for spreading: a network of air
ways over the United States and
"putting: ,'wings on the American
public" by stimulating commercial
- aviation will be incorporated some
8,314 miles of aviation routes al
', ready being utilized, largely by
the air mail service.
. Plans of the newly created Di
vision of Commercial Aviation es
tablished , in the Department of
Commerce by, the last Congress
contemplate 1, 431 additional
miles of airways, chiefly in south
' eastern United States, which are
indicated' by ; the light parallel
lines in the accompanying map.
' i The first work to be done by
William- P" McCracken. Jr.. of
Chicago,, rec.en.tly ( chosen as assis
tant, secretary of . commerce in
charge of aviation, is the lighting
of the airways traced in this map.
The map shows 9,745 miles of air
ways, of which 2,041 are at present-lighted;
The department of
commerce expects before the fiscal
year is over to light 1,167 more
miles, and has already assigned
five service aviators to survey as
many Toutee forthe establishment
of guiding beacons' and boundary
lights for the' emergency fields to
be established at about every 30
miles along the airway routes.
Secretary Hoover's plans' for a
commercial aviation service, as re
" cently approved by President
Coolidge, contemplates two' great
air routes which would bisect the
United States East and West and
North and South, linking the At
lantic with the Pacific and the
Great Lakes with the Gulf.
The "transcontinental airway"
will run from New York to the
Pacific coast, via Chicago, Cleve
land, Iowa City. Des Moines, Oma
ha, North Platte, Cheyenne and
Salt . Lake City, dividing at the
' latter point with on'e branch run

that year he was placed in com
mand of divsion 10 of the sub
marine forces with the United
States Atlantic fleet. Cleaning up
the allied and German mines

COOLIDGE BUSY ON
U QUESTION
Ambassador Sheffield jVill
Discuss " Matter With
President Soon
PAUL SMITH'S, N. Y...Aug. 27.
(AP.) Any recommendations
as to the' policies with reference
to Mexico that James R. Sheffield,
American ambassador to Mexico
City, may make to President Cool
idge, it was said today at tbe sum
mer White House, will have great
weight with the chief executive.
Discussing the proposed viHi,t of
the ambassador to White PJno
camp, officials said Mr. Coolidge
would like to see him and talk
about the Mexican situation and
obtain his first hand views about
condition in the southern republic.
Kq date has been set for the
visit?as yet, but it probably will
be soon. The ambassador, who
has come to this country for a va
cation, was received by Secrery
Kellogg of the state department
Wednesday and is understood to
be planning a visit to Atlantic City
before coming here.
In the opinion of the president
Mr. Sheffield is an able man and
trained lawyer, "who has' made an
excellent ambassador and has
handled a difficult situation In
Mexico with great skill, and dis
cretion. " ; -
That Mr. Sheffield is in agree
ment with the administration ou
its Mexican policy has been em
phasized by secretary Kellogg
both here and in Washington.
While President Coolidge has
not read the recent magarine ar
ticle of William Ripley of Harvard
college urging some action by .the
federal trade commission to . as
sure security noiaers more com
plete and more frequent Informa
tion about the financial condition
of corporations, he Is understood
to be inclined to doubt that there
is not so much opportunity for.na
tional as for state action in that
field. i .
Yet, any recommendations on
such matters that might be-made
by Professor Ripley, it waa said
today by the president, would bo
entitled to every consideration be
fore they could be dismissed a
unfounded- j ,
Moreover, it was .empbafzed
that Mr. Coolidge is keenly sTT
that there are 0,000,000 securttj
holders in this country and U
wants everything possible to' bo
done to safeguard their interests.
