NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, ARPORT LIGHTS ARE UNEXCELED Hartford’s System Regarded as, Exceptional Hartford's airport, 18 one of the best and a model for other New England vities to follow in creating landing fleids for aviators, today stands as an example of the importance of clectrlc lighting in the field of avia- tion. Night fiying las lost many of its previqus hazards due to the scientific lighting of landing ficlds and Connecticut's main airport has been declared by aviators to be one of the ea fields on which to land at night. The Hartford airport was equip- ped with lights in accordance with recommendations made by the il- lnminating engineering division of the Hartford Electric Light com- pany at the request of Captain Knox, state commissioner of avia- tion. The first lighting unit to be nstalled on the field was a revolving acon of 1,000 watt power, which can be seen from a great distance Border lights of sixty candlepower were placed at intervals of 300 feet around the field he concrete vamp is lighted by 4,000 watt flood- light projectives, while the hangars themselves are also flood-lighted. The climax installation now conceded in the country st was that of eight 24-inch landing light which are spaced in groups of four on the cast and south sides of the field at intervals of three hundred foet. These projectors throw an s horizontal beam of light the ficld, and are so ar- ranged as not to blind the landing pilot, When the vailing wind is | o pilot must land ‘vm"\ on the field, 1 i 1 are lighted and i sary to land sast and on the south nd of thy us all e is climi hated.

The favorite | method of attack has always been | to spring upon the victim from be- bind and finish him off before he knows what is afoot. The first rule of conduct a newly arrived white man learns in the Solomons is never to allow a native to walk behind him. Instances are on record where | trusted natives have begged lhelr white benefactors not to walk in | front of them while on the trail. | The temptation to strike, they assert, | is almost irresistible. The Solomons, 900 miles northeast of Australia, are among the most re- mote of the Pacific Islands; yet save for the Ladrones and perhaps the Ma s, they were the earl est found by Europeans. They were | discovered, strangely, from Peru, | where adventurers, thirsting for | more gold, heard rumors of a con- tinent close by to the west.

Great Britain established a pro- tectorate over the southern islands the Solomon group in 1893. In 1599 an agreement between Great Britain and Germany gave the two large northern islands, Bouganville and Buka, to the latter country man possessions have tered by Australia. The total of the Solomon Islands is about 16,000 square miles. he population is approximately 200,000 natives and a mere handful and Asiatics vs’ Club Imlles Publlc To “Open Night” Program An open night will he held at the Boys club next Wednesday evening. vhen the eral public will be we comed into the ciub to see the regu- lar activities in full swing.
