Of the service and decrease rates
while statistics are hardly dry on the
last figures, air express representa-
tives say. Between New York and
Chicago, where more express is prob
ably flown than between any other two
cities in the world, there are A regu-
larly scheduled flights daily by three
major airlines. Indeed. there aren't
any slow freights in the air. The
freight always rides with passengers.
In the early days of air express most
concerns didn't bother with the air
transportation except for small ship
ments flying long distances. Today
the long haul is well established and
the trend is for packages to grow
larger and for the public to utilize air
transport for shorter and shorter
hauls as same-day delivery becomes
a new phase in the shipping business.
For example, many automotive ship
ments are flown only a few hundred
miles, but they are said to save sub
stantial sums of money by being on
the assembly belt within few hours
after leaving the shippers factory.

Experiments in air express were
made as long ago as 1919, when one
Of the old-time Handley Page planes
took off from Long Island for Chicago
carrying heavy load and was forced
down in Pennsylvania. No time was
saved on this maneuver. From that
time until the earliest days of trans
port aviation air express shipments
were limited to life and death sort of
matters, although the aerial shipping
concern stood ready to contract with
the airlines to carry their express as
soon as these lines, developing pas
senger business, were equipped to offer
fast and reliable service. In 1923, the
first full year of operation, the infant
industry carried 80 tons Of freight by
air, and last year the figure had moved
up to 1856 tons. In the first six
months Of this year 285,349 shipments
were made, weighing 979 tons.

staging in America with the use of a
revolving stage. 1t is being used by
Director Edward II. Griffith for photo
graphic purposes to attract audience
attention to the principals in the scene.
While the revolving stage has been
used in drama and musical comedy in
the United States, it has never before
been employed in the presentation Of
opera. The idea is borrowed from the
famous s10,O0O,000 Teatro Colon. in
Buenos Aires, which has been repro
duced on the Columbia sound stages
especially for Miss Moores Butterfly
sequence in the film.
The revolving stage is a regular
feature of operatic productions in the
Argentine capital, where, according to
specialists, the impresarios are far
ahead of American opera producers
in mechanical effects.

the rest Of the year.
Meanwhile, what of the pleasantries,

Twins and the rooming team of Cecil
Travis and Buddy Lewis? Between
them, Travis and Lewis provided the
features Of 1887 and upon them will
be built the foundation for the 1888

Travis, a consistent hitter in the

leaped to the front of the American
League batting class for a period this
season. Cece could not stand the pace
but he is almost certain to finish the
year with better than $40 average
and, Of course, lead the Mats in hitting
