Bubble Answers for Horizon
A unique feature of the aerial SEX
tant, known as the Byrd sextant, in
vented by Lieutenant Commander R. E.
Byrd, is that bubble in a tube takes
the place of the sea horizon. A special
ly constructed lens is used in sighting
the bubble, which is reflected in a mir
ror. The sun is reflected in another
mirror. The observer brings the sun
tangent to line at the same time he
brings the bubble tangent to the line.
That gives the altitude of the sun. This
is of especial value, as the aviator is
often above the clouds, and even when
flying at low attitudes the horizon is
too dim to be seen clearly. With this
seXtant the curvature Of the earth does
not have to be taken into consideration.
The bubble is lighted SO night observa-
tions may be taken.
"NeW methods of astronomical calcu-
lations also have been devised which en-
able the navigator to make his calcu-
lations in fifth of the time that form
erly was necessary. A zenithal projec-
ton chart of the Atlantic Ocean has
been specially constructed This chart
does away with difficult calculations, en-
abing the aviator to determine his posi-
tion in few minutes
Wind Problem Conquered
"Another great problem of the sea-
air navigator is calculation of the
speed and direction of the wind, both
day and night. The compass can only
give the course upon which the craft
heads, and allowance must be made
for the sidewise drift caused by the
wind.
"To overcome this difficulty bombs
have been invented which ignite upon
striking the surface of the water and
give dense smoke ard bright light
for ten minutes.
"An instrument is used In coniunc-
ton with this bomb which enables the
navigator to determine the velocity
and direction of the wind by sighting
on the smoke in the daytime and the
lights at night. This instrument,
called the speed and drift Indicator,
has proved successful.
When the navigator has found the
speed and direction of the wind he
must then be able to calculate the
course to steer toward the Azores to
allow for this wind. To do this an
instrument has been designed to solve
the triangle of forces, thus doing away
with cumbersome mathematical calcu-
lations.
Tho navigator's cockpit is equipped
with chart board, chart rack and
lights. He also has specially de-
signed headgear for telephone COM
munication with the pilots. The noise
-ecL.om ttxfv<motors is so great that it is
II 1laesssssss.Dle to hold conversation ex-
cept with specially designed telephone
apparatus.
THE navigator also has instruments
which show him the altitude of the
plane and the time the sun keeps with
the Greenwich meridian. In going
from Newfoundland to the Azores
more than two hours are lost in twenty
hours, so the navigator must allow
for this in making his astronomical
calculations"

STORY BY WESTERN
WRITER on SCREEN
Majestic Showing Venus in
the East" by Wallace r.
win, Sunday Only - Sun
down Trail Today.

Wallace Irwin, who wrote Venus
in the East" the latest Paramnuot pic
ture starring Bryant Washhurn.
which will be shown at the Majestic
theatre Sunday only, received his liter
airy training in San Francisco and his
knowledge of the Japanese gathered
there led to his writing his Japanese
schoolboy stories years later.
Hashimura Togo, the Japanese
schoolboy has already been immortal
lied on the screen, and recently the
Irwin stories of American life have
been well received by American read
Is sNAPPY STORY.
When Irwin wrote Venus in the
East" he turned out one of the clev-
crest and snappiest stories that had yet
come from his busy typewriter. There's
spontaniety and action in every line.
There's suspense and surprise and a
bit Of heart throb in it, too.
Irwin is mighty clever reader of
human nature. and he has ripped the
masks off from some of the types that
stand on pedestals.
For these reasons, Venus in the
East" will make as big hit on the
screen as it did In the Saturday Even
ing Post, it is predicted.

Woll and Morrison then held Joint
meeting after which Gompers issued
statement in which the railroad men
die not join.
Gomper's statement called attention
to the miners loyalty during the war
and declared that Immediately after
the war the operators took steps to
reduce production in order to keep up
prices. This Gompers said, carried
with it a reduction in miners earning
power in the face of constantly rising
living costs.
Gompers said that in attempting to
negotiate the miners found that their
plea for continuous employment would
destroy the mine owners arrangements
to curtail the mining of coal. The in
junction, Gompers said "bodes for i'll"
and added that '1t may restrain sane
leadership but will give added strength
