WIRELESS WILL SAVE VESSELS, ALASKAN WATERS San Francisco Treacherous Al askan waters, graveyard of scores of vessels and into .whose maw many lives and much treasure - have been poured due to navigation pitfalls, are about to be conquered by radio, according to advices received here telling progress of naval communi cation service investigation into plans for establishing radio-compass stations. Floyd E. Dunklee, radio electri cian of the service is now in Juneau, Alaska, investigating sites for sta tions, having recently completed the work of installing radio-compass stations, protecting San Francisco bay. Dangers to navigation are re moved by the same means which guarded London from Zeppelin at tacks, a secret during the war, and one of the most interesting devel opments in radio-telegraphy. When Zeppelins started their attacks upon London, the foremost of allied ex perts applied their efforts to pro vide some means of defense. The termination of the location of in vading Zppelins. Discovery of a rmho directum finder resulted from their efforts. . ....., ill (V .,.,! is iisr.i wiro loss in "'P'""" .1..niirturo from Gernmn bases, frequently while on route mnssm'l'S 1UU l l allied discovery was ft device to .i.. ;,, inm v. hu'h inreau-i! these wireless v.'ivos oiime. ni.-.Ttirm findois tv-Uitbl ishei .liffVivnt, points upon lioiirmg Zl'lv rt to the i, i.,,.., il direction from each station rt the oppelln Charting these directions the hond mmrters accurately determined the location of the Zeppelin and i could be engaged in combat before getting across the British borders. Success of the direction-finders resulted in retention of their use to aid shipping. Radio-compass sta tions established on the Atlantic seaboard proved highly efficient, and the establishment ot stations around San Francisco bay followed. Other allied countries are also using the system. This means of informing a vessel of its precise location is regarded as one of the most valued aids to nav igation inaugurated in this century, according to naval communication experts. Tentative plans contemplate es tablishment of six radio-compass stations in Alaska waters. It is ex pected location of the stations will be determined upon Electrician Dunklee's investigations this ,year and erection of stations be under taken next spring.

CURRENT COMMENT The fact that in the United States of Amerida there are on. an average five fires in techools every day indi cates that a great many people need to be taught so forcefully that they will never forget it that certain kinds of carelessness actually are criminal. But, besides striving to lower the number of such fires, every commun ity should be absolutely sure that its own schoolhouses are so designed and protected that no fire, if a fire does occur, can convert any one of them into a death trap. MAKES SUMMER COOKING COMFORTABLE OIL (KEROSENE) STANDARD OIL COMPANY ( CALIFORNIA) For a long time a quiet attempt has been making to raise money for the purchase of Monticello the beautiful estate of Thomas Jefferson, as a nat ional monument. It is now announc ed that the fund will probably be complete within two or three months, when the nation will come into poss ession of a memorial that will keep alive the memory of the author of the Declaration of Independence. It was a happy thought to clear spaces in national forests for camp ing grounds, and to build fireplaces and garbage pits. How much they have been apreciated can be judged from the fact that the three hundred and fifty camping places so establish ed in Washington and Oregon were used this year by almost ,35,000 peo pie, who have thus become better acquainted with the beauties of their region and have learned to respect the forest rights and to leave things as they find them. . It is a good suggestion that the highway between , Boston and Pro vincetown be named the Pilgrim Highway, and that markers be placed along the road to point places of his toric interest. What a' relief it would be, and what benefit, to young people especially, if billboards on all of our country roads could be re placed by informing historical sign boards -that- should -preserve -the memory of incidents of local intaNst. in irt h aJ Jg MmiSt im I m f0r Qjffr lull .
