Dangers to navigation at the
ocean crossroads off the New Jer-
sey coast will be greatly reduced
with the establishment on August
is of a modern government light
ship on a new station about eight
miles east Of the old Barnegat
lighthouse.
The Barnegat lightship will be
equipped with an oscilating white
light showing eight seconds out of
every ten seconds, steam chime
whistle with a. single blast every 20
seconds and a submarine bell. Later
it is proposed to place a radio bea-
con on the lightship.
The great Importance of this sta
ton to navigators is due to three
factors 1t was said at the depart
ment of commerce in connection
with the Barnegat lightship an

cause the. track of vessels is too
far off-shofe. Second, this location
off Barnegaf is of critical import
ance to shipping because at this
point traffic tonverges from Della

Cape Hatteras and the South At

danger, and will give a safe depart
ure to all vessels.
The need gof lightship off Bar
negat was suggested by navigators
some years ago. At hearings in
New York and Philadelphia in 1919
there were strong representations
from associations of masters and
others as to the need for this light
ship. In the program for vessel
construction published in the annu-
al report of the Lighthouse Service
of that year estimate for funds for
this vessel was given prominence,
and Congress passes an authorizing
act in 1920 which was based on this
estimate. The delay in carrying
out this smuch-needed project has
been due to the urgent need of u.s.
ing lightships which have become
available TO replace older vessels
no longer considered safe and some
of which were over 20 years old.

The funeral of Mayor e. S.

and escorted it to the First Metho-

More than one hundred associa-
lions, organizations, individuals,

floral tokens of esteem. Three
large truck loads and many other

and as many of them as possible
banked in the church before the

LAFAYETTE. Ind, Nov. 16 Ralph Welch, who flashed to the heights of football stardom when Purdue trampled Harvard in the mud, came out of the kitchen to fame.
 Welch is a modest young man with Texas drawl. He waits table ct the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house in Lafayette and does little dish washing now and then to earn his college keep.
 If ever an unknown rocketed to the heights in the proverbial overnight step, it is Welch. whose ripping through the Harvard de fense as a Purdue back carried his name across the country.
 Before that game. he was a student waiter and a football player whose gridiron exploits by no means figured in campus talk.
 All the publicity he ever obtain ed was a paragraph in the local papers of Whitesboro, Texas, during his high school playing days.
 The Harvard struggle was his first college game. He had never been east in his life.
 T didn't do much" he says of the Harvard game. '1 figure that team didn't have much confidence when I first saw it. Anyway. most anyone could have carried the ball behind the Purdue inter- ference that day"
 Welch also is baseball play CT of parts and has an idea now that he eventually would like to play big league ball. He is a catcher.
 He is in his second year at Purdue. Coach Jimmy Phelan recognized his possibilities and kept him strictly under cover un- til his debut in the Harvard game.

VISIONS GREAT
AUTO FUTURE

In commenting on the future
trend Of the automobile industry,
John A. Nichols, jr., president of
Falcon Motors Corporation, is Of the
opinion that automobile manufactur-
ers during the next few years, in
addition to improving the perform
ance and appearance of this product,
will devote much attention to refin-
ing motor and chassis, with the aim
of maintenance and extending by
several years, the active life Of the
motor car itself.
Mr.. Nichols said: '''It is now con-
sfdered essential that every person
have an automobile at his command
to go where he wants and when he
wants,
The time when one automobile
served the whole family and was
used only on special occasions IL
past. Social and business conditions
now are adjusted to the motor age
and the average person figures that
an automobile is a necessary part of
his personal property. Low main
tenance cost and long life of the
car are becoming, increasingly impor-
tant to every family head.
Although the initial cost of auto
mobiles has been greatly reduced in
the past few years, the cost of main
tenance is still an expense that may
be lowered considerably" Mr.. Mich
ois added.
Working in the direction of
lower maintenance cost, the engi-
neering Department Of the Falcon
Motors Corporation has aimed to
produce motor that will give many
thousands of miles of satisfactory
service with a minimum of mechani-
cal attention.
Our engineering and service de-
partmentS are now very much inter-
ested in watching the endurance
records which are being made by
eight standard Falcon Knight cars
| that have been in constant road test
work, in all parts of the United
states for over six months. These
cars will keep running until it is
necessary to stop them for mechani-
cal repair on the engine.
BY constant driving, these cars
VIII show five years of aver .re
motor use in less than one year of
road test work. We believe that
these cars. which are standard in
every respect. will show a new
record for long life and motor per-
formance without mechanical atten-
ton of any kind.
1T is not unusual to find Knight
engined cars running $4,000 miles.
without mechanical attention of any
kind and without even opening the
motor -
