Stands On Mail Record

Charges of ineficiency in the air
mail service made by c. c. Eversole,
former mail pilot, before the special
investigating committee at Chicago,
are not only groundlcss, but an in
suit to the integrity of every man
employed in the service" said Maj.
E. c. Zoll general superintendent
of the air mail service, while i'll
Omaha Saturday.
I'VE couldn't have made the
record we have if those charges were
true.
The allegations of Eversole were
simply the outcome of disgruntled
pilot, made because he was dis
charged for an unnecessary leap
from plane i'll 4 parachute. Ever
sole made his charges after he was
dismissed, not before, as has been
stated.
Discharge Follows Probe.
His discharge came two months
after the leap near Minneapolis and
was ordered by the postmaster gen.
eral following an investigation by
postal inspectors The inspectors
found that Eversoll had no cause
to jump from the plane and he was
charged with needless destruction
OF property in allowing his plane to
crash to the earth.
There also is no truth in the state
ment that Pilot Christensen's death
at Cleveland recently was due to
his being ordered up in bad weather.
The skies were clear when he left
Chicago and it was reported clear at
Cleveland. He ran into fog which
drifted in from the lake and the tip
OF his propeller struck the counter
balance on a bridge while he was
hunting the landing field in Cleveland.
Fog is common occurrence along
the lakes and is liable to drift land
ward at any time.
christensen was crushed to death
by the weight of his plane, instead
of being cremated by the subsequent
explosion, as first reported.
Meier Forced to Fly. d.
"Eversole's charges that pilots
were unwillingly forced to fly are
joke. The main trouble is to res
train them and keep them on the
ground. No man, as long as ! AMI in
charge, will be discharged for not
flying when he has reason.
Statements that machines were'
prepared for flying by drunken me-
chanics and that pilots were forced
to take them up, knowing that they
were not air-worthy. are equally
false. Our men do not mix whisky
with aviation"
For myself, I do not care about
tine charges. but do resent them
for their reflection on our men,
Major Zoll stopped at Omaha on
his transcontinental inspection of the
air mail fields to effect consolidation
of army and mail service stations
wherever possible. He arrived here
from Minneapolis Saturday morning
and will leave for the west early
Sunday morning. A. R. Dunphy, ST.

Goethai was charged with cxhibi-
ton of a dramatic performance,
on Sunday, April 2, in violation of
Section 1883 of the code. commonly
referred to as the blue laws" The
court upheld his contention that there
was no provision in the code pro-
hibiting a picture show on Sunday
unless it was classed as tragedy,
comedy, farce" etc.
1t was the contention of the at
torney general that the law should
not be given such limited inter
probation; that moving picture is
the only way of presenting dra-
matte performance or exercise" as
the same is used under the law and
that the entire clause, "any moving

Must Consider Entire Act.
The court ruled that to eliminate
one part of the law and consider
the remaining part was beyond its
province. To do so, the court stated,
would be to make practically a new
law and one materially different from
the one actually enacted by the leg
islature. ~

Methods of Construction Wh'ch

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Important factors affecting the sue
cessful use of crates in marketing
fruits and vegetables were carefully
studied by a specialist OF the bureau
of markets, United States Department
Of Agriculture, during recent trip.
The first of these is the need OF manu-
facturers making more rigid inspec-
ton of materials used.
While most manufacturers make an
effort to have their stock Inspected
and to use only good material. in some
cases this attempt is frustrated by the
failure of the workman to understand
and appreciate the ideal which is guld-
ing his employer. Many crate-lniii
employees seem to cherish the Old IDEA
that because the crate is Il gift pack
age it should be made as cheapiy as
possible, using any sort of material so
long as there is chance OF It's hola-
ing together. thus reducing the cost
to the grower and shipper.
The Growers Responsibility.
The crate manufacturer having
done his part in providing materials
free from defects, the grower or snip
per should see to ii that the crate IS
not spoiled in being made up in his
packing house or field.
