 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. P. R- Capt. Frederick Giles hopped off al TEA o'clock this morning in a second attempt to lfy to Honolulu on the first ] leg of a projected flight to New Zea- land.
 Hatless, without goggles or helmet, and dressed in a light business suit, Giles donned only life belt as added trappings for the 2,40O mile flight. He carried no radio, no life raft, no para chute or no sextant being unable to use a navigation instrument. Giles trusted a good bit to luck and his ability to guess the amount of drift in the time honored method of dead reckoning.
 He will fly over trackless waste of water which already has claimed seven fliers who attempted the feat. At 7:5O a. m. he was sighted over the Farallons islands, 30 miles out.

CAPTAIN WILKINS IN LOS ANGELES
 BUILDING PLANE
EiElSoN WILL PILOT EXPLORER OVER ARCTIC WASTES FOR
 THIRD YEAR

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2. R-Next spring Captain Wilkins will attempt a flight over the North Pole with several fold scientific objects in view.
 Wilkins arrived here yesterday to supervise the construction oS & Lock head plane he will use in 8 projected night. He said he would attempt to determine whether there Is land be- tween Point Barrow which will be his base again, and Spit5bergen. He aiso will make meteorological observances 10 serve as a foundation for future long range predictions of weather con- dition as far as 10 years in advance.
 Referring to land in the Arctic Capt. Wilkins said Perry, McMilIan and eSteffanson reported sighting land indi- eating the type of clouds but none were able, with the old methods of travel, to follow up the indications. In an airplane we-my pilot, Lieut.. Eelson and Twill be able to cover in a few hours what took the older ex- Dlorers years to attempt If land is found we will land and take observa- tion before going on. Of course we will claim it for the United States
 The ultimate plan of Wilkins is to establish a series of meteorological stations in the Arctic and Anarctic regions where air currents bound north and south can be observed be- sides collecting valuable scientific data. Wilkins believes the expedition will blaze trail for regular air ser vice over the Arctic ocean.
 "The logical air route from America to Europe is over the Arctic and it is not only by far the shortest air line but it is much safer than trans-oceanic flying; moreover, there is nearly six months in the year when trans-Arctic flights can be made entirely by day light and, very important in regular flying, the weather conditions are far more stable as regards to winds and temperature than farther south"

Williamstown. Mass, Aug. Is up
cussion of the Philippine situation
by committees representing congress
and the legislature of the islands was
suggested today by Commissioner
Pedro Guevara. speaking before the
institute of politics here, as a means
OF reaching an agreement on the
Philippine problem.
With the common aims of
mutual welfare in mind" he said,
determinations and distrust would
disappear. In this conference, the
gratitude of the Filipino people
would be on trial and American his
tory and traditions would be at
stake"
Commissioner Guevara declared
that the problem had reached crit

sence Of a friendly and direct dis
cussion."
"America's interests Of the Philip
pines demand an immediate solution
of the problem. This Is the most
opportune moment to undertake the
task of attempting to solve it.
The Filipino people, he said, are
eager to show their appreciation or
the constructive leadership of the
United States, which to them means
the noble effort of implanting in the
islands those institutions which
America inherited from the builders
Of the republic.
In closing, Commissioner Guevara
took occasion to pay tribute to the
memory of Major General Leonard
Wood, late governor-g general Of the
islands.
CUBA and the Philippines were
privileged with his service, he
said. His political thoughts were
always founded on high motives.
Those who agree or disagree with
him cannot help but recognize his
greatness and acknowledge the pur-
ity and honesty of his purpose.

POWERFUL FOG BEACON
NOW AT mitchell FIELD
100. Foot Water Tower SurmOuntcd
With Strong Ray as Guide
TO Night Flying

Mitchell Field. N. Y, Aug. IL w
A 1S0-foot water tower at this
army airport was turned into a
lighthouse for aviators today when
what is believed to be one of the
most powerful neon fog beacons
ever made was installed on the tow
er's peak.
The red light, continuously fash
ing at one-second intervals, is be-
lieved to have a visibility of almost
100 miles in clear atmosphere. Tests
were planned by aviators possibly
for today to determine the range Of
visibility through fog.
The beacon sheds no illumination
but because of the peculiar proper
ties of the neon gas which gener-
ates it, penetrates fog much farther
than electric light.
It was ordered to guide the two
Junkers planes which started to fly
from Dessau. Germany, but after
that flight was temporarily aban-
doned it was decided to install the
light as a permanent beacon.

The New Indexing System.

Preston B. Ray. clerk of the circuit court
for this county. has entered into contract
with the Russell Index Co., of Pittsburgh,
Tor the re-indexing of the deed records In
his Office from the time the county was
created to the present time.
The Russell system was decided upon
after Mr.. Ray and committee of lawyers
appointed by the Montsounty County Bar
Association, consisting of ]. Roger Spates,
Clifford H. Robertson. VIM. F. Prettyman,
VIM. H. Talbot and Robert S. Banes, had
visited various counties in Maryland, Viz
einia and Pennsylvania and inspected the
different systems in use. The recommen-
dation of the committee was approved BY
the bar association and the three judges
OF the circuit court.
The new system is expected to mean
saving of both time and money to all in
terested in property transactions in the
county, and is believed to be the shortest
path to the information in the records of
the clerks Office. 1t will make possible
complete search from the beginning of the
county with the examination Of but sin
Gle book, whereas under the present system
such search means the handling of twen-
ty or more books
1t is also said Of the new system that to
find the holdings of particular person all
such references will be in group In their
respective places and will obviate the
necessity of leafing through various in
dices. as at present. 1t is claimed to be
simple in application and an assurance
against error 1t will mean the use Of
typewriters instead of the present method
of indexing by pen.
The task Of installing the new system
will. Il is said. be monumental. II will be
necessary to have every word Of each deed
read and the number of words In these
records is almost incalculable. II is esti-
mated that the work will be completed in
about twenty months. 1t will. 1t is under
stood. start within very few days.
The Russell Index Company confines its
activities to public record indexine and
maintains a permanent organization Of
skilled indexers. The system is used ex-
tensively in the commercial field and by
large life insurance companies. banks. etc.
The Index Company will furnish bond
for the accurate and faithful performance
Of the contract. which will be furnished by
the Fidelity and Deposit Company Of Bal
timOre.
