Islands, which appears as q curve
on the chart, is fifty-Heven miles
shorte. than the apparent straight
line between the same points.
The straight line" drawn on q
globe would be seen as q curve.
while the great circle course would
be the real straight line.
Although this Is plain enough
when you have worked 1t out
with q globe, it is not easily
made clear without such aid.
This diagram may be helpful

observer looked down upon the
North Pole.
First, suppose you are 70 sail

points BIB. They lie exactly east
and west from one another In 40
degrees N. latitude, but Il you
follow the parallel you will have
to go farther than If you follow
the dotted line, which represents
the great circle running through
the same points. This dotted
line is formed just as Il yon
lifted up half of the great circle
of the equator out of the plane
of the paper. swinging its nearer
edge north, as If it were the
handle OF q pail.
Take the points &C in 90 de-
grees. Plainly the distance along
the great circle drawn through
them is very much less than that
along the parallel. In fact the
gain rapidly increases in. high lAti-
tudes, and evidently IL the points
were at id. on the opposite sides
of the pole, the distance on the
parallel would be enormously
greater than that along the great
circle, which now cuts through

0OME seafarers who have
been tossed In the late At
~ lantic storms wish to know
what great circle sailing is.
That any landsman who has just
made a stormy voyage should be
interested in such q matter Is
credit to his intellectual aplonb.
To sail on q great circle and
never fan Off Of it on either side.
is the far-traveIing seaman's
beautiful but unattainable ideal.
He can keep near q great circle,
however, and by sailing fairly
close along its course he can save
hundreds Of miles on q long vOy-
age, from the distance he would
have to go If he tried to follow q
straight line on the chart; or to
keep to a parallel OF latitude,
going east or west, anywhere, ex-
cept near the equator.
The underlying principle. or
fact, of great circle sailing Is that
the shortest distance between any
two points on the surface OF
a globe lies along some great cir
Gle, on which both those points
are situated. And any two points
on the globe may have a great
circle drawn through them.
To satisfy yourself that this is
so, the best and absolutely unri-
vailed way Is to take q geograph-
ical globe and experiment. Sim
ply remember that a great cir

that its plane cuts through the
center Of the globe. On the other
hand any circle around the globe
whose plane cuts through the
globe to one side Of the center

The equator is great circle;
so, too. all the meridians are
great circles because they all meet
at the opposite poles, and their
planes all cut through the center
of the globe. The parallels Of
latitude are small circles, and
smaller the nearer they are to the
poles.

Dairy Cows Should
Freshen in September

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
There are many advantages in hav-
ing COWS freshen in September and
in most cases it will pay to hold the
open COWS over and breed them during
December and January, says Prof
r. W. Atkeson, university dairy hus-
bandman. Cows bred after Deem
Der will freshen after September g.
Some of the advantages of this
schedule follow: The bulk of pro-
duction is during the period of high
est prices for dairy products; the
greater part Of the labor in handling
the cow comes during the winter
months when the farmer has time to
give his cows good care; fall calves
usually do better than spring calves
and are ready to go on grass in the
spring; cows tend to freshen up on
flow in the spring when turned on
grass ;cows can be turned dry dur
ing the two busiest summer months.
cat the present time the dairyman
should turn his attention to getting
the bull in condition for breeding.
Conditioning measures include the
following; Trimming feet, especially
If bull is old; turning out in large
paddock for exercise; getting in
fairly good flesh but not overfat; re-
ducing barrel, or paunch.
"The bull must have plenty of exer-
else if he is to be a sure and active
breeder. If he is to take enough ex-
ercise his feet must not hurt him.
One of the most common abuses of
old bulls is to let their feet grow
out until they must walk on their
heels.
by reducing the hay to small
quantity and substituting grain the
bull will be in good flesh, and will
be vigorous and active in service be-
cause he will have little paunch."

Idaho Land Reserved
As Recreation Area


An area known as the "City of
Rocks" in the state of Idaho rivalling
the famous Garden of the Gods in
Colorado, has been reserved from pub
lie land settlement pending legisla-
ton for it's conversion into an out
door recreational area.
Authority for the withdrawal was
contained in an executive order is
sued on the recommendation of the
Secretary of the Interior. The tract
is located in Gooding County near
Gooding, Idaho, and comprises ap-
proximately 11,S23 acres. 1t consists
almost entirely Of public lands upon
which are a number of peculiar ba-
saltic formations from SO to 100 feet
in height similar to those in the Gar
den of the Gods.
The Getty Of Rocks" has been used
as an outing place by people living
in the locality and by tourists for
some time. The Chamber Of Com
merce Of Gooding recently requested
its retention in public ownership and
an investigation by the field force
of the General Land Office resulted
in a recommendation for the with
drawal
Its reservation is in accordance with
the general plans of the National Con-
ference on Outdoor Recreation to re-
quest legislation authorizing the res
ervation of tracts of public lands
chiefly valuable for national recrea-
ton areas.

The gland which is responsible for
the cause Of diabetes is the pancreas,
and insulin, being made chiefly from
the pancreas of beeves and sheep,
supplies the deficiency. 1t is injected
by hypodermic needle. Its discovery
recently by medical research workers

But with diabetes, as with other

Rum Runner in Smashup

SANDPOINT.-Sam Webb, federal
prohibition enforcement officer, is
nursing painful bruises and Cecil
Howard, liquor runner, 35, was in
local hospital with serious injuries
about the shoulders and arms, the
result Of Howard, in Buick sedan
smashing into a county car which
blocked the Park river bridge. The
accident occurred when county and
federal officers stopped their car on
the bridge to halt Howard, whom they
expected was coming through with a
load Of liquor.
Howard's sedan scraped the officers
across as it passed and then struck
Webb before turning over into the
ditch. Howard crawled from the
wreckage and attempted to escape
but was quickly taken into custody
by the officers.
1t is estimated that the liquor run
ner was travelling between As and so
miles an hour when he hit the county
car, Dodge touring, which was
slightly damaged.
Howard will face federal revenue
act violation and liquor charges, as
soon as he is able to appear in court.
Eighteen cases Of beer and a case of
Whiskey were in Towards car.
Federal Officer Webb suffered no
briken bones but he is badly bruised
about the hips and legs.
Mr.. Webb was about 20 feet behind
the county car which blocked the
bridge when the rum runner ap-
preached the bridge. He attempted
to reach safety but was hit as he
was heading for the fence a1ong the
road.

G.. N. Reduces Service

Observation-Disclosures Of the
closing Of the fruit shipping season,
railroad officials notified shippers be-
tween Wenatchee and Leavenworth
that the daily service. between the
two places has been discontinued.
This service is usually continued into
December but because Of the small
shipments the tri-weekly service is
deemed sufficient Some Of the ship
pers are objecting to the order and it
may be continued until December !,
it is believed.
Bert Baker, secretary of the We
natchee Valley Traffic Association,
reported today that apple shipments
for the season total 10,7S7 cars, com
pared with 9144 last year at this
time.
