S. Lighthouse Service Is Highly Efficient New Haven, Conn.—The United States lighthouse service has con stituted an important factor in the economical operation of highly mechanized shipping whose objec tive has been the saving of time, according to R. R. Tinkham, chief engineer of the service. Established in 1789, the service first operated twelve lighthouses and a few barrel buoys which pre viously had been maintained by the colonies as guides to the principal Atlantic ports. Since then it has grown to be the largest lighthouse service in the world. Most recent of its developments is the estab lishment of the radio beacon. “Changes in the character and distribution of aids to navigation," said Tinkham, “have been as pro nounced as the changes in shipping. Not a few of the lighthouses that have effectively served the needs of sailing vessels and the slower light draft ships of former years have ceased to be of use to mode: ship ping and many of them now stand unlighted. austere monuments to a romantic period in martume his- M Fast. deep draft vessels of today must be guided along traffic lane# and deep water channels specially provided and marked for thorn.

Valuable aids to the mariner de vised since the advent of the mar iner’s compass are the radio beacon and its complement, the radio di rection finder aboard ship, Tinkham explained. Three radio beacon sta tions established in 1921 to mark the approaches to New York harbor were the first in the world. Radio Beacbns Synchronised. “Today,' said Tinkham, “the ra dio beacon is in operation at impor tant light stations throughout the world, there being 127 such rtations on the coasts of the United States. They have been synchronized into groups, accurately controlled by self-regulating electric clocks, so that adjacent stations, whether at lighthouses or lightships, will oper ate automatically on successive minutes and at the same frequency thus affording the mariner the op portunity for successive bearings with his radio direction finder by which he may fix the position of his ship “On all lightships, and at the lighthouse located at critical points the radio beacon is synchronized au tomatically wiCi the sound fog sig nal for distance finding This is ar ranged so that at the end of each op erating minute of the radio beacon, a distinctive abort-long dash of the radio beacon and a short-long blast of the sound fog slgnel are transmit ted ttmultan+ous!?.** By noting the difference In time between his reception of the radio signal and of the sound signal, par- ceieed aa aa echo effect, aa officer of a ship In tha vicinity may deter- mme hia distance from the station with a high degree of accuracy.

It was the most disastrous international cat aclysm in histo ry. When peace was formally de clared by virtue of signatures af fixed to treaties, especially that of Versailles, signed June 28, 1919, we thought we had fought a war that would end all wars. That was a little less than 18 years ago. Since that time serious social and economic changes have come. These changes have chal lenged us to inquire: “What benefit did we gain from the World war? What did we accomplish? To what extent have we succeeded in mak ing the world safe for democracy?"

The drees may be used for informal sum mer weddings, since nothing is more charming, this season, than a cool gay printed frock, to give the impression of freshly cut flowers. An undulating brimmed straw hat completes the attire. The conditions in Europe today sug gest that our ideal was only an emp ty dream. We see the human ac tion in military maneuver that causes us to think anew of the pro phetic warning: “They that take the sword shall perish by the sword." We ask. what might have been the result had the United States re fused to join the forces of the Al lies? No one can conjecture: am! no one can deny that the war ifft noth ing but economic disorder and sor row-stricken humanity. What of the future? Shall the question of another war be left to fate, or, are there definite resources at our command, which, if properly directed, will prevent another world conflict? We believe that such re sources are at hand. One of the attitudes of mind greatly needed is that which will rid us of superficial optimism. The moment we hear . news which threatens danger, some persons cry: “Wolf! Wolf!" Gulli bility may be a virtue at times, but not when it displaces discriminating judgment. We need to THINK and to think clearly. We need to trust important decisions to serious thought and not to shallow emotions. We need a consecrated determi nation to lift the level of public opin ion to that point where it will de mand peace. The strongest power in the world today is the unanimous decision of public mind. Our inspiration and idealism can never be substituted for our duty to work out the problem with fear and trembling. Every in dividual is a concentric circle of influence. His attitude toward peace and his demand for it as expressed in his vote and in his social con tacts will make a very definite con tribution to peace. Responsibility belongs to the individual. Each in dividual must KNOW whether his desire for peace is a deep convic tion or a mere sentimental opposi tion to war. Each individual must be willing to surrender whatever prevents universal peace, whether it "VT EAL likes to take long Sunday morning hikes, and he always wants Nina to come along tramp ing through the woods with him. “But, goodness," said Nina, “Neal can sit down when he gets back, and I have to start dinner. That means I’m walking just about all day long. I’d like to have a speed ometer to see just how many miles a day I do!" Men never realize how much ex ercise a woman gets just in the course of an average day. Or may be they do, because they are re sponsible for most of the step-saver appliances. We’ve just been seeing a lot of those metal cupboard and Cabinets that fit together in units and make the most convenient places to work with wide counter tops and fine vermin proof storage cabinets, plate warmer cabinets and towel drier compartments. Then there is that very impressive new garbage disposal affair that now comes with some of the new sinks. You just dump your garbage down the drain and it is mechanically pulverized and washed away. But there are a lot of step-savers you can introduce that won’t coot as much as these, such aa having racks for kitchen towels in roach of work ing centers and arranging for the storage of various articlao of food in reach of the place you prepare them for cooking.
