Radio Compass Stations as
Far as North Carolina.

Radio compass stations along the
Atlantic coast from Boston to Norfolk
probably viii be opened TO serve naval
and other aircraft travelling the coastal
airways within the next month, due to
tho unexpectedly rapid work of the
dirciblc Los Angeles in celebrating
these stations in order to determine

compass center.
The Los Angeles is scheduled to
leave its l.akehurt. y. j.. hangar

trip to North Carolina was scheduled
for this morning but poStponement
was forced on account Of the low viS-
biity. 1t will leave as soon as prac-

The method Of celebration consists
Of flying the Los Angeles in "A 15-
mile circle at slow speed around each
compass station. The ship keeps
at an altitude that makes her visible

sends out continuous radio impulses
which are received and checked for
compass direction at the station.

The results of the radio compass
hearing and the actual visual bearing
are checked all around the compass

liShcd for each station.
Use Of the radio compass stations,
which we're first established at the
close of the war. has increased so
greatly that during the last year
they furnished bearings in more than
100 900 cases, answering requests re-
ceiNed from distant ships.

sufficient scope to cause the govern
ment to modify its religious attitude.
With regard to Protestant church
es, it is explained that the govern
ment, in announcing that it would en-
force the law as it applies to all
churches, does not mean that the gov
eminent will Immediately seize or
convert Protestant church property to
its own use, but will reserve the right
to do so in the future under the con-
tention that all church property be-
longs to the nation.
All Protestant pastors will be re-
quired to register and give to the mu-
nicipal authorities an inventory of all
church property, but each congrega-
ton will be allowed to use this prop
erty.
1t is the belief of the Catholic epis-
copate that several government lead
ers have been automatically
communicated from the church by
reason of their attitude in the church
controversy. The opinion was ex-
pressed in a statement made by the
episopate to a question submitted
bp DR.. Alva Taylor, editor of "The
Christian Century," in the United
States, who is at the head of group
of American ministers and writer's
ment also said that the Mexican con-
stitution attacked the divine origin
of the church, its objective, its min
listers and it's property.

MA" Refuses to Keep
Primary Promise

Governor Miriam A. Ferguson to-
day declared she was in the race
for governor of Texas with all her
heart" In 1000 word statement
she declared that Attorney General
Dan Moody, her chief opponent ne
yer had accepted her offer to resign.
The governors statement presages
a heated two weeks campaign for the
democratic nomination, which in Tex
as, means election.
Mrs. Ferguson makes the X. K. K.
her principal issue, declaring that
the Khan is celebrating Moody's large
vote in the first primary as ga Khan
victory"
Moody's vote in the first primary
was about 100000 which was Ito
short of a majority over all other
candidates. The Texas law requires
a run off primary for those offices in
which no candidates received ma
jority.
Mrs. Ferguson declares that her
duty to her state "is greater than my
personal preference for private life at
this time"

leo City's two Protestant churches
carried out the usual services Sunday
and no move was made to interfere
with them.
Goodly numbers of worshipers en-

of the second week of the deadlock on
the religious situation between the
Catholic church and the government.
No disorders were reported from any
part of the republic.
Today the Catholic episcopate,
which withdrew the priests from the
churches and suspended services in
them as protest against the govern
ment's religious regulations, gave no
signs of abandoning it's. passive op-
position. The government, on its
part, with equal firmness maintained
that it must enforce the constitution
of the country.
The people generally seemed resign

HE WAS THE WHOLE THING

Not so long ago, the story runs, a
travelling man visited a certain small
town and sold the proprietor of its
general store order Of jewelry. When
the jewelry arrived it was not as re-
presented and the merchant conse-
quently returned it.
But the wholesale house neverthe-
less ATTEMPTED to collect the bill, and
drew a sight draft on the merchant
through the local bank, which return
ed the draft unhonored. The whole
saler then wrote to the postmaster
about the financial standing of the
merchant, and the postmaster replied
that it was o. X. By return mail the
wholesale dealer requested him to col
lect the bill and they received the fol-
lowing reply:

Governor Theodore Christensen last
week stepped into the movement to
make Minnesota highways safe by an
nouncing that he will call state
safety conference for some time in
September. The governor has been
requested to call the safety confer

cities, he said.
The problem of handling the men
ace of the drunken driver will be
among the most important questions
considered at the meeting. The prob
lem of the intoxicated driver, cause
of many serious accidents, has come
to the fore in recent weeks since
judges discovered they have the power
under 1925 law to order licenses Of
men convicted of drunken driving re-
voked.
Since the movement started in Min
nesota, judges and prosecuting Off
GERS in every section of the state have
pledged themselves to use the newly
discovered power and have ALREADY
