meet requirements of the state and
federal laws, and pilots who cannot
procure licenses will not be allowed
to fly in Montana, Capt. Wilbur R
Wright, department Of commerce in
spector, said. Captain Wright recently
established headquarters at Butte for
airplane inspection in Montana, Wy
oming and Idaho.
"The department wants closer SUI
pervision of flying in this territory :
said Captain Wright. '4It It has been re-
ported that many planes were being
used which have not been licensed
by the department and that many un-
licensed pilots are flying.
This must be stopped as nrotec-
tion TO the public. Pilots who are
competent will receive license, as will
planes which have passed inspection,
so tha. regulatory measures will not

Albert Peterson Leading In
Refrigerator Sales For
Territory.
DOUBLES QUOTA
rs COMPLIMENTED

Glenn l.. Jackson, sales manager
of the Mountain States Power COM
pany, paid Albert Peterson, local
salesman, high compliment last
week when he announced that Al
is leading the territory in refrigera-
tor sales for the month of June.
The June contest Is in General Elec-
trio refrigerators, each salesman hav-
ing certain quota. This quota is
based upon the number of accounts
in each community. In Libby there
are some TOO accounts, or meter con-
nections, the Libby quota being six
refrigerators. To date AL has sold
IL refrigerators, or is 200 percent
ahead. This places him first in the
territory which includes some, 265
towns and community in Washington,
Idaho, Oregon, Montana, South Da-
kota and Wyoming
All was the first salesman to reach
his quota, and has maintained this
lead since the beginning of the con-
test. Prizes are to be awarded and
a cash bonus is given at the end Of
each year, in proportion to sales
made.
That Mr.. Peterson is very able
salesman is to be further realized
when it Is understood that most COM
munities in the territory have some
1000 accounts, whereas Libby has but
about one-third that number. He has
been salesman for the local office
for the past year, serving as book
keeper for the company before. That
his many friends are congratulating
him on his aggressiveness goes with
out saying.
"Mr. F. B. Connelley of Billings,
distributor for General Electric re-
frigerators in this district, has COM
plimented AL very highly on his SELL
ing ability" said Mr.. Russell, man
ager Of the Libby office, in comment
ing upon this achievement.
A salesman in Greybull, Wyoming
stands second in the contest, which
ends this Saturday, June 20.

AIR MAIL is TAKEN
FROM PHILADELPHIA
Failure to Put Landing Field in
Better Condition Cause Of
Postal Action.

Assistant Postmaster General Glover
today authorized the Pitcairn Aviation
Inc. to move the air mail terminal
at Philadelphia from the present land
ing field to the Central Airport near
Camden, N. j.
Mr.. Glover said the change would be
effective September Is.
The Pitcairn company, he continued
has represented to the Post once De-
partment that in Winter weather the
condition of the landing area at the
Philadelphia field would be such as to
make It dangerous for their pilots to
use this field for night or day opera
tions.
The Post ONCE Department about a
year ago informed the mayor and post
master at Philadelphia that unless the
Philadelphia air field was put in better
condition and made suitable for use In
all kinds Of weather the air mail service
would be withdrawn.
Mr.. Glover said that the Post Office
DEPARTMENTS interest in the matter was
"centered entirely upon giving the city
Of Philadelphia the best possible type
of air mail service and in making GER
tain that the facilities available are of
such nature as to make 1t safe for
day or night landings during all sea-
sons of the year."
Mr.. Glover asserted It would be pos
sible to place mail in the Philadelphia
post office from the Camden Airport Is
minutes sooner than from the Phila-
delphia field.

Larger Debt Payments.

tish delegation. by letter and otherwise.
within the past "a hours has made
known to other nations participating In
the conference to make the Young plan
effective that its ultimatum still stands.
and 1t will not accept the Young plan
without an increased share of German
reparations.
1t was made known also Philip Snow
den, British chancellor of the exchequer,
intended to demand action on his reso-
luton for revision of the Young plan
and would brook little further delay.
Intimate personal conversations between
the delegates continued anyway, with
the hope of finding some way out of the
deadlock.
No Compromise.
Mr.. Snowden was understood to have
given this warning to the other dele
cations because the talk of offers and
concessions had created in England the
impression a compromise was being con-
sidered. The chancellor. while willing
to consider reasonable proposals, wanted
to forestall any impression which might
have taken root in consequence Of the
talk OF offers which might or might not
prove acceptable.
The progress Of negotiations In the
political committee of the conference
with reference to evacuation of the
Rhlneland had given rise to the argu-
ment that II the French and Germans
could agree on this nraver rlleSfioy, n
would not be possible for anybody to
stand out against agreement in the
financial committee on the matter of a
comparatively small sum of money.

afternoon when one Of the landing
wheels on his airplane broke as the
plane was landing at the Congressional
Airport on the Rockville Pike. He was
thrown against brace on the plane
and was cut over the eye.
jenkins was plotting the plane at the
time Of the accident. He said he at
tempted to make landing on slight
incline at the airport when one of the
front landing wheels gave way. and
whipped the plane around suddenly
into what aviators call ground loop"
Spectators who witnessed the accident
rushed to the plane to aid jenkins. but
ne jumped out and smiled. Aside from
the broken wheel, which will have to be
replaced. he said cursory examina-
ton revealed no further damage to the
plane
Although, cut above the eye jenkins
declined medical attention, and later
drove his automobile to his home on
upper Sixteenth street. He described
the accident as trivial. inconsequen-
tial thing"
The plane is the latest cabin type
Stimson Detroiter and was purchased
by the inventor primarily for pleasure
trips. Several features we're added
however. for experimental purposes.
Jenkins Is regarded as an expert pilot
and has flown the plane over Washing
ton and nearby Maryland and Virginia
on numerous occasions. Recently he
took a trip in it to Indiana, accom-
panied by Mrs. jenkins.
