Powerful Beacon Lights to Guide Fliers at Nidit O U. S. Air Mail Pilots Plan l\ew York-San Francisco Flight in 58 Hours. (Continued From rate One.) Is auxiliary status to be worth main taining. Through service from coast to coast will put air mail on the basis of an independent postal service. Up on the efticiency of through trans continental service depends the ulti mate value of the air mall. Many Problems. Two years have proved that day flying with the malls can be operated satisfactorily. Encountering all kinds "f weather, the air mail pilots com plete 95 per cent of the trips sched uled', totaling 2,000,000 miles annual ly. Upon night service the future of a.r mail hinges. But night service presents many problems, and the Postofflce department was unwilling to start night flying until It could assure a reasonable factor of safety to its pilots. As a result of the preparations undertaken duning the last 12 months by the division of air mall, night flights between Clflcago and Cheyenne, Wyo., will be made under conditions which offer scarcely more hazard than day Hying. The pilot will be guided by a pathway of powerful beacons capable of piercing through difficult atmospheric conditions, pointing the way unerringly over the prairie to the terminal Helds. Each plane will t arry powerful searchlights available for forced landings in case of neces sity. Emergency fields have been located and lighted every 25 miles on , the route. In addition to these pre lautionis and many others the prac ticability of night flying is insured hy the natural advantages of the terrain over which the pilots must guide their planes. The plains country i^, of course, noted for its levelness, for tunately providing natural landing fields, while the lack of humidity in the air lends this route to the il lumination plan. •00,000,000 Candlcpower. Millions or persons In the middle west will nightly witness an artificial aurora borealis, visible fully 50 miles Iroro its source under good atmos , pheric conditions, when the night service of the air mail gets under way. This will be created by sweep ing lights which will he established on the five regular fields, Chicago, Iowa City, Omaha, North Platte and Cheyenne. Each of these beacons will have 600,000,000 candlcpower. The air mail beacons will be quite different from the shore lighthouse beacons which guide the shfps of the sea. To suit the needs of ship* of tlie air, they will swing around on the lop of their towers, throwing a beam three degrees above the horizon, three complete revolutions being made very minute. Pilots can easily pick lip these giant beacons and guide their planes to the field. The lights will he operated only at hours when a plane is expected. Not depending alone <5n terminal lights, the Postofflee department is locating lees powerful beacons every ilies>ilong the route. Like their brothers, they also will swing around the horizon, but their visibil ity is limited to about 30 milts. These smaller beacons will mark the emer gency landing fields to which a pilot can descend in case of necessity. Traffic Eights. But the pathway of light is not complete yet. When the "ceiling" is low: that is, to translate the language of the pilots, when the clouds hang low, it may be necessary for a pilot to bring his plane close to the land and there is a possibility that he might lose sight of the emergency field beacons. As a final safeguard, flashing traffic lights, like those which sre placed on city streets, hut whose • light will lie directed toward the skies Instead of along the surface of the ground, will be located every three miles along the line of flight. Thus on a clear night, the air mail pilot 7.000 feet up in the blue-blackness of the heavens, will see a narrow line of light stretching for miles and miles over ‘he level prairies. Representatives of the division of sir mall of the Postoffioe department have investigated thoroughly the route over which the night service will he operated and have located the emergency fields in convenient places. Besides having a swing beacon, these fields will be leveled and the buildings and other obstacles marked with red lights to make a plane land ing easy. It^ is estimated that the pilots will ordinarily fly at an alti tude which will make it possible for them to volplane to the nearest emer gency field at any point on the route, should the engine go dead. Emergency Fields. These fields are located at or near the following placet: Batnvln, III.; Mc Girr, 111.; Franklin Orove, III.; Bock Falls, 111.; Cordova, 111.; Donahue, (Dixon) la.; Moscow, la.; Williams burg, la.; Montezuma, la.; Reasnor, la.; Carlisle, la.; Bonneville, la.; Casey, la.; Atlantic, la.; Oakland, la.; Wahoo, Neb.; Garrison, Neb.; Htromiberg, Neb.; Central City, Neb.; Grand Cen tral, Neb.; Shelton, Neb.; Bexlngton, Neb.; Gothenburg, Neb.; Paxton, Neb.; Brule, Neb.; Chapptll, Neb.; Sidney, Neb.; Potter, Neb.; Kimball. Neb.; Pine Bluffs, Wyo. The humming of the deep-toned lib erties putting power Into mall planes, invisible In the night sky, will remind the men who were In France of the bombing expeditions over German "UJes There was courage-demanding Hanger In every mile of thoss ex peditions. No lights guided the big I fandley Palga machines. lights would have been an aid to the enemy. No emergency fields were prepared for them. If an engine faltered the crew and plane crashed to denth and de struction. Even the lighting of land ing fields In the days of the war was Insufficient and unscientific. Post office department experts. In co-opera tlon with army experts, have been steadily st work contriving and ex perimenting In all phases of the prob lem of night flying. The experimenta tion la not completed yet, but a code of lighting for plane and field to safe guard the pilots and facilitate night tlylng has been worked out. Can’t Walt on Weather. In some wavs the problem before the air mall flyers Is more difficult , than the duty of the heroic pilots of the war days. Bombing expeditions of the war seldom lasted more ihan four or five hours, but the postal pilots must fly steadily from sunset to duwn. Bombing expeditions waited for Just the right kind of weather. The night flights of the postal planes cannot wait upon the will of the winds, but must taken conditions as they find them. Almost one-third of the day flying Is made through snow, rain, hail or fog and It is probable that the night flyer will not find conditions differ ent. Ret ns take a look at the Maywood Held, Chicago, III., at night. The huge field Itself will be outlined with lights spaced about 200 feet apart. A 50 foot windmill tower will support the J great beacon steadily swinging aronud i the skies. The hangars and airp'ane shop stand out In daylight-perspective illumined on every side by gooseneck ] floodlights ,such as are used on blll : boards. Any large chimneys or other | tall obstacles in the vicinity will have j warning red lights. In one corner | of the field is a large illumined “T" ' which turns In the wind. This gives 1 a pilot wind direction. i Picturesque Scene. On top of the hangars another type ! of flood light throws a pattern of light on the field. This light is placed i high enough to prevent any glare in the eyes of the pilot. Experiments prove that a pilot can land directly I facing the beam without any difflcul | ty. Two cinder runways, 2,000 feet \ lsng, bisecting the field, are outlined with lights sunk in the ground and covered with glass and a heavy Iron grating. Having taken a midnight glance at the field, let us take a look at the mail plane which has Just arrived from Iowa City. On the lower wing Ups of the plane are two lights, small but powerful, each, of which produces j 250,000 ■ candlepowfr. These a pilot j uses in an emergency to light up ob I stacles. Red and green navigating lights as well as the lighted cockpit | and the red glare if the exhaust lend pieturesqueness to the scene which : will be typical in a few months. With the establishment of night fly ing it will he possible,to send a letter direct from San Francisco to Chicago 1 or New York, or the reverse. letters I which were marked ‘‘via air mail” i were formerly given preference In the I air mail advancing system, but there was no guarantee that the letter would make its entire journey by plane. ! Since the Postoffice department Is anticipating a considerable use of this fast service by the public, It is re garded as/probable that the establish 1 ment of through.service from coast to coast will be accompanied by the an nouncement of the use of a special airplane stamp. Such a stamp would he sold at a price which would com pensate for the fast service, and would guarantee transportation by plane. Two Purposes. Two purposes will he served by the establishment of through transcon tinental air mall service; the public will receive yie fastest mall service known to man over extensive dis tances and, secondly, another step will he made In the United States pioneer work in the field of aviation; a task which Is one of the chief reasons for the establishment of air mail service. Rast year the mail personnel won recognition for the greatest achieve ment In American aviation by flying 2,000.000 miles on the transcontinental route for an entire year without a* fatal accident. Night flying, If It is successful, will be another feather In the cap of the Postoffice department air service. Even though every pre caution is being taken to safeguard the flyers whose duty It will be to travel at night, the liaenrds of this work are not to be minimized. A loyal group of flyers, whose courage has been steeled by many an exploit, will undertake the experiment and If It ran be done by man they will do It. Mexicans Being Given Libraries Education Finding Way Into Remote Parts of Country Through New Bureau. Hot Springs, Ark., April 28.—How education has found Its way Into re mote sections of Mexico through es tablishment of libraries under the newly created direction of Popular j Libraries, was told by Miss Luz Gar cia Nunez, delegate from Mexico, In an address tonight before the Amerl j can 'Library association. “While we have been functioning as a bureau of the Mexican depart-. | inent of public education lesa than two years, we have founded a great j number of libraries, many in the lso i latwl aections of our country," Miss j Nunez said. "Not so long ago few would have thought that the peoplo in those districts could have an lnsti j tutlon of such a nature. Iiut once the department of publio education ’ was established and we were made a branch, the added sphere of action, l coupled with he department’s cunnec i lions with the laboring and popular 1 classes, has developed Into a great social possibility. Popular libraries were unknown In Mexico before our bureau was made a part of the Nation al university and later a branch of j tha educational department." John F.

(Continued From Page One.) of complete recovery en<l lived many years as a monument to the skill of the young doctor. The latter, with his happy start and by the continued prac tice of the same kind of common J sense, not only became known to the whole Miami valley, but actually be- | came a national figure. It was the case of a man who founded a career ! on faith In the beneficent quality of the normal operations of nature. This story is not a fable, hut the , actual record of a map, who before his death some years ago, was known by name and fame to the entire coun try. That tale was famliar to Harding as a young man, as it was to every body else in that part of Ohio. In fact, this Is one of the homely sto ries which Harding occasionally re peats on appropriate occasions. It might not he too much to assume that J his personal familiarity with this his- , tory of a life was an essential part of the education of Harding's forma- , tive years and is a part of that phil osophy of his which aspires toward | "normalcy” and has faith that, with ! time and rest and freedom from too much doctoring and tinkering, nor malcy will come. I nwilling fo Fake, i One part of this recipe for the cure I of sick men, or a sick world, Harding will never practice. It would be re pugnant to his nature to prescribe, as a responsible statesman, even for a beneficent purpose, the sort of thing which doctors quite properly use un- I ; der the name of “placebos," or “bread pills,” to satisfy the expectation of neurasthenic patients to be given some sort of medicine. Without making the faintest at tempt at even an outline of a com . plete portrait of Harding, it can be 1 *aid that one of the most obvious of 1 his qualities is a simplicity which In ! eludes both the unwillingness and the inability to 'fake.'' When Harding was conducting his campaign for the presidency from his home in Marion it was his custom each , morning to call in his helpers and go over the accumulation of things to ' lie attended to during that day, the demands from here, there and every where, that he do or Bay this, that or the other. Some of those thine* were complex and bothersome—bothersome I to a degree w hieh reduced some of Harding’s less placid, more nervous, helpers to something like the appre i hension of despair. Harding used ha t bitualiy to end those morning sessions with a sigh which recognized the com plexities involved in contradictory clamors from different leaders and different sections of the country, but always with the phrase: "Well, we won't cheat ’em, anyhow ” The pres ent writer happens to know that it was this phrase, and the quality in Harding which it reflected, that con verted to his support a powerful per son who had serious misgivings a l .nut some other aspects of Harding's per sonality and h.s position on public affairs. Harding No Faker. Harding will never give the world any bread pills. There is not enough artfulness in him to prescribe any j combination of vinegar and water and lead the public to think it will do what he knows it will not. The ex tent to which Harding will ever imi tate that Miami valley doctor will be 1 limited to basing hi* course on the theory that the world is being "over doctored." and. for him-clf. g”ing on . the assumption that the best service he can do for the world is to refrain from adding anything more to »ht ma«s nf drugs, panaceas and cure-all*. Harding will never ' fake'' the pub lie a boot anything. The furth*«: he will ever go toward lack of complete 1 frankness is that he may not tell the public how fully he relies on time to I change the publics mood about some thing. Harding relies a good deal on time. Occasionally one suspects that he has among his mottoes that which says: "Tune and I cap win against i any other two.” If Harding were al ways to tell the public, on the occa sions when he is relying on the pas sage of time to bring about a <hauge In the public mood seme of the leas patient among the public might feel that in this partnership between time I and Harding the junior partner : throws rather too much work on the senior one. But, on the other hand, this reliance of Harding's on tmu; and his complete confidence that time, coupled with silence on his iwrt. will w irk changes in the public mood— other than this Harding will never give the public a picture of him other I than ho Is. He will never try to ns sumo a personality which is not nat rally his own. line of the things moat frequently said in criticism of Hard ■ mg. or as an expression of vexation with him. is that he "ought to fight for his issues.” or "ought to take a [ club to the senate,” But that is just what Harding will never do. He Would not If he could, and he could not if he would. Men do not change their i«er sonalltie* at the age of 56. Harding will go through to the end on lus natural temperameat of'tolerance, pa tience and reliance on time By that he will stand or fall Is in I Msmi vantage. Hardtng will not .-yen practice art : to the perfectly proper extent of see ing to It that the public gets an ne curate impression of his personality ond his ld> is. That is what Is meant when it is said occasionally that liar | din* should have a ''publicity man I agor." It is almost universal with fnen placed as Hardin* Is lo avail I themselves of every legitimate de I vice for seeing to It that their ideas snd the true picture of their person alily git aero-s to the public us they actually are. In the absence of such entirely legitimate devices ns tins and such completely proper care f t muk nig an accurate impression on the public mind—when this sort of thing is left to haphazard accident —It fre ouently follows that the public geta blurred and Inaccurate Impression* of public men. much to the disadvantage of the latter Put Hardin* Is unwill ing to practice even so much art as would t>e Involved In giving thought to—as the expression is—"getting hts personality across the footlights " Of course, tt is possible for Hat ding, ] In going upon the theory that "Ihe | world Is being ovwrvloctorett." to fall I uilo precisely the trier which he seeks to avoid. It Is possible for this phrase Itself, and reliance upon the theory It Implies, to become a cure all of just the sort that Harding shrinks from. You cannot at all times and under all conditions say that "the world *s l-elng overdoctored'' and let It go at that. There are times and conditions when the world needs doctors who use stronk medicines, and deep-cutting surgeons. The presence of some such bold doctor In 1914 might have pre vented the war. It was audacious and much-needed surgery on the part of Wilson that took America Into the war, and to that extent worked a cure earlier than otherwise would have come. Now the pr»s< nt may or may not be the sort of time and condition that calls for strong medicine and courage, ous surgery. But the fact is that, for good or for ill, two of the points of highest leverage In the world are now occupied by men who ere going on the theory that the world has been overdoctored, that what is needed for healing Is time and the curative ef fects of letting things take their i nurse to their natural ends. One of these men is Harding; the other is Bonn r ^.iw. It has been the policy of both of them, once the French determined ■** their Ruhr action, to let events take their course, to refrain from talking or advising. The Ruhr action, once It had been taken, became a contest of moral and economic endurance be tween France and Germany, ao. what ever Is the outcome of that tug-of war of morale, the Ruhr situation must go on without Interference from outside. * ' V. H. to Keep Out <4 Ruhr. It is apparent that the American government will never take any initia tive toward ending the situation it the Ruhr. Not enly will America not take any initiative on its own part it will not yield to any solicitation to intervene which comes from only one of the parties involved in the controvert'. The present tension be tween France and Germany is a new phase of that series of events which started with the opening of the war. It is a phase it) which two nations have tense relations with ear-h other. For an outsider to take eny steps upon the solicitation of one of the contestants would be to bring us the ill-will of the other for a generation to come. When the northern anf southern parts of the United Stater were in the tenseness of civil war. Great Britain yielded to the tempta tion to take step# which were inter preted by the north as favorable to the south. That action on the part of Great Britain led to a hostility against it from the American public that lasted tor nearly a generation. The lesson of this is too fresh in the American mind to permit us to make the same mistake in relation to the present tenseness between France anc Germany, or between France and Great Britain. The situation between these two nations must work out to its natural end. America will not intervene except upon an Invitation in which both parties join, or as part of some broader settlement of world affairs.
