The FIERY CROSS

Suggested by the "Fiery Cross on
Pixies Peak, as pictured in The I'M
perial Night Hawk.
Higher, ever higher, mounts the
Fiery Cross;
Farther, ever farther, DER the land
it goes;
Spreading holy principles of right
eoousness and truth,
Liberty and justice, for aged and for
youth.
Deeper, ever deeper, in the hearts of
men;
Firmer, ever firmer, it's truths are
singing in;
Teaching them that Purity's the only
thing worth while
That Equity, morality, must over
come what's vile.
Sweeter, ever sweeter, is the story
that it tells;
Greater, ever greater, the respect
that it compels;
For it overcomes corruption, and
everything that's bad;
To the weak gives inspiration, cheers
the lonely and the sad.
So higher, ever higher, may the
Fiery Cross arise
Till it's scintilating glory fills the
Nations longing eyes, ..-
Heralding the victory that for US
all awaits,
Through the ruling 'by the people
of these great United States.

THIS MAGAZINE PROVED
TO BE WIDE TRAVELLER

The Imperial Night-Hawk makes
some pretty long flights, but an 800
mile futter by one copy which was
read by eight different Klansmen
bids fair to establish record.
It happened in the Realm of Wyo-
ming where distances are great. The
copy of the Imperial Night Hawk
started from the Kavern at Caspar,
Wyoming. A rancher rode fifty miles
with it and turned it over to a
friend. He in turn passed it on. It
came back to Caspar, dog cared and
dirty, with the names and addresses
of eight Klansmen who had read it
written on the cover.
The Grand Dragon of Wyoming is
keeping it as a souvenir.

KLANSMEN'S CRITERION

Christ is the Klansman's criterion
of character and conduct in all ques-
tons with which he has to deal. The
Golden Rule is simple and easily ap-
piled: Do unto others as you
would have others do unto you.
Every thought and act at variance
with the Sermon on the Mount is un-
sound and false according to Khan
kraft. IL

CAMERA TO RECORD WINNER
Method Of Timing Race 10 Declared
to Be Beyond All Possibility
Of Error.

The moving-picture camera is to be
put to new use; It Is to time exactly
the runners In race.
When two competitors come in very
close together 1t Is extremely difficult
for the umpire to say which was first,
and often two men are so near that
the result Is declared dead-heat.
In all cases probably one Of the men
Is fraction In front Of the other, but
the eye is unable to note such minute
differences.
Now clock Is to be erected at the
winning post, and as the winners come
In they will be photographed with q
kinema-camera, which. will time their
arrival to the hundredth part Of Sec
ond. II the winner breaks the tape
only one eighth Of an inch in front
Of his nearest competitor the camera
will note the fact.
The camera will be focused stimuli
taneously on the clock at the winning
post and on a mirror rejecting the
start Of the race. Both clock and
camera will be set working before the
starter fires his pistol, and the fash
Of the pistol win be reflected In the
mirror and recorded on the film with
the time Of the clock to hundredth
Of a second.
This time can then be subtracted
from the time Of the finish, and the
exact time Of the race for each man
arrived at.
There win now be very few dead
heats in running matches.
