NEW INVENTIONS AID AV|AT0RS N FLYING 0N CLOUDS Two Horoscopes Form Ma chine for Regulating Plane
 Is Very High

RANTOUL, Ill.,, March 24.-The bank. turn and climb indicator, re- gently invented and perfected by the personnel of McCook Field at Day ton. O.. is hailed by army air ser vice officers at Chanute Field here as safeguarding cloud flying about 90 per cent. It is described by these officers as an instrument so de- signed as to let the pilot know in stantly of any climb, bank, turn or skid his plane is making and the degree of same, being operated by two gyroscopes which are run by the rush of air past the plane.
 The Chanute officers state that the most forceful instance of its value in aerial navigation was recently demonstrated in the airways mis- sion by Lieut.. A. G. Hamilton, of Chanute Field flying a DeHavi- land plane which was not equipped with the indicator, and Lieut.. c. II. Ridenour of McCooll Field, also fly ins DeHaviland plane which had been equipped with the indicator Lieut. Hamilton left Chanute Field for Mitchell Field via McCook Field and Washington. At McCook Field he was joined by Lieut.. Ridenour.
 About 35 miles east of Mounds vile, w. Va, while flying at an all titude of 2,600 feet they encountered the mountains, the peaks of which penetrated dense banks of clouds. As both pilots were equipped with para chutes they determined to try to make their way through the cloud bank rather than turn back. On en- tering the clouds they lost sight of each other. They climbed through 5000 feet of clouds and on emerging into clear blue sky again Lieut.. Hamilton was unable to locate Lieut.. Ridenour. He set a compass course for Washington and landed 65 miles north of there, while Lieut.. Ridenour flew a perfect course and landed d Washington. This would have been almost impossible if his plane had not been equipped with the bank, climb and turn indicator, ac- cording to these officers.

VETERANS START FARM COMMUNITY. IN MISSISSIPPI
Each Veteran Given Fully Equipped 40-Acre Farm.
 Chamber Aids Project

CANTON Mass, March 24.-Veterans of the World war, trained in agri- cultural schools by the United States Veterans bureau, have been loca ted upon farms near here by Blair liar rison, chief of rehabilitation for the Sixth district of the bureau, as an experiment.. It is the first farming community to be established by the bureau in its effort to return to their proper station in society men dis abled in the conflict.
 Each veteran has been given a fully equipped forty-acre farm fac ing upon highway. and it has been arranged that he may own the prop erty within a few years. The farms comprise part of an initial tract of 1880 acres set aside by citizens of Canton and it is proposed ultimately to have 150 veterans in the vicinity and to have under cultivation ap- proxmately 17,0OO acres of truck land.
 The underwriting of the venture is by. the local Chamber of Commerce. which raised fund to guarantee banks for advanced money to con- struct homes and for other purposes.
 Each of the first sixteen farmers has nest egg saved from pay ments made by the bureau during his period of training but part of each monthly compensation check must go toward payment for the land and other equipment furnished by the bureau and citizens of Canton.
 In addition to his land each vet eran will have specially construct ed house of three rooms with two porches, one screened for sleeping. They also will have their own school at which they may continue their agricultural education and at which their children will pursue the usual school work.
 In order that the farrs5 may be stocked, the Illinois Ccntlil Railroad q company has agreed to srovide pure bred hogs and permit thZ veterans 10 pay for them with revenue derived fIcm increases in the herds.
 The veterans will do their own marketing on cooperative basis.

CAPITAL OF AMERICA WILL REBUILD ANGORA
British Take Interest In Plans of
 United States WIELDS WICKED NEEDLE

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 24.- British commercial interests are giv- ing much attention to the efforts of American business houses to obtain concessions from the Kemalst gov ernment. The Federation of British Industries. in a letter to it's mem- bers, points out the growing activi- ties of American capitalists at An gora, and urges them not to over look the economic invasion of Asia Minor.
 The federation mentions the so called Chester project for the con struction of Angora as modern capital. and says the plan calls for the building on an entirely new town. quite independent of the old capital. The city is to be construct ed on wholly modern lines, embody ing electric supply. telephones, broad avenues, skyscrapers, modern drain age and water supply and new gov ernment buildings.
 Another American concern. it is stated. has bade a proposal for the creation in different places in Ana tolia of special workshops for the manufacture and repair of agricul- tural implements. To put this scheme into operation 1t is proposed to float a Turkish company, 90 per cent of whose capital would be supplied by American and the remainder by Turks, while the personnel of the factories would be recrutel from na- tive labor. This proposal. it is said, has already been adopted in principle by the ministry of national economy.

WIND DAMAGES PLANT

The Bessemer Soil Pipe Works was considerably damaged Friday during the high wind, when damage to the roof, walls and smokestacks forced a shutdown. The plant will resume operations on Monday
 The windstorm was one of the severest which has visited this sec tton in many months, but the gust of wind which played havoc with the pipe plant is considered a freak. Spectators state that it is their be- lief that a counter wind was struck. causing the course of the wind to change suddenly at point just over the plant. Several houses nearby were not damaged. though con structed of lighter material.
 The roof of the boiler house was blown away, and the side walls ct the foundry badly warped The smokestack was completely demol- lshed, and tar paper on the roof of the foundry stripped off. No one was hurt.

 Care
BESSEMER BUREAU 1
 THE AGE-HERALD Bessemer. Al0 March 2S

Two county high schools in the Bessemer district, Hueytown and Me Adory, are to be given a seven-ycar period of landscape improvement at the expense of the Alabama Polytech- nci institute, the work having begun recently. The grounds surrounding these schools will be improved under the direction of experts from Auburn for seven years. as an example to other schools of this district. of what can be accomplished in making rural schools attractive.
 J. l.. Briggs of Auburn will be in charge of the work, and last week made surveys of the grounds sur rounding the schools. He will draw d chart showing the development of the seven years of improvement de- tail. all the labor and material charges, and from this experiment. other schools will be furnished With accurate information as to costs, maintenance charges and other items.
 The improvement of the grounds of rural schools was begun under the direction of the rural affairs division of the Chamber of Commerce, with J. w. Leggett and A. E. Ausman in charge Under their direction, and with the assistance of the state agri- cultural experts, many schools of the district are rapidly assuming the as- pect of veritable flower gardens. Hueytown High and McAdoroy High were chosen for the state experiment because of the adaptablity of the soil. and the encouraging cooperation the students and residents of the communities are lending the officials.
 Another interesting announcement of the past week in regard to rural schools was that state aid would be sought for Alliance High school, where Prof. H. A. Fowler has been conducting extension classes in agri- cultural work. If the proposed bill to be introduced in the legislature next session passes, Alliance will greatly enlarge it's agricultural courses, and students will he sent there from adjoining counties for in- StructiOn.
