aircraft in making landings during
fogs and other periods of low visibil-
ity and after nightfall.
Necessity for Beacons.
The necessity for aircraft beacons
will become more and more urgent
as developments take place in mill
tary and commercial aviation. and
radio is the only medium that can be
utilized for this purpose.
Lights or other visual means could
not be seen through thick fogs, for
example, and, therefore, would be un-
satisfactory.
A satisfactory beacon must consist
of radio transmitting apparatus at
the landing field capable Of sending
out other waves automatically des-
ignating the location and boundaries
of the landing field.
This presents a most Difficult: prob
lem, but one which obviously must
be solved il aviation is to develop on

Confucianism Not Religion

There is a mistaken belief that
Confucianism is religion. Confu
Cius. "China's Most Perfect Sage"
taught expressly for the purpose Of
making the younger generation adj
here to the one word, virtue. Legend
has it that on the night of his birth
bright lights shone forth as during
the day time; two dragons encircled
his home; five old men came down
from the heavens, and a unicorn is
said to have spat out book of jade.
During his boyhood, Confucius
excelled all the other lads at school.
At the age Of IS he married and was
blessed with a son and a daughter.
After his marriage he was given an
official post, in which his diligence
soon won him one of the foremost po-
siticns of The state.
AS he was clever and we'll versed in
politics. he was appointed one of the
ministers of the Duke Of Lu, who
placed in him much trust. During a
short term as prime minister Confu-
cius effected many reforms. He con-
Quoted his administration in a very
able manner, much to the peace and
benefit of the state and the people,
who loved him dearly.
1t was not until some 800 or 400
years after his death that Confucius'
memory was ordered by the govern
nient to be honored, and even to the
present day his sacred memory is
duly preserved. He died 479 B. c.

evidence to the county attorneys Tor

the sheriff's department has been IN

though several of the Investigations
lave developed normal conditions as
being the cause of the fires, there are
some with strong suspicion of lncen-
diarism being given further inquiry.
Three arrests have been made
within the last month, two have been
indicted and the suspect in another
case has been committed to the Ban
gor State Hospital for observation as
to his sanity. The number of InVes-

The Maine State Department Of

it is a COW worth seeing. You may
receive first hand proof by merely
asking Brooks Brown, the depart
ments dairy inspector, about its good
qualities. A Journal man did and Mr..
Brown disclosed the following infor-
nation:
The COW mechanical cow-recent-
~ purchased by the department is
not a producer of Henry F'ordS syn
thetical MAX, but consists of an cleo
trical exhibit showing the good quail
tiles and worth of milk and other
dairy products. The exhibit is feet
long, feet high and about IA inches
deep. 1t has figure of q COW chew
ing her cud and at regular intervals
dropping her head into feed box for
the supposed purpose of feeding. Milk
is shown flowing from the udders into
a pail and from there passing through
a glass tube to the milk plant located
at the left. To the right and lower
down are several American homes
and an endless carrier takes to them
ice cream, milk, cream, cottage
cheese, butter and cheese from the
milk plant referred to. People in va
rious walks of life are seen coming
from the homes bound to schools and
industries in the lower left corner
A moving chart furnishes many facts
relative to the food value of dairy
products and one chart gives the av-
erage weekly expenditure for food in
American homes and how it can be
changed to the financial and physical
benefit of the consuming public.
''The Bureau of Dairy Inspection,
Division of Animal Industry. which is
sending out this exhibit, believes that
it is of benefit to the consumer be-
cause it calls to his attention the
value of dairy products and their very
