In addition to devising the system
OF lights across the continent which
will permit continuous flights, un.

has also contributed numerous in
ventions to the United States for
use in war time.
The inventor, who lives at SCI
Fourth street northwest, was a
pioneer in the field of aeronautics.
AS far back as 1904, while in San
Francisco. he began work on aerial
bombs, detonators. sighting and
firing mechanisms and other devices
for use by aircraft in attacking on
land and sea.
In 1909, Congress was convinced
of the value, and necessity Of aerial
weapons and appropriated $500, 900
for development of such inventions.

PLANK FOR
WORKERS
URGED
Democratic Convention Will
Favor U. S. Employees,
It Is Indicated

The Democratic national conven-
ton will adopt plank in it's plat
form distinctly favorable to the
Federal employees, it is indicated
today.
The Lehlback Redistribution
bill and the further extension of
the merit system" probably will
be endorsed by the conclave.
These are the two platform ex-
pressions which the Federation of
Federal Employees desires.
Urged Planks to Council.
Mrs. Gertrude M. Mentally. vice
president Of the Federation, has APP
peared before the women's advisory
council of the Democratic National
committee, of which Mrs. Franklin
-. Roosevelt is chairman, on he
half of these planks, and it is un-
derstood that the council will recon-
mend them to the resolutions conf
mittee of the convention which will
draft the platform.
Interest in the civil service plank
in the Democratic platform Is sharp.
ened by the failure of the Repub-
lican convention in Cleveland to
adopt the kind of an. expression
urged by Luther M. Steward and
other representatives of the. Fed.
Grafton. The Cleveland convention
limited its recommendations on the
civil service question to a declara-
ton in favor of the merit system
affecting postmasterships.
The broader declaration desired by
the Federation Of Federal employees
points to the extension of the civil
service principle to virtually all
positions in the Government EN-.
ploy, and is in accordance with the
position of the Civil, Service Com
mission on this point:. While 1t car
ries no reference to specific legis-
lation, declaration of this sort is
generally interpreted as meaning
that the major positions in Govern
ment employ. as well as the rank
and file Of them, shall be covered
by the civil service principle.
The Endorsement of the Lehlbach
bill by the Democratic convention
is confidently looked forward to. So
far as can be ascertained. there is
little or no opposition to it, and the
question involved is non-political.
The Democratic convention will
be attended by one of the largest
labor delegations ever seen at a
political gathering Of this type. All
Of the organizations included in the
American Federation of Labor prob
ably will be represented at it's pro-
ceedings.

 CONGRESS IN PERU.
Geographic Society Vice Presi- dent Sails for Scientific Meeting

New York, Dec 1s. - John Oliver LaGorce, vice president of the National Geographic society, has sailed from New York to at- tend the Third Pan-American Sci- entihc Congress to be held in Lima, Peru, December 20 to January 2. He Is a member of the United States delegation to the congress.
 MT. LaGorce will convey to the congress the greetings of the Ma tional Geographic society and also of the Association of American Geographers who will be meeting In the National Geographic society headquarters in Washington while the Pan-American Congress is in progress. He will deliver an ad- dress before the congress on the far-reaching contributions Latin America has made to science and to humanity.
 "The gifts of Latin-America 10 the world are greater than generally is realized" MT. LaGorce said. From Peru. where the congress meets, came quinine, which helps men to shake off one of the most prevalent diseases that afflict them. Peru also has contributed to civi- hzation the greatest single crop that helps feed the world -- the white potato. The origin of the po- tato was found during the explora- tons of a National Geographic so- ciety expedition at Machu Picchu, Peru, home of the ancient Incas civilization, where the hanging gar- dens outrivallcd those of ancient Babylon and where corn may first have been cultivated.
 Our society today Is finding in Mexico an American Pompeli which is revealing tangible evil dcnce of civilization 1000 years old. Not only are they yielding secrets of Columbian times, but virtually every Latin American country, either in resources, in some distinctive product, or in scientific achlcNement, mas contributed to world progress.
 ITO the geographer South Amer ica is exceptionally fascinating. Hundreds of thousands of square miles await transformation from unmapped areas to surveyed re- gions; methods must be studied by which these resources may be brought into production. The for tunes of geography make the North American and South Amer ican continents complementary fin many ways. Their products meet our needs, and, conversely, many of our manufactured products are iF demand among their markets. This not only is a trade fact, but a geo. graphical fact, pointing to an en- during relationship based on mutual interest"
