COMPASS OF
 AIRPLANE IS
 SAFE,GUARDED
AN AMERICAN AERoDRoNIE |,

AN AMERICAN AERODROME L., ! ENGLAND, Oct, lS- Correspond caco of The Associated PreSs)- Ore oi nc safest places in the airplanc cocSpi: iS given to the compass, f.: without it's aid the airman who k fly ing over sea or land on misty day Is hopcleSSly lost. Great attention Is paid by American pilots training in England to the problem presented iy drift. If an airplane starts to fly from one point to another due east, and there is d wind blowing fifteen miles an hour northeast, he must take that element into consideration by al~ tering his compass course, before a. ccnding, according to the total dis tance of the journey.
 Many difficulties had to be over come in the production of a Satisfact- ory compass for aerial work. Chicf among these was the problem of neu- tralizing the magnetism of the eng inc and particularly the magneto, and of preventing the effect of cen trifugal force which tends to cause the dial of the compass to swing m a direction quite independent of Nor tn when the airplane is banking on a turn. These difficulties, however !, have all been surmounted and tEa compass in use on present-day aii- planes is a fairly satisfactory inStru- ment. It is said to be far superior to anything which the Germans have yet been able to evolve.
 The ailman's next most important instrument is his aneroid, or height indicator This is fitted with an ad- unstable dial which can be movel round so that on leaving any given aerodrome the reading is zero, whaC- ever the height of that aerodromr above sea level may be.
 An American pilot left his aero drome for cross country flight re- gently on very misty day, carefully setting his aneroid at zero. After fly ing for two hours by compass he thought he must be nearing his des. tination. He could see nothing below and so descended to 800 feet. He flew at this height for five minutes and decided to land. He was about to vol plane down into the mist when sud- denly the mist cleared and he saw the ground immediately underneath him, about ten feet below. His aneroid still insisted that he was 800 feet high. The explanation lay in the fact that the place he was about to land on was 800 feet heigher above sea level than his own aerodrome.

Battle-Courage and Deter

With the American Army in France.
The true stuff that is in the aver
age American soldier comes to the
surface just before he goes into bat
tie.
The hour comes when he suddenly
quits all foolishness and horsepIay
with his fellows and settles down to a
lot of sober thinking.
Far from being the rough, careless
fellow that his life back of the lines
might often indicate. he stands out as
a young man with clean heart and mo-
tives, fully alive to the dangers he is
going into, but possessing high pa
triotism and courage and determine
tion to see the thing through regard
less of the cost TO himself.
Americas interests will always be
safe in the hands of such young men.

"Then, for some reason which never
will be known, the controls were shiit

the fact that the total distance covered
must have been much under 100 miles
it appears certain the machine lost

due to some minor but not vital IN
