On the finished chart photographs

I The original chart used in 1917
was simply an outline one OF conven-
lent size. This was followed the next
year by a somewhat more pretentious
chart that had no special aeronautical
features, but was effective from q nau-
tical standpoint, though few light.
houses and whistles were noted.
The present development of the
charts. however, is of immediate prac.
teal value to the aviator, as an exact
course OF the greatest possible safety
is marked out for the pilot, and just
as the driver Of an automobile might
drive over a given road, marked on
his road map, so may the air pilot
rush into darkness along d course
with the safety of a ioming pigeon.
Al battleship starts on her cruise
with perhaps a. thousand charts In her
portfolio that form a huge stack from
which her course may be charted. A
plane, however. has no room for such
bulky information, so all data must
necessarily be condensed and right TO
the point.
At present a survey is being made
Of the. Gulf Coast to determine the
lavailability OF possible anchorageS fol

Speakes at Institute
On Influence of Press

Williamstown, Mass, July 30.-(P)
Public opinion and the affairs of
nations are moulded largely by the
influence of the press, Arthur S.
Draper, assistant editor of the New
DIRK Herald Tribune. said in his ad =
dress before the Institute Of Politics
, today.
He characterized the press as "the
most powerful agent in moulding
public opinion in the world"
Ogden Reid, editor of the Herald
Tribune, regards the press as the
greatest single agency for the estab-
lishment of international peace, Mr..
Draper said.
Quoting Frank B. Moves, president
of The Associated Press, at the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the National
Press Building, Washington, last
April, he said:
IF we could bark back to the days
100 years ago, before the telegraph,
the telephone and many other inven-
tions of modern communication were
invented, we could find that develop
ment in the newspaper field has kept
pace with the scientific and mechani
cal world. The press has become a
powerful influence in helping to
shape affairs of nations. 1t is equally
true of all nations that the press is a
powerful and growing influence
