FLYING SAFETY IS ASSURED BY LICENSE RULE Marmon Motor Company Head Says Commercial Aviation Stimulated. Commercial aviation will be stimulated by the United States Department of Commerce ruling requiring pilots license and inspection of planes. That is the opinion of G. M. Williams, Marmon Motor Car Company president and vice president of Central Airways, Inc., which plans establishment of commercial routes out of Indianapolis. Dependability of air travel resulting from the new rule, effective July 1, will greatly increase public confidence in the modern form of trafisportation, Williams said. Must Know Plane Only pilots who have shown familiarity with the ship which they are to fly will receive government license. All ships must be inspected and bear “certificate of air worthiness,” certifying that they are properly designed and in good condition. “It has taken a long time to develop this system, but I feel it will go a long ways to eliminate accidents such as often take place in corn fields because of improper ships,” Williams declared. “Old wrecks which have been used for fifteen years will not be permitted to be used for carrying passengers. “Commercial aviation is being quickly stabilized and I think the era of air transportation is just' around the corner,” he asserted. . Plan Agencies Here William said two airplane sales agencies are soon to be established here, which will increase Ideal interest greatly. The Marmon company, the first local concern to make extensive use of an airship for passenger and freight service.' has a Stinson-De-troiter, which is used to rush material and company officials from one point to another. ' Paul H. Moore, Indianapolis Airport Corporation secretary, has completed a study of Indianapolis weather conditions covering fiftyfour years. An average of 103 clear days a year and 56 per cent sufishine was shown. The study proves Indianapolis has “ideal flying weather.” The average wind velocity is 10.6 miles an hour. On twelve days a year there is a foaty-mile or more gale. Thunderstorms occur on about forty days a year. There is an average of 130 partly cloudy days and 132 cloudy days. Only six days show a dense fog, the condition only lasting a few hours. There is an average of eighteen days a year with temperature of 90 degrees or more and thirty-two days with maximum temperature, below 32 degrees. SIGN ON SHIRT, SISTER!

NAVY TO HOLD OWN U. S. Won’t Bow to Britain, Says Robinson. “America should have the right to maintain a navy, if desired, equal to that of Great Britain. We will never agree to any treaty that stamps us as inferior to any other nation,” United States Senator Arthur R. Robinson told Jyjiior Chamber of Commerce members &t noon today. Robinson advocated a strong American stand at the three-power naval conference now in session at Geneva, between United States, Great Britain and Japan representatives. “We are willing i to enter into reasonable agreements for the limitation of armament, but connot accept terms that may impair our national security. We have thousands of miles of coast line to defend i ncase of emergency and the Philippine Islands, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Virgin lislands and the Panama Canal Zone all look to our Navy for protection,” Robinson said.

WAR LOOMS IN MINESUF UHIO Operators Plan Reopening With Non-Union Men. (Copyright, 1027, by United Press) COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 29.—0hi0 coal operators, meeting here this afternoon, will consider ■ issuing an ultimatum that idle union miners must return to the shafts on the basis of anew wage scale to be submitted or the properties will resume immediately on an open-shop basis, the United Press learned. The final move of the Ohio coal operators to bring a peaceable end to the suspension which has been in effect in the industry since the Jacksonville agreement, expired last April, will be a wage offer on a parity with the November, 1917, scale, one of the largest operators said. “If the union miners will not accept this offer, we cannot see anything left to do but to open our mines with nonunion labor,” this influential mine owner told the United Press. < The Novemoer, 1917, scale, which will form a basis for the expected compromise offer draft, provides for a wage of $5 per day. The Jacksonville agreement called for a scale of $7.50 a day. The union miners have insisted on anew contract without lower wages.
