Seeks Air Pilots

John :, Written. of Seattle, Wash.
was, in Memphis Thursday to recruit
airplane pilots and mechanics for a
Northwestern timber and mining com
pany, which has installed a big fleet OF
planes. Written left Thursday night
for New York and other points in the
East but hopes to pay Memphis a visit
on MS return West which he will make
by airplane.
We are now using planes in prac-
tcally every department of our BUSH
ness, said Written. AT first we had
difficulty. in securing a sufficient mum
Der OF ships and now we are having
difficulty securing pilots and mechanics.
Practically all big concerns in the West
have adopted the use of the airplane
and the result is that there is big
shortage there of aviators We are
paying fancy salaries to all the men
we can secure and; I had thought l
would have no difficulty in recruiting
a regiment of them through the South,
but | find that aviation Is making
rapid strides here as well as in the
West and | am told by officials of the
Memphis Aerial company that there are
no available pilots to be secured in this
part of the country.
