UNKNOWN ISLANDS

Mexico Owns Strange Isles in
 the Pacific

Washington, D. C., June 12.-- Mexico's unknown islands, the Revil- lagigedo group in the Pacific, are 10 be the object of scientific study by joint expedition of Americans and McXicans.
 The Revillagigedos, like other little known bits of land off the beaten path in the Pacific, suffer from nasty classification as desert islands," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C.. headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 Less even is known of the Revil- lagigedos than of Ecuador's Galapa- gos or Chile's Juan Fernandes and Easter Islands. On map they seem reasonably accessible, lying 300 miles almost due south of the tip of Low CT California and 375 miles west of the nearest coast of Mexico proper. But the islands are uninhabited and there isno reason for even an an nual csii eby ship such as those made to- Easter Island. Many years go by without Mexicans visiting the islands, and they are seldom even sighted by man except when some wandering vessel leaves the usual | st teamer lanes.

Billion Candle Power Lamps Are

Washington. June 2--"Lightlng ships on their way. one of the most ancient adjuncts Of navigation, has been .revolutionized recently because ships now sail the alr as well as the sea. and the classic type Of lighthouse does not meet the needs Of the air voyagers," says bulletin from the Washington.

 Most Power Lighthouse in World
 This most powerful lighthouse in the world does not rise like its long line of famous predecessors from near the pounding surf but Is situated on mountain top 250 miles inland from the English channel and the Mediterranean, and 300 from the Atlantic. It is not, like the existing aviation lights in the United States, one of series of beacons Sin tho line of travelled route; and unlike many great Lighthouses of the sea, 1t does not mark a region that is 10 be avoided or a channel entrance that is to be entered. It is placed well to the side of the much traveled French air lanes, in such 2 situation that 1t can be seen from g great distance and used as a check on location and direction. The bea. con lies nearly 2,000 feet above sea level and flashes its powerful beams far above most of the low bills Of central France. Under favor able atmospheric circumstances 1t i! believed that the Diion light can bt seen from near Marseilles in th, south, and from the air above Paris Lille and even Brussels in the north
 The lighthouses of the air hav' had a radically different develop ment so far in Americas vast lant areas. Almost the only problem here has been 10 supply we'll lighted hard and fast routes for the trans continental mail flyers; and thi has been so well solved by the pos office department, that 1t probabl will serve as a model for all tn definitely lighted airways of tn future.

 "All of these lights are not shin ing at one time. For the west-bound flyer only tho Chicago-Iowa City di- vision Is lighted at first. The planes are operated on regular dlspatch- ing system. As plane passes over each emergency held the caretaker there notifies the station in advance and in the rear by telephone. When the plane lands at the division point all of the emergency fields passed oveE are notified and tkeir lights arc turned of. Then the portion of the route passed over is lighted only by the little automatic blinking gas lights of the three-mlle beacons, which pulse their signals for weeks at time without attention.

tonaobtle Chamber of Commerce, in
discussing the value Of educational ef-
fort in abating traffic accidents.
Drastic measures must be contin-
ued to meet the conditions as they are
today. but particularly we must train
the children in the understanding of
traffic, in how to conduct themselves
on the highways, and we must provide
sufficient play spaces for them"
