Show LOOKS LIKE A GO. II 8 8 For the past eighteen months the Postoffice Department has been laying out a coast-to-coast airplane route, and trying out the plan of carrying mail by fast sky craft. Now comes announcement an-nouncement that the routes have been definitely accepted, schedules sched-ules have been fixed, planes especially built for carrying mail have been turned over to the department, and a regular service of airplane mail will be started on July 1. The stamps have also been printed, with a minimum fee of about 25c a very reasonable reason-able rate for those who want to get a message through faster than the trains can carry it and yet much cheaper than it could be telegraphed. Permanent landing fields have been opened, and skilled men are ready to pilot the fast planes through the air, flying both day and night schedule. Pretty soon "airplane mail" will probably be coming into Delta. When it does it would be a good idea for the recipient of such a letter to sit down and consider what a long step this old nation has taken within the past fifteen or twenty years. -tm-- We see a health note in a daily paper which says: "If milk don't agree with the baby, boil it." Rather tough on the baby, isn't it? 8 8 8 |
