OMAHA COPPER NOW
IS REAL AIR PILOT
George Emery, Former Motor
cycle Oficer, Tells of 110-Mile
j an How and 14,000
Peet In Air.
. Canadian geese can fly more than
110 miles an hour, is the positive in
formation brought back by George
Emery, chief quartermaster in the
navy service, who is horrie on a
Christmas leave.
Mr. Emery was a member of the
police department and became well
known as motorcycle officer and
traffic" officer. ' He entered the naval
service last spring, and returned to
his home a fullfled ,ed officer and ap
pearing' in splendid physical condi
tion. ' He said he5 reduced his em
bonpoint 30 pounds and never felt
better, in his life.
He -is in the hvdroaeroolane serv.
ice and it was while neeotiatinsr soace
at a clip of 110 miles an hour. that he
was outdistanced by a nock of
Canadian geese' near the Great Lakes
naval training station, north of Chi
cago.
We do oractive shootine in the
air with a machine eun .and oc
casionally we have some sport with
maiiara and teal ducks which we
could drop, but when we got after
a flock of Canadian geese, I want to
tell you that these birds gave us the
go-by and our indicator showed 110
miles per hour,' said Mr, Emery.
This Omaha aviator said he had
been up to a height of 14,000 in his
ISO horse power machine which he
referred to as a "boat," because it is
equipped for landing on the 'surface
of water.
He traveled 35 miles from his sta
tion to Chica o in 20 minutes and
distributed circulars on Liberty Jay.
"I would rather travel iu the air
than on land any time, it is safer and
one can travel much faster," was a
comment by Aviator Emery.
Output of Bituminous Coal
For November Largest Known
Washington, Dec. 24. While sev-
era! sections of the country actually
are suffering for want of coal, mines
producing bituminous coal turned out
more during November than in any
month in history, with one exception,
the geological survey reported today.
inesc mines are practically one
month ahead of the 1916 production
and if the present output is main
tained, production this vear will be
9 per cent in excess of last year.
The average daily production, the
report says, was 1,872.000 tons, and
it was attained through the increase
in the output in Illinois, Indiana and
western Kentucky. Much of the in
crease in Illinois and Indiana is at
tributed to the fact that the miners
had just returned from the strike in
effect during October. .
Mines in central Pennsylvania.
Maryland, West Virginia and eastern
Kentucky fell below their monthlv
record, while those in western Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Michigan barely
held their own. ..'.. '
The year's output to October is es
timated at 502,091,000 tons.
