AIRMAIL PLANE Men Will Blossom Out in These Monday CUT ORDERED IN
TESTING PICKUP SERVICE TODAY
Lack of Aitports No Bar
With Hook on Cable To Snare Sacks.
(Copyright, 1939, by Science Service) WASHINGTON, May 12.—One of] aviation’s fondest dreams—of a day when all first class mail goes by| air—moves a step nearer realization today when a United States air-| mail plane drops low over 10 Penn- | sylvania, Ohio and West Virginia | towns for the first time in their histories to launch an experimental | pickup airmail service. Carrying no revenue load except | mail, a fleet of five trim monoplanes/| of All-American Aviation, Inc, will in a few weeks time be serving 56 cities in four states with speedy letter service such as no small American city ever has had. If the novel experiment, backed | by Federal funds to the extent of | 43 cents a mile on one route and | 32 cents on the other, is successful} during the course of the next year, | and Congress approves, it will be extended to hundreds of other cities | throughout the United States and] rapidly bring nearer the day when | first class mail all goes the fastest] way possible—through the air,
Unique Devices Developed
Several unique devices developed | by an Irwin, Pa, dentist who be-| came interested in aviation, Dr. | Lytle S. Adams, underlie the new | service which dispenses with the | necessity of making landings to pick up letters and other packages, or to deliver them. A mail bag will be slung between two masts 40 feet high As mail plane approaches, an operator | aboard the ship will lower a 85-foot | cable at the end of which grasping hook, and at the end of another 20 feet, a container of mail for delivery to that town. As the bag being delivered touches ground, a special device will sever the copper wire by which it is fastened. An instant later, the hook on the cable will snare the rope | holding the container of outgoing | mail. Service is thus possible in| towns too small to afford excellent | airports Two Routes Planned
Another important promise also implicit in the AllAmerican service, which is headed and financed by a noted aviator of the du Pont family, Richard C. du Pont, outstanding glider pilot, | For, if these planes which carry! ho passengers can be made to pay| themselves, and if all first class ever does go via air, a day will when passengers and mails Will go in separate planes. | I'mo routes are to be operated, covering the 56 small cities. One will go from Philadelphia to Pitts- | burgh, with mail pickup and deliyery at 26 intermediate points. The other will run from Pittsburgh to Weston, W. Va, with 30 intermediate stops

Countess Edda Ciano, favorite
the daughter of Premier Benito Musso-
lini and wife of the Italian Foreign | Minister, sailed for Rio de Janeiro on a three-months’ visit, and wags said:
“Edda’s gone to Brazil to get a cup of coffee.” Many cafes, their supplies exhausted, ceased selling “espressi’— small cups of black coffee produced by steam-operated machines. Coffee “bootleggers” already were operating. The Fascist appeal was made by Azhille Starace, secretary general of the party, to “all good Fascists” who were told that by eiether stopping or limiting their coffee consumption “we will damn those countries which want our gold instead of our products in payment.” It was anounced that no more coffee would be served at the bar of the Chamber of Deputies, now

Unless Brazil and other coffeeproducing countries accept Italian products instead of gold exchange Italy will refuse to buy any coffee, officials said. Camicia Nera, writing in the Fascist Party organ Resto del Car= lino, said that if Italian coffee consumption was reduced one-third “we will he able to construct a greater number of airplanes, a cruiser and those arms which might decide the outcome of an eventual war.” Coffee sold for 85 cents a pound tonight--when it could be found.
