FLYING SAFETY
5000 Miles of Always to
Be Lighted Soon.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Last
Christmas, 1886 miles had been
lighted on Americas airways. Work
on another 1894 miles is under way
Before next October, the Govern
ment expects to have lighted 3,4O0
more miles, making total of 5000
miles, where night flying can be
conducted.
The Bureau of Standards is do
ing intensive work perfecting the
radio beacon, radio mile post, and
radio telephony and other devices to
make air navigation safe. r
Radio beacon towers constantly
transmit Morse code signals to .fiiers
along the established airWays. When
the plane is directly on its course,
the signal is a series of dashes. If
it Swerves too far to the right, the
signal becomes a dash-dot, and to
the left, dot-dash.
Above the clouds, or in fog, the
pilot can keep his course accurately
with this help, now being used
successfully in several parts Of the
country while the bureau still is
working to perfect visual indicator
of the same sort.
. Radio mile posts, tc transmit a
signal every thirty miles, telling the
flier exactly what point he has
reached on an airway are the next
goal. ~

indianapolis Is Represented
at Divinity School
Commencement.

The commencement sermon OF
the Ryder Divinity School was de-
lvered in Chicago Sunday morn
ing at the Midway Universalist
Church, by the Rev. Fred A. Line
of the Central Universalist Church
Of indianapolis.
Taking for his subject Religion
at Work" Rev. Line said: 1--WE are
increasingly aware that religion is
commanding larger and even
larger place in the thought OF men"
I'VE agree" Rev. Line said, that
man is incurably religious and we
know that his religion finds ex-
preston in a multitudinous va
riety of forms and according to the
ever changing stands of thought.
I'VE may differ widely in our
definition of religion, but we will
perhaps find a common ground of
agreement in the thought that re-
ligion concerns itself with life and
with the here and now, as well as
with the there and then; that 1t is
is a vital factor in soul development,
a force making for sweeter, richer
and nobler life. We are reminded
that the early Christians were
called disciples of the way 1t is
a felicitous phrase. Hear again the
words of Moses in his farewell ad-
dress to the children of Isreal, COM
mending to them everyday religion
which he defined as life, I have set
before you life and death; therefore
choose life

Religion at Work

Religion is at work, my friends,
in the lives Of Tom, Dick, Harry,
Mary, Anna and Elizabeth. It is in
the laboratory of life that the re-
actions Of life may be observed, and
their true value estimated. In the
stirring biographies of Abraham
Lincoln, Gen. Charles Gordon,
David Livingston, Clara Barton,
Jacob Riis, Florence Nightingale,
Jane Addams and countless others,
we read the story of religion at
work in the lives of men and
women. You, my friends, have seen
Jesus partially reproducing himself
in human life, religion at work
under your very eyes, in your midst.
Deals With Life
But religion has to do with all of
life. We praise God with much
fervor in religious meeting. We for
get that we may praise God in
fasllioning a piece Of steel to the
uses of modern industry, in apply
ing the Golden Rule to business
methods; in training boys and girls
in the rule of three, or in the use
of the Kings English, or for careers
Of usefulness in modern society; or
in legislating on high planes Of
Christian consciousness; or playing
baseball or golf; or building home.
"Our religion must be tested out
in the crucible of human expert
ence, in the laboratory Of life. The
proof of the pudding is in the act
ing. The proof of religion is in the
testing of everyday relations.
"A cook book may be filled with
good recipes, but it isn't of much
use If the recipes aren't tried out
from time to time in the prepara-
ton of good things to eat.
I'VE may hold beautiful theories
about God and man and life, but
if we spend all our time theorizing,
we will never get anywhere. We
must needs try out our theories in
the everyday relations and activities
Of life. In doing the will we are
made to know the doctrine" the
Rev. Line said.

When three dissimilar technical
plans were proposed by the American,
British and Japanese representatives,
France heaved a sigh of relief that
she was spared participation in this
thorny negotiation and can wait
calmly and see what happens.
Genuine paciflsts hope the world s
three greatest naval powers will set
the world a good example and agree
