AIRPORT LIGHTS
 ARE UNEXCELED
Hartford'S System Regarded as
 Exceptional

Hartford's airport. now conceded as one of the best in the country and a model for other New England cities to follow in creating landing fields for aviatorS today stands as an example of the importance Of electric lighting in the field of avia- ton. Night flying has lost many of it's previous hazards due to the scientific lighting of landing fields and Connecticuts main airport has been declared by aviators to be one of the easiest fields on which to land at night.
 The Hartford airport was equip ped with lights in accordance with recommendations made by the il- luminating engineering division of the Hartford Electric Light com pany at the request of Captain Knox, state commissioner of avia- ton. The first lighting unit to be installed on the field was a revolving beacon of 1000 watt power, which can be seen from a great distance. Border lights of sixty candlepower were placed at intervals of 300 feet around the field The concrete ramp is lighted by 4,o00 watt flood light proiectives, while the hangars themselves are also food-lighted.
 The climaXing installation was that of eight 24-inch landing lights which are spaced in groups of four on the east and south sides of the field at intervals of three hundred feet. These projectors throw ar intense horizontal beam Of ligh across the field, and are SO ar ranged as not to blind the landing pilot When the prevailing wind i! such that the pilot must land nortf and south on the field, the fou lamps on the cast side are lighted and in case it is necessary 10 lant east and west the lights on the SoutE end of the field are used. Thus al possible chance of glare is "lIni mated.

SOLOMON ISLANDS
 VERY BACKWAR
It Is Here That Civilization
 Seems to Lag.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 1.-The solomon Islands, where natives are recently reported to have massacred British officials and q group of na- tive police, have long had the black est of regulations because of the ferocity of their inhabitants.
 The islands were given their pres CT because of their supposed rich ness in gold. But the gold turned out to be worthless iron pyrites, and a subsequent French visitor called them "The Land of Assassins."
 \ Dark, Kinky Haired Race
 Civilization and Christianity have never made any marked impress on the Solomon Islanders. British law has been observed to a certain ex- tent because of fear; but little time elapses in any of the island com munities without a murder.
 The natives are Melanesians. much blacker than the light colored Polynesians of Samoa and the Mar ouesas. The typical Solomon 1sland- CT has kHky, black hair, but in many cases it has been covered with q lime paste made from coral, until it has been bleached to a pinkish tan. Many of the men have sinister expressions and they seem to have a veritable instinct to kill. AS one visitor phrased their attitude: every stranger is an enemy, and it is Of course a virtue to kill enemies.
 There has been no cohesion among the people. In the old days head hunting was the chief con- bined occupation and sport of the adult males Any nearby village was a fair source of heads. If more ambitious expedition was desired the warriors climbed into their war canoes, visited a neighboring island and if successful came back with their boats loaded with heads of men, women. and children. These were hung up in the community club house" or in the canoe houses

An open night will be held at the Boys club next Wednesday evening. when the general public will be well comed into the club to see the regu- lar activities in full swing.

Irresistible Desire to Kill

British control has about put an end to head-hunting, but the desire to kill remains and crops out in method of attack has always been to spring upon the victim from be- hind and finish him off before he knows what is afoot. The first rule of conduct a newly arrived white man learns in the Solomons is never to allow a native to walk behind him. Instances are on record where trusted natives have begged their white benefactors not to walk in front of them while on the trail. The temptation to strike. they assert. is almost irresistible.
 The Solomons, 900 miles northeast of Australia, are among the most re- mote of the Pacific Islands; yet save for the Ladrones and perhaps the Marshalls, they were the earli- est found by Europeans. They were discovered, strangely, from Peru, where adventures, thirsting for more gold, heard rumors of a con tinent close by to the west. The ex- petition, under Medana, sailed in 1867, and managed like the expedi. ton of Magellan, to cross the vast | Pacific without finding any of the many important islands. In the Solomons they had numerous brush. es with the natives, and a number of the voyagers were killed.
 Lost for Two Centuries After Medana's two ships returned 1 10 New Spain, the Solomons were ! lost for two centuries. being redis ! covered by a French expedition il 1 1767.
 1 Great Britain established 8 pro i tectorate over the southern island i of the Solomon group in 1893. II l I1S99 an agreement between Grea Britain and Germany gave the tw' large northern islands, Bouganvill
 and Buka, to the latter country
 Since the World War these forme German possessions have been ad ministered by Australia.
 The total area of the Solomo Islands is about 5000 square mile:
 The population is approXlmatel
 100000 natives and a mere handfr
 of whites and Asiatics.

W0MAN'S DREAM LEADS ID CANYON
Where Emigrants Perished Back in '7O'S

Wells, Nevada, Nov. f. R-A woman's dream has led to the dis closing of what is believed to be evil dence of the complete annihilation. a half century ago. of an emigrant party whose tragic fate was hitherto unknown.
 Mrs. Louise Carone, farm wife, had visions in her sleep of several corpses on the rocks below the walls of canyon on the route of the Victory highway a few miles west.
 She related her dream to her hus- band, Vito Carone, and finally per- suaded him to accompany her to the scene. A brief hunt disclosed an old brass kettle. a heavy rife of ancient make and number Of bones, lying on the edges of a broken rock. Carone moved some of the rocks and uncovered three human skulls. probably those of a man, woman and child.
 Additional search revealed a second rife, several silver coins dated from 1S4e to 1876, bits of harness, saddles, cooking utensils, clothing and jewelry
 1 Capt. Charles E. Davis of Cali | fornia visited the place and ex- pressed the opinion that the re- mains of a whole wagon train, to- i gether with stock and occupants are buried beneath tons of rock which fell from the cliff and con- pletely closed the canyon. He and his aide uncovered parts of q 1 wagon and other articles.
 1 Among Captain Davis finds was g i rock on which the word "Ohio' had been scratched.
 'I am of the opinion that wher this canyon is thoroughly searched it will be found that whole party of overland travellers. perhaps from Ohio. was annihilated by slido which was probably 500 yards wide. he said. "They may have beer wiped out while moving through the canyon or have camped there foi the night and caught under the rock avalanche while they slept"
 Captain Davis is compiling a rec ord of western trails. His searcf of the Great Sale Lake Desert ha. revealed what he believes to be tht remains of all five of the missing Donner- Reed overland party.
