RAILROADS ASSIST
s..-a.
/ ARMY AIR SERVICE
Identification Markers Will Be
F., Placed Near Stations to Aid
Ii Lost Flyers.

The board of directors OF tho Amer
ican Railway Association has ap-
proved the recommendation of q spe-
cial committee that a number Of
railroads cooperate with the Army
air service in establishing markers
and other means of Identification on
and about railroad stations for the
guidance of flyers; 1t was learned to-
day.
Tho air service. through Capt Bur-
dette 8. Wright, chief OF the airways
section, sought permsson to place
rH"@~' IN "o~tain instances to paint
the names OF towns on the roofs of
H., - or frelbnt depOtS or other
suitable railroad buildings, and re-
quested the rearrangement of sta
70 rs to bring them out from under
lac caves ana increase their visibil-
ity from the air.
For the present action Is being
taken on the foregoing points on the
Ohio. Chicago. Rock Island and Pa
cific: Illinois Central. Union Pacific.
Southern Pacific. Pennsylvania. New
York Central. Chicago and North
western. Chicago: milwaukee and st.
ern and Western Pacific =
The reason advanced by the air
service for desiring the installation
of markers Is as follows:
"A pilot has become lost or bewil-
dered because of low fog or other
wise. and flies In some direction un-
til he picks up a railroad track. He
follows this railroad until he sights
one OF the Identification marks, which
is located on the right hand side of
the track and on the outskirts Of the
city. He Immediately locates himself
and will not have to pass over the
his own life and the lives of others
by hitting some high tower or build
ing hidden by low fog"
