work to prevent the fire spreading.
No wheat was burned and they
prevented the fire crossing the

Albert H. Bumstead, inventor of
the sun compass which Lieut..
Comdr. Byrd relied on for naviga-
ton during his flight over the North
Pole. is chief photographer of the
National Geographic Society here.
The instrument which Comdr.
Byrd used was made by the inventor
himself and presented by the Ma
tional Geographic Society to Comdr.
Byrd.
The sun compass was devised for
use during the Macmillan Arctic eX
pedition of the National Geographic
Society last Summer, upon which
Comdr. Byrd headed the naval unit
of three planes and eight men.
In the far North the sun is visible
for "a hours Il day in Summer. The
compass depends upon the fact that
the sun moves regularly around the
sky in "a hours and, by having the
clock with a 24-hour dial, the pointer
can be kept following the sun while
the instrument remains in one posi-
ton.
Mr.. Bumstead. the inventor of the
compass, was first associated with
the National Geographic Society as
the photographer of it's expedition to
Machu Picchu, home of an early Inca

In the Eastern States today had claim
ed at least one life and had caused
Uiamage estimated well in excess of
81 900 900.
In Pennsylvania students Of Buck
nell University were back at their
books after having rendered cour-
ageous service in halting fire that
swept into the mountains three miles
from Lewis. State foresters placed
the loss at 100000.
New Jersey was hardest hit, with
three serious fires and the loss of
one life. A woman was burned to
death when fire destroyed 16 houses
in Atlantic County. The flames were
1ashed by a stiff wind and rapidly
swept along a 10-mile front. In other
sections of the county three other
fires were raging. In northern New
Jersey five separate timber blaZes,
several of considerable extent, were
threatening areas at isolated points
from Greenwood Lake to the Delaware
River, near BlairstoWn.
In New England thousands of acres
of ruined timberland testified to the
destructiveness of the flames over the
week end, but there were no serious
blazes which had not been effectually
halted.
