The Mask and Photo House Stanton Rowell, Proprietor TRAVEL ACCORDING TO MAP Airmen en Night Raids Have Course Thoroughly Mspped Out Before Beginning Their Journey. Before lea ring on a loog-dl stance Bight raid the airmen prepare their maps with great care, marking on them the detailed course from the air drome to their objective. . By means of a small balloon, whose peed direction and height is recorded by an instrument on the ground, the force and direction of the wind at dif ferent altitudes la discovered, and the compass course, allowing for wind drift. Is marked beside the course on the map. The compass course for the return journey is alse marked. The peed of the machine Is calculated, and on the line of the course a series of points U marked, showing where the machine should be every ten minutes, thus enabling the airman to check his progress and to know his approximate position if he gets lost. He watches the country below fr.r landmarks. He sees by his map that a river should appear In a few min utes. His watch shows that be has been flying 40 minutes, and near the 45-minute mark on his map Is a twist ed pale blue line. He looks ahead and sees in the moonlight a silver streak and he knows he Is making good time. When he Is over the river he compares Its outline with his map, and sees that he Is crossing It at the right place. Hun's Maliciousness Proved. Some additional light is shed on the German destruction of the magnificent edifice that has been rl escribed as "frozen music," in an interview that Cardinal Lucon, archbishop of Reims, STanted the editor of Everybody's, Howard Wheeler, who reports It In the September number. "Aa you know," the archbishop told Mr. Wheeler, "the Germans have stated that the French army had been using the towers of the cathedral for observation purposes and that guns had been concealed there. The fact is that the French leaders, fearing that harm would come to the cathedral, refrained at all times from using it for any military pur poses whatever. When the bombard ments were commenced 1 Immediately wrote a letter to the pope, In which I solemnly swore, on my honor as a man tin J as a prelate of the church, :hat never had I abandoned my ca thedral since the beginning of the war, and that never at any time had it been used for military purposes. AH to no avail. The bombardment still contin ues n:il at regular Intervals my old cathedral is battered piecemeal and it breus my heart." HAMPSHIRE CO. SHIFTS CAMP R. C. Crowell arrived In the city from Glendale last evening. Mr. Crowell states that the John Hamp shire company has Just finished five miles of the Pacific highway this side of Wolf Creek, and that Mr. Hampshire is moving his camp to a point about two miles above the Johns Ranch, on Cow creek, in pre paration to commencing work on 10 miles ot the Pacific highway extend ing from Canyonvllle to the Johns Ranch. The piece ot road work this, side of Wolf Creek was splendidly done, and when surfaced will be a regular boulevard. The stretch ot road from Canyon' ville to the Johns Ranch will be the last link ot bad road to be finished on the Pacific highway In Oregon. The distance between these two points is 11 miles, but one mile of the road has already been put In fair condition and this part will receive no attention now. It is understood that the Hamp shire Company have been given a year's time to finish this piece ot road work, although it will probably be finished in less time. There will be several concrete bridges and three Howe-truss span bridges to 'build. In many places retaining walls will have to be built to prevent slides. In general, the new road will follow the old one, except that all sharp curves and steep pitches will be eliminated J. W. Ball Is engineer in charge for the government, and will make his headquarters at Glendale. PERSONAL LOCAL 1 A commercial traveler has Just sprung this on the unsuspecting pub lic: An Englishman, an Irishman, and a German, made a bet on who could crawl down In a mammoth skunk den and remain the longest. The Englishman, always game, took the lead and dove down among the skunks. In about three minutes he emerged and toppled over from the effect of the strong fumes. Pat's turn fame and rolling up his slaves, he rnaae a plunge toward the ferocious animals. Hardly had he disappeared from sight when he came leaping out in terror. The German was grinning, and avowed that he would show them what German "kultur" and "German thoroughness" would do for a man. In he went, without batting an eye, and In about 10 seconds out came every skunk. :tO,WM WEARY WILLIES ix r. s. service Lives Saved by Steel Helmet The British soldier, happy-go-lucky as he Is, has come to recognize the value of his steel helmet. Most of us who have been In action In France have stories to tell of our own or oth er men's lives saved by "tin huts," "tin lids," or "battle bowlers." A brother officer of mine has worn for something like two years a steel helmet with a dent In It as big as a small potato a souvenir of a small lump of shell which knocked him off his feet one afternoon in the Ypres salient I have eeen a helmet In the rim of which a machine gun bullet had cut a clean nick.
