EXIT ANOTHER GERMAN WORE

The movement to eliminate all
things German from our daily life has
now reached the kindergarten. Every
body seems to agree that there is no
kultur to be found in the schoolroom

The question of new name seems
to be puzzling persons interested.
Why not translate it literally, some
people inquire, and call it the Chill

very beginning. They called it Giar-

THE AIR COMPASS

One of the safest places in the air
lane cockpit is given to the compass
or without its aid the airman who is
lying over sea or land on a misty
day is hopelessly lost. Great atten-
ton is paid by American pilots train
ing in England to the problem pre-
scented by drift" If an airplane starts
to fly from one point to another due
east and there is a wind blowing fif-
teen miles an hour northeast, he must
take that element in consideration by
altering his compass course, before
ascending, according to the total dis
lance Of the journey.
Many difficulties had to be over
come in the production of a salts
factory compass for aerial work
Chief among these was the problem
Of neutrailizing the magnetism OF the
engine and particularly the magnetic
and of preventing the effect of GER
trififugal force which tends to cause
the dial of the compass to swing in
a direction quite independent of
North when the airplane is banking
on a turn. These difficulties, however
have all been surmounted and the
compass in use on present-day air,
planes is fairly satisfactory instru-
ment 1t is said to be far superior to
anything which the Germans have yet
been able to evolve
The airmans next most important
instrument is his aneroid or height
indicator This b fitted with an adj
Unstable dial which can be moved

Csernin, Austro-Hungarian foreign
minister. has resigned, according to
a Vienna dispatch. Emperor Charles

talk peace with Austria-Hungary.
Following Czernin's resignation,
Emperor Charles entrusted him with
the conduct OF foreign affairs until

that France should have Alsace-Lor-
raine. led to Czernln's resignation.

W. q. sCHUPPEL GIVES INTER-.
EsTiNG TALK ON ACTIVITIES
AFTER THE WAR
URGES PEOPLE TRADE At HOME
Money Sent ont to Mall Order
Houses Never itcturns, and Home
Merchants Deserve support

W. c. Schuppol. agency suporyls-
or Of the Oregon Life Insurance com,
pany. was the speaker at the Monday
luncheon OF the Chamber OF Com
merce this noon, In eloquent words
Mr., Schuppel praised the Grants
Pass spirit and the manner In which
the people here do things, and then
proceeded 10 make a few pointed re-
marks about the war. throwing In
enough good humor TO keep his
hearers laughing.
The meeting was presided over by
President v. G. Bramwell, who In
troduccd the speaker.
In speaking OF the part that the
interior cities are playing In tho
war. the speaker pointed out the
fact that the showing here was all
the more remarkable on account OF
there being no war industries TO
profit from. The money invested In
Liberty bonds and other war neces-
sitles comes from the regular chan
ncls, and not from well-pald ship
yards. munition plants or other In
dustrics bcnefittlng from high war
wages.
Regarding the purchase OF Liberty
bonds, he quoted an army man who
spoke 10 Portland last week who
compared what the soldier is giving
10 what tho ordinary citizen Is do
ing. The soldier. he says. gets sal
ary OF $50 per month. II costs the
government about s4b month to
feed and clothe him. The soldier
pays his insurance, buys bonds, ETC.
Most any man can earn at least
800 per months these times. which
means that the soldier Ia giving
about $40 per month to his country
besides fighting for II. This, ne
says. Ia great deal more than ouy-
ing a $50 Liberty bond. which VIII
be returned with interest later.
One OF the best things said by
Mr.. schuppel was along the lines OF
buying at home as means OF con-
scrvation. While transportation Is
one OF the chief diti,culties at pres
ent. people at home can help oy
trading with home merchants. he
pointed out that buying OF home
merchants Ia not only patriotic
duty but good business for every dol-
lar sent TO the mail order houses
stays there and does not return In
any sense OF the word. The mall
order house does not buy Liberty
bonds In this community. they pay
no rent here. no taxes. and utterly
far In every respect TO take the
place Of the home merchant.
He suggested that the time might
come when wealth, like soldiers,
would have to be conscripted for
war use.
He especially emphasized the ef-
feet Of trading out of town after the
war.
