Its present schedules call for day flights between New York and Kansas City and between Los Angeles and Kansas City with brief period of night flying at each terminal. FROM EAST TO WEST NOW. Its all-night activities at present consist of the overnight service for air mail which it established April 20 and according to which mail is flown across the United States from east to west less time than by any other route The planes carrying out this schedule depart from Kansas City only after the arrival of the passenger and mail machine from New York, thus carrying on with mail that has left New York that same In effect, the new night schedules to New York from here will permit the same rapid transportation of mail across the continent from west to east. The trimotor bearing passengers and mail from Los Angeles arrives here about 10 o'clock.

The planes have been purchased by the line and two or three have been delivered. In addition, the pilots who will fly the night mail from Kansas City to and from Columbus to New York have been designated from among the line's co-pilots of the craft The added night service undoubtedly will make of Kansas City point of and inter-line exchange of air mail whose volume will be among the heaviest air mail cities in the country This is accounted for through the fact the central air mail route through here and over the T. & W. system, will require less time to transport mail from coast to coast than either the northern or southern air mail routes In fact, the present overnight servicc from here Los Angeles, which means virtually journey for mail from New York to the California city has done much to swell the volume of air mail here The line's mail poundages have increased to the point wherein T. & W A. alone is transporting from two to three tons each week Then there are the heavy mail loads of National Air Transport, American Airways and United States Airways to add to the total The whole,' even without the coming additional service. has gone far to make Kansas City outstanding in its air mail volume.
