Schedules and tariffs for air trans-port, including passengers, express and mail.

Accredited schools for aviation training.

Airports and landing fields.

Mr. Henry's statement continues: "Since the organization of the A. A. A. back in 1902, the Association has been steadily pushing forward toward the goal of an all-inclusive travel ser-vice. This has been necessary through the demand of motorists for service beyond the travel horizon of the auto-mobile.
