MARCONI GIVES ADVICE Urges Amateur Wireless Operators to Shorten Wave Length, Atlantic City, N .J., June 23.—Gug- Nelmo Marconi passed yesterday hereé _prior to his departure for the wire- less station at Tuckerton. He fssued a message to the wireless operagors of America. “l am amazed at the general in- terest which is manifested by laymen in wireless in America, and I think it wonderful that there are so many amateur sets here” he said. “If I may be allewed a suggestien I would urge the operators to endeavor to shorten the wave length. Today the average length used by amateurs is 250 meters. n effort should be made to bring It down to one meter it possible.

PILOTS MUST BE LICENSED | Washington, D. C. Authorities Also Ban “Stunt” Fying. Washington, June 23.—Rigid air rules growing out of the flying over the Lincoln Memorial of an airplane while President Harding was speaking on May 30 became effective in the District of Columbia yesterday—the first of the kind adopted by any state or city. Probably the most drastic of the regulations require the licensing of all aviators except those in the govern- ment service—such as an army, navy, marine corps and postal—and pro- hibit flying over Washington at an altitude of less than 3,000 feet except when landing or taking off. Trick flying and acrobatic stunts are banned absolutely, at any altitude. Licenscs issued in any other state will be recognized by the District com- missioners, who causéd the regula- tions to be issued, and no licenses will be required for aircraft in transit. - BESSE-LELAND CO.

FIRM EMPTIES OWN LIQUOR INTO SEWER New York Business House Tired of Paying Tax on It New York, June 23.—The telephene bell in the office of John S. Parsons, ehtef prohibition enforcement agent, rang at 10 o'clock yesterday merning and it was answered by a woman stenographer, who called Mr. Parsons to the wire. “Are you the head prohibition of- ficer?"” said a man's voice. “I'm Mr. Parsons, the chief enforce- ment agent for this district,”” was the reply. “Now listen, Mr. Parsons, this is Walter Wurmsley, manager of B. B. Davis & Co. of 250 Hudson street and I have a real job for a few of your agents right hére on our premises,” Mr. Wurmsley said. B. B. Davis & Co. before the advent of the Volstead act did a large whole- sale liquor business, but since then has been a distributing agency for non,alcoholic beverages. “'We are always ready for tips from the public about the sale of liquor. Tell me what you would like to have us do,” said Mr. Parsons. Want It Destroyed. “Now, Mr. Parsons, please send over six of your agents to our place of business and come yourself if you want to as we want some choice brands of liquor, wines and cordials destroyed that we do not want on our kands any longer—" said the veice. ‘‘Say that again,” broke in Mr. Par- sons, who received the surprise of his wet enforcement life at the request. So far as is known this was the first time that the owner of any kind of liquor had voluntarily asked fer its confiscation and destruction. Mr. Parsons delegated six of his trusted rum sleuths to go to the David plant on Hudson street, where they arrived in a hurry in an automobile. Mr. Wurmsley led them (voluntarily) into a rear room, where the pre-pro- hibition brands were stored. ““What shall we do with it?" asked one of the agents. “Take it out in the gutter and spill it,”” was the reply. "We are sick and tired of paying Government taxes on this stuff, which we have had in our stock for more than fifteen years.' “But you don't mean to say you want all this excellent stuff dumped into the sewer? My, this is terrible” commented one of the rum sleuths. Big Stock Gone. The stock included forty-one cases and thirty-five gallon containers of old Italian wine, twe cases of French | brandy, three cases of ginger brandy, {three cases of blackberry brandy, twenty-one cases and twenty-one gal- lon containers of orange bitters, one case of triple sec and single bottles {of imported cordials. The agents, rather closely scrutin- ized by members of the Davis concern, broke the bottles against the wall of the brick building and the contents trickled acress the driveway inte the gutter.

Carl Dixon of this city nar- rowly escaped serious injury yester-|’ day afternoon at Brainard Flying field, Hartford, while trying for a Connecticut pilot's license. His plane made a forced landing on the east side of the river in the Silver Lane section, resulting in much damage to the airship, but without any injury to the young pilot. Dixon had miscal- culated his altitude in attempting a “dead stick landing” and skimmed across the top of several trees, tear- ing under parts of the plane. The accident was the second Dixon at the Brainard Flying fleld. Several weeks ago he narrowly es- caped death when the Thompson bi- plane of this city ran out of gas sev- eral thousand feet in the air and two miles from the field.
