AVIATION GUIDES
WILL BE- PLACED
BY STANDARD OIL

To assist in the development of
aviation, and to increase safety and
certainty of air travel the Standard
Oil company (California), following
Il suggestion from The office of the
chief of air service, war department,
will establish q widespread system
of guide signs for aviators along
the airwavs of the Pacific coast
states, giving the Pacific coast its
only marked airways and the first
of its kind i'll the country. These
signs will take the form of names
of towns painted on the roofs of
the company's buildings. The army
air service will designate points
which should be marked. The com
pany will also offer cooperation to
the naval air service, the air mail
service and commercial filters.
At first the effort will be clearly
to mark the present airways and
towns adjacent to flying and land
ing fields. There are now stab
lished airways from San Diego to
Seattle and from San Francisco to
Reno. Along these routes the com
pany has distributing plants at
frequent intervals. The towns on
these airways which should be
marked are now being selected and
the signs will be painted at once.
As other airways are developed and
necessity requires, additional signs
will be set up.

 It is seventy-tiNe times as power ful as the weak kinds whose popu- larity seem to lie in their weakness and the ignorance Of those who use them.
 A sixty cent bottle e ounces) of Kojcne, will make one-half gallon of a stronger, better and more efficient mouth wash than the high priced doubtful ones you buy ready made.

 Nothing equals Kojene for irriga- ton of the antrum; for Pyorrhea and Gingivitus; for stomatitis, Trench Mouth, pus pockets and all eases of infection. .... Kojene, so we will tell more peo- pie who need it, is four times as powerful as an antiseptic than Car polio Acid. It is much more power fnI than poisonous bichloride Of mercury. aid will not burn or even trritate the tenderest membrane.
