( OAST IMITNSE GETS <il NS SAN EHANCISCO <UP«— The Pacific ('(last's defense soon is to be auffuniented by the installation of four new Iti-inch guns, according to announcement of Major Gen. George S. Simonds, new Commander of the t'th Corps Area. With a range of nearly .’iO miles at sea, the job if they ever have the one of firing at invisable targets. Just as a matter of practice, it is ex-

pected that the gun crews will be given precisely that opportunity by shooting at invisible targets at that distance. Installation of the massive pieces of ordnance will give San Francisco the ultimate in protection from invasion by a foreign fleet. Gunners, stationed beside the huge guns called 16-inch rifles in army parlance can bombard enemy ships with projectiles weighing more than a ton while the vessels are far beyon i the range of vision of observers on the coast. The guns were built as part of the Army’s policy of expanding fighting units and stiffening coast defenses, approved by the last congress While 80 or 90 men will be used to fire each gun, double that number is needed for range-finding and other details of firing at an unseen target. In time of war. army officials state, 200 men would be assigned to each gun. Huge concrete and steel gun carriages or bases will be set up north and south of the Golden Gate. Two will be erected at Fort Funston and two at Tennessee Point in Marin County, on the opposite of the Golden Gate from San Francisco. The guns measure 66 2-8 feet in length. They recently were completed at one of the Navy arsenals and were checked and fired at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds at Aberdeen. Wash. Work on preparing the concrete bases for the guns has begun.

EXPERT ADVISES BRITAIN TO KEEP FLAG ON PACIFIC LONDON iUP' A powerful voice has been added to the campaign to save the British shipping routes across the Pacific. Without specifically mentioning the Pacific problem. Sir Alan Anderson, honorary president of the International Chamber of Shipping, a director of the Bank of England, and Conservative M. P for the City of London, warned the nation that Britain's choice today lies between famine and j world trade and ships. ' "For the U. S. A. or France,” he said. “It may, or may not, be profitable to own and opeiate ships; foi . us ships are life.” Sir Alan urged cooperation betweer. the United States and France to re | store world prosperity, j "It is the task of the great trading nations," he declared, "to feed their people and to restore trade, which will bring together complementary needs: encourage fanners to produce; the settlers to open new country, and by the same magic of trade enable the hungry millions of Europe t< know the plenty and the joya of peace.”

Lindbergh Is Welcomed to Berlin

Lincoln's honesty was well known, and in the minds of many, he is known today as “Honest Abe.” In the picture just completed for The Lincoln National Life Insurance Com* pany by Frederic Misen, well-known Chicago artist, he is shown engaged in the occupation in which he earned this title. Tn 18M, the young Tin coin was clerking in Offut's store in New Salem, Illinois, and it was at this time that two specific incidents took place which later bolstered his already solid reputation for honesty. On one oc* casion, just at dusk, Lincoln waited
