The tour of the Centre County Banker’s Association was made as announced last Thursday and proved a most instructive as well as delightful journey for the county financiers. They visited all the agricultural show places in the county as per the itiner- ary published last week and while very much impressed with what they saw by way of specialized farming reports are to the effect that the ham and egg breakfast served them at Kerlin’s Grand View poultry farm, at Centre Hall, was where the bankers failed utterly to practice their preach- ments on saving. The Undine fire company came out $980 to the good as the result of their recent picnic held at Hecla park, notwithstanding the fact that they had no rain insurance and the small- est crowd ever seen at a similar gath- ering at the park.

Just ninety-six auto parking tickets were sold during the day. Of course the expense was not over $150. Last year, with a large crowd in at- tendance, the company cleared $750. NATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT TAKES OVER THE AIRMAIL. Government Relinquishes Job to Pri- vate Corporation Yesterday. The National Air Transport cor- poration yesterday began their con- tract of carrying the airmail on the transcontinental route between New York and Chicago. The new carrying corporation has put into service the Douglass plane, which is considerably larger than the DeHaviland used by the Postoffice Department, and with which they anticipate flying from New York to Cleveland without a stop, which makes the fate of the Bellefonte landing field still an uncer- tainty. The company, however, will retain the services of all the old pilots now flying on the eastern division, namely: Paul F. Collins, Harry Chandler, Earl Ward, Harry G. Smith, Dean C. Smith, Ordway Webster, Ste- phen Kaufman, Eddie Hopson, and John Dewitt Hill and Lloyd Bertaud, who at present are off on an indefinite leave of absence for their proposed trans-Atlantic flight to Rome. Only two of the Bellefonte field force have been retained, Forrest Tanner and Earl Kline, but officials of the N. A. T. intimated that it is pos- sible the entire crew will be needed later. In the meantime the men who were not immediately employed by the new corporation will be retained at the field during the month of Sep- tember by the government to take account of stock there and clean up the plant generally of all material not taken over by the Air Transport. Now that the government has gone out of the mail carrying business it might be of interest to give a few facts regarding the airmail. It was on September 20th, 1918, when pilot Max Miller made his first landing on Beaver field while making a flight from New York to ‘Chicago to locate the most direct route for carrying mail by airplane. He had previously stopped at Lock Haven but eventually recommended Bellefonte as the stop- ping place. During the ensuing three months other planes were sent over the course and Bellefonte was defi- nitely selected. Beaver field was se- cured and a small wooden hangar erected. This hanger was burned down the following winter and a steel hanger erected. When night flying was determined upon two years ago the new field was taken over and the big hanger built on it. During the almost ten years that the government has had charge of carrying the mail it has developed from the experimental stage to a business of no mean importance. While it does not entirely pay its way it comes about as near to it as rail and other means of mail transporta- tion. tuted without fatalities. of the original pilots lost their life in perfecting the work. The first man to be killed was pilot Carl B.. Smith, who crashed from a height of five hundred fet at Eliza- beth, N. J., on December 18th, 1918, when he attempted to take off with the first cargo of mail for Bellefonte and Cleveland. The mail was then brought through by pilot Leon Smith. On July 18th. 1919, Lieut. Charles Lamborn was killed at Dix Run, Cen- tre county, when he came down in a fog ‘and ran into the mountain side. The next man to lose his life was John P. Charlton, who on October 30th, 1919, while flying from Belle- fonte to New York, attempted to come down out of a fog bank and crashed into the side of Schooley’s mountain, near Dover, N. J. The year 1920 was rife with fatali- ties. On March 10th pilot Clayton Stoner’s plane fell out of control at New Paris, Ind., with the result that he was crushed to death. On March 30th, the plane piloted by Harry C. Sherlock was blown against a chimney on the Tiffany building while attempting to land at Heller's field, N. J., crashed to the ground and Sherlock was killed. On September 1st, 1920, Max Mil- ler, who pioneered the airmail route, and his mechanic, a man named Pier- son, were killed and badly burned when their Junker plane caught fire in the air and crashed to the ground at Morristown, N. J. Two weeks later, or on September 14th, Walter Stevens and his mechan- ic, Russell Thomas, were killed in like manner when their Junker plane caught fire in midair and crashed to the ground near Pemberville, Ohio. On September 27th, 1920, pilot Fred Robinson was killed near Millersville, Dauphin county, when his plane caught on a cable of the Cumberland Valley Telephone company and was catapulted into the Susquehanna river. Only one fatality occurred on the eastern division in 1921, and that was pilot John T. Christensen, whose mo- ter went dead at Cleveland, Ohio, and in volplaning down he collided with a railroad viaduct and was hurl- ed to his death. No fatal accidents occurred in 1922 but on February 26th, 1923, pilot Elmer G. Lenhart was flying under a fog bank near Meadville, Pa., when his plane struck a fence and he was killed. On March 7th, 1924, pilot Brooks Hyde Pearson was caught in a blind- ing snow storm near Grampian, Clearfield county, and crashed to earth. His body was not found until late the next day. But the most tragical accident of all was that of Charles H. Ames, on October 1st, 1925, who flew into the side of Nittany mountain while carry- ing the night airmail from New York to Bellefonte, was killed outright, and it was ten days before his crashed But the airmail was not insti- ! In fact most | EE ———————————— plane and dead body were found. Of course there were other fatali- ties on western divisions, but not so many. Not a pilot was killed on the eastern division during 1926 or so far during 1927. The coldest pilot now in the service is E. Hamilton Lee, flying west from Chicago, while “Slim” Lewis is still in service flying between Omaha and Cheyenne. Big Radio Beacon Tower Almost Com- pleted. The big 150 foot, all steel radio beacon tower, at the old radio station on the Beaver farm, is almost com- pleted and will soon be ready for fur- ther tests as to its efficiency as a guide for airplane pilots. The beacon is being constructed in connection with the regular radio station, and as it is the first of its kind to be erected on a regular flying route, Bellefonte was selected as its location because of the hazards connected with flying over the Allegheny mountains. Two men, C. G. Green and Carl Hempell, have been in Bellefonte most of the summer working on the new beacon, and several weeks ago it was given a preliminary test by Haraden Pratt, of the U. S. Bureau of Standards, from a plane piloted by Stephen Kaufman. The tests, while showing the probable practicability of the beacon, did not prove all that is desired. The beacon is entirely electrical and is operated in conjunction with radio-telegraph and radio-telephone instruments in the ship. During the test here the greatest difficulty was to find the right wave length. When the instrument was adjusted to the regu- lar wave length of the ordi- nary radio communication there was too much interference from other broadcasting machines. When adjust- ed to a higher wave length the opera- tor in the ship could get the station call but the station could not get the ship, and when the wave length was lowered the station operator could get the ship distinctly but the observer in the ship could not get the station call. Last Wednesday an expert from the Westinghouse company arrived in Bellefonte and has been working with Messrs. Greeu and Hempell in an effort to adjust the instruments at a certain wave length which can be dis- tinctly heard by the operator at the station as well as the pilot in the ship and which will not be in conflict with the wave length of regular broadcast- ing stations. If this can be accom- plished it will be a long step toward the effectiveness of the big beacon as a safeguard for pilots during storms or foggy weather. DE a, John Tonner Harris Elected Vice President Bell Telephone Co.

The public is invited. ri mi i) Many Kiddies Guests of Elks at Hecla Park Yesterday. Just 971 children registered at the Elks home for the sixth annual “Kid- dies Day” picnic held by the Elks, at Hecla park, vesterday. In addition to the above number in the neighbor- hood of seventy-five registered at Howard, so that a fair estimate of the total number would be 1050. As usual the kiddies were taken to the park in motor busses and automobiles and members of the Elks were in charge of the transportation as well as look- ed after the welfare of the children while at the park. pany of Pennsylvania, held in Phila- | Four Liquor Law Violators Sentenced on Tuesday. Tuesday was sentence day in Cen- tre county court. The first case called up was that against W. E. Confer and Randall Steiger, charged with at- tempting to steal gasoline from the tank at R. G. Meyer's garage, at Spring Mills, on the night of June 5th. The men were caught in the act and frightened away before they got the gas, one of them, Steiger, receiv- ing a portion of a load of fine shot in his hips and legs. In behalf of the young men, district attorney John G. Love stated to the court that Mr. Meyers had said that he would be satisfied with a suspended sentence. That both young men have been go- ing straight since the attempted theft and working pretty steadily, and be- cause of their families he did not wish them sent to jail. Because of that fact Judge Furst suspended sentence upon the payment of costs, but warn- ed the young men that if ever they overstep the bounds of right living he will have them brought into court and impose sentence. The cases against the four residents of Bald Eagle valley, convicted at the May term of court for violation of the liquor laws, and to whom the court last week refused new trials, were called for sentence. John Smay, Benjamin F. Fink and Howard Walk were each sentenced to pay the costs of prosecution, a fine of $150 and im- prisonment in the county jail for a period of three months. Mrs. Marcella Beals was sentenced to pay the costs of prosecution, $150 fine and six months in the county jail. When the court pronounced sentence Mrs. Beals began to cry and said, “Why I can’t go to jail, Judge, I have no one at home.” But the court was not impressed and she was marched in line with the three men sentenced and taken to jail.

ER —— lp ——————— Atlantic Refining Company Station Robbed. On Monday night the station of the Atlantic Refining company was broken into and the motorist who was on the hunt of gasoline made a sad mistake by stealing kerosene. He took a five gallon can and a ten gallon can, then filled his tank. The ten gallon can he sold and that is what led to a discov- ery of the identity of the individual, although he has not yet been caught. He is a young man who used to live in Bellefonte but has been away for a year or two. Police officers, how- ever, feel confident of landing him within a few days.
