Tortugas Light Station Shown
To Rank Among Most Modern OF
Many Situated Along COasline

Tortugss light station is one of
the most modern and up to date
stations on the coast. IL Is in bet
ter condition today than ever be-
fore.
This was told The Citizen by
II. B. Haskins, assistant superin-
tendent of lighthouses. who has
just completed an inspection Of all
stations on the east coast.
All Of the buildings and struc-
lures are electrically equipped.
The electric light in the lantern is
of 100000 candle power and on
a clear night can be seen many
miles by mariners. 1t is ISL
feet firm the ground TO the focal
plane.
The four dwellings Of the keep
ers and their families are all cleo
trio lighted, have electric refrig-
Grafton, running water, hot and
cold, and all modern sanitary ar
engagements and convenienees.
Telephone System
There is also an intercommuni-
eating telephone system. In each
dwelling there is a phone, one in
the radio beacon house and one in
the top of the light. Heretofore
a keeper had to descend ISL feet
TO communicate with another and
then climb back 70 his post.
The latest in radios can be
found at the station and in the
residences Of the keepers. Gem
munication with Key West is had
twice daily by radio telephone ae-
cording 70 schedule.
However, in the event that
other communication IS necessary,
arrangements are made for calling
AZ any house that may be deemed
expedient.

The radiobeacon starts automa-
tically, sending out its signals at
stated intervals. II is also syn
chronized to begin during the first
Is minutes of each hour. Signal
ling for one minute and ceasing
two.
Immediately this period comes
to an end FOwey Rocks radio
beacon starts and pursues the
same schedule. When this period
is concluded the beacon at Egg
mont Key begins signalling and
continues for is minutes.
SynehroniEing Method
So accurate is this synchroni-
zation. it is said, that IL is only on
rare occasions that one station
will overlap another's signals. and
then by not more than one second.
Power for the electrical ar
rangements at Tortugas is deriv-
ed from three kilowatt genera
tors, two burning Diesel oil and
the other, which is automatic and
generates power for the radio
beacon. using gasoline.
Dwellers on the island have long
since ceased 10 take their strolls

Four Persons Abducted In

BRAWLEY, CAL, Jan. "a
Abductions strained relations to-
day between vegetable field
strikers and farmers of the rich
imperial valley of southern CALI
fOrnia.
Police, sheriffs, deputies and
state highway patrolmen guarded
vantage points in an effort to pre-
serve order.

subsequently released in scatter

apparently had been beaten.
A little later four asserted

The trouble started when
group of unidentified men stalked
into the hotel lobby and made off
with A. L. Wirin, representative
of the American Civil Liberties
Union, shortly before he was to
have spoken to 1900 Mexican
workers.
! Grover Johnson, San Bernar-

also taken by band Of nen when
they followed the group from the
lobby trying to release Wirin.

Cradle Training OF Japan's Prince
Starts Infant On Mapped-Out Life
By GLENN BABB
ny Associated PreSS)


TOKYO, Jan. PA carefully
charted life, leading toyswhat his
future subjects regard as emin-
ence more than mortal. lies ahead
of the infant crown prince of
Japan.
Already a household has been
set up around the cradle of Prince
Akihito Tsugu-no-Miya, only son
of Emperor Hirohito and Empress
Nagako. In addition to two nurses
and numerous servants, a COVER
ness has been appointed.
Public Career Launched
She is Viscountess Sci Osaka,
widow of famous general. The
earliest training of the future rul-
er is her responsibility.
Later a tutor, probably one of
the empires most illustrious sub
jects, will be assigned to the boy.
The tutor of the present emperor,
for example, was that hero of
heroes, Admiral Count Heihachiro
Togo, victor in battle of the Sea
of Japan.
The public career of the infant
monarch-to-be began on the sew
enth day of his life, his naming
day." December 20. Then the big
guns of the artillery of the cap
itals garrison, Numbered the i'm
perial 21-gun salute. Prince Akihi-
tO's whole life is likely to be a
succession of such salutes.
Additional milestones of his life
have been set up. 1t has been de-
creed that on his seventh birthday
he is to be invested with the
grand order of merit and the
grand order of the chrysanthe-
mum, highest decorations of the
realm.
First Born To Purple
At 10 he will be commissioned
a sub-lieutenant in the army and
navy. At Is he will reach his ma
jority and the whole nation will
be en- fete.
Perhaps none of the future fes-
rivals will surpass in spontaneity
that which greeted the princeling's
birth. One special reason for that
was that he is the first of the Sun
Goddess 2,500-year-old dynasty to
become crown prince at birth. The
principle that the eldest son of
the emperor should succeed to the
throne was not established in
Japan until the adoption in 1899,
of the law of imperial succession.
In the nearly % centuries which
devout Japanese believe have
elapsed since establishment of
their dynasty in $50 B. c., the
heirs to the throne have been chos-
en- from among any of the sons,
brothers or nephews of the reign
ing monarch, usually by the ruler
himself just before his death or
abdication.
Emperors Meiji and Taisho,
great-grandfather and grand
father of the new prince. were
born before the present law was
adopted. Hirohito was born while
his grandfather was still on the
throne and hence was only son OF
the crown prince.
But Prince Akihito, from birth.
has been the "Kotaishi Denka, ="
or "His Imperial HighRess, the
Crown Prince" marked to become
the 125th occupant of "the august
high seat" and to carry on "the
line unbroken for ages eternal of
the descendants of the Sun God
dess."
