Behind all this mechanical network
that viii make possible the night flying
of the mails lies an absorbing story OF
humanity and the efforts put into getting
the land for the beaeons. The men OF
the Bureau OF Lighthouses needed to
put large amount Of saleSmanship into
the task OF having reluctant farmers
agree to leasing the land on which TO
place the nocturnal sentinels for the
airmen.
Among the arguments used on the
farmers we're that the flashing beacons
win reduce the possibility of chicken
stealing. Some farmers were afraid
that the placing of beacons on their
farms would mean that their pigs and
cattle would be scared. but the Light
house Bureau men calmed their fears.
Women and children are given major
| credit in getting the string OF beacons
placed down through Dixie. The Gev-
ernment men found on many occasions

The chief plank i'll the platform of
Uncle Sans concern for aviation may
be summed up in the simple phrase,
Prevention of air accidents" The
need for this was evident with the
incredible increase of the traffic. and
with the passing OF the air commerce
act of 1926. the means was soon at
hand and an organization OF aviation
experts was assembled by Secretary
Hoover, with William r. MacCracken, q
skilled pilot. appointed as Assistant
Secretary of Commerce Tor AeronautieS.
This new and vitally important
branch of the Government was thus
inaugurated under the happieSt aus
pices little more than year ago.
and the group Of noted aviators and
technical aviation experts ON the stan
Is now actively enforcing the United
States air commerce regulations.
In the good old days that We hear
SO much about they did not know as
much about spins as they do now. So
the flying student was sometimes told;

head in the cockpit, and when YOU
hear the wires spin look out,
In this new era nothing like that can
pass the critical glance of the menu
