 Under present laws it has un- dertaken to foster merchant ma- rine and to pioneer in air trans portation.
 In common with most large countries, the United States Sub- sidizes it's merchant marine, and in this country governmental aid has taken the form of liberal terms for transportation of international mails.
 Net Paid by Weight
 These ocean mail contracts, let under the merchant marine act of 1928, are now under fire, along with airmail contracts already an- nulled as a result of a Senate committee investigation.
 This law authorizes rates not ex- ceeding $1.50 a mile of outbound voyage for mail on seventh class vessels, or SIP a mile on vessels of first class, with a sliding scale for intermediate class vessels, re- gardless of whether one bag or one ton of mail is carried on the trip.
 Under the system the post of flee department has paid to ocean mail carriers during the five fis- cal years since enactment of the law a total of $89 ,646,364. On a weight. basis the carriers would have received $12,935 ,546, accord ing to department calculations.
 Ships Must Be American
 Last year the contractors re- ceived $26,O00.0OO, compared with $3,OOO,oOO they would have receiv- ed if paid on a weight basis.
 In one case an ocean carrier would have received sl0.40 for mail on a weight basis, but received $211 ,985 under it's contract.
 However, creation of a merchant marine, augmenting national de- fense and extending the American flag on the high seas were other purposes of the act.
 The law provides contracts can be awarded only to the lowest re- sponsible bidder, who must be an American citizen. Ships used must be either American built or Of American registry prior to 1928, and during the term of the con- tract.
 Building Specifications Set
 The ships must be officered by American citizens and manned by a crew of which half are Ameri- cans for the first four years Of the contract. For the next SIX years of the contract, the crew must be two-thirds American.
 The law also requires the ships be built according to specifications approved by the Secretary Of the Navy, or otherwise be suited for prompt and economical conversion into auxiliary naval vessels.
 The Postmaster General in hls contract can stipulate that a cer- tain number of new vessels be built or old ones reconditioned, Under such conditions 54 new yes sels are required in the 43 con tracts now in force, 12 others are conditionally required and 61 old ships are required to be recon structed. By last July, 32 of the new ships had been built and 40

 IN KITE FLYING
Precautions Listed Before Indulging in Spring
 Sport

Kite flying, the healthful out door sport of childhood, may re suit in injury and even death un- less it is practiced in the proper places and with 8 generous amount of precaution, officials oi the light and power companies In Connecticut warned today.
 The danger lies in the fact that kites or the strings to which they are attached may easily come into contact with or become entangled with electrical wires. Parents should guard their children against this and make certain, if they in dulge in the sport of kite flying that it is done in places free from danger and with equipment that will not subject them to electrical shocks.
 If the following suggestions are observed, there is little danger for the young enthusiasts:
 Do not fly your kite near elec- trio, telephone or trolley wires.
 Do not use wire or tinsel twine of any sort-use cotton string and don't forget that even cotton string when wet, becomes 8 conductor Of electricity and will cause as much damage as wire if brought into contact with electric wires.
 Do not use a kite with metal ribs.
 Do not attempt to climb poles or knock down wire entangled kites with stone; and
 Do not let your kite go over radio aerials.
