New instrument To
Aid Filler On Hop
Over Pacific Ocean

LOS ANGELES, July 8.-P-
new aerial navigation instrument,
claimed by its inventor to give a
pilot at a glance his exact position,
is to be used by Lieut.. Harold Brom-
ley on his proposed nonstop flight
from Takoma, Wash, to Tokyo, ia
pan.
The instrument, says Carl Schenck
of Los Angeles, the inventor. solves
many Of the dangers Of night and
blind flying and eliminates the ne
cessity of a rate of climb indicator
and a bank and turn indicator. The
device resembles a compass with
an indicator sticking up in the CEN
ter. 1t is not affected by centrifugal
force, the inventor says, and there
is nothing to get out Of order, there
being only two working parts.
One Of the instruments is being
installed in the Lockheed Vega
plane in which Bromley, who is a
Canadian aviator, hopes to fly the
400 miles to Tokyo in one jump,
the longest solo flight ever attempt

Radio Beacons Are
Being Extended On
Northern Air Line

WASHINGTON, July 8.-(P)-A
new directive radio beacon to guide
aviators flying along the %transcon-
tinental airway has been put into
operation at Goshen, Ind.
The new beacon lays out a course
due east and west between Toledo
and Lansing, Mich. At Toledo it
joins the course laid out by the
beacon at Cleveland, Ohio, and at
Lansing with the range being in
stalled at the Cicero airport at Chi
cago.
The Goshen radio range operates
on a frequency of 294 ~kilocycles. 1t
transmits the letter "A" and the
letter IN" which interlock to form
a long dash along the curse. In
the northwest and southeast quad
rants the letter "A" will be heard,
and the letter IN" in the northeast
and southwest q%uadrants.
The new beacon station, as well
as others between New York. and
Chicago will be operated in thick
or foggy weather or at the request
of pilots operating planes equipped
with receiving sets.

STONE WORKS
Up TO MINUTE
Brownsville Marble And
Granite Works Grow
Under Wigington

Bringing his equipment up to the
last minute, j. A. Wigington, owner
of the Brownsville Marble & Gran
tie Works at GAL Levee has ordered
a sand blast machine which he eX-
poets to place into operation in the
near future.
The sand blast machine will be
used for cutting and carving in
marble and granite. In the past
this has been done with air ham
mers. When Wigington came here
three years ago and took over the
shop, all work was being done by
hand chiseling.
Wigington says that the installa-
ton Of machinery does not lower
the quality of work done on monu-
ments, corner stones, etc. While
the work is machine made to a
certain extent, it merely puts bet
ter tools in the hand of the work.
man, he declares. The human
hand has to guide the sand blast
machine just as it did the chisel
in olden days.
The sand blast is an interesting
machine. There are several types
Of them but the principle of opera
ton is the same in all. The ma
chine to be used by Wigington will
throw a stream Of compressed air
and sand against the stone to be
cut at a pressure of one hundred
pounds to the square inch. This
cuts the stone much quicker than
was possible with the old hand
chiselS.
Wigington s~pecializes in Vermont
marble and Texas granite but can
obtain any type Of stone desired.
He keeps the two mentioned stones
in stock.
The local business is is years
old. Wigington took it over three
years ago and has made many
modern improvements in equip
ment and methods used.
In installing the sand blast
machine" Wiggington says. I'VE are
trying to give the public what they
want. This is the latest machine
On the market and we feel that
the public is entitled to any reduc-
tions that we may be able to make
through it,"

TOLEDO WORKS
ON TERMINAL
Wharves Being Built to Ac-
commodate Ocean Co
ing Vessels

TOLEDO, July 8.-(P-Work on
the largest terminal on the Great
Lakes, large enough to serve ocean
going steamers, will be begun this
summer by the Hooking Valley rail-
road.
It will be built on Pressure Isle, in
the northeast section Of Toledo,
where the Maumee river joins Maui
NEE bay in the outlying reaches Of
the Toledo harbor. On this site
formerly was located one Of the best
known amusement resorts on the
Great Lakes.
The development calls for an i'm
mediate expenditure of $6,129,000.
There will be a frontage on the wa
ter Of 2 IL miles.
Four slips will accommodate lake
freighters. There will be a con-
crete dock 200 feet wide and $4,000
feet long, a warehouse 1000 feet
long and miles of railroad tracks in
the loading, holding and support
ing yards.
, At each Of three of the slips there
Will be TWO coal LOADING machineS
with a dumping capacity Of nearly
a cal a minute. There will be ore
machines to unload 1873 tons of iron
r an hour, each bucket holding
II tons. The fourth slip will have
space for two elevators and a mill.
Back of the handling and loading
docks will be a supporting yard
with q oanaPjtu Of < O75 oorc Tha
present Hooking Valley docks in
Toledo have a capacity Of only 1000
cars.
The Toledo Terminal railroad will
join the south end Of the develop
ment and will shunt cars into the
PreSque Isle area.
Construction will require a huge
amount of dredging from the dock
line to the present channel. All the
earth dredged will be used on the
fill. back Of the dock line for the
yard railroad tracks.

STANDARDIZE COTTON
TO INCREASE PROFIT

COLLEGE STATION, Texas, July
8.-LP-The growth Of single va
rieties of high grade cotton on a
community standardization" plan,
the Texas farmers means of in
creasing profits, will reach the peak
Of its development this year.
More than 25O,00O acres, nearly
double the area used last year, are
devoted to growing single varieties.
More than 5000 farmers in lis
communities are following this
method so they may pool 'their
product and sell according to grade
and staple.
The Standardization plan has fol-
