AVIATION SITE AT CAPE MAY

Washington, September 5-Just be-
fore adjournment the other day, Sem
ator Joseph s. Frelinghaysen of New
Jersey, seized a favorable moment to
pass his bill for the requirement by
the United States of a site at Cape
May, New Jersey, for an aviation sta
ton for the Navy. The Department
has been very DESTROYS of locating at
that point, and has already moved
considerable equipment to the site.
The location has a fine harbor, which
has been under improvement by the
Government, and Mr.. Frelinghuysen
is convinced that the advantages of
the place will SO appeal to the naval
authorities that permanent aviation
station will be maintained there even
after the close Of the war.

In addition to drilling and fighting
as a member of a squad, company,

you will have certain important duties
as an individual soldier. These du-
ties call for a higher grade of intelli-
gence and self-reliance and throw on
you greater personal responsibility.
This is not something to be dreaded
or avoided. AS you develop the SOL
dierly qualities you will jump at every
chance to take responsibility and to
distinguish yourself by the courage
and good judgment with which you
act.
Probably your simplest individual
duty will be that of an interior guard
Interior guards are used in camp or
police regulations" Manual of In
terror Guard Duty, par. b.
In the training camp your company
will be required at times, to perform
guard duty. This means That one or
more of your commissioned or non
commissioned officers, and number
of privates will be detailed for this
duty. Customarily detail of this
kind continues for "a hours, from
noon of one day to noon of the next
each private takes his turn at stand

Personal Responsibility
Guard duty is especially recon-
mended as "of value in discipline ant
training, because Of the direct indi
vidual responsibility which is i'm
posed and required to be discharged
In definite and precise manner.

ing country. In general, their duties

Scouting
One of the most responsible duties
to which soldier may be assigned is
patrolling or scouting. An Infantry
patrol usually consists of from to
lG men. 1t is sent out for the pur-
pose of obtaining information as to
the enemy, his numbers, and the ma
ture of the country over which the
patrol travels. 1t is not usually in
tended that the patrol should fight,
since its prime purpose Is to obtain
and bring back information. How
ever, it may be forced to fight, if dis
covered, in order to protect the es-
, cape of at least one of its members
with a report of the information Sc
cured.
Every soldier should be able to
find his way in strange country;
should know how to use compass;
should know how to locate the north
star; should be able to travel across
country, keeping a given direction,
both by day and by night and by OBJ
serving landmarks he should be able
to return to the starting point wheth-
err over the same route or by more
circuitous one. This can easily be
learned by little practice 1t adds
a great deal to the value of a soldier
If he knows how to use map to find
his way. If he knows how to to make
a rough sketch Of the country, he has
added to his value as a soldier very
much indeed" manual for Noncom-
missioned officers and Privates, p
1917
Of course these remarks on guard
duty can give you only general idea
Of its nature and of your own re.
sponsibility. But enough has beer
said to indicate that any man ha.
much to learn before he can be call
ed first-class soldier. You will fine
your months of training slipping by
rapidly, especially as you become
more and more interested in mas
tering the varied phases of your new
Occupation.

AS WAS SEEN In A DREAM
Brought to Safety by
Big Maori.

Many well-authenticated stories are
have been warned by dreams and
telepathy Of impending danger to
loved ones at the front. One of the
most vivid stories on record is related
by a young lady whose flancee was
recently wounded, says London Tit
Bits.
Almost as soon as she fell asleep
one night she dreamed that she saw
her f1ancee in the trenches preparing
for q raid. In her dream she saw him,
with many others, climb out Of the
British trenches, cross No Mans Land,
and enter the enemy's lines. Her
dream became confused for mo-
ment and then quite plainly she saw
him climb on the parapet of the Ger
man trench and fall forward wounded.
A big man came up, took the wound
ed man on his shoulder, and carried
him back to the British lines. The
young lady awoke feeling very
alarmed and the next day wrote to
her f1ance for news.
A few days afterward she received
a letter from him in hospital, stating
that on the night Of her dream, about
midnight, he was one Of raiding
party, composed of English and New
Zealanders, and was wounded whilst
standing on the top of the German
trench. A big Maori carried him back
to the British lines, exactly as the
young lady had pictured in her dream.

Ancient MARRIAGE Custom.

Westermarck, in his History Of HUI
man Marriage" says: There is not
q shred of genuine evidence for the no
ton that general polygamy ever
formed a real stage in the history Of
mankind. "Monogamy is by far the
most common form of human marriage.
1t was so among the ancient people of
whom we have any direct knowledge"
And another authority states: ut
seems probable that from the first hui
man mating has tended toward
monogamic unions" AS for marriage
laws, there is little doubt that religious
sanctions are older than legal. In
Christian countries the marriage laws
are generally derived from the law
established by the Christian church in
the middle ages, which in turn drew
many Of it's rules regarding marriage
from the Roman civil law, and was also
influenced to some extent by Teutonic
ideals. It is worthy of note that the
Greeks and Romans, in their history,
show little or no trace of polygamy.

Profit in High Wages.

Wherever rubber grows, there IN
iuuity flourishes. Tropical fruits are
made cheap because human life where
they grow is cheap. The spirit OF hu-
mainly is just beginning to creep into
the relations between those who have
much and those who have little. But
a rare discovery has been made.
Strange as it may seem, it has been
proved by experiment that it pays to
be reckless of expense when service
Is sought and rendered. That which
has come to pass in the higher ranges
of employment, where salaries have
been increased tenfold and even more,
is happening all along the line where
labor and capital meet. Five dollars
paid in wages to one competent man
brings a larger return than IS paid to
five incompetent men and women; and
the larger wage brings the greater 1T
ness for the work. Better wages stir
ambition and cause the horizon to ex'
pand.-Christian Register.

DRIVEN BY nature
HOW PACIFIC COAST CITIES HAVE
HARNEssEp WATERFALLS.
Vast Power of Northern Rivers, obedl-
ent to Engineering Skill, Forced
to Do the Will of the Brain
That Conquers.

Few people know that trains are run
along the Pacific coast, cities lighted
and factory power obtained from har-
messed waterfalls up in the Sierra
mountains. 1t is a commentary on the
wonderful industrial progress Of Amer
lea, celebrated by Americas Electrical
week, that the force which drives the
wheels of the Pacific coast commerce
is derived from heretofore useless
tains of California.
The engineering world has watched
with interest the progress of the great
South Yuba-Bear river development,
which had it's beginning in 1912 under
authority from the California state
railroad commission. At that time
the Pacific Gas and Electric company
entered upon the construction Of a
225-foot dam at Lake Spaulding by
which it was proposed to back up the
waters of the South Yuba river and to
transform Lake Spaulding into a great
storage reservoir of 43,5O0-acre feet
capacity.
This work is again in progress and
is said by engineers to be the finest
enterprise in conserving national re-
sources and in providing hydro-elec-
trio power in great quantities that has
yet been undertaken in the West,
where this kind Of motive force is rap
idly taking the place of steam and Oil
power.
The idea of damming the waters OF
the South Yuba at that point occurred
to electrical engineers many years ago,
but the great disaster Of 1906 and the
troubles that followed caused the
project to be temporarily abandoned.
The project called for the diversion
of water from the South Yuba at the
dam through tunnel and ditch into
Bear valley, and for the construction
of a power house in the Bear River
gorge some nine miles below Lake
Spaulding, at point where head OF
1875 feet was obtainable.
From this it was proposed to utilize
the water after its release into Bear
river several times over in its course
through mountain and valley down to
the point of it's arrival at the City of
Auburn, some AZ miles below. The
fall of the water between the two
points being approximately 1900 feet.
it was found possible to survey sites
for a chain of not less than seven
developments in all.
Altogether, the plans called for an
aggregate development of something
like 162,00O-horse power. The work on
Lake Spaulding was started in 1912,
and in the following year tunnel and
ditch work was begun upon the Chris
tan valley plant and also that adj
jacent to the city of Auburn.
On Thanksgiving day, 1913, Vice
President John A. Britton closed the
switch which sent the electric energy
humming along the wires from the
newly constructed power plant in the
Bear River gorge to the company's
main high-tension distributing sta
ton at Cordelia, ITO miles away. This
enormous hydro-electric development Is
fast nearing completion, to be added to
engineering achievements ranking
with the Panama canal.
