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. During the fore-
noon only fifteen people, outside of
the members of the company, appear-
ed on the grounds while in the after-
noon there were only a few over one
hundred. 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 |

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.

regarded as the close of the picnic
season at Hecla park, will be monopo-
lized by the Odd Fellows of Centre
and Clinton counties in their annual
outing. For several years past the

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

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.

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.

Councilman Cunningham Victim of
Motor Collision.
! Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Cunningham
| were given a bad fright and shake-up
{last Saturday night when their Stu-
| debaker coupe was struck, broadside,
Iby a Ford touring car that Harold
| Kulp, of State College, was driving
{ without lights.
| The councilman and his wife were
ion their way home from calling on
friends on Pine street and were in the
act of turning off Pine, at the Wagner
mill, onto Mill street to go down to
south Water. Just as they were mak-
ing the turn the Ford crashed into the
right side of their car, crumpling up
the running board and right front
fender.
The impact was so severe as to
push the heavy coupe side-wise for
eight feet and knocked Mrs. Cuning-
ham over against the steering post,
causing several rather severe bruises.
Mr. Cunningham knew it to be a
very dangerous corner and was tak-
ing every precaution to avoid an ac-
cident, but as the Ford was without
lights he didn’t even know what hit
him until after the collision.
