LOYALTY TO HOME INTERESTS

Christmas, with all its joys OF giving anu
receiving, with all its pleasures OF happiness
upon the part of those reunited Tor that giaa-
some time, has passed, leaving us facing an
other tweve-month period of strict attehtioh
to business-anothe twelve months TO pe
devoted to upbuilding the nation, the state'
the community in which we live.
LOYALTY to country and loyalty to coun-
t,vs interests is the mark of all good men
and true 1t was this loyalty which enabled
the heroes of Valley Forge to carve TINS ma
ton from the wilderness, after having thrown
Of the British yoke it was this loyalty when
enabled the ones who fought beneath the
Stars and Stripes of the Union to overcome
the forces of those who cast their lots with
the Southern Confederacy and fought for
division of the nation; it was this loyalty
which brought the boys of America to the
front when the call went forth and the de-
scendants of those who made America pos
sible. made possible a universal democracy
through the eternal overthrow of autocracy.
And the same loyalty which is demanded
of the man by the nation, should be demand
ed of the man for his state for his county and
for his town. The greatest states in the
greatest union ever known to history have
been created and evolved from nothingness
through and by the efforts of the hardy pio-
neers who came with axe and plow and gun
and worked from early morn until late at
night, putting their new state and their new
states interest above all else, save God and
nation.
Following the same lines we find that
the greatest cities of the several states have
been made possible, have been created by the
unselfish and undivided work of the. men who
came to them when they were flowers of
commerce in the bud, when they were COM
munities in the making, when they were little
more than wide places in the roads which
passed by their doors.
No city has ever been developed in the
face of internal opposition. No city has ever
been builded in the face Of internal strife
No city has ever grown into a metropolis
whose people-the consuming public-sent
their money away from home and went out
into the highways and byways of commercial
life when seeking guests for their wedding
feast until after they had exhausted every
avenue of securing that for which they stood
in need with the home people.
Through no possible distortion of facts or
twisting of figures can this assertion be made
to mean that the home man should be pat
ronized with an idolatrous loyalty, unless he
proves himself worthy of the trust. The man
who seeks TO charge fancy prices, who would
rob the consumer Just because that consumer
is loyal to the "old home town." is unworthy

INVENTED BY FORMER MONTANA
MAN MADE POSSIBLE THE ALTITUDE RECORD
FLIGHT THAT THRILLED WORLD LAST WEEK

the fall of the machine after estab-
fishing the new worlds record. HE
knew that if he allowed the machine
to fall headlong, the velocity in a
five-mile fall would tear the ship to
pieces and his only chance was to
go into a tail spin, which would re-
tard the velocity.
Major Schroeder is a flyer who
is exceptionally fond of stunts in the
air and the tail spin is his ~favorite
among the number praticed by all
flyers. His familiarity with this stunt
probably saved his life during the
period when he lost consciousness
and the ship was out of control"
One of First in Army
According to Lieutenant Hesser,
Major Schroeder was one of the first
flyers in the army, transferring to
the aerial branch of the service from
the cavalry in 1917, at which time he
had the rank of first lieutenant. La
ter he was at aviation fields at San
Diego, Cal; Dallas and San Antonio,
Texas, and Mineola, N. Y, from
where he went overseas. He return
ed from France with the rank of ma
jor and was named as chief test pilot
at McCook field.
81 was glad to see Schroeder make
the altitude record" said Lieutenant
Hesser, "as the major has a fine per-
sonality and is a most likeable fell
low. While he is a fine flyer there
has been nothing remarkable in his
career and he is just an ordinary
aviator. He was not an ace, in fact,
my recollection is that he did not
in the air in France, but serv-
ed in another capacity, although I
am not sure.
at took an immense amount of
nerve to go higher after he saw his
tanks going down, but my
idea is that he deliberately went
ahead to break the record even when
he knew it might cost him his life,
When he was up around $4,000 or
a 1000 feet his instruments showed
him the oxygen tanks were becoming
empty, but at that height his mar
gin over the former record was not
sufficient to insure another flyer
would not surpass his altitude. I
believe he went ahead with full
knowledge of the chances he was
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-03-11

Last week at McCook field, Ohio,
Major r. w. Schroeder, a United
States army aviator, broke the
worlds record for altitude by reach
ing a height of more than $4,000
feet, the highest point from the earth
that a human being has ever attained
and one of the reasons why Major
Schroeder was able to live and fly
in that greatly rarified atmosphere
in a temperature of 81 below zero
was the fact that he wore an e~lectri-
cally heated flying suit that was in
vented and manufactured by a form
er Montana man, George A. Hughes,
who a few years ago was installing
municipal electric light plants in the
eastern part of Montana, and who to-
day is president of the Edison Elee-
trio Appliance Company, the biggest
concern manufacturing electric
stoves and appliances of all kinds in
the world.
The aviator's electric suit is now
part of a flyers equipment and is is
sued to army aviators by the govern
ment. 1t consists of three pieces, a
headpiece, jacket and trousers, all
heated by electric wires running
through them and all controlled sep
arately by the aviator by means of
little switches. He can increase or
reduce the heat current for his legs,
body or head at will. Without such
artificially heated clothing, Major
Schroeder could never have with
stood the cold.
The fondness of Major Schroeder
for "stunts" in the air was respons-
ible for saving his life, when he fell
five miles after breaking the worlds
altitude record, in the opinion of
Lieutenant j. w. Hesser, head of the
Empire Aerial Training COM
pany of Butte. Lieutenant Hesser
is we'll acquainted with the daring
having flown with him at a
number of flying fields during his
in the aviation corps.
From the accounts 1 have read
Of Major ~Schroeder's record flight, l
believe he started a tail spin when
ne felt himself losing consciousness"
Lieutenant Hesser said in discussing
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-03-11

taking, depending upon his nerve and
luck to carry him through.
Oil COngeals
"In regard to the report his eyes
were frozen shut, possibly a little ex-
PLANTATION will ~correct>an erroneous
idea in the minds of the public.
When flyers are trying for an alti-
tude record or intend to fly at a
great height, they wear a suit which
is electrically warmed. In addition
there is a helmet with a flap or cur
tain to protect the face and they
smear their faces with castor oil to
prevent freezing and the skin crack
ing. I believe cold at the height he
attained vas so sever that the oil
was CONCEALED, which gave rise to
the report his eyes were frozen"
Methods of checking the instru-
ments used to show the height at
tanned to insure that a correct re-
cord was taken were explained by
Lieutenant Hesser, who named the
instrument used as a Paragraph.
''This instrument traces a record as
the machine rises, the highest point
shown on the record being the great
est altitude attained. When the
plane reaches the ground the baro-
graph is Immediately placed in a
large steel tank containing a glass
door for observation purposes. The
is then gradually withdrawn
from the tank, observers watching
to see that the Paragraph registers
properly.
An Absolute Check
Removal of the oxygen gradual
ly reproduces the same conditions ex
listing as the plane rises, giving an
absolute check on the instrument.
Any deviations which may occur are
deducted from the record registered
official. In the high-grade in
used, however, it is rare
to find a deviation of more than a
feet"
Lieutenant Hesser said that the
announcement of the record estab-
Iished by Major Schroeder will be re-
with much satisfaction by the
army and navy aviators, as it was
'elt the major was representing the
aviators in his flight, the for
.er record having been held by a
civilian flyer.

OIL LEASING LAW
HERE SUMMARIZED
MEASURE IN WHICH MANY MON
TANANS WILL BE KEENLY
INTERESTED
May File on 1850 Acres of Open
Land, Where Minerals Are Reserv-
ed, and Must Commence Drilling
Operations Within Six Months;
On Discovery Rentals and Royalty.

All w certain geologically IA
vored sections of Montana, leases on
prospective oil lands are being eager
ly snapped up, and filings made I'M
der the new oil land leasing bill,
which became a law only a few days
ago, after a fight dating back some
10 years. Montanans will be inter
ested in the following summary OF
this new law:
The leasing provisions of the bill
may be taken advantage of by any
citizen of the United States or any
association of such persons, or any
corporation organized under the
laws of the United States or any of
the states, and in the case of coal,
oil, oil shale or gas, municipalities
may take a lease. No leases under
the authority of this act can be as
signed or sublet except with the con-
sent of the secretary of the interior,
but any lessee may, in the discretion
of the secretary, be permitted at any
time to file a written REIMBURSEMENT
of all his rights under the lease and
thereby be relieved of all future OBJ
legations to the government or may
surrender legal subdivision Of the
area included within the lease.
Fixes Eight-Hour Day
1t is provided that each lease shall
contain among other things, a res
friction of the workday to not ex-
ceeding eight hours in any one day
for underground workers except in
case of emergency; a provision pro-
hibiting the employment of any boy
under the age of 16 years, or the en-
ployment of any girl Or woman, with
out regard to age, in any mine below
the surface; and a provision requir-
ing the payment of wages at least
twice a month.
Ten per cent of the money received
by the government under this act
from royalties and rentals is credit
ed by it to miscellaneous receipts,
the balance is divided between the
reclamation fund and the state in
which the land from which the rem
tai is derived is situated in past pro-
duction 70 per cent to the reclama-
ton fund and 20 per cent to the state
and in future production 81 IL per
cent to the reclamation fund and 81
IL per cent to the state.
Right to Prospect
In the case of oil and gas permits
it is provided that a qualified appli-
cant may be granted the exclusive
right for a period of not to exceed
two years, to prospect for oil or gas
upon not to exceed 1850 acres of
land which is open government land
or land wherein such deposits are re-
to the United States, al for in

The coal lease differs from the oil

phosphate lands the secretary may
grant non-contiguous lands in n
