is Practically at Mercy of
Circumstances.

Nothing connected with the history
of aviation is more remarkable than
the way in which the weather difficult
ties and dangers of a few years ago
have been reduced TO the level of
minor inconvenience by the increased
skill of aviators and especially by inn
provements in airplanes. 1t is hardly
an exaggeration TO say that at the
present time the only serious outstand-
ing meteorological problem of the avn
ator is fog.
There Is no means of keeping ones
bearings when flying In or over a
fog, and the same is. of course. true
of low-lying clouds. The compass
tells which way the machine is point
ing at any moment. but not the di-
rection in which it is flying. except
when travelling exactly with or
against the wind There are no land
marks in the air. Even more serious
is the problem of landing in a fog.
The chances are always considerable
of striking dangerous obstacles. such
as trees. buildings. or telegraph wires.
or of alighting in bodies of water,
swamps, etc. Moreover, as one vet
eran flyer has stated. what is dis
tressing to the airmen in fog is the
impossibility of knowing whether he
be slightly climbing or slightly de-
scending full tilt into hills, trees or
houses without tine to save the stu

Merle Sidener, local advertising
man, recently returned from a West
ern trip in which he visited the city
of Los Angeles. He was impressed
with the boosting of the Los Angeles
citizens and said he learned that an
Oregon colonel from Portland was the
guest of honor at banquet in Los
Angeles. The usual after-dinner
speeches were made, all boosting the
city of Los Angeles, but each speaker
regretted that Los Angeles had not
been founded on the coast. The speak
ers all said that had the city been on
the coast instead of ten miles or so
from it, the city would be the garden
spot of the world. The visiting colo
mel was called on to speak and said:
Gentlemen, 1 am impressed with
your city as much as you are and be-
lieve that l can suggest a way in
which you can accomplish your wish"
All of the citizens present leaned
forward eagerly, for this was no doubt
the solution that had long been wait
ing for. The colonel continued:

NeuStrelitz was mainly for Russian
prisoners, and there were neither Brit

such rs the men | was with. The
Russians were given far worse treat
ment than any other prisoners. This
was for two reasons, as near as could
make out. One was that the Russian
would stand most anything, whereas
the British and French could only be
gOaded TO a certain point, and beyond
that lay trouble. The other reason
was that the Russians sent German
prisoners to Siberia, or at least, so the
Huns thought and Fritz hates The
cold. So, hating the Russians. and
realizing that they were used TO be
Ing under-dogs, Fritz picked on them
and bulied them in way that the
rest of us would not have stood. We
would have rushed them and gone
west with bayonets first.
The barracks were made of spruce
and were about ninety feet long and
twenty-five feet wide, and you cap
take it from me that as carpenters,
whoever made them were fine farm
ers. There were cracks in them that
yon could drive an automobile through.
When we were there. each barracks
had stove in the center, good stove

10 use to US, because the Germans
would not give US coal or wood for it.

gan ripping the boards out of the bar
racks, and taking the dividing boards
from the benches that we used for
beds.
Later. they gave each of us a mat

pane of glass. The mattresses were
placed on the ground in the barracks,
which were very damp, and after three

Joseph's school is collecting tin foil
for the Red Cross. Joseph has been
one of the most jealous collectors, but
as the supply of tin foil grew less and
less his collections have decreased.
With the beginning of the influenza
epidemic his collections increased. As
they continued to increase his teacher
began to wonder. Finally she asked
him how he got so much more than any
of the other children.
"Why, that's secret" he told her.
But I'll tell you. The kids are all

that the foil was full of germs and
now they won't pick it up any more.
So just get it all."--Indianapolis
