPP
portunity to get together for common
solution of their problems" George M.
Lord, Of Western Air Express, chair
man, said today in announcing plans
for the national air trafiic meeting.
I'VE must knit together more closely
the vast system Of passenger air lines
now operated throughout the Western
Hemisphere, and It seems logical that
such a discussion OF our problems,
should be provided through an annual
air traffic conference Of the Aeronau-
teal Chamber Of Commerce air trans
port section"
planes now fly 10000 miles daily
with passengers, mail and express
across al Of the 48 States" Mr.. Lord
said. More than 10000 miles Of es-
tablished airways now link most cities
In the United States with populations
over 100000. Mail planes alone ny
so 900 miles daily In the United States,
northward into Canada and south into
Mexico, Central and South America.
The establishment Of transconti-
mental air-rail service by several trans.
port operators and the development OF
a vast system Of connecting air lines
have boosted the mileage flown daily
with passengers to $4,000 miles, exclu.
sive Of the $4,000 miles flown by mail
planes every a. hours.
1.-THE development Of this vast SyS-
tenn Of air lines has brought multi
tude Of trafnc problems for the solu-
ton Of the air transport operators
The immediate solution Of these prob
lens will stimulate the development OF
air travel and save the operating com.
panies thousands Of dollars" Mr.. Lord
said.
Mr.. Lord was appointed chairman OF
the arrangements committee for the
conference by Frederick 3. Rentschler
president Of the Aeronautical Chamber
of Commerce. The other members OF
the arrangements committee appointed
by Mr.. Rentschler are: j. M. Eaton

John Sullivan, model airplane pilot,
who has been flying his ships In the
District Model Aircraft League con-
tests, has sent in a description Of his
record-breaking helicopter model. John
declares there is no secret about the
building of the plane and says he
hopes some of the other builders will
build one. He recommends the model
highly.
The motor stick, which is "a inches
long. Of balsa u by 6/32 inches, has a
bearing on one end and nose hook on
the other. The props are of balsa ~
by " inches. The prop on the nose
Of the plane is inches long and sup
posed to be very light. It Is jointed
to the nose Of the motor stick and re-
wolves with the stick. The prop is Of
the tractor type.
The other prop is 51a inches long and
should be heavier than the first This
prop is a pusher and is placed on the
end Of the motor stick with the bear
ing. John says the plane should be
flown with 1s-inch nat rubber. The
District record for helicopters made
above is l minute seconds and is
held by Luther Schmidt.
The design for the medal to be
awarded winners in the model air meet
in September, as approved by the Dis
trict Model Aircraft Advisory Board, is
rectangular in shape with an airplane
in flight across the face. It bears the
inscription ID. c. Model Aircraft

Sc STATES ENACT
NEW FLYING LAWS
Chaos Is Avoided in ReguIa-
tions of Licenses, Airports
and Other Phases.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.-With aviation activ-
tiles Of all kinds increasing over the
country Al States considered aero
nautic laws In the 1929 sessions Of
the Legislatures.
Thirty-six enacted such laws, &C.
cording to a surrey announced by the
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce.
Altogether, $50 bills were considered
and 106 enacted. Seventy-one were
aimed at the regulation or licensing Of
pilots and aircraft, 81 were general acts
and IS were special acts authorizing the
maintenance and establishment of air
ports.
The report of the survey was made by
Prof. Harry J. Freeman Of New York
University Law School, head Of the
legal mad legislative research service of
the areoautical chamber.
Unprecedented Activity.
1.-THE survey shows that there has
been unprecedented legislative activity
In this field" Prof. Freeman said
SThat the Legislatures have been prompt
to respond to the general interest In
clearly apparent. Whether these legis-
1ative activities have produced the re-
suits contemplated is question for
future experience to show.
That the separate and individual
activities of Al jurisdictions by Al sep
arate legislative groups did not produce
a more chaotic condition Is something
worthy of remark. In view Of the num-
Der of Jurisdictions, the general effect
of the statutes operating within the re-
spective States has resulted in a uni
formity that must be deemed commend
able.
while the major part of the legisla-
ton has been with reference to the reg
ulation of aircraft and the establish
Inent of airports, there has been man
Hesitation of some legislative activity in
other fields, more particularly in con-
rlection with an attempt to cope with
the new situations which have appeared
with the phenomenal growth Of avia-
ton.
Theories Vary.
Already different theories as to the
proper method of meeting these prob
lens by the enactment of statutes have
appeared and probably are the forerun-
ners Of widely divergent legislative poll
cies.
1.-The proper solution of these prob
lens, which involves the weighing Of the
interests of the general public on one
hand and the encouragement Of the de-
velopment of commercial aviation on
the other, required careful investiga-
ton"
prof Freeman pointed out the need
Of authoritative studies to guide legis-
lation and said the future of aviation
legislation must be regarded with appre-
hension unless an effort is made to
direct the individual efforts Of the sew
eral Legislatures.
He recommended the establishment
Of an authoritative source Of aeronau.
teal information in each State.
