 Air Mall Time Table.
 A new air mail time table has just been issued by the post office department to the kensington post office. Many routes have been add ed since the last bulletin issued sew eral months ago. The service is growing by leaps and bounds, as evidenced by the fact that few weeks ago 2461 pounds of air mail were carried on one route in one day. as compared with 3l99 pounds carried over the same route in a week one year ago. The service has been vastly improved and the flying time between points shortened. Thus stands out as fact Of great import ance. since it is estimated by the American Air Mail Transport asso- citation that S24,000,o00 in checks, drafts and interest bearing securi- ties are being flown across the coun- try once every "4 hours by the air mail.
 Although the use of the air mail is increasing steadily at the Ken sington post office, it is believed that more citizens would do 50 If they realized that for cents they could mail a letter at 3 o'clock in the aft ernoon and it would be delivered in Miami in less than 12 hours: Hous- ton, Texas. at 6:30 on the evening of the next day, and San Francisco in about 37 flying hours. The train time for fast mail is four days Air mall deposited at the kensington post office before the mail closes in the afternoon will connect with the mail plane taking off from Hart ford at 7:35 p. m. for all flying points west and south.
