Patterns of refugee garments for
women are now ready and are known
as official American Red Cross pat
terms, numbering from Isl to 15S in
elusive. Making these garments is a
work that every woman ought to do
with a sense of gratitude that she is
thus able TO contribute something to
the bodily and spiritual comfort of the
women who have been caught in the
maelstrOm of war. Their case is pitt
full. They have been driven from
their homes and are dependent upon
charity for the bare necessities of life.
1t is inspiring to know that the wom-
en- are responding to calls for needed
garments and comforts for fighting
men with untiring enthusiasm.
Knitting has become the habit with
many, and they are providing the
Sox, sweaters, wristlets, ear-warm-
ers and helmets that the men use,
in great numbers. Some of them de-
vote their time to making just one sort
of garment. A lady of Coldwater,
Mich, who is eighty-two years old, is
sending us beautiful sox which she
knits at the rate of one. day. This
is a fine contribution TO Red Cross
work
Another old lady makes only COM
fort kits, and is now well on toward
the three hundredth kit. But most
women really like to vary the work
they do; those who knit undertaking

Shrinking From Death.

Is it quite fair to dub a man cow
ard because he is "afraid to die?"
Death, the prospect Of it, even when
It lies many years ahead, makes many
of us quake. What, then, Of the death
that the air, full of whining bullets,

could Live on Bananas Alone.

The exotic but always accessible
banana is essentially sanitary-nO
germs can touch it. Like the apple, it
can be served raw or cooked to please
the most capricious palate. Like the
onion, it provides the highly necessary
mineral salts. And, like meat and
milk, it has high fuel value-slightly
less than the one, slightly more than
the other. Man cannot live by bread
alone, but he could by bananas alone
If he had to.

Revival of Seagoing Spirit
Arouses Widespread Inter-
est in the Subject.
SCHOOLS TEACH THE SCIENCE
Glasses in. Navigation Being Conducted
by Recruiting Service of United
States Shipping Board-12,ooo
New Officers Needed.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the interesting
features of the present great reVlvai III
seagoing spirit throughout the coun-
try is the widespread popularity OF the
study of navigation.
Reports reaching the United States
shipping board indicate lively interest
all over the country in the study Oh
this ancient science, which helped
make the nation great in it's earnest
years Of independence.
Glasses in navigation, conducted Dy
the recruiting service of the board, 10
train officers for the ships OF the new
merchant marine, are being conducted
on both coasts and on the Great Lakes.
Candidates for admission come from
every section of the Union.
The cause of this nationwide inter-
est in navigation is to be found IN the
gigantic development of the cOuntrys
merchant marine. 1t is anticipated
that not less than 10000 new officers
will be required to handle the Amerl-
can cargo carrying vessels now under
construction, and not less than S5,OOO
men will be wanted for the crews.
A merchant officer today has many
advantages in studying navigation that
were not known to his seagoing ances-
tors. There was never time when
the aids to navigation were so numer-
Gus as now, or so well developed.
While the manner in which q navi-
gator determines his ships position on
the vast face of the deep must always
be something of a mystery to the lanus-
man, it does not long remain so to the
earnest student of navigation. Some
of the students at shipping board
schools have, been able, after three
weeks study, to determine by obser-
walton the position of ship at sea
within three miles, which is considered
a creditable performance. The best
navigators, on large ships, when able
to check up their observations by the
work of more than one observer, some
times do no better.

"Dead Reckoning"

Prior to the perfection of the chro-
nometer, the common method of deter
mining longitude was by dead reckon
ing" that is, estimating ships run
day by day. by means Of the log, de-
vice for telling her speed by means of
the rate at which knots in a line, paid
out astern, with a wooden '1og" at the
end, slipped over the rail in a given
number of seconds. This was uncer-
tain, and battling winds and foul
weather made it entirely unreliable.
Many fatal shipwrecks resulted from
mistakes In estimating q ships position
by dead reckoning. England lost sew
eral Of her best ships of war in the
eighteenth century by their losing
their bearings and crashing upon a
rocky shore. One of it's bravest ad-
mirals, Sir Cloudesley Shovel, lost his
life in a wreck caused in this way.
The world owes much in navigation
to the Portuguese, as 1t was Prince
Henry the Navigator Of that nation,
who collated all the ancient lore on
the subject, in the fifteenth century,
and pointed the way to better means
of determining latitude than by the an
cient astrolabe and cross staff.
The sextant and chronometer were
both of English origin, however, and
were brought out within five years of
each other, the sextant in 1871 and the
chronometer-an improved clock-in
1875. Modern navigation, such as SO
many Americans are studying today,
may be said to date from the perfec-
ton of these two instruments.

Take Up Study Of Navigation

Columbus followed this method, for
want of anything better.
Given sextant and chronometer, the
navigator today reduces the job of
finding his position to one of careful
figuring. Latitude is found by obser-
walton Of the height, or altitude, of the
sun at noon.
Longitude is quite another thing, it
being the distance between two places
on the earth's surface, expressed in
degrees. 1t is based on the rotation
of the earth on its axis every "a hours,
causing meridians Is degrees apart-a
meridian being a line between the
equator and the poles-to pass under
certain fixed point in the heavens at
One-hOur intervals.
For determining longitude all chro-
nOmeters used on American and Brit
iSh ships are set on the time of the
meridian of Greenwich observatory,
near London. French ships figure
from the meridian of Paris.
Knowing by his chronometer the
time at Greenwich, and by observation
of the sun at 8 a. m. or a p. m. his own
time, the mariner, by the aid Of tables,
has only to find the difference in these
two times, to find his distance in de-
grees from Greenwich. This found,
the distance is easily expressed in
miles, and marks his position on his
chart.

Early Navigation.

In the early days of ocean naviga-
ton the navigator never knew his po-
sition at sea within many leagues. 1t
was customary for ships on the voy-
age from Europe to America to sail
westerly until a landfall was made,
then coast to their destination.
