THE EVEN “IFEDERAL AIRWAY COST ESTHATED Commerce Department Fore- |sees Expenditure of $7,944,- A corsage cluster of shaded orchid | | 000 in Year Beginning July 1. By the Associated Press. Federal expenditure on airways dur- ing the year beginning July 1 will amount to $7,044,000, as estimated by the Commerce Department, and will provide air navigation facilities over about 900 miles of routes not NOW open. About 3,000 miles of airways now un- lighted will be equipped with beacons for night fiying, and after this con- struction work is done, something like two-thirds of the whole sum will be available for maintenance of the exist- ing network of air channels. Most of the new lighting will be placed on the Southern transcontinen- tal route, which runs from New York to Los Angeles via Atlanta, Fort Worth and El Paso. The lights will go in from San Diego eastward. Beacons will be installed on the Dallas-Louls- ville route, while an additional airway from New York to St. Louis will be laid out via Pittsburgh and Indianapo- lis. Lighting will be provided between Jacksonville and Richmond, to facili- tate the operation of the South Amer- fcan Alr Service which takes off from Florida. When the work is done, there will be 17,500 miles of trunk airways lighted for night flying, along which will be strung 65 radio statlons broadcasting weather data to pilots. It is calculated that there will be scarcely a square mile of the national area over which NG STAR, WASHINGTON, fifilucuxmnflhuk-mmvhuh pilots will be out of touch with the radio signals. —_— WORLD'S BIGGEST PEARL OFFERED FOR $1,500,000 663-Carat Gem Claimed by Singa- pore Dealer, Who Says It Was Gift to Emperor. SHANGHAI (#).—A pear]l which the would-be vender claims is & 663 carats weight and the largest gem of its kind in the world, has been offered for sale here. He values it at $1,600,000. The hawker is Maj. U. Hohideen, who presents himself as a Singapore jewel dealer. Alleging that he fears kidnapers who might force him to give up the jewel, he lives in seclusion and keeps his treasure in a bank vault. ‘The major calls the gem “The Pearl of Asia” and claims it was a gift to the Manchu Emperor, Ch'ien Lung from the Shah of Persia. Ch'ien Lung sat on the dragon throne in old Peking from 1736 to_1796. _ Where Maj. Mohideen obtained the jewel and upon what he bases his claims to its veracity constitute a secret. He refuses to discuss the subject with any but a prospective purchaser and will not even show the gem to others. A picture of the treasure shows it to be pear-shaped. It is sald that its luster is such that it provdies a mirror for one's whole face. City Upholstering Co.
