Inventor Lifts Terrors of the Fog From Harbors
WASHINGTON.—Ocean fog has been tamed by the navy, so that it will no
longer he necessary for battleships and liners to lie outside harbors
waiting a chance to creep in when the weather lightens, in a contract signed
with Earl C. Hanson, a young inventor
of Los Angeles, the navy department
took the first step to make practical a
new device to control vessels in a fog
outside harbors.
Tests will be made at once at the
naval base at New London and later
in Ambrose channel in New York har
bor. By the use of the invention in
connection with the radio compass,
which the navy has now perfected, de
iErfS7^-—^7;r~«£?—a7~777^l-~”''^—lay in ocean travel due to weather is
. . to be eliminated. The radio compass
brings all shipping “in sight of land” and the new device, like a friendly hand,
reaches out and takes the biggest of ships through the most tortuous channels
safely and quickly to its pier.
I he new device is a simple one. A cable is laid in the center of the ship
channel. 1 hrough it is sent an electric current of low frequency, which
through tlie listening devices on hoard ship gives off a sound of certain
pitch that cannot he mistaken for any other sound.
The ship hugs the cable from harbor line to the dock. On the bridge
and in the captain s cabin listening devices like telephone receivers are placed
and attached by wires to the hull of the ship. The ship follows the course of
the cable.

WHISKY FOR ALASKA
IS LABELED “CROCKERY”
Seizure of boxes and barrels con
taining 750 gallons of whisky,
adroitly camouflaged as “crockery,”
at the King street station, was an
nounced at the United States mar
shal's office in Seattle, says the Post
Intelligencer of October 25. The
booze shipment was consigned from
a New York firm to Alaska. Each
barrel and box, the government men
found, contained crockery and tinware
arranged about a fifty-pound lard can
filled with liquor. There were twelve
barrels and two boxes.
Department of justice operatives de
tected the liquor, despite the pains
taking manner in which it had been
camouflaged. The seizure was made
under the direction of Deputy United
States Marshal Albert Rooks. The
liquor is now in storage, awaiting ac
tion by the United States district
court. The intended destination in
Alaska and the name of the firm ship
ping it from New York were not di
vulged by the authorities. Arrests
may be made in connection with the
seizure, it was intimated.
BILL HART IS COMING
TO ALASKA NEXT YEAR
Do you remember that Pinto pony
always seen in the moving pictures of
Bill Hart?
Well, that pony is now being used
by Mrs. Frank J. Cotter in riding
around the mammoth studio grounds
of Bill Hart near Los Angeles. Mrs.
Cotter is now the guest of the leading
actor in Western drama.
Hart is coming to Alaska next sum
mer to visit the Cotters, according to
a letter receivel by Mr. Cotter from
his wife, and he will be taken for a
trip through Kenai peninsula.
Helen Van Campen is also at Hart’s
studio in Los Angeles, preparing
some scenarios.—Seward Gateway.
HUSBANDS’ UNON HAS
BEEN FORMED IN SEWARD
A husbands’ union has been formed
in Seward.
Temporary organisation was perf
fected at midnight, the session being
held in the ice house of the Alaska
Transfer, with permission of Harry V.
Hoben.
Dr. Romig was elected temporary
chairman, and F. B. Wood temporary
secretary and financial scout—tempo
rary because the other members of
the union desired to see if the officers
could withstand rolling pins, flat
irons, etc., which might be used in an
attempt to smash the union.
