Washington. Oct. Nc. Tho Woodrow
Wilson Arway across the continoat'
from coast to coast, has been conf
pletely mapped, and these maps and
report made by tho compilcrs, Mcssrs.
Henry woodhouse, president of the
Aero Club Of America, and Capts.
Russell Hastings Millward and Rob-
ert A. Bartlett. the famous explorer,
will be published. The map of the
transcontinental nirway comprises
seventeen sections between New York
and San Francisco and cost $4,000 to
compile. exclusive of printing.
This first t.anscontinental air lane
was laid out in anticipation OF thru
lights between the two oceans, both
for training and military purposes as
well as for ultimate airplane mail de-
livery. The rout was named the Wood
row Wilson Arway after President
Wilson signed the s640, 100000 appro-
priation for army aeronautics last year.
This first transcontnental airway
follows very closely the line of the
Lincoln Highway between New York
and San Francisco, deviating there
from only where the conformation OF
the country forces road detours from
straight line which are not neces-
sary. of course, to aeroplanes.
Zone Forty Miles Wide.
The airway zone extends forty miles
on each side Of the airline and touches
the most important cities in the states
of New York. Pennsylvania. Ohio, Mich
igan. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska,
Wyoming. Utah, Nevada and Califor-
mia. Any city or community located in
this eighty mile zone will be designat-
ed as being on the Woodrow Wilson
Airway. The zone is to he laid out so
as to make it possible for any air tray
eler to reach the extreme part of either
side of the zone in one-half hours fly
ing. 1t is planned to arrange for land
ing places for aircraft and identiiica-
ton marks in the important commu-
mites in the direct line of the airway
and at the approach to every commun-
ity.
The proofs of, the Woodrow Wilson
Airway maps were delivered from
Washington to New York by air post.
The route as seen on the map is
curve rather than a straight line. as it
follows the great circle Of shortest dis
lance as ships do at sea. taking into
consideration the curvature Of the
earth.
The maps of the Woodrow Wilson
Airway show not only all transconti-
mental rail connections. but also the
Lincoln Highway, various communities
along it, and the location Of weather
bureau stations, magnetic destinations.
etc. A complete chart of all elevations
between the two coasts is included.

Even rs 1t is the case with plants.
so also the human hair grows better in
the light than In the dark. The reason
is because light and sunshine exert a
stimulating influence upon the growth.

ward the window. beard and mustaches
grow much faster on the side turned to

LAST OF BRIDGE READINGS
COMES ON GOOD FRIDAY

The last reading of the course given
by Mr.. Bridge at Guild hall, comes on
Good Friday evening. The music will
be given by st. Marks choir. Solos
and choruses have been chosen that
are appropriate for the Eater season.
The drama is Maeterlinck's three
act tragedy, MARY Magdaline." The
dramatist has, in this play with its
scriptural characters, given an inter
esting and plausible suggestion of the
cause of Judas treachery. The title
role was one taken by Minnie Maddern
Fiske when she toured the United
States fighting the theatrical trust.
Each of this series of readings has
given educational value as we'll as en-
tertainment, and this, the last one, in
addition, has scriptural setting and
association, which draws all who have
an interest in Bible study.
