CHAWJTE AVIATORS
Make AIR M0SAICS
Largest One Completed Is That Of
State Of Kansas

Rantoul, III, March 9.--What is a
Mosaic in Airplane parlance?
Officers at Chanute Field here de-
scribe it as an aerial map made by a

triangle formed by Atchison, Kan,
southeast following the Missouri river
to Kansas City. west to Lawrence,
Kan, thence north to Atchison. Fort
Leavenworth is included in this tri-
agile which covers approximately 1900
square miles. The Mosaic is to be
used for training purposes in the
General Service School at Fort Leav-
enworth.
In making a Mosaic the camera
takes an exposure which measures
eighteen by twenty-four centimeters
and at an altitude of 5000 feet each
exposure will cover a territory of
seven thousand by nine thousand feet.
At this altitude the camera is set to
take one exposure every seventeen
seconds and is operated by an OBJ
server and is carried by special
plane suitable for the purpose. The
Pilot must exercise extreme care in
keeping the plane at the stipulated
altitude and to fly perfectly level.
When the territory is completely
covered the exposures are developed,
numbered and printed and these
prints are them assembled and the
completed whole forms map of the
district photographed which in air
plane parlance, is known as THE
Mosaic"
According to officers at Chanute
field maps have also been completed
Of Camp Custer, Mich, and surround
ing territory; and of st. Louis. obi
ques have been completed Of Decatur,
Springfield, Champaign, Urbana, Dan

modern "Fagin" is teaching young
people to use narcotics. Smugglers
are believed to be the chief source Of
supply. Mrs. Webster said that many
children in Juarez are forming the
habit or already are confirmed addicts
to the use of various drugs.
Curiosity is one of the chief fac
tors in the forming of the habit, au-
thorities say as many will try it once,
ignorant of the misery that follows.
A few years ago, according to oorpor-
alton Judge Charles Pollock. one
could have counted the drug users on
the fingers of one hand. Now, he says,
there is an average of one a day at
least. before him, not counting the
many who fall into the hands Of fed
eral officers and are sent to Leaven-
worth prison for cure.
Drug addicts are not now confined
to the poverty stricken, but are found
in all walks of life, from the poorest
to the members of rich social circles,
college boys and girls and various
employees of the business world, &C.
cording to these authorities.
Judge Manuel Ayala, of the Juarez
lower court declares that the tricks
employed by narcotic vendors are
many and varied and constitute a
difficult problem for the officers.
One trick was discovered when
man was arrested for selling small
match boxes to boys at % cents each.
proved that a drug was
wrapped in small papers and hidden
beneath the matches.
Another ruse is the hiding of the
drug in cigarette packages.
