Di ablo near San Francisco Bay and the other in the Merced Hills, Los Angeles. These beacons will de velop ten million candlepower and the flashing beams from them will be visible to aviators for between 100 and 150 miles. The company has taken this action at the sug gestion of the United States De partment of Commerce, the Airways Division of which is now engaged in installing lights to mark the air ways from Los Angeles to San Francisco and from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. The Department of Commerce is also projecting a ae ries of lights northward and east ward from San Francisco, as In dicated in the chart above. These official airway lights are set at frequent intervals and are of three million candlepower each. The government will give the light on Mt. Diablo the official des ignation of "SD," standing for "Standard-Diablo," and "SL," sig nifying "Standard-Los Angeles," for the light in the Merced Hills. The light for this type of beacon, built by the Sperry Gyroscope Co., is furnished by large 1500-watt in- IN OVAL.

The re flector and lens of the beacon are 36 inches In diameter. The light is equipped with an ingenious device holding two of the incandescent lamps one directly in front of the focal point of the reflector. In the event of this lamp burning out the second lamp is automatically thrown over to take the place of the one that has gone out. This is done almost instantly so that there is no interruption In the operation of the beacon. The beacon Itself makes six complete revolutions per minute. An automatic astronomical clock turns ttfe beacon on at sun set and off at sunrise. This clock automatically compensates for the constantly changing hours of sun set and sunrise. The beacons will be mounted on 75-foot steel towers. The symbols SD and SL will be hung on the side of the towers as a mark cf Identi fication in letters twelve feet high outlined in neon lights. These lights complement the ex isting system of daylight airway signs which the Standard Oil Com pany maintains at some 500 points on the Pacific Coast. These signs are painted on the roofs of Its ware houses and give the name of the town in which located.

"His wife said she was going home to mother and he laughed out loud." "Why?" "He knew gone home night before.' "What's so artistic about that old pipe of yours?" "It draws well."
