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.

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.

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. The wearer of that helmet nev
er knew be had been struck until he
doffed his "tin hat" London Times.
