MAKE
 FAIRBANKS TRIP

Messers Sylvester Howell and Flaw. ley W. Sterling left this morning for Fairbanks with a horse and double ender on a brief business trip. They expect to oe gone about a week. :: -"".: ."@.....~.~.. ... .a."
 There has been a little travel over the trail, Roy Lund's rig and Kol- and's stage having recently trav- ersed the distance, and the men should not find any difficulty in making time on the trip.
 It is reported that the roadhouse at the Joyce lake (Dunbar's) and the Ohio roadhouse farther along the trail have not yet been opened for business for the season, and the travellers are taking no chances of being starved enroute by taking a small stock of grub.
 They expect to make the Joyce Lake roadhouse for the night and on resuming their journey tomorrow morning expect to go on through.

LAPS MAY BAN CASTE AS RESULT
 OF RICE R|O7|NG

TOKIO-Japanese reformers, stir red by the recent food riots in which the 'eta" or outcast class of society took prominent part, are advo- eating the abolition of the caste regulations which hedge about these people on the ground that the re- strictions are distinctly out of con- sonance with the spirit of modern Japan.
 The "eta" might be compared to the pariahs of India. They number more than 100000 and are said to be descendants of Korean cap tives brought to Japan during the wars of the sixth century. Others trace their origin to the introduc- tion of Buddhism in Japan in the eighth century when the taking of animal life was looked upon by ad- herents of the new faith with ab- horrence and disdain. From the earliest days the "eta" have been slaughterers of cattle and other livestock, and today the majority of these people obtain their liveli- hood as butchers and tanners.
 Legally the "eta" have the same rights as other Japanese but socially they are outcasts. Forbidedn to mingle with high-class Japanese or to marry outside their own caste, the abbatoir workers and their fam flies live together in town and will lages in western and southern Japan. Included in their number are many radicals who see in the growing spirit of democracy an opportunity to end forever for themselves and children the social ostracism to which for centuries their forbears have been subject.
 The rice disturbances gave the "eta" the opportunity to show their disapproval of existing conditions.

LADIES' AID HOLD REGULAR MEETING

The regular monthly meeting of the Nenana Ladies Aid Society was held yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. R. G. Southworth, and much business pertaining to the society was transacted.
 The membership voted to meet twice a month instead of once only as heretofore, and will in future meet on the first Friday of each month at the home of one of the members, of which due notice will be given, for the transaction of business; and on the last Wednesday of each month at the Nenana Club for the purpose of making garments for the Belgians.
 Mrs. Rothenburg, who had been treasurer of the Ladies' Aid Society. resigned her position, as the nature of the work she was engaged in precluded the possibility of her be- ing able to attend to the duties of that office. Mrs. J. H. Flower was appointed treasurer in place of Mrs. Rothenburg.
 The hostess served dainty lunch con and the meeting ended after a very pleasant time had been spent. nJn pApERS E0R SAI.E-At

Many of their women in the city of Osaka led attacks upon food dealers and property. With the settlement of the trouble Japanese editors and publicists suggest the "eta" should be brought out of their settlements and encouraged to live and associate with their socalled betters as d par, of the plan to more thoroughly democratize Japan.

COMPASS GIVEN
 SAFEST POST IN
 ARMY A|RPLANES

An American Aerodrome in Eng land.-One of the safest places in the airplane cockpit is given the compass, for without its aid the air man who is flying over sea or land on misty day is hopelessly lost.
 Great attention is paid by American pilots training in England to the problem presented by drift. If an airplane starts to fly from one point to another due east, and there is a wind blowing fifteen miles an hourth northeast, he must take that element into consideration by alter ing his compass course, before as cending, according to the total dis tance of the journey.
 Many difficulties had to be over come in the production of satis- factory compass for aerial work. Chief among these was the problem of neutralizing the magnetism of the engine and particularly the magneto, and of preventing the effect of tho centrifugal force which tends to cause the dial of the compass to swing in direction quite independ- ent of North when the airplane is banking on a turn. These difficult ties, however, have all been sur mounted and the compass in use on present-day airplanes is a fairly sat isfactory instrume t. It l aid to be far superior to anything which the Germans have yet been able to evolve.
 The airman'e next most important instrument is his aneroid, or height indicator. This is fitted with an adjustable dial which can be moved round so that on leaving any given aerodrome the reading is zero, what ever the height of that aerodrome above sea level may be.
 An American pilot left his aero drome for a cross country flight recently on very misty day, care fully setting his aneroid at zero. After flying for two hours by com pass he thought he must be nearing his destination. He could see noth- ing below and so descended to 800 feet. He flew at this height for five minutes and decided to land. He was about to volplane down into the midst when suddenly the mist cleared and he saw the ground inn underneath him, about ten feet below His aneroid still in- sisted that he was 500 feet night The explanation lay in the fact that the place he was about to land on was 500 feet higher above sea level than his own aerodrome.

FLOW OF TANKS ACROSS THE SEA
 BRITISH MARVEL

LONDON.-"American soldiers seem to grow in the night so that each morning there are more of them than before," writes British soldier in France to his relatives l in England. Americans are the topics of conversation everywhere, :" he continues. "The villages are full of them.
 Their automobile trucks are on all the roads, and their columns of infantry are everywhere. We are beginning to know the songs they sing and the phrases they use.
 "To many of us they were com plete mystery at first. We had heard of America only as a distance coun- try. Then suddenly they were in France-tall, well-trained men with genius for making friends and adapting themselves to new condi- tions. We watched them with curi- osity at first, surprised to find how like they were to other men. "Then, before we had quite re- covered from the first pleasant sur prise, they were fighting-making a reputation in trade where the test is not easy. They came up from their villages singing, and filtered into the trenches more and more of them each day. The papers began to talk about their fighting, but we thought Surely they cannot be do- ing much yet And then all at once we began to see it for ourselves, and we were of the opinion straight way that the papers had not grasped the wonder of the facts.
 "They were so keen and so fresh, those first Americans. And every day others as keen and fresh are going up to the line, and every day their places are being taken in the villages by yet others. What would the Germans say if they really knew all this one wonders.
 "They are merry and light-hearted but underneath they are taking this business very seriously, and some of their talk shows it. That's the way to take ones fighting, you know neither too much in earnest-which is morbid-nor too much as a joke which is foolish. The wise man is he who neither overrates himself nor underrates danger. The Americans are wise men.
 "The peasants like them; the aG French mothers mother them. They have an instinct which dives them realization of the homesickn ass which must sometimes come to these men. When years have gone by, and it is possible to see the war in perspective, it may be possible to give full value to what those women have done.
 Meanwhile, as was saying, the Americans go on arriving and spread ing all over France"
