RADIO.
IN WORLD
FLIGHT
Army Will Use None Except
on Last Leg Across the
Atlantic From Hull.

The Army aerial world tour
will be attempted without the
use of the radio, except on the
last leg, across the Atlantic from
Hull, England, due to the con-
servation Of weight, the Chief Of
the Army Air Service announces.
Regretted BY Experts.
Radio experts and some fliers
believe that this is an unfortunate
decision, since through the use
of radio in connection with aviation
greater assurance Of successful
flights and the safety Of pilots has
resulted generally, but the projec'
tors Of the flight do not consider
radio essential.
weather conditions, orders and
emergency calls can be received
inmediately by pilots on radio
equipped craft, and they, in turn,
can send messages as to progress
position and changes in routes, as
well as requests for assistance,
position reports and desired infor-
nation.
One Plane. Equipped.
One plane, it is now planned, VIII
be equipped with transmitter ana
a receiving set at Hull, England,
but what would happen If that
plane should crash, Is not an
nounced.
The radio-telegraph transmitting
set has a plane-to-ground range
Of about 100 miles.
The antenna will be a. single
weighted trailing wire, and the
whole set will weigh approximately
100 pounds.
Six hundred meters will be the
wave used.
A super-heterodyne receiving set
will also be carried in the commu-
nication plane, but no radio COM
pass.

|ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Listner.In-

A few verses from the Bible,
several familiar prayers and two
hymns.
That was the service that drew
millions of persons from their work
and play yesterday afternoon to
sit silently and worshipfully before
a mechanical device.
Within the walls of a million
rooms, unabashed tributes were
paid to the memory Of a former
President and Commander-in-C Chief
Of the greatest American army.
Perhaps some Of the world audi.
ence knelt. 1t would not have
been inappropriate. Undoubtedly
many joined whisperingly in the
recitation Of the Apostles Greed.
There was no need to brush away
the tears that came to the eyes
or to choke back the lump that
arose in the throat. One was alone
as one joined in this audience Of
millions.
Bethlehem Chapel and the cas-
ket in which peace-loving Presi.
dent lay at peace were not miles
away at the top Of Mount st,
Adams. That scene of sorrow be.
came vividly real in imagination as
the words Of the funeral serviee
were read in a voice that carried
to the corners of the continent.
Even a sob that broke the still
ness in the chapel penetrated the
microphone and became a part of
the service that was heard across
the country.
And as at st. Adams the reces.
sional hymn grew dim and died
away, as it was carried through the
air.
1.-THE strife is DER. .
Amen" Woodrow Wilson was at
peace, with the entire country
bowed in prayer beside his casket.

Having waited now for a fort.

attempt to seek out KGO and hav-

We had hoped to find a Tuesday,

But the conditions seem never to

Of Oakland.

SENSIBLE AUTO LAWS NEEDED


In dealing with the problem of re-
ducing tariff accidents there is much
confusion of effort and waste of
ideas, much proposed and so little
done.
In view of the fact that $4,000 per-
sons were killed and 67S,O00 injured
in traffic accidents in this country
last year, remedial measures are nee
essary.
city fathers and police must be edu-
Gated on this subject. There should
be uniform traffic laws governing
motor vehicles instead of the present
confusion which provide a type of
headlight in one state which is UNI
lawful in an adjoining state; which
subject a driver to arrest when he
crosses a state line because of diff
ferent traffic regulations with which
he is not familiar; which require
all automobiles to pass a trolley car
on the left in one locality while re-
quiring that a driver keep to the
right in an adjoining city.
Some states have good automo-
bile law that is enforced and motor
accidents show a decrease. In other
states there is much room for i'm
provement. Inspection is strict in some
states, in others lax and the same rule |
applies to the issuance of automobile |
licenses. Standardization of motor |
vehicle laws will help lessen motor
accidents, s,s.-l 49, -~-

YOUR ROAD AND MINE

The recent appropriation for the
construction of the South Fork High
way connection between Harpster and
Sites will prove itself to be an asset
TO the residents of that section. The
action of highway officials who au-
thorized the appropriation is to be
commended. 1t will eventually con
meet into an all-water grade reaching
from Lewiston to Elk City, connect
ing with the Lewis and Clark high
way running into Montana, opening a
quick means of transportation toward
the east. All Central Idaho will be
benefited by the completion of this
road. 1t is nearly a reality.
The preent construction under way
ON the Grangeville-Elk City link of
the highway has been so satisfactory;
through cooperation of road officials
and contractors, that 1000 feet will be
added to the highway. Not many more
contracts will be necessary before the
all-water grade will be open to use.
This will mean a revival of mining
in the rich Elk City district and the
wealth of the mines, where thousands
of tons of low and high grade ore
only await transportation facilities,
will bring a wonderful prosperity to
Central Idaho.
What proposed highway can offer
better reasons for construction than
these?
