'SKYWAY COP
T0GUARDD.C {.

Airplane flying over Washing
ton today was placed uncer con-
troll of a "skyway cop" by order
of the United States Bureau OF
Air Commerce.
The bureau insisted that pri-
vate plane piA Jts must conform
to the same regulations which
now govern filters of commercial
transport planes. From now on
when flying conditions are bad,
the bureau ordered, private pilots
must report speed, altitude. route
and the type of ship being flown
to the "skyway cop" at his point
of destination.
The bureau said that if prac-
ticable the private pilot would be
allowed to maintain his course,
but if a collision appeared pos
sible, orders for change OF
course would be issued by the
"cop."
Commercial airlines started the
"skyway cop" idea last year in a
voluntary movement. First control
tower was erected at Newark Air
port and now control stations
have been established at CleVe-
land and Chicago, while still
other stations are to be established
at Detroit, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles
and San Francisco. The Wash
ington control area would be cen
tered in Newark, it was believed.
At each point in the control
tower SeveH.l men equipped with
radiophoneS keep in constant
touch with planes and control the
traffic of the Always.

HUNTERS AND sPoRTsMEN

1t seems there has been some mis-
understanding just when the hunt
ing season opens and closes in Ashe
county. The Game Department does
not want to deprive any one OF
hunting, but wants everyone to have
a chance to observe the law.
The quail, grouse, and rabbit sea-
son opens Nov. 20. 1t is illegal to
haul or ship any rabbits out of the
state and violation of the law to
sell any kind of grouse or game
birds except rabbit or squirrel.
hope the hunters will observe
these laws and help to protect game
and build up the hunting sport in
.Ashe county.

 The new route has been recom- mended by commanders of Ameri- can Mail Line ships and has been contemplated for some time,' said Lieut.. Commander O. w. Sainson, in charge of the Seattle field sta- tion of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. ,te s%t
 North of the Aleutians, the ships not only would have the advantage of shorter route, but following wind and sea. North Pacific storms. many of which originated in, the Aleutian Islands, usually travel in circle, and westbound ships in the present route nearly always en- counter headwindS and rough seas. The vessels from Seattle would go into Boring Sea through Unimak Pass and head westward north of the Aleutian Islands, but on their eastbound voyages would follow the old route M
 "The only disadvantage of the new route has been Unimak Pass with it's strong currents and heavy fogs, but the plan includes surveys and new aids to navigation to make the Pass safer The new route not only would reduce the number of miles in the sailing distance between Be- attle and Yokohama, but also would cut down the fuel consumption of vessels which now have to fight heavy seas on their westerly cross ings.

 "On the new course, ships from Seattle would sail some eight hun dred miles westward in Boring Sea before entering the Pacific again and heading for Japan

 !The proposition is interesting as evidence that the liquor interests may be wary of the drys' power and are trying to give them no handle upon which to fasten a comeback campaign.
 Ernest c. Kennedy, an executive of one of the largest distillers' corporations, told a conference of State Liquor Administrators of a 14-point code of good advertising and selling conduct his organiza- ton planned to adhere to, even if it had to go it alone.
 He said large distillers and dis tributors were disposed to keep within bounds of .decency," even though Federal regulation of them had been limited by recent Su- preme Court decisioIs. ys.
 But the big fellows, he said, could not enforce good conduct on the little ones. such as retailers. He seemed fearful these would let their eagerness for business lead them to use advertising and sales methods which might bring down upon them the wrath of the drys and the general public.
