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."

Harding Holds
Opinion World
Is Overdrived
rn
Experience in Early Life Basis
of President’s Attitude—
Unwilling to Use “Bread
Pills” as Cure.
(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.

Washington. April 28—To benefit

future generations, the American As
sociation for the Advancement of Sci
ence, the largest scientific body in
the world, has proposed establish
ing an international system of muse
ums of the original American wilder
ness. Its object is to preserve ex
amples of the primitive :n nature from
the Arctic ocean to the Gulf of Mex
ico, making a continental scientific
laboratory and popular educational ex
hibit covering both Canada and the
United St.Wes.
The l>a?.s for this international sys
tem already exists, the scientist* be

of the two nations No political or
administrative union of these is ad
