MANY INSTRUMENTS NEEDED
FOR FIGHTING PLANES

Before an airplane can be put in
to military service it must be equip
ped with at least nine delicate aer-
onautic instruments, some of which
are absolutely essential to exact
flying, and all contribute to the
successful operation of a plane.
One gives the pilot his location as
to height and direction; others tell
his speed through the air, the
speed of his propeller, the amount
of gasoline carried, water tempera-
ture, operation of the oiling system,
and guide his banking" on turns.
Another necessary article is the
oxygen supplying apparatus, with
out which an aviator could not
climb to any great height.
For operation Of actual combat
planes, such as observing, photo
graphing, bombing, and fighting
planes, other complicated and ex-
pensive instruments and sets Of APP
paratus are necessary. Among
them are machine guns, gun mounts,
bomb racks, bomb-dropping devices,
bomb sights, radio and Photographic
apparatus, electrically heated cloth
ing, lights and flares. These bring
the total cost of equipment for an
airplane to several thousand dol
lars each, depending upon the type
of plane.

cemeteries; they walk with God in
white, AS shone the angel faces and
the angel robes, so shine their faces
and their whlte-robed forms in light.
We walk alone for a while. There are
empty places in home and church ;
there are empty chairs and empty
arms; but there Is n light still burning
where they were; a light in the mourn
Ing mothers arTs, u strange, sweet
light in the home; something like a
glory in the very air, as though angels
had swept past on cleaning wings, and

ward the light, toward the smiles
which are falling from heaven, and let
