Thus, on a clear night, the air mall pilot 7,000 feet up in the blue-blackness I of the skies, will see a narrow line of iignis stretching lor miles and miles over the level prairies." Few Weeks Will See Con ; tinuous Day and Night Air Mail service Irom Coast to Coast SAN KKANCIHCO, Cul., July 18. Purine the luttcr pm-t of July or early in August, continuous day anil night air mail service will be estab lished between New York City anil SAnj Francisco, assuring delivery from seaboard to seaboard in twenty-eight hours, according to an an nouncement of the postoffice depart ment. Of more than I!,000 miles to be covered by airplane, air mail pilots for the first time will fly approxi mately 1,000 miles at night. With the establishment of night flying, it will be possible to send a letter direct from San Frauuisco to Chicago or New York, or vice versa, the postoffice officials state. Air mail will leave Now York City shortly before noon and will arrive in Clhicago at sundown, according to schedules received here. From Chi cael another pilot will take the mail ' andHitart out in pursuit of the set ting sun. After sundown, pilots will be guided by beacon lights. At Cheyenne, Wyo., the mail plane will arrive at dawn. A new pilot' in a new plane will take up the flight at Cheyenne, wing his way over the Rockies and the Siorrus and glide down to the Golden Gato before the sun again drops below tho horizon. "As a result of the preparations undertaken during the last twelve months by the division of air mail, the night flights between Chicago and Cheyenne will be niado under . conditions which offer scarcely more hazards than day flying," according to Postmaster General Harry S. New. "The pilot will bo guided by a pathway of powerful beacons, cap able of piercing through difficult ut mospheroic conditions, pointing the way unerringly over the prairie to the terminal fields. "Each piano will carry powerful searchlights available for forced landings in caso of necessity. Emergency fields have been located and lighted every twenty-five miles on tho route. "Millions of people in the middle west will nightly witness an arti ficial aurora boreali.i, visible fully fifty miles from its source under good atmospheric conditions, when the night service of the air gets un der way. This will be created by sweeping lights which will be estab lished on the five regular fields, Chicago, Iowa City, Omaha, North Platte and Cheyenne. Each of these beacons will have 600,000,000 candle power. "The air mail beacons will bo en tirely different from the shore light house beacons, which guide the ships of the sea. To suit the needs of the ships of the air, they will swing around on the top of their towers throwing a beam three, de grees above the horizon, three com plete revolutions being made every minute. Pilots can easily pick up these giant beacons anil guide their planes to the field. The lights will be operated only at hours when a plane is expected. "Not depending alone on terminal lights, the postoffice department is locating less powerful beacons every twenty-five miles along the route Like their larger brothers, they will also swing around the horizon, but their visibility is limited to about thirty miles. These smaller beacons will "mark tho emergency landing fields to which a pilot can descend in case of necessity.

A con certed campaign to- obtain recogni tion of Hawaii's status as a terri tory and its rights to the . benefits and privileges enjoyed by states, as set forth in the measure adopted by the recent legislature, which is known as "Hawaii's Bill of Rights," is being waged by Governor Wallace R. Farrington and other territorial officials. The territorial government Is mailing to the governors of all of the states and to each member of Congress a copy of the "Bill of Rights," which was approved April lib.

Four larce narties and many smaller ones of both men and wo men will spend two to four weeks of July in the regions of mountain sheep. They will climb peaks that rear their jagged spires 1:1,000 to well over 14,000 feet above the sea. Pack trains will accompany them to the trail's 'end, from which with sleeping bags on back the moun taineers will press on toward the summits, summits that will be reached at last with aid of ice pick and rope. The Sierra Club contingent, 200 strong, will mobilize in the Yosemite for the first time, until the present day. vThis declaration and its method of promulgation are extraordinary, unique in the history of legislation, the document says. "The reason for this procedure is that an extraordin ary and critical situation faces Ha waii one unique in history." For a quarter of a century Ha waii has occupied the legal status of full and complete political unions with the United states as an in tegral part thereof, but a misunder standing appears to exist in the congress and in some of the execu tive departments of the federal gov and the bold serrated Matterhorn Canyon. The California Alpine Club also will meet in Yosemite Valley, its party of fifty intent,, upon climbing the wide glacier of Mt. Lyell to the rocky peak 13,090 feet high. Later, by means of a steel rope 1,500 feet long, thye will heave themselves up the glaciated sides of Half-Dome, on the summit of which legend says the goddess of the valley reigned oyer the Yosemite.

Aristo Oil is refined by the moat advanced processes, designed to remove everything in the crude which has no lubricating value. Carbon that scores cylinders and rings There's a softer, Yluffy kind Some carbonaceous residue is deposited by all motor oi's. Every manufacturer of motor oil knows that. But there ara two kinds of "carbon." One is hard, flint-like and gjjitty. It clings to the pistons, cylinders, valves and rings. Cylinders pan be scored by it. And chisels or acetylene torches are required to remove it. Causes "Knocking" Being hard and gritty, it acts as,ajl.abrasiveT rausing pistons, cylinders and rmpioear." Small pieces bscomtfincandcsccnt, causing pre-ignitlon so the rrjolrt nocks." Spark plugs become coated. So the spark is short cir cuited and your motor misses. Particles attach to valve heads and seats, preventing proper seating and resulting in loss of compression and weak power. , And this, "carbon" of flint-like hardness collects in quantities two to three times as great as the other kind. v Can Not Wear The small residue which Aristo Motor Oil deposits is of a different kind. It is soft and fluffy. Most of it blows out with the exhaust. What is left is softer than the metal of cylinders, piston3 and rings so cannot score or wear them. Motors so lubricated run thousands of miles farther without the necessity of cleaning. Your motor retains tight compression and full power, and you save repairs. Aristo is made by the lubrication specialists of the Union Oil Company, equipped with every accepted facility for producing per fect motor oil. A durable, fine film penetrates to and protects each working part in any weather and at all motor heats. Tcsttxl by famous drivers under conditions lar more severe than any you will ever cause your motor to encoi.ntcr. If you would operate a smoother, .vvcll-protectfd, longer lasting motor, always use an oil like this. For sale at all firat class garages and service stations. ' Union Oil Company of California v.
