AUTO INDICATOR MAY AID
LONDON TO TRAVEL IN FOG
LONDON, Mar. 10.—London fogs,
even at their worst, will have no
term 0 'ov tramcar passengers of
i;.e rature i' an invention demostrat
<-d here recently meets half the pro
1,. i-vs of the inventor.
I ong famous for grasping soot and
smoke and nearly everything which
floats and holding them suspended in
the air, London fogs sometimes bring
street traffic to a standstill for hours
at a time, as drivers cannot see
their way, even by the aid of power
ful headlights and other special ar
rangements. But this trouble may
be overcome by the auto indicator,
it is contended, as it shows the pas
senger and the motorman as well
the exact location of the car at all
times.
A red pointer works on a chart on
which are the names of streets, ho
tels and other well known buildings
and the usual stopping places along ;
the route. The red pointer reaches !
these positions on the chart simul-'
taneouslv with the car itself. The!
pointer is operated by a mechanism '
geared to the car axle, this being the j
most complicated part of the ma
chinery, and which it is claimed took
the inventor nine years to perfect. ;
The guide was tried out by the1
Metropolitan Tramways recently and
was said by C. J. Spencer, the gen
eral manager, to be a success. The
London County Council, operating
part of the London street car system
has agreed to adopt the indicator if
it proves a success on the Metro

HAWAII CALLS ON AIRPLANES
TO SANITATE SUGAR FIELDS
HONOLULU, Mar. 11.—Negotia
tions for the use of army airplanes
to ‘’bomb” the sugar cane fields of
Hawaii with preventive dust in the
fight against the eyespot pest, are
in progress between headquarters of
the Hawaiian department of the
army and the Hawaiian Sugar Plant-!
ers’ Association, and it is expect
ed that the initial experiment prob
ably will be made within a few
months.
The work will be along the same
lines as the method used in Texas
ar.I other states where airplanes
have been used for dusting cotton
fields to combat the boll-weevil. The
estimated annual loss to plantations
cr. Oahu thru the effects of the fun
gus causipg the eyespot diseast is
$100,000.
STATUE OF PEE4;;IS
CHARACTERIZED AS WORST
IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY
LONDON, Mar. 10.—The statue of
Sir Robert Peel, who organized the
London metropolitan police force, has
been characterized as the worst in
Westminster Abbey by the Rev. Joce
lyn Prekins, who has suggested that
it be taken down. The statue re
minded Rev. Mr. Perkins of a man
going to a Turkish bath, because of
the effect of its drapery, and since
it was given publicity in this res
pect has become known as “Bath
towel statue.”
Sir Robert in his younger days
was popularly known as Bobby, and
it was from this name that the Lon
don policemen derived their nick
name.
There’s many a pup that was
born about the time of the dog-sled
relief of Nome or thereafter, that
will go through life under the name
of Baito. In fact Balto is likely to
become as popular as a dog name
as Togo was after the Jap fleet
cleaned up the Russians.

NEW YORK POLICE
TO HAVE MODERN
CAMP IN CATSKILLS
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Mar. 11.—A police
recreation camp is being erected in
the Catskill Mountains, near Tanner
ville, N. Y., for the benefit of the
members of the New York police
department and their families. The
main unit of the camp will be one
of the finest fireproof summer hotels
in the United States, which will re
place the frame structure destroyed
by fire last summer.
The new building will be of steel
and cement construction throughout
and each room will have a bath. In
addition to the main building, which
will be four stories high, there will
be an extension in which the kit
chen and bakery will be located. It
is planned eventually to have the
hotel surrounded by a number of cot
tages.
Richard E. Enright, police commis
sioner, conceived the idea of the rec
reation camp about four years ago.
At that time the original frame
structure and an estate of 250 acres
were purchased for $50,000. The
property today is said to be worth
$400,000 and when the planned im
provements are completed its value
will be approximately $1,000,000.
The primary idea of the camp is
to provide an inexpensive vacation
for the members of the police de
partment and members ol' their fam
ilies, who are accomodated for $2.00
a day. The camp also entertains
without cost policemen who are con
valescing from illness or injury. Dur
ing the season one of the depart
ment surgeons always is in attend
ance.
