New York.—Giant night eyes, each more powerful than millions of can dles. will flare up Into the dark when the air mail service begins to span America In a few swift leaps. Gross ing a 3,000-mile continent In a little more than two dozen hours requires great guiding beams — actual land lighthouses—to light the cloud-flecked pathway of the intrepid pilots after sundown. Such bright-burning beacons will pierce through the night-robed zenith in a gleaming row. stretching clear from the foot of Lake Michigan to the southeast corner of Wyoming, when cross-continent mail delivery by air starts within the next few weeks. The dwellers In nearly two sc >re towns will have those permanent au roras for their companions every evening, and will go ;«> bed with them still oscillating high a' ve their heads. The circling columns of light will be come landmarks of tho night, for folk who walk upon the earth ns well as for the giant grasshoppers of the skies. First in the World. They will form the first Installation of their kind In the world—the h~st attempt to illuminate die idghwo.o of the heavens for constant use in the paramount affairs of man. < >n nearly two score sites they will be erected, mounted on slender, steel-legged towers, operated by purring electric motors, automatically moving their blue-white shafts of light, silent, alone, unfailing markers of the aerial road way that will almost can el the thought In Kipling’s classic: "Last !s east and west Is west, and ne’er the twain shall meet.” It was Kipling, too, who wrote “With the Night Mall.” n story of Just such on enterprise as the United StateR Post Office department is about to inaugurate. And now we have really reached the era of night road within Kipling’s own lifetime, so . swl ftly years. The eastern edge of the " larknes gone” on the transcontinental air mail route will be C hicago. There a beacon light of 325,000,000 candle power will be stationed. At the western bound ary of the zone, Cheyenne, Wyo., 800 miles away, another of equal Inten sity will stand guard. Between them will be three others of this size, at points where the permanent landing fields for the night mall are being laid out—Iowa City, Omaha and North Platte. At lesser Intervals, every twenty-five miles, there will be ' -aeons of ft,300, 000 candle power, marking what will bo known us emergency landing field-. Install Thirty Light Towers. These smaller searchlights will be • located at more than thirty places along the route: Batavia, McGlrr. Franklin Grove, Rock Palls and Cor dorra, in Illinois; Donahue (Dixon), Moscow, Williamsburg, Reasnor, Car lisle, Booneville, Casey, Atlantic. Oak land and Montezuma, In Iowa; Wahoo, Garrison, Stromberg. Central, Grand Central. Shelton, Lexington, Gothen burg, Paxton. Brule, Chappell, Sidney. Potter and Kimball, in Nebraska, and , Pine Bluffs, Wyoming. The combined strength of all these powerful rays, if united into one great . fihaft of brilliance, would lie equiva lent to the light of not far from two ' billion candles—to be exact, 1,800, ooo.ooo. It has been generally remarked that the big lights to be set up at the five permanent landing fields—Chicago, ' Iowa City, Omaha, North Tlntte and Cheyenne—are among the largest man ufactured. Their rating has been given at various times as 600,000,000 candle power each, bu* this is In real ity only a theoretical rating, which will not be actually attained at any time when tho lights are In operation. The rating which Indicates what the actual Illumination Intensity will be Is an nounced by engineers of the General j Electric company, ns 323,000,000 candle The searchlights for the five main towers are Sperry lights, manufac tured hy the Sperry company under (renoinl Electric patents. They are high-intensity arc searchlights with j ! HtWnch projectors. The 37 smaller j lights, which have 18-inch projectors J and incandescent lamps, were designed ' and built by the General Electric com i pany especially for this service. These land lighthouses nil represent the fur J thest advance yet made by engineers in producing brilliant Illuminating ap paratus. Seen Fifty Miles Away. The visibility of these lights Is such | that the speeding pilots of the night | mall, 7,000 feet above the earth, will never be out of sight <-f one or an other of the friendly beams. The big lights can be seen at a distance of fit iy miles and the smaller lights will be discernible thirty miles away. Leav ing one behind him, the pilot will Im mediately licit up the next one, so that his course will lie marked beyond | any possibility of his wandering off to j become lost In the darkness of the grei t void. Probably it Is not fully appreciated to what extent these two score eyes of the night mall will be automatic. The land lighthouses will need no keepers. Electrical mechanisms which can be depen b-d upon to run hy j themselves (efficient one-half horse- . power motors on the big lights, one sixth horsepower motors on the small i onus) will keep them oscillating In a : continuous orbit, so that the giant - shafts will always be moving slowly, ! steadily in a huge aerial circle, They ! ; will be Inspected, however, every j t eighty days, or about un-v every three J months, to replace the lamps. i i Nine definite objectives have boon * kept In view in lighting the landing ' : fields.

Poverty Ends Royal Romance of Many Years London.—The postwar poverty of many once powerful nobles has brought before the public the sad ending of a royal love affair. The etory Is the romance of Prin cess Louise of Belgium, daughter of Leopold n., who married Prince Phil lip of Coburg, and about thirty years ago left her husband and her two chil dren to elope with Capt. Oeza von Mattaslch, a Hungarian nobleman. The princess was divorced by her msband, and Capt. Von Mattasich lost his commission In the Austro-Hun garian army. Following the war, money became scarce, and the lovers tvere compelled to move from their palatial residence In Vienna to a small tillage. The princess disputed the will of her father, who left everything to his mor ganatic wife, the Baroness Vaughan, hut she lost the suft.' Then she ap pealed to her sister, the rrlncoss Stephanie Lonyay, former crown prin cess of Austria. Princess Stephanie offered to al low Louise, who Is now 04 years old, to pass the rest of her life at the beau tiful castle of Oroszlar, In Hungary, on condition that she leave Von Mat taslch. The offer was accepted, and friends now have found another home for the penniless captain. Life is a circle of Joy and grief. Car Leapt Into Tree Top.

The Re publicans. In that event, will lose a vote, except In case of a tie. Senator , Cummins is a veteran, having been In the senate since 1000, when he was elected to till the unexpired term of Senator Allison. He was born In Car michaels, Pa., Feb. 13, 1S30. Educated at Waynes burg college and at Cornell In civil engineering, he became as sistant chief engineer of the Cincin nati.

He was a member of the national Republican committee from IS'.Hl to 1P00. “Col. House of Coolidge Administration” Some of the eastern newspapers are speaking of Frank W. Stearns as the “Colonel House of the Coolitlge administration.” It Is certain that the wealthy Boston merchant is a warm admirer of the President. And here’s the story of the beginning of their ac quaintance: At a gathering of Am herst college men. Judge Henry F. Field contended that his fellow alumni ought to show more college spirit and hang together better. “Here’s ‘Cal’ Coolidge, a mighty bright, clever fellow, who ought to have every one of us rooting for him,” said Field. “He used to be In my ,.ffice In Northampton, and I know he’s gig the right stuff In him. He's a can didate for president of the Massa chusetts senate. I'll bet half you fel lows don’t even know Cur Coolidge Is an Amherst man.” Steams, on Amherst *78 man, frankly admitted he didn’t know "Cal” Coolidge, and asked questions about him. A few days later he went to North ampton and looked up Coolidge. Mr. Coolidge w:h elected president of the state senate and Mr. Steams im mediately began working for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. Coolidge* was elected on the ticket with Governor McCall In 1915. Stearns also supported Coolidge In his campaign for governor three years later. Mr. Stearns, with Louis Liggett, A. C. Ratshesky and other Boston mer chants attended the last Republican convention and worked hard for Coolidge for president. Lecturer Earns and Gives $5,000,000 Rev. l>r. Russell H. Ton well re cently was awarded the $10,WX) Pro vided by Edward H. Bok to be giver enoh year to that citizen who has ^ given the most outstanding service to the city of Philadelphia. Thirty-six years ago an Institution of learning known as Temple university was founded by him, having a register of seven students, and resources of fifty five cents in cash. The other day thousands of graduates of the uni versity gathered in Philadelphia to witness the laying of the corner stone of a new $1,000,000 building. Dr. Con well. for many years connected with the school as president, was the chief fig ure. Temple university is a poor man’s college, the university af the worker. Dr. Conwell is a native of Massa chusetts and a graduate of Vale. Dur ing the Civil war he rose to the rank of colonel. After the war he prac ticed law and later founded a news paper in Minnesota. He entered the ministry In 1S71». After a lew years at a , church in Lexington, Mass., lie went to Grace Baptist church of Philadelphia to begin what has proved one of the longest and most successful pastorates in the 'history of any denomination. I>r. Con well is eighty years of age. All the world knows him as a lec turer. It Is estimated that he has earned more than $5,0(X>.000 on the plat form. all of which has gone either into Temple university or to the education of poor young men. Rodgers Calls “Law, Not War” Unsound At the Institute of Politics at Wllliamstown, Mass., the other day Rear Admiral William L. Rodgers, president of the general board of the navy (portrait herewith) was one of the speakers at the open conference on “How the World Is Managed— Diplomacy, International Law, Force." Admiral Rodgers’ subject was the "Role of Force.” He attacked the “Law, not war" slogan as unsound. Ue said. among other things: "It is unsound, for war Itself is an integral part of law. War is the agency whereby law is made to pre vail when It is disputed by evil doers, be they individuals or nations. "The appeal to law and to leagues of nations as the agencies of law can hope to be successful in securing peace only when a desire for har mony on the whole outweights the causes for opposition. In the present I——————stape or wona uevviuimieui, u«? i»uh lie opinion of the world as j whole bus not abandoned nntlonallara. Interna tionalism la not yet acceptable. The w orld must be governed under conditions ue they exist, namely, by nations with divergent interests which refuse to be reconciled. Armaments nre therefore necessary to all, or one armed nation will rule the others. Armed nations are lees likely to tie subject to oppression and Injustice than others." Jut’s Treasures for British Museum Before long the weather in Egypt T will be getting cool enough for work to he resumed on the tomb of Tut Ankh-Amen. which last spring engaged the attention of the civilized world. In the meantime announcement la made by the Dowager Lady Carnarvon that the late earl’s private collection of Egyptian antiquities will be pre sented by her to the British museum. The gift will also Include whatever part of the treasure found In Tut Ankh-Araen’s tomb is allotted to Lord Carnarvon’s estate by the Egyptian au thorities. Inasmuch as the Egyptian govern ment and the French are both casting covetous eyes upoi^the tomb, the value of the Carnarvon equity In lts^treas ures Is a matter of conjecture. • But in giving the Carnarvon^ol lection to the British museum Lady Carnarvon sacrifices the prospect of greatly adding fo her wealth, for the mmm' - ■ > 11 1 earl’s will stipulated that if she decided to well the collection the British mu muu should b« accorded the flret chance to refuse it for £20,900 Would Bury “W. G ” on Old Indian Mound WASIiIN(«T< )N.—There will undoubtedly be a perma nent memorial to Warren U. Harding. That seems to be assured, though so ftjr the gen eral Idea has got no farther than sug gestions of various kinds. One Inter esting suggestion has been the subject of much discussion In Marlon, O., the deud president s home town. It Is this: Adjoining the Marlon cemetery, In the receiving vault of which tempo rarily rests the late president’s body. Is an ancient Indian burial ground, the last resting place of their chiefs. This burial mound Is famous In North Central Ohio, both for Its historic in terest and for Its beauty. The site Is a commanding one and Is partly wooded. This tract Is owned hy R. H. Pur free, one of Marlon's rich men. He has owned It for years and has stead fastly refused to part with any portion of It. Kdward K. Uhler, another of the little city's wealthy citizens, is the originator of a plan to set aside two acres of the mound to bo consecrated as a Ilardlng burial and memorial plot. There Is said to be extensive ap proval of this project, with oners or co-operation on every hand, from the old-time friends nnd neighbors of the dead president, to whom he was al ways “W. <».” Within stone's throw of the receiv ing vault Is the grave of his mother. A massive marker at the head of the grave bears these words: I'HOKBK K. DICKERSON, Wife of (leorge T. llardlng, 18411—1010. Reside her rests the late presi dent's sister. V try Clarissa. She was born three „ra after Warren and died In 11)1.1. Her death, like his, was sudden. She wiy* a teacher In the blind asylum at Columbus. Her own vision was defective, but her mind totally good, and she was highly re garded as a teacher. This Harding lot contains no other graves. A huge j elm tree—one of the most notable 1 specimens In these parts—shelters It. Within view Is a large and preten tious shaft which marks the resting place of Mrs. Harding's father, Amos II. Kllng (1833-1891), and her mother, Louisa M. lluuton Kllng (1835-1S93). Army Air Service to Ask for $25,000,000 ESTIMATES approved by Gen eral Particle for submission to congress this fall call for an appropriation of $25,000,00V for the army air service next year. Based on a report made by the war plans section after weeks of Investiga tion, this appropriation Is the mlml mum figure If the air force is to he maintained efficiently on Its present “small and Inadequate status,” air officials say. Furthermore, the report shows that an equal amount must be provided the following year if the present force Is to be kept from retrograding. Of the amount sought for the next fiscal year $15,000,000 will be spent for new equip ment and the remainder for general operating expenses. If this amount, practically double the funds available this year. Is made available, congress will be told, It will be possible to bring the present force up to a high standard of efficiency nnd will pave the wav for the eventual building up of nn adequate peace time force. Similar annual appropriations of $25,000,000, It Is estimated, will in a reasonable length of time Increase the present small force to the strength that aviation experts believe will be sufficient to guarantee supremacy in the n!r so far as the defense of the country is concerned. The Increase sought this year Is Im perative on account of the equipment situation, which Is becoming acute. Owing to rapid deterioration of planes in service and the unavoidable number of crashes, the constant replacement program must go on uninterrupted. For four years the government hae been using for the most part war equipment, new construction being confined largely to development of types. Commercial aviation in the country, largely dependent on army and navy aviation, has been checked materially. It is conservatively esti mated that within two years there will be less than 300 available combat p.anes in the army service. At present only about 450 airplanes are available for combat use, with almost a negli gible number under construction. Compared to the 220 squadrons w'lth 2,000 machines that France soon will bo able to mobilize and the home de fense force of 52 squadrons called for in the new program under way in England, making a total of 74 squad rons, the present force in the Ameri can army Is woefully inadequate, in the opinion of aviation heads. Plan to Lighten the President’s Burden ONE of the subjects receiving serious attention of members of congress who returned for the Harding funeral—approx imately 40 senators and 110 repre sentatives—was the urgency of legis latlve action to lighten the burdens of the presidency that contributed to his death. Three concrete plans were sug gested. One was laid before President Coo lldge by Walter F. Brown, close friend of the late executive, and framer of the departmental reorganization plan laid before congress. He proposed the creation of assistant to the President to relieve him of grinding details. Senator Edge (Rep., N. J.), suggest ed that more work be put upon the vice president. He would vest him with authority to administer the budget, which was recently added to the president’s duties. Representative MIchener (Rep., Mich.), a member of the house Ju diciary committee that would have to pass on this matter, declared tfce presidency should be limited to one term so there will be no need for so much time being devoted to political matters such as go along with plans to seek re-election. As Mr. Brown sees It, the functions of the president are mreeiuiu—«w»i. polltlci 1 and governmental. The ns- j slstant could take over many of the details connected with the latter, such as the signing of papers, dictating re plies to letters and meeting many of j the congressmen calling with patron age and other complaints. Under the present system, Mr. Brown said, the president has a scant two hours dally to devote to the task } of being the nation’s chief, so that election to this place virtually means signing a man's death warrant. The proposed assistant would he appointed ; by the president and subject tt> him in all matters delegated to his care. \ Under the plan Senator Edge ad vances a simple amendment could be • written to existing law transferring budget administration to the vice president. “With all due regard and reverence of the office of vice president,” he continued, “It has today less constitu tional responsibility than any other high office of the government or any member of congress. If through legis lation the vice president was made Ate financial officer of the government, to him the budget bureau and depart ment heads and even cabinet officers would come to discuss the financial affairs of the government.” America Leads World in Radio Field AMERICAN IngenqKy, Initia tive, and capacity lor explor ing uncharted domains with supreme confidence has placed this country far beyond all others in another scientific field— radio. There are now 560 broadcasting stations in the United States, In addi tion to seven In the outlying posses sions. This is many times more than In all the rest of the world together. For Instance, England has six; France, five; Germany, one; Belgium, one; Czecho-Slovakia, one; China, one, with a few others scattered In other countries. Canada, with 30 broad casting stations and several amateur broadcasters, far surpasses the mother country. Her progress in this line, however, Is probably due to the In fluence of this country, particularly from the many stations along the bor der. “The reason we’ve got ahead so fast In this country is because we're willing to experiment, and to try things out, and then correct our mis takes afterward,” W. D. Terrell, chief radio Inspector of the Department of ; Commerce, said: “We went right ahead, nnd then I Improved our methods ns we found our mistakes. When we found that there was confusion on account of so many broadcasting on the same wave lengths, we got together and adopted regulations that removed the trouble. “An Englishman who came over i here not long ago to examine our | method of handling radio communion- j tion told me he thought our system j wdfc all wrong. Yet look at the dif ference. We have nearly 600 broad- ! casting stations, giving satisfactory | service. “They have six. They wanted to J perfect their system before going ahead. We went ahead first, and im proved our system as we discovered the best ways to accomplish what we were after.” One hindrance to development In foreign countries, Terrell said, ore the rigid laws for radio. In England, radio broadcasting is practically a monopoly. The six stations there are organized In one corporation, and fees are charged for service, Just ns for telephone service here. It Is purely a commercial proposition. In Germany It Is the same. “It may come to a commercial basis here some day,” Terrell said, “hut right now everybody Is satisfied with the present system." Capitol Guides Declared a Nuisance THE tearful protest of ■ Kan sas school girl who lacked the 25 cents a United States cnpitol guide demanded as ' fee for pointing out some of the Inter j estlng features of the capltol, prob i ably will hasten legislation to end a I guide system which. In the opinion of I Sergeant-at-Arms Joseph I), Rodgers J of the house of representatives, and other Washington officials, has de veloped Into a nuisance. The present cnpitol guide system dates back more than 40 years. There are thirteen of these guides, one of them acting as a sort of manager. The other twelve conduct visitors through the capltol for a standard fee of 25 fonts each. In the beginning the guides operated In two Independent groups, one sta rloned In the west and the other In the east wing of the capltol. The -scramble for patrons led'to so much •onfuslon that the guides were consol dated Into n single organisation, di viding pro rata the day’s receipts. If a visitor got* to tbs Whits Hoots, the Stute, War and Navy building, the bureau of engraving, the Smithsonian Institution, or any of the other govern ment buildings, be will be escorted by a guide, but not a “fee” guide, such ns operates In the capltol. The guide will be Just as efficient, but he Is a guide who Is an employee of the gov ernment and whose salary is paid by the government. “No matter from what angle you look at It,” said Mr. Rodgers, “this guide business, as it operates here In the capltol of the United States, Is wrong. The capltol belongs to the people and the practice of permitting twelve men to charge 25 cents each for the privilege of a hurried 40-mln ute tramp through the building cannot be defended. If I had rav way we would be rid of these guides within 24 hours. As soon as congress meets I am going before the committee on appropriations and urge an amendment to the proper appropriation bill which will substitute a system of salaried guides, paid by the government,.with the statin of reaarvt police oAcenk" THOUGHT BACK WOULD BREAK Nothing Helped until She Began Taking Lydia L Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound “When my baby was bom, "says Mrs. Posluszny, 106 High Street, Rav Cit» lilllllllllllllllllli | Michigan, 'T got un too soon.

Well, off hand, we’ll say It 1st WHY “HE” DIDN’T LIKE IT Good-Hearted Physician Had Selected the Wrong Outfit for one of His Protege. Some years ago a well-known phy sician of Tulsa, Okla.. observed three nnsually forlorn, nigged little darkles standing on a corner of the main street. They were dressed in almost any kind of covering that could be either buttoned or tied on, so that more than one glance was necessary before anyone could determine just what garments they actually were wearing.
