i. s. POWERLESS
TO STOP FLIGHTS
Required to Grant Permits for
Experimental Cruises, Of
ficiaIs Explain.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Stunt flights such as those which
have recently. met with such disas-
trous results are frowned upon by
aviation officials of the Commerce De
partment, but they say there is moth
ing they can do to stop them under
present laws.
Commenting today on the statement
of Philip Payne, a passenger on the
missing Old Glory, that the ship had
been pronounced in the best of condi-
ton by the Commerce Department.
air officials there said this was true.
to the extent that the airplane had
been licensed for an experimental
flight.
There is quite a difference between
an experimental and a normal avia-
ton license, they explained. The H.
cense given the Old Glory was similar
TO those granted the Dole flight
planes. the Brock-Schlee round-the-
world plane and Paul Redfern's Bruins
wick-Brazil ship, and are issuabe to
any manufacturer or owner of a plane
built for experimental or contest pur-
poses.
Cannot Refuse Permits.
The requirements merely are that
there is reasonable assurance that
the plane has a sufficient fuel range
and cruising speed to accomplish
what it sets out to do that 1t is
able to carry a gross load under such
conditions and is suitably equipped
as to engine and other instruments.
Officials said that although they
had no authority to refuse such per-
i 10
gained in further tranSoceanic flights.
Except for the Lindbergh flight,
which they likened in Importance to
the first crossing of the ocean by
surface craft, and the Byrd craft,
which they believed taught a lesson
in equipment, they saw in the recent
over-water attempts scarcely any
thing to add to aviation knowledge.
Australian Flight Planned.
An application for an experimental
license is now on file in the depart
ment from a Capt. Giles, who has an
nounced plans for a nonstop fight to
Australia. The attitude of the depart
ment towards this flight was summed
up today as:
IF ne proposes to go that's his
business. We cannot stop him."
Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, com.
mandant of the Boston Navy Yard,
has sent radio stations i'll his district
for dissemination to all shipping an
offer of the Daily Mirror of New York
of $4,000 for the rescue of the crew
of the Old Glory and $4,000 for finding
the plane.
Admiral Andrews also ordered the
radio stations at Newport, r. l.: Bar
Harbor, Me-. and Boston. Mass. to
broadcast this information.

CITY ASKS that
GARBAGE Law Be
STRICTLY KEPT

Through the offices of the city clerk
and the street department of Douglas
a statement has been issued addressed
to the merchants of the city in re-
gard to the lax methods used by
some persons in the business district
in putting out garbage receptacleS
for the collectors. Ell
In speaking Of this matter yester-
day City Clerk G. W. Pratt remarked
that this is very poor time OF
year for the streets of the city to be
dirty or Uttered up with trash and
the winter influx of tourists is in
full swing and hundreds OF cars with
strangers i'll them are driving over
these streets every day and the result
will be- if the streets are dirty that
the town will get a bad name
The statement as issued reads as
follows:
"The removal of trash in the
downtown district is being greatly
handicapped by the failure OF some
Of the merchants to provide suitable
receptables. We have an ordinance
which requires the merchants to pro
vide a receptacle large enough to
COllGdlIL+ dCl lGetSO O1lC
ton of trash and if this requirement
is complied with it will result in
more speed and efficiency on the
part of the garbage force.
''Nfost of the downtown trash con-
sists Of papers, empty cartons, etc,
and if these are not properly cared
for they soon are scattered about
the alleys and then blown on the
streets where they are most unsightly.
If this trash is placed out in small
boes and cartons, as is done by some,
they are quite often upset by boys
and it becomes very slow and
expensive matter for the garbage
workers to pick up the contents.
IF the few merchants who have
been delinquent in this matter will
use a little more care the result
will be cleaner alleys and streets and
will give the garbage wagons more
time in which to do their work in
other parts of Gne city.
The authorities of the city need the
cooperation of The merchants in this
matter and if it is forthcoming there
is no question as to the results.

the deeper sands Notwithstanding that
the well has already blown off.
The local merchant who has busi-
ness connections III the oil field has
wired for additions information, but
said last evening tfiat there was no
question but that the. well had been

Los Angeles will some day be the
largest city in the world.
The New Yorker explained his
statement by pointing out that every
thing seems to be moving westward.
He said that New York was not the
city it had been 80 or 40 years ago.
He said that the city now is filled
with foreigners almost to the exclusion
of Americans so that the americans
are moving westward.
He mentioned the startling fact
that there are more Jews in New
York than in Jerusalem, more Irish
than in any city of Ireland, more
Germans than in any city Of Ger

discussed agricultural development
systems with local people as we'll as
colonization and suburban property
development and gave the local men
many ideas on the various methods
that might be used for the starting
of new business and the bringing in
of new people.
He brought cut, however, that the
city and its surroundings must first
be sold to the people now living here
The regular residents must believe in
the city and its future before they
can properly sell it to the outsider.
The easterner was very much in
terested in irrigation as it is carried
on in the big projects in this state
He asked many questions about the
methods persued on these projects
and about the possibilities of develop
ment of the water and power re-
sources of the Colorado river
He said that he could see nc reason
to believe that this country will not
some day be developed on vast
scale and made to produce great
wealth He said that all that was
needed to start this development was
the interest of sufficient capital.
