ing to the tail spin he put the ma
chine through in descending to Mather
Field. l had no warning and felt as
if we were going down q series of
ccrkscrew curves at a terrific rate. The
earth looked like an ocean during q
heavy sea. We dropped 1,500 feet in
this manner and then gracefully vol
planned to the field within q hundred
feet of the hangar. Our total flight
time was about four hours and the dis
lance covered $50 miles.
Fires have already been detected
from airplanes that have not been
picked up by the lookout man. There
is no question in my mind that it is
the most feasible method of prompt
fire detection. / believe, however, that
the expense of establishing such a pa
troll would be prohibitive for the for
est service.
81 am convinced more than ever that
the dirigible with helium gas will be
the type of ship we shall use in the fu-
ture. I predict that within five years
our present system of lookout patrol
will practically be a thing of the past
and also that the suppression of forest
fires will commence Immediately after
discovery. In other words, the fire
fighting forces will accompany the OBJ
server in a dirigible. When fire is
discovered one or two men will climb
down and put 1t out. There will then
be different methods of fire suppress
sion than we now use. 1t will be pos
slble to carry large tanks of water and
motors to pump it on fire Chemi-
Gals, perhaps, may also be used"

General Muir" Comes With Breast

New York.-With breast shattered
but still alive, General Muir one of
the greatest war heroes, returned re-
Gently. As the steamer pulled into
New York harbor, General Muir sat
on the deck wrapped in a blanket
that bore several wound and service
stripes. There was no perceptible
sign that he realized where he was.
He made no comment.
Reporters tried in vain to interview
him. Sergt. Fred j. Hermann, his
commander, did all the talking. You
see-General Muir is a carrier pigeon.

10000 Miles of Wire.
Within the German occupied area
there has been established by the sig
nal corps under the direction of Col.
Parker Hit, chief signal officer, a net
work of wires connecting the various
units of the third army. Direct lines
connect with all the corps and divi-
sions, approximately 10000 miles of
wire being in service.
This extensive plant has not. how
ever, been built by the third army, but
consists almost altogether of the Ger
man lines taken over by the signal
corps and so arranged rs to meet the
needs of the army. Sufficient circuits
were left, however, for the civilian
population to carry on their business.
More than $1,000 calls are register

"DoodIebug" Code Name.
The word 'Doodlebug" Is the code

assigned them during the war. On the

rectory issued by the third army the
artists conception Of q "doodlebug"

sabres, rifles and an aerial bomb.
All the apparatus, including switch

fact, everything excepting the wires,

history, and it's derivations and con.
fractions are endless. 1t signifies

maiden martyr, whose name was chos.

that the martyred Katherine was So
called for another and earlier Kath-
crime, virgin martyr of Alexandria,
whose history is unknown. Some his
torians credit her with being the
daughter of king of Egypt. but this
contention can not be substantiated.
However it is, Katherine's purity and
sancity are unmistakable. The mar
tyrdom of the original Katherine is
recorded in literature and art-the de-
struction of the wheels that were to
hove torn her asunder; her martyrdom
by the sword. and the translation of
her body by angels to MountSinai, at
whose foot stands a convent bearing
her name. where she is adored perpet-

masters of pen and brush. Passing
