.PINCHOT SEES PERIL
TO CONSERVATION
Former U. S. Forester Criticizes
Legislatures Alleged Indiffer-
ence to Grange Bills

Allentown, Pa. May 26.-Some
startling allegations were made last
evening by Clifford Pinchot, former
United States forester and chairman of
the conservation committee of the Penn
sylvania State Grange, who was in
vited here to make an address by the
Rev j. p. Bachman, pastor of Emanuel
Reformed Church.
Mr.. Pinchot declared that conscrva
ton in Pennsylvania is in danger be-
cause of the active opposition of many
members of the Legislature and senators
at Harrisburg, or their passive indif-
ference to conservation bills presented
to them by the State Grange.
Mr.. Pinchot severely criticized the
senator's and members who have been
thus far responsible for killing rene
dial water and forest legislation while
permitting to be passed bills designed
to break down the safeguards which
exist now against exploitation Of tho
states waters. lie pleaded for the
help of good citizens generally in dc
feating the bills opening up the right
of eminent domain to water companies
and in securing conservation legislation
which will save to the people of Penn
sylvania the resources now under the
control of the state.

Even in those days when man had
TO be daredevil. absolutely reckless
and unmindful of his life, Hawker soon
became noted for his daring. He would
attempt TO fly anything that would get
off the ground. and it wasn't long be-
fore he began testing the Sopwith planes
and taking out experimental machines
that none of the other aviators would
attempt to handle.
Hawker hadn't been flying moro than
few months before he began winning
medals and trophies and prizes. lie
won the Michelin trophy in 1912 for
the longest flight from sunrise to sun
set. He was in the air eight hours
and twenty three minutes, beating his
nearest rival by forty five minutes. And
it is rather a coincidence that his rival
was Fred Raynham, who was llawkcr's $
kccncst rival in the dash overseas and
whose machine crashed as he was about
to take off at st. John $. just after
lIawkcr had started. The next year.
in 1913. Iawkcr and Rnynham again
met in competition. and again liawkcr
won. beating Raynham by half min
ute in an aerial race across country.
Hawkcr entered the great race around
England in 1918. for which the London
Daily Mail offered a prize of S2J,Ooo,
but engine trouble kept him from finish .
ing. although he flew 1O4G miles. lie
was compelled to land off the Irish
coast, near Dublin, and SO failed to
finish the last 800 miles. That same
year Hawkcr took a plane up to $4,000
feet. carried two passengers to height
of II .O02 feet and three to height of
5000 feet. great and important fcats in
those days of aviation experiments. Two
years later he established a British alti
tudc record of 0,000 feet at llcndon
and in 1916 a worlds altitude record of
2S, 800 feet. which stood until recently
when it was bcttered by Major Schroeder
of the United States army.

New York. May 26.-The luck Of
Harry G. IIawkcr, which has stayed
with him for eight years through the
thrills and dangers of his work as an
experimental and test flyer. did not de-
sert him when he came to the crucial
moment of his career.
During his term of service with the
Sopwith company Hawker took chances
with his life half dozen times a day
that make the average mortal tremblc
to even think about-and he has never,
so far as records, show. received any
injuries more serious than a few bumps
and bruises. And now, when he falls
into the Atlantic ocean, hundreds of
miles from land, with about one chance
in a million of getting out of his trouble
alive, the Hawkcr luck holds good and
he bobs up again, safe and sound and
with his reputation as n daredevil in =
creased Il hundrcdfold
But although lIawker was a dare
devil aviator. and it wasn't safe to pre-
dict any morning that he would live
through the day. he has been canny
enough TO command n salary that for
several years has made him the highest
paid air pilot in tho world, as well as
one of the most skillful. He was test
flyer for the Sopwith Aviation Company
and made several flights each day to
test out the creations of the Sopwitb
engineers. For this he got 1925 every
time he went into the air and it has
been estimated that during the last
few years his earnings have averaged
more than 100000 year.
Hawker now lives in very solid com

wife and their baby daughter. but

eight years ago he was n very poor man,
a young mechanic barely twenty years
old. able to earn few shillngs a week,

from London announcing the safety

ton. her position as 80 degrees 2S min
utes north latitude and 30 degrees west
longitude. At this time the Glendcvon
was 300 miles away, but subsequently
the Samnanger informed Nixon that it
had sighted the red light of plane to
the north. The Samnangcr added that

The Glendevon sent out repeated calls
TO other ships, broadcasting the reported
positions of the Sopwith and requesting
that ships stand by to give aid, but re-
ceived a response only from the cable
ship Faraday.
The log of the Glendevon shows the
development of the weather which Haw
