COMPASS GIVEN
SAFES! POST IN
ARM! AIRPLANES
i An American Aerodrome in Eng-;
1 land.—One of the safest places in j
the airplane cockpit is given the |
compass, for without its aid the air-.
man who is flying over sea or landj
on a misty day is hopelessly lost. I
Great attention is paid by American j
pilots training in England to the
problem presented by “drift”. If
an airplane starts to fly from one |
point to another due east, and there
is a wind blowing fifteen miles an
hourth northeast, he must take that
element into consideration by alter
ing his compass course, before as- •
cending, according to the total dis-1
tance of the journey.
Many difficulties had to be over->
i
come in the production of a satis-1
factory compass for aerial work.
Chief among these was the problem
of neutralizing the magnetism of the (
engine and particularly the magneto, j
and of preventing the effect of the.1
centrifugal force which tends to
cause the dial of the compass to
swing in a direction quite independ
ent of North when the airplane is
banking on a turn. These difficul
ties, however, have all been sur
mounted and the compass in use on
present-day airplanes is a fairly sat
isfactory instrumer t. It i lid to
be far superior to anylhmg which
the Germans have yet been able to
evolve.
The airman’e next most important
instrument is his aneroid, or height
indicator. This is fitted with an j
adjustable dial which can be moved i
round so that on leaving any given'
aerodrome the reading is zero, what
ever the height of that aerodrome
above sea level may be.

An American pilot left his aero
drome for a cross country flight
recently on a very misty day, care
fully setting his aneroid at zero.
After flying for two hours by com-'
pass he thought he must be nearing
his destination. He could see noth
ing below and so descended to 500
feet. He flew at this height for
five minutes and decided to land.
He was about to volplane down into 1
the midst when suddenly the mist I
cleared and he saw the ground im-!
mediately underneath him, about ten i
feet below. His aneroid still in- ■
sisted that he was 500 feet hight i
The explanation lay in the fact that
the place he was about to land on
was 500 feet higher above sea level
than his own aerodrome.
NENANAITES MAKE
FAIRBANKS TRIP
Messers Slvester Howell and Haw
ley W. Sterling left this morning
for Fairbanks with a horse and
double ender on a brief business!
trip. They expect to be gone about i
a week.
There has been a little travel over
the trail, Roy Lund’s rig and Rol
and’s stage having recently trav
ersed the distance, and the men
should not find any difficulty in
making time on the trip.
It is reported that the roadhouse
at the Joyce lake (Dunbar’s) and
the Ohio roadhouse farther along the
trail have not yet been opened for
business for the season, and the
travelers are taking no chances of
being starved enroute by taking
a small stock of grub.
They expect to make the Joyce
Lake roadhouse for the night and
on resuming their journey tomorrow
morning expect to go on through.
EPIDEMIC INTERFERES
WITH COAST VOTING
Reports received from Anchorage
and Kodiak state that the preval
ence of influenza in those towns
seriously reduced the number of
votes cast, Anchorage estimating
that fully one hundred more ballots
would have been polled but for
the epidemic.
A total of 681 votes were cast in
Anchorage, as against 1011 two
years ago.

BRI1ISH MARVEL
L.ONDOX.—“American soldiers
seem to grow in the night so thal
each morning there are more oi
them than before,” writes a Britisl
soldier in France to his relatives
in England. “Americans are th<
topics of conversation everywhere,’
he continues. “The villages are ful
of them.
“Their automobile trucks are or
all the roads, and their columns ol
infantry are everywhere. We art
beginning to know the songs they
sing and the phrases they use.
“To many of us they were a com
plete mystery at first. We had heard
of America only as a distance coun
try. Then suddenly they were in
France—tall, well-trained men with
a genius for making friends and
adapting themselves to new condi
tions. We watched them with curi
osity at first, surprised to find how
like they were to other men.
“Then, before we had quite re
covered from the first pleasant sur
prise, they were fighting—making a
reputation in a trade where the test
is not easy. They came up from
their villages singing, and filtered
into the trenches more and more of
them each day- The papers began
to talk about their fighting, but we
thought ‘Surely they cannot be do
ing much yet.’ And then all at once
we began to see it for ourselves,
and we were of the opinion straight
way that the papers had not grasped
the wonder of the facts.
“They were so keen and so fresh,
those first Americans. And every
day others as keen and fresh are
going up to the line, and every day
their places are being taken in the
villages by yet' others. What would
the Germans say if they really knew
all this one wonders.
“They are merry and light-hearted
but underneath they are taking this
business very seriously, and some of
their talk shows it. That’s the way
to take one’s fighting, you know—
neither too much in earnest—which
is morbid—nor too much as a joke—
which is foolish. The wise man is he
who neither overrates himself nor
underrates danger. The Americans
are wise men.
“The peasants like them; the old
French mothers mother them. They
lave an instinct which <,ivos them
a realization of the homesickness
which must sometimes come to these
men. When years have gone by,
and it is possible to see the war
in perspective, it may be possible
to give full value to what those
women have done.
“Meanwhile, as I was saying, the
Americans go on arriving and spread
ing all over France.”
LADIES’ AID HOLD
The regular monthly meeting of
the Nenana Ladies’ Aid Society was
Held yesterday afternoon at the
borne of Mrs. R. G. Southworth, and
much business pertaining to the
society was transacted.
The membership voted to meet
twice a month instead of once only
is heretofore, and will in future
meet on the first Friday of each
month at the home of one of the
members, of which due notice will
be given, for the transaction of
business; and on the last Wednesday
?f each month at the Nenana Club
for the purpose of making garments
for the Belgians.
Mrs. Rothenburg, who had been
treasurer of the Ladies’ Aid Society,
resigned her position, as the nature
jf the work she was engaged in
precluded the possibility of her be
ing able to attend to the duties of
that office. Mrs. J. H. Flower was
jppointed treasurer in place of Mrs.
Rothenburg.
The hostess served a dainty lunch
eon and the meeting ended after a
very pleasant time had been spent.

JAPS MAY BAN
! CASTE AS RESULT
i OF PICE RIOTING
—
; TOKIO—Japanese reformers, stir
| red by the recent food riots in which
the “eta” or outcast class of society
' took a prominent part, are advo
cating the abolition of the caste
; regulations which hedge about these
! people on the ground that the re
strictions are distinctly out of con
| sonanee with the spirit of modern
Japan.
i The “eta” might be compared to
1 the pariahs of India. They number
more than 1,000,000 and are said
to be descendants of Korean cap
tives brought to Japan during the
wars of the sixth century. Others
trace their origin to the introduc
tion of Buddhism in Japan in the
eighth century when the taking of
animal life was looked upon by ad
herents of the new faith with ab
horrence and disdain. From the
earliest days the “eta” have been
slaughterers of cattle and other
livestock, and today the majority
of these people obtain their liveli
hood as butchers and tanners.
Legally the “eta” have the same
rights as other Japanese but socially
they are outcasts- Forbidedn to
mingle with high-class Japanese or
t6 marry outside their own caste,
the abbatoir workers and their fam
; ilies live together in town and vil
lages in western and southern Japan,
j Included in their number are many
i radicals who see in the growing spirit
j of democracy an opportunity to end
forever for themselves and children
! the social ostracism to which for
• centuries their forbears have been
i subject.
The rice disturbances gave the
; “eta” the opportunity to show their
; disapproval of exisiting conditions.
i Many of their women in the city of
! Osaka led attacks upon food dealer*
and property. With the settlement
of the trouble Japanese editors and
publicists suggest the "eta" should
be brought out of their settlements
and encouraged to live and associate
with their socnlled betters as a parr
of the plan to more thoroughly
democratize Japan.
