TEXAS DAILY PRESs LEAGUE
National Advertising REPRESENTATIVES


Only q few years ago a tire company, az It's own eX-
pense put markers along the Pacific highway giving
travellers at that time the only authentic information
rs to the distances along the route.
Today. less than is years later, the airplane has
brought O new method Of travel. Few flyers know
anything about navigation or the art Of following >
course without land marks to guide them. AS o te-
suit airway beacons are essential for safety in flying,
particularly at night.
The Richfield Oil Company has adopted O pro-
gressive program Of building 5000, 000-candle power
steel tower beacons IN conjunction with It's modern
gsa stations, approximately every so miles rlong the
Pacific highway from Canada to Mexico. II Is Iaid
that these beacons are visible in clear weather for TO
miles and the light which Eliminates them will pene-
trate fog and mist for n great distance.
Thus has a private company again stepped into The
breach and marked our newest transportation routes,
namely. the airways. and made them more cafe ind
practical for amateur flying as well as mail md trans
port planes.
These heacons would cost local communities thou
sands OF dollars which could never be raised Tor ?
uniform system through several states. Erected Is
they are they illustrate the duty which private indus
try feels It owes Is c public service IN roniunction
with the operation Of It's business which Is OF such q
widespread public character.

The Place of the Dirigible

The globe-circling flight Of the Graf Zeppelin Is q
Spectacular and interesting affair-the sort d thing
that may we'll take hold Of the public Imagination ano
restore the dirigible to the place it formerly held IN
the minds Of men.
A dozen years ago all speculations about long-dis-
lance commercial aviation dealt exclusively with ririgi-
bles. It was not imagined that the airplane rould
ever Be developed to the point where II could tarry
enough passengers and cargo to pay its way rs 2
means Of transportation.
The development Of the airplane, however mas
been 20 rapid that the dirigible has been side-trackeo
jim the popular mind at any rate. The great acnieVe-
nents Of the airplane have made the dirigible look
allow, cumbersome and expensive.
There Il still a wider field Of usefulness for the
diririble. however. The round-the-world Tight OF the
Graf Zeppelin may focus public attention tneW on
this fact. II so, 1t will have been a useful trip.
