This lust Is one of the most amusing factor In this subject of America's taking to the air. Take for Instance the muttei of "spanning the continent" or "diminishing the space which separates the two coasts of the United States." Do you realize that within seventy-eigh- t years the time for doing that has been cut down from twenty-four t mindiys to eighteen hours and utest The best way In which to Illustrate this astounding JSct la to cite the career of a man whose life span of ninety-seveyears has seen all of the rapid changes In transportation Involved in that reduction take place, lie Is Ezra Meeker of Oregon Trail fame who claims the distinction of being the only man to cross the United States by ox team, stage coach, train, automobile and airplane; In 1850 Mr. Meeker could have mailed a letter In New Tork which after three days by rail and twenty one days by stage coach would be delivered In San Francisco twenty-fou- r days later. In 1800 another of his letters would go by rail 1l two and a half days to St. Joseph, where It would be carried by pony express In eight days to California ; total time ten and one-hadays. In 1870 a letter, traveling by special train would have gone from New Tork to San Francisco In 100 hours or four days and four hours. If Mr. Meeker should mall his letter In New Tork today to go by I he regular mall routes on extra fare trains It would get to San Francisco In 90 hours, or 3 days and IS hours. Bn. If he put an airmail stamp on It (as he actually 'Id with a letter when the new five cent air mall rate went Into effect last summer) 31 hours, or one day and 7 hours, after It left New Tork It would be In the city of the Golden Gate. Those statistics deal with regularly scheduled When dealing with methods of transportation. what may be termed "special effort the records are even better and even more Illustrative of the statement that conditions change over night. A record In crossing the continent was made a few years ago when A. II. Smith, president of the New Tork Central railroad died and a speclul train was provided to take Mrs. Smith from Los Angeles to New Tork. The trip was made In 69 hours and 11 minutes. In 1923 Lieutenants Kelly and Mncready made a nonstop airplane night from coast to coast in 26 hours and 58 minutes. For five years that record stood. Then one day In August of this year Art Goebel set out from Los Angeles for New Tork. He arrived In 18 hours and 58 minutes. Testerday the Atlantic and the PacIHc were 26 ' hours apart. Today they are but 19 hours apart. And that fact Is typical of the RIGHT NOW rapid development of aviation. What Is new yesterday Is old today and obsolete tomorrow. Be tween the time this article Is being written and the time you are reading it some of the records quoted In It may alrendy have, been broken and some of the facts which are new now may truly be old stuff" then. For the flight of the aviator establishing a record Is faster than the workings of the typewriter, the typesetting machine and the newspaper press In putting the story of his feat Into print and getting It to all who would read of It Nothing is more typical of the rapid advance ol aviation, than the development of the air mall service. There was scarcely a day during the past summer that the newspapers did not tell ol extension ot this service. Perhaps the some n.-most Important announcement and the one which brought home to most people the fact that aviation was a part of their daily life was the inauguri rate for airmnil. But ation of tlie new on that same day Postmaster General New issued an ad nne announcement of another innovation mail service which uould steamship-airplan- Dread Hi flfty-elgh- n - lf five-con- e d-- h save 24 hours between New Tork and France. other announcement at about that time was that a 1.260 mile air mail line was to be opened from Key West, Florida, to Porto Ulco giving Cuba, Haiti, Santo Domingo and Porto Rico service each way three times a week and that possibly the eervlce would be extended by way of tlie Leeward and Windward Islands to Port of Spain In Trinidad. Still another announcement at that time was the projected opening of a 1,640 mile route front Key West to the Canal Zone serving Cuba, Mexico, Belize, British Honduras, Republic of Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Blca and the Canal Zone seven times a week. And less than a year after "Llndya" nonstop Washlngtonto-MexlcCity flight the air mall was preparing to follow him across the border with an air mall route of 2,800 miles, the longest In North America. And these are only a few among the many of the air mall developments which came to pass last summer which are taking place as this Is being written and which will be taking place when these words are read. One high spot In the series, because It offered an opportunity for a recapitulation of air mall progress, was the announcement that on a certain day air mall planes had flown more than 25,000 miles (or the equivalent of the distance around the earth) over 35 states carrying more than seven tons of mall, exclusive of express and passengers. That statement, as had few others, forcibly demonstrated the fact that the day of dependable air transport had definitely arrived and that It was a more Important factor In American social and economic life than most Americans realize. It served, too, to recall the fact that this record of the mall planes, around which this nation Is building Its commercial aviation, was achieved after many disappointments and much pioneering Air transport, as we have It today, began with the effort of the Post Office department to transport mall by airplane between New York and. Washing ton ten years ago. Private capital was not Interested and it devolved on the government to prove the feasibility of this form of transport. The expanded the service as funds permitted and late In 1920 the transcontinental route, the longest single airplane route In the world, was The mall was flown by day and established. trained by night. It was apparent that unless night flying was possible, transportation of mull Hnd other com modifies by air could not attain maximum benefits A memorable series of tests of night flving, over unlighted airways, was resorted to. In July, 1924. the transcontinental air mail went on a night and day basis and tlie time from New York to the Pacific coast was cut to 32 hours. That marked the beginning of the present day era of air mall service. Private capital began to show interest In taking over the operation of mail routes and in 1925 the postmaster general was given authority to con tract with individuals to transport the mail on contract, this to be obtained by competitive bid dng on a poundage basis. By September 30. 1927. all of tlie routes were being operated by private companies. Then began a systematic campaign to acquaint the public with the advantages of nit mail and soon the poundage carried began lo show substantial increases. New routes had been added and tlie mileage began to approach the 20.000 mile a day figure. Then came tlie announcement that the new rir mail rate would be five cents for the first ounce and ten cents for each additional An- o . post-offic- e to It quickly. ounce and the public responded Now, Just ten years after the first mail wu "run between New carried by day over a York and Washington there are 20 routes (ravers Ing 35 states, serving 62,000,000 people directly and millions more Indirectly, through an air mail train hookup. The planes which made only two stops ten yenrg ago now drop out of the skies onto 102 landing fields, scattered from the Great Lakes 218-nill- e to the gulf and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Cities which were distant yesterday are neighbors today for air mall has reduced the size of America to the dimensions of Texas, wbo measured In terms of transportation time. Over these 20 routes during the first six months of this year a total of 12,000,000 letters were carried and In that time 1,051,767 pounds ot air mull reached Its destination safely and on time. But It Is not alone In terms of lettejrs that the new form of transport Is so Important In modem American life. Air transport has become a vital factor lu American business and social life. Recent Increases In the rate of call money have brought airplane mail Into a greater use by banks than ever before. With call money hovering around 6 per cent, and reaching 8 per cent In June, tills year the highest since 1921. the hunks and financial Institutions, especially cn the Pacific roust where three days saving In transit time can be made by using air mall, utilize tills form of transportation to save Interest And midwest bankers as well sent an increased volume of business air mull to save one or two days interest. Each day approximately $24,000,000 In negotiable paper arrives In Wail Street by airplane from all over the conn-.try- . It has been estimated that In a year capital arriving In New York by air muil would total $7,200,000,000, and Interest saved by tlie use of air mail Is equivalent to $144,000,000. when Interest Is figured at only 2 per cent. Thousands of dollars monthly are saved by firms who use air mail to forward Dills of lading on cargoes like silk, oil, and rubber landed at seaboard points. Colorado sweet peas are being shipped daily by air mail and within 24 hours after they are picked they are on sale in mtddlewest florist shops. California orchids have found enlarged, markets since they could be delivered over tlie airway network. Sentimentally Inclined swains are regular patrons of the airways In rustling Mowers and presents to distant sweethearts Such instances of how America has taken to the air to speed up communication, to transact business and to take every advantage of tlie facill ties which the air muil routes provide could tie multiplied indefinitely. And the end is not yet foi January 1, 1929, will see more routes start opera tions, while work on air ports, necessary to secure air mail service, is going on in all parts of the country and the government reports 665 air ports projected in addition to tlie hundreds now opera t ing. The lighting of airways continues and today there are "land lubber lighthouses on mountains and prairie to guide the night pilot, tlie mileage of lighted airways being 7.000 miles and apiwopri-ntionto light 4,000 more miles have been made for this fiscal year.
