But the Svirit of II has become
naturalized in this country. 1t is not

nation Of more than one hundred mil
lion people to stand like one man upon

that they be respected.
The Spirit in Pictures.
1t is hard to visualize a spirit. 1t is
sometimes difficult to define and ex-
press Just what it is. For that reason
a number of people have failed to
grasp the true nature of the Spirit Of
II. They must be shown. and their
understanding of American war prob
lens will increase, their inspiration
will become more genuine, their pa
triotism will acquire new fire, new en-
thusiasm.
Realizing this. the North Dakota
state council of defense has made ar
engagements to tell the people of the
state just what the spirit is. The
council has employed the motion pic
ture as the most impressive means of
instruction. and. beginning tomorrow.
American war pictures will be shown
all over the state for twenty-siX Sun

about the preparations Of Uncle Sam
for the greatest period in his history.

fully described.
OF course. the pictures are not only
entertaining. They are also educa-
tional. There is a purpose in ex-
hibiting them, and that is to make the
people of Grand Forks even more pa
triotic than they have been and are.

Naturally, the motion pictures can-
not be shown without mourning some
expenditure to the state council of de-

been spent in making the prepara-

FIRST RECORDED AIR FIGHT
Frenchmen, Rivals in Love, Had
Strange and Fatal Duel More Than
One Hundred Years Ago. !,


The first battle in the air and the
strangesf duel in the long history OF
the field of honor was fought Ito
years ago near Paris. Two Frenchmen
were ardent rivals for the affecfions
Of a woman, and 50 bitter did thefF
quarrel become that only blood could
wipe 1t out. Ordinary methods were
too tame for these iery spirits, so 1t
was agreed that the duel should be
fought from balloons. The aus of
the trouble agreed to marry the VIC
tor.
When the selected day arrived the
two fighters and their seconds repaired
to the meeting place, only to find a
great crowd assembled, for word Of
the strange encounter had spread
broadcast. The principals, however,
were u~ndeterred. Two balloons, pre-
ciseIy alike. had been prepared, and
into these they stepped. To each was
handed a carefully loaded blunderbuss.
The word was given and the moor
ings cast off. Slowly the balloons as
cended, almost side by side. At the
height Of about half a mile, when the
great bags were but 80 yards apart,
the signal was given and both men
opened fire. Soon one of the balloons
collapsed and crashed to the earth.
The record says the oma kept her
promise and married the victor of the
aerial battle.

now TO KEEP MEN
FROM GAMBLING

The gambling impulse derives its
strength from a variety of elements,
and from elements which are not ar
~tificial. but are part and parcel OF
human nature. This being so, il is
absolutely useless to try to put an
end to gambling by the enactment of
prohibitory laws.
The facts of history show that,
while it is possible to l~egislate one
specific form of gambling out of ex-
istence. another ere long will take
its place. With the suppression of

races became more popular than eve

Easy Way to Measure Distances.

Boy scouts who are interested in
emulating deeds of their older friends
are practicing many engineering
One Of the most interesting is
to measure distances without instru-
ments and where the travel from point
to point is impracticable. The method
followed is one employed by Napoleon
when his engineers sought to learn the
distance across an unfordable river.
The little corporal took a position
on the bank at the water edge, gazed
across the stream until the opposite
shore line was just discernible below
the visor. Of his cap. then turned on his
heel and spotted a point at the same
level up stream. After this he paced

STUDY HOLDING OF CAMERA
Successful Work With the INSTRUMENT
Depends Largely on Its Being In
Proper Position.

Successful h~anc-camera work de-
ponds largely on the power to give
slow shutter exposures with the cam
era held in the hand. and in this con-
nection sufficient attention is rarely
given to the matter of grip 1t is
not enough TO hold the Gamers firmly
against the chest or stomach. The
best position must be found by trial,
and this will vary with different In
dlviduals and different makes of
camera. In general it will be found
that the most comfortable position is
the steadiest. At waist level the
hands will be usually placed SYM
metrically on either side of the instru-
ment. the right. near the release. for
ward, and the other a little behind.
When the Gamers is held Mt eye level.
one hand is usually held rather under
the instrument as a support, and the
other grips the back or side, or with
a folding type OF camera both hands
may grip the back. With the very
small types, one hand often almost in
closes the instrument and releases the
shutter, whilst the other is used as a
support. AT eye level it is often a
great assistance to q steady aim to
press. the back of the camera against
the cheek. Just as the feel of a IA
vorite gun gives confidence, so the
use of the camera should: be familiar,
and regular and systematic practice
with the unioaded Gamers will be a
great help in this. Trial exposures
should be given from time to time, and
the resulting negatives carefully ex-
.amined. At first fairly short exposures
only should be given, to gain conf
dence, gradually employing slower
speeds as the hand is trained and
nerve is acquired.

Miss Hendrickson was a sister of

sick with influenza. She did every
