Musical Program

! A fine musical program was given
at thss u. B. Church. last Sunday even,
ing ~, members of the choir and !
number. Of tho Sunday School child
rem. Some visitors, from, the choir
Of the U.B. Church at yolga were
present and. rendered three Or four
selections which were splendid and
heartily applauded by the audience.
Some good numbers were sung by the
children and pleased all who heard
them. Quite surprize was given
to many people when Newton Polling,
the seven year old son Of C.. H. Pol
ing, played Nearer My God To Thee
on the Cornet. He performed his
part in an excellent manner, and it is
doubtful if anyone in the state his age
could beat him at the same thing.
The singing by the choir Of the
church was inspiring and uplifting.
All who. were there had a pleasant
and enjoyable evening.

BLIND MAN LNVENTS PLANE
New Type Will Revolutionize The
Aerial Warfare
limited Press DispatC

UNITED Press Dispatch
Chicago, April 9.-A blind man has
invented a type of aircraft he says
will reyolutionize aerial warfare. He
dealer.
The sky dreadnaught is called an
"aeroplane". By o circular arrange
ment of planes Kaczmarek said his
craft can hover in the air like an
eagle. This sssabiliZing property
would give a bomber an opportunity
to vastly increase the number of his
hits.
Kaczmarek declares his machine
will rise almost perpendicularly and
land in spot nearly as small as its
own base. Thus necessity of take off
and landing fields are eliminated.
With the assistance of a boy mech
anic the inventor bull his machine
on the roof of an office building. In
stead of parallel planes, as in the
ordinary heavier than all. craft Kac-
Zmarek's model his six planes set in
a circular position, like an old fash
ioned sidewheeler on the Mississip
pi. The planes were placed on top Of
the machine. Joined in the middle
they open and close like a book.
The wings on the ascent Of the wheel
close and cut the air. They open up
coming down.
This enables one to gain, the
greatest power without slip Of pro-
peller and there is no drag of the
plane at an angle" explained the in
ventor.
A model was tested out during~t the
war, Kaczmarek said. While the
trial made by an aviation lieutenant
was not an entire success, the prin-
ciple was demonstrated sound, it was
said. KacZmarek added that a five
horsepower motor in his machine is
the equivalent of a fifty horsepower
motor in the ordinary airplane.

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. ]

Duluth, Mimi. April 6.-Enforce-
ment of state game and fish laws and
the state fire permit law and protec-
ton Of the forests Of the state from
fire are benefits expected to be OBJ
tanned from organization Of commun-
ity automobile clubs into "fying
squadrons".
The plan received its birth at the
recent conference here of forest rang
ers and state game and fish commits
sioners here. At the conference Car
los Avery, state game and hsh com
missioner outlined the proposition.
Backing to the scheme was guaI'an-
teed by e. Filiatrault, Duluth, presi-
dent of the Minnesota automobile as
sociation and secretary Of the Duluth
Auto club. He estimated the $4,000
members of the two clubs would give
whole hearted support to the propos-
ed plan of individual fire prevention
and enforcement Of state laws.
Conference Will Be Called Soon.
Mr.. Filiatrault said that the local
club was willing not only to form
units TO intercept violators Of the
game laws, but that should a call for
help come, the club would be ready
to systematically transport fire fight
ers in case of forest fire..
AS a result of the meeting here. a
conference of officials of the state
association, the state game commits
sion and the state forestry board will
be called in the near future, 1t was
announced. e
Discussing game with the rangers.
Mr. Avery declared moose are leaving
the Superior national forest, which
extends 100 miles along the north
shore of Lake Superior, and are cross
ing into Canada. Decrease of the
herd by more than 800 head was noted
during the three year period ending
last fall Ne said, and that the herd
now numbered about LOO.
Extension of logging operations and
wolves were given by the commission
er as the cause for the migration.
While the moose are gradually losing
their fight with the wolves, the deer
are holding their own. he said. Mr..
Avery recommended the deputizing of
rangers as game wardens as an ef-
fective means of promoting cooper
alton between the organizations.
