The schedule provides for the dc l> part lire of one plane each day froifi ;i both Washington and New York. The machines leave promptly at 1 i :">o in 51 the morning, and it is hoped to have sl the mail deposited at the terminals'0' not more than three hours later. Starting from the Mall in Washing-;1"' ton, near the Washington monument.! the trip to Philadelphia, about miles, is expected to be made in1 about an hour and twenty minutes. I At the hangars in North Philadel-| E pliia another machine will be waiting,) ? read to start the lligiit to New York] . i i i i i * as soon as mi' incoming piano laniis * and tin* transfer of mail Inters is 1 made. The second lo.tr of the journey, from Philadelphia to Belmont field, in the Long; Island suburbs of New . ~ should be made in about an n hour. The larger planes carry about ] (i()0 pounds of mail, or approximately 24,000 .letters. The smaller machines willy carry about half that amount. 1 Emergency landing fields will be established at Baltimore and Havre de Grace, Mr.; Wilmington, Del., and at either Prineenton or New Brunswick, New Jersey. In the case of a machine breaking down at some interurban point in its journey, the mail sacks will be rushed by motor truck to the nearest railroad station where they will be sent forward in care of a courier. The rate of postage has been established by law at 24 cents an ounce or fraction thereof. However this entitles the sender to have the letter forwarded to the addresses by special . delivery service, in case the airplane arrives too late for the regular city deliveries. Letters mailed at Washington, Philadelphia or New York for <le- , livery in any part of the country may have their delivery facilitated by sending them on the first part of the J journey by airplane.

(Correspondence of the Associated I'ress)? rhe great shortage of fats in Gernany and the resulting necessity of ising more of all edible fats for hunan consumption have driven the in pi re's scientific men to extensive xperimentation with so-called "minral wax." The result has been both more varied use of this product and , greatly improved method of secur Mineral wax is a substance exracted from brown coal with the aid f benzine, benzol or other technical olvents. Benzol is now used exlusively in Germany for this purmse. Old methods have been unable ii extract all the wax from the coal rented, but the Kaiser Wilhelm Intitule for experimentation with coal now winning nearly the entire uantity in the coal treated. The main features of it simproved stem consist in extracting the wax 11 uler a high pressure, as much as i\ atmospheres, and at a high temicrature. A brown coal which had >reduced only eleven per cent of wax uuler the old system gives up 25 per cut under the new treatment. Mineral wax was used in peace iincs mainly for the fabrication of oe-polish, phonograph records and he insulation of electric cables. Its i eh percentage of sebaoic acid? bout (50 per cent of its entire rollout?has been turned to account in no making of consistent fats.
