30 miles long, due to the accuracy of
his dead-reckoned position. Thus 1t is
seen that one line is not sufficient to
fix the position of the airship accu-
rately, so another line is necessary.
AS the airship is assumed to be fly
ing on a given meridian, the time

drawn on a chart.
Similarly, it is possible to draw the

SerVation of the sun. Where these
two lines intersect will be the air
ships location at the instant of obser

reference to the airship's position, may
then be found, and a course set with
reference to the sun.

RED CROSS PRIZES
FOR HERO|SM GIVEN
First Award Goes to James
G. White-W0man and
Boy Get Honors.

Feats of heroism. quick wit and
resourcefulness are recorded in the
annual first aid and life saving awards
announced today by the American Red
Cross for the year 1925. All of the
eight recipients of the awards. Whlch
carry cash prizes, had been trained
by the Red Cross in first aid and life
saving methods and were selected
from among many applicants.
First prize in the first aid awards
went to James 6. White, an employe
of the Western Electric Co, for
heroism and resourcefulness displayed
in rescuing another employe of the
company after he had come in con
tact with a high voltage wire on the
roof of five-story building at Van
couver, Wash White effected the
rescue at peril to his own life.
Telephone Worker Wins.
Elmer r. Porter of Greensburg, Pa,
line foreman of the Bell Telephone
co. of Pennsylvania, won the second
first aid prize for his feat of stopping
the flow of blood from the ruptured
artery of an injured mOtorist by press
ing his finger on the artery for 45
minutes before an ambulance arrived
First aid methods that saved the
life of an injured motOrist also won
the third prize award for William
Zellman. employe of the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co, who was
working at the time near Reno. NeV.
Fourth prize for first aid went to
Fred Quint. employe of the Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co, at
Biloxi, Miss.
In the life saving awards. first prize
was given George r. DimitrOf Of
Jamaica Plain. Mass. for the rescue
from drowning of 11-year-old Eugene
I Churchill at York Beach. Me, last
September. Dimitroff's feat of rescu-
ing the boy by swimming with him
through a heavy tide and sea along a
rocky stretch of coast was performed
at great peril to his own life, the
award sets forth.
Woman Given Prize.
Second prize for life saving went to
Mrs. Ruth Sutton of Jacksonville for
swimming to the rescue of four girls
I in the surf at Jacksonville Beach.
i Third prize was awarded to Miss
| Helen LOux of Pocatello. Idaho. for
going to the rescue Of two men in the

longitude east or west of the Meridian
| of Greenwich?
Dead-reckoning, or keeping track of
| the direction of travel and OF the dis
tance covered from hour to hour
forms the basis Of all navigation,
whether travelling in ships upon the
seas or by airship above them.
The magnetic compass, invented
more than 500 years ago, is still used
by naVigators to guide them over the
oceans. That the compass does not
point true north, but always toward
The magnetic north pole, was 1rSt en-
phaSiZed during the voyage OF Column
bus. When it was discovered that the
needle was pointing almost IL degrees
to the west of the North Star, mu-
tiny threatened to break out among
his sailors. Navigation charts now
tell us just how much the compass
points east or west Of true north. and
by allowing for the variation a fairly
accurate account of the course can be
| kept.
The reason for this variation is that
the earth's magnetic poles do not lie
at the same spot as the geographic
poles. In fact. the magnetic North
Pole, which attracts the compass
needle, lies 1900 miles to the south OF
the geographic North Pole, on the
|
tion in the Arctic regions, where the
directive force of the earths magnetic
field Is very weak, owing to the near
ness of the magnetic pole, the usual
magnetic compass is not reliable for
aircraft, upon which there is more
of a tendency for the needle to swing
than in surface ship. For this rea-
son variations as high as 1S0 degrees
may be encountered in the Polar Sea
Amundsen's Sun Compass.
AS science has no information con
cerning the exact amount of this vari-
alton in these regions. a 'Sun com
pass" has been devised by Amundsen
for use when the sun is shining. This
| instrument is operated by ClOCkWork
| If properly set before starting, it will
always indicate true north by a prism
reflected image of the sun in ground
glass directly in front of the pilot, so
long as one keeps on the same merid-
ian to which the compass is adjusted.
The principle can he illustrated by
pointing the hour hand of your watch
toward the sun. The approximate te
rth,south direction will be halfway Y
between the hour hand and the .
o'clock mark on the watch.
Since the sun compass depends upon
| a knowledge of the airship's position
for its indications, any errors in dead
reckoning will introduce errors in the
direction as indicated by the sun com
pass. Not only must the course of the
airship be known. but also the speed
through the air. the speed over ths
ground and, finally, the deviation
from the course steered or the drift
angle, must be ascertained. These
data. when combined on a calculating
machine, show Immediately what new
course TO steer under the existing wind
conditions.
Charting the Course.
/ Owing to the variable winds and the
ground fogs that prevail in the Arctic
| in the Summer months, a dead
reckoned position must be checked up
by some other means. The sun is the
only celestial body on which observa-
tions may he made a this time of
year. When the navigator measures
the altitude of the sun he knows only
that he is somewhere on a line. the

Americans Gratefully Recall
KosciuszkO's Service to Nation

Observance of the 150th anniver-
sary of Kosciuszko's offer of service
in the American Revolution was the
occasion of affectionate and admlring
tributes by the American press to this
champion of liberty and hero Of two
nations.
Recalling that Washington found
Kosciuszko "a gentleman of science
and merit" and that Jefferson SAID
of him that "he was as pure son
of liberty as he had ever known,
the San Francisco Bulletin declares
that "his fame endureS, and will en-
dure as long as liberty has power OF
inspiration. His monument con-
tinues that paper. 'is in the memory
of men wherever men are moved by
the spirit of freedom. From distant
Poland, where his name is house
hold word, to far off Australia, Where
the highest mountain has been named
in his honor, and all around the globe,
Kosciuszko is ranked among the illus
trious champions of liberty. He loved
it for others as much as for himself.
While KosciusZko day has never
been generally observed in this coun-
try, the Canton Daily News says that
fact does not detract from the I'M
portance of the events which this
anniversary marks, and asks: Can
the name of KosciuszkO perish from
among the list of those who gave
their all for liberty? Is there one In
all of Americas proud history en-
titled to a greater measure of honor
and reverence than this man who
gave everything for people not or
his own blood?"

life should be familiar to every

Power by Radio.

Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor, in
an address before the Institute Of Civil
Engineers in London, forecasts new
wonders OF science. He predicts the
possibility of the use of electric waves
for the transmission Of power. This
is not a new suggestion. 1t has been
contemplated ever since the develop.
ment Of radio, which followed Mar
coni's first advance in wireless

achieved, but 1t would be idle to say
that there is no likelihood Of its &C.

person who denies or doubts the pos.
abilities of etheric vibration. in the
light Of the marvels Of the last decade.

Dispatch Of energy by etheric waves
would solve the power problem. It
would permit the use of white coal"
the water power that is so abundant
and yet go little utilized. In most
cases these great sources of power
are located at a distance from the
points of use. It is impracticable to
develop Industrial establishments at
or close to them, because of the long
hauls necessary for the marketing Of
products. Much has been done
toward the distribution by cables
Of electric energy from water power
generating plants. but the loss in
transmission is serious drain and,
moreover, there is danger in the send,
ing Of high potency currents by con-
ductors, however carefully safe
guarded. II a way were found to
transmit electric energy through the
air without conductors and without
appreciate loss there would be no
limitation on the development Of the
water power.
Marconi is himself working along
this line. Since he made his great
discovery Of a means of using the
Hertzian rays for the transmission Of
signals, which has developed into the
radio marvels of today, he has been
quietly investigating. experimenting
and exploring. 1t would appear from
his statement in London that he is on
the track Of the solution.
