FOG SIGNALS TO
: SENT I
BY WIRELESS
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13 (by As
sociated Press).—Davy Jones’ hardest
working little locker-filler is going to
be thrown out of a job by Uncle Sam
when the United States nevy cuts the
terror out of fogs around San Francis
co bay. Four government radio com
pass stations, new guardians of the
Golden Gate, will begin their protec
tive work September 15. according to
the Twelfth Naval District here.
These stations are located at Point
Reyes, Bird Island, Point Montara and
Farallons, off the entrance of San
Francisco bay. The Farallons station
is the group control station, whose
radio call will be ‘“NPI.” Their work
will be to give true bearings to ves
sels in fog, and thus hold them to
their course from the rocks and the
chDolc
Ships desiring bearings will call by
wireless the Farallons group control
station. The other three stations will
intercept the call and Farallons will
communicate with the ship directing
procedure and forwarding true bear
ings at conclusion of the test. The
direction is determined by the stations
intercepting the wireless messages of
the ship and determining by the dir
ection of the wireless waves the rela
tive position of the ship from each1
station.
Each station will wireless the true
bearing of the ship from the station,
and the intersection of these bearings
when charted will determine the pre
cise position of the ship.
The service will be given free to all
shipping and handled on a wave-length
of S00 meters. Calls will not be ans-1
wered on any other wave-length.
“Use should be made of these com
pass stations in clear as well as foggy
veather, for training of personnel and
visible check on accuracy,” Lieuten
ant-Commander McCaughev requests
of all mariners.
Similar service was' used by the al
lies during the war and proved of
great value.

NOT FAVORABLE TOWARD
FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE
MANILA, Sept. 14 (by Associated
Press).—The question of indepen
dence for the Philippines was dis
cussed by two United States senators,
members of the congressional party
on a tour of the Far East before their
departure for Hongkong.
Senator William J. Harris of Georg
ia, said:
“I would favor Philippine indepen
dence when Filipinos have establish
ed a stable government and clearly
demonstrated that they are able to
maintain it.”
Senator Thomas Sterling of North
Dakota said:
“I am not in favor of granting in
dependence to the Philippines at this
time, and I do not favor fixing any
time for granting independence.”
But haven’t you found generally
that about the time all your affairs
have gone to the dogs, somebody calls
off the dogs?

BRAZIL TAKES ACTION
TO HOUSE WORKERS
RIO JANEIRO, Sept 15 (by As
sociated Press).——Both federal and
municipal governments are about to
take action to relieve the shortage of
houses here..
In the chamber of deputies a bill
has been introduced providing for a
special bond issue of $50,000,000 for
the construction of houses for work
ing families. In the municipal coun
cil a measure was presented provid
ing that all worker’s houses in the
next two years be free from the usual
municipal taxes.
The federal bill proposes the con
struction, under the municipal admin
istration. of 20,000 houses in various
districts of the capital wherever na
tionally or municipally owned ground
is available. It is intended that the
houses shall be sold to heads of work
ing families, payment being spread
over a period of 20 years. In addition,
the bill provides for the construction
of two huge apartment houses, for
families and for bachelors, respective
ly, with common kitchens and other
communal installations, the rent being
placed at a very low figure.
THRIFT AND WORK ONLY
BRING IMPROVEMENT TO
CURRENCY OF GERMANY
BERLIN, Sept. 14 (by Associated
Press).—All the currency theorists in
the world would be unable to give
a definite, positive, answer to the
question when an improvement might
be expected in Germany’s huge paper
circulation, Director Von Glasenapp,
of the Reichsbank has told the Asso
ciated Press correspondent. The bank
statement showed that the paper in
circulation July 15 totalled 53,847,000,
000 marks. This was a decline of
198,000,000 marks as compared with
the previous week.
“We ‘shall certainly do all in our
power to prevent further undue in
flation of the currency,” he said. “As
for Germany, there are only two ways
and none other will avail. They are
expressable in two words—work and
thrift. Increased production will ben
efit both exchange and exportation.
From that and a nation-wide return
to frugal habits alone is an imprvoe
ment in the paper money situation
expectable.”
