time. When he is over the river he compares it's outline with his map. and sees that he is crossing it at the right place. He is forging ahead steadily to his destination. He sees the river and canals most clearly of all landmarks in the nighttime. Water is unmistakable The next most distinctive objects are woods and forests which appear like black patches, and their shape is usually very distinct. He sees the roads like thin white ribbons save where they are thickly bordered by trees.
 Railways are not so distinct and he cannot see them very far off, for they are likely microscopic black lines. Until he is directly over them he cannot see the towns and villages, but he can see the rivers many miles offfi and finds them the most reliable guide of all.
 So, checking his compass with the landmarks and with the ever, re. liable North Star, he arrives at his destination after travelling many miles across unfamiliar country He drops his bombs, and finds the return, with frightened cargo, very much cas- fer. There is kind of "homing instinct" so airmen say, which takes them back quickly and directly with little difficulty"

 Paramount Production 1 ct Coliseum TOniqht.

In The Undying Flame" Mime Petrova's first, Lasky-Paramopnt pic ture, one of the strangest facts of human experience is touched upon and in fact. forms the basis for the whole weird and mysterious story which has been cleverly woven around 1t, This is the very com mon sensation of having been in place before or having performed exactly the same actions in rela- tion to the same persons, whom per haps, one has never seen before Who is there who has not exper- fenced this baffling sensation? The Egyptians, thousands of years age worked out a theory to explain all this in their religion of the trans migration of souls" which is noth- ing more or less than the passing of the soul or spirit from one form to another during the course of its progress through the centuries.
 Thus an Egyptian in experiencine this feeling would merely say to himself: "T have known this per son, or have been in this place in one of my. previous incarnations' and go about his business.
 But in "The Undying Flame we have a charmingly. modern young English girl experiencing this sen sation and it puzzles her greatly un- til one day happy accident brings a mystic scarab into her possession from the hands of gypsy who tells her that when the other half shall be fonPd she will know that her destiny is at last fulfilled. /,
 The fascinating manner in which the other half Of the mystic charm comes into her life. and the happi- ness that follows may be seen at the Coliseum Theatre, tonight where "The Undyihs Fiame,"s starring Ma dame Petrosa, will be the attrac- tion. @

AN. AMERICAN AIRDOME IN FRANCE, July -(Correspondence of the Associated Press) - Before leaving on a long distance night raid the airmen must first prepare their maps with great care, marking them with the detailed course from the airdome to their objective.
 By means of small balloon, whose speed direction and height is record ed by an instrument on the ground, the force and direction of the wind at different attitudes is discovered, and the compass course. allowing for a wind drift. is marked beside the course on the map. The compass course for the return journey is also marked. The speed of the machine is calculated. and on the line of the course a series of points are marked. showing where the machine should be every ten minutes. thus enabling the airman to check his progress and to show his approximate position if he gets lost
 The airman climbs in circles above his aerodome until he has gained a sufficient height to start safely on his journey and then turns his ma chine eastward. until his illuminated compass shows that he Is flying on the right course. Then he flies straight. taking care to avoid swerv- ing to the right or left.
 At the same time he watches the country below for landmarks. As he crosses the lines he looks for some distinctive feature. such as the bend of a canal, the dark mass of a bat tered town. or the thin black thread of railway If he finds it, he knows he is on the right course.
 Then he sees that a river should appear in few minutes. His watch shows that he has been flying forty. minutes. and near the forty.five min. ute mark on his map is . twisted pale blue line. H6 looks ahead and sees in the moonlight silver streak and he knows that he is making good

"Atonement" and the other three pictures released in the Brady-Inter- national Service - World Pictures were all directed by Louis Mercan- ton, who directed Mothers of France"
 The Greek dance given by Re gina Badet in one of the early scenes in "Atonement' is the same
 dance that electrified France when
 she gave it. in one of the leading French theatres.
 Albert Signer, who is seen with Regina Badet in "Atonement," is
 known as "the most finished actor in
 Europe He appeared with Sarah Bernhardt in Mothers of France"
 and three New York critics said that his acting was even better than that
 of Madame Bernhardt.
 A snappy picture, picture with
 the punch and with wonderfully
 capable cast is "The Page Mys-
 tery." the new World-Picture Bra
 dy-Made. Carlyle Blackell and
 June Elvidge are starred in this
 production and are seen with Ar
 thur Ashley in compelling charac-
 terizations. The plot of the piece is
 unique and different' It is one of
 the most intensely interesting and
 exciting productions seen in long
 time. See it.
