A prize of $4,000 was offered by
the late Thomas II. Ince. in 1919,
for the first trans-Pacific flight. Ed
die Rickenbackef was one of several
who planned to make the flight, but
the offer expired before any planes
were ready.
On of the things that makes the
Pacific flight more attractive to avia-
tors now is success Lindbergh had
with his earth indnctor compass, the
invention of Maurice Titterington.
The compass measures the angle
between the brushes of the genera.
tor of the compass and the earth s
magnetic field and enables the pilot
to set his course at any angle to
these lines of force. which point to
the magnetic north. Power for the
generator comes from little wind
wheel set through a hole in the fuse
lage. Tie compass is affected by
magnetic variations just as a ships
compass is, but 1t does not swing
with the motion of the ship. The
entire outfit weighs thirteen pounds.

so, and fluctuating between that
and 81 cents, lead standing still,
zinc rising 20 points to 6.45 and
copper dropping to IL 7-8 cents.
The silver. buying movement
Is lagely speculative, as the re
commendation of the India Cur.
rency Commission is now being
discussed before the Indian LIE
gislature at Delhi. and the in
creasing price indicates that
those who are studying the sit
uation believe the sentiment is
against the adoption of their re.
concentrations.
Due to the fact that about two.
thirds of the silver production
goes to India and China, the con
ditions within those countries re.
feet quite directly upon the silv.
er situation. Some see q better
silver future in the present Chin
ese troubles, arguing that the
real issue in China is industrial
advancement, and with industri
al advancement will come q de
mand for more silver than can

KEEP THE AUTO TOURIST IN
ARIZONA

The figures of the highway de
partment show that thousands of
cars every month in the year are
dashiHg across the state of Ari
zona. Ninety five per cent of
these cars are bent on arriving
in California at the earliest op
portunity. They give little
thought to Arizona and general
observation of service stations
and other places where they are
forced to stop. discloses the gen
eral lack of effort to keep them
in Arizona.
The majority of these travel.
ers go through our state spend.
ing just as little money as they
possibly can, so they will have
the more to spend when they
rach their journeys end. It is
conservativeIy estimated that
these auto tourists spend SIS,
OCO, 900 each year in the state.
even at the rate they travel
through it. The amount they
would spend If they could be in
duced to see the sights in Ari
zona, that are worth seeing,
would run into the hundreds OF
millions.
It is time that we made q con.
certed attempt to keep these
tourists with US just as long as
we are able. We have q loop trip
in the state, commonly known as
the Arizona Wonder route with q
Thousand scenic wonders that
cannot be equaled anywhere in
the world. If every person in
the state who comes in contact
with these auto tourists would do
his best to interest them in div.
erting from their mad rush to
California long enough to see
| Arizona in all it's glory, thous
ands could be induced to spend q
week or two longer in our state.
We have a wonderful road sys.
tenn, now practically complete,
connecting these scenic marvels.
One of the most important links
| missing in. the highway chain ia
the Rise-Springerville road. A
bill is now in the legislature ap
propriating $1,000 to complete
this link. then there will be nc
reason for any tourist, either
from the north or south, east OF
west for not making the swing
around the circle to see the
points of interest in the state
that far exceed anything they
may be rushing to, no matte,
where they may be.
Let's get on the receiving end
Of the game. by each and every
Arizonan boosting our states
scenic and highway advantages
to every tourist we meet and
urging them to see Arizona first
and then the rest of America il
they feel they must.
