THREE SHARE HONOR
IN COMPASS WORK |

guide him from New York to Paris.

tion. but should be distributed between
tho Engineering Division of the Army
Air Corps. the Bureau of Standards
and the manufacturers of the inStru-
ments the War Department declared
today in formal statement.
Realizing the urgent need of a reli-
able compass for bombing planes,
whose mission is that of traversing
long distances under various weather
conditions and reaching directly their
objective, the Army Air Corps initi-
ated the development of the earth in
ductor compass, the department said.
During the fiscal years 1921 to 1928
$4 900 of Army Air Corps experimental
funds was transferred to the Bureau
of standards for Il preliminary study
and investigation of the possibilities
of this instrument. Most of the flight
testing work which led to the present
state of perfection of the earth in
ductor compass was done by the
flight test section of McCook Field,
Dayton. Ohio, it was added.
Three Models Built.
In May. 1921, or six years after its
demonstration to the satisfaction of
the world. the first working model
suitable for air test was received
from the Bureau of Standards by
the Engineering Division at McCook
Field. Two other models were built.
but it was not until the last one re-
ceived II very thorough test that the
Engineering Division concluded that
the purely scientific work was about
completed and that it was then
case of engineering to perfect the
instrument.
Numerous long distance and
blind flights were made with the
compass to test it's accuracy. on
September 6, 1928 Lieut.. Albert +.
Hegenberger and Bradley Jones'
both of McCook Field, flew from Day
ton to Boston without stopping.
Most of the flight was made out of
sight of the ground and with no
objects available to check the course.
Compass Worked Perfectly.
A short time later, Lieut.. A. l..
Johnson, of McCook Field. flew from
Dayton to Fort Riley. Kans., dis
tance of 675 miles. one-half of which
was flown above the clouds. Diving
through the clouds the pilot found
himself directly over railroad
bridge, which was a point on the
course for which the compass had
been set.
On March 7, 1924. the late Lieut.. Eu-
gene II. Barksdale and Mr.. Jones flew
from Dayton to New York City-575
miles-at an altitude of 1000 feet and
above the clouds with only one inter
mediate land check, and this at Read
ing. Pa New York Harbor lay under
heavy fog, but so truly had the plane
been held to it's course through the
earth inductor compass that descent
was made through the clouds directly
over the harbor. Other cross-country
trips from Dayton included a flight to
Albany. n. Y, in April, 1924 to Pensa-
cola, Fla. in 1925; to Minneapolis
Mimi. in March. 1925. and to san An

BEAUTY CHAlS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

for it? Last week told of a woman
who took as an ideal some pictures of
an English actress whom she hap
pened to resemble slightly. and how
she improved herself trying to be
more like the pictures. I always smile
at the young girls / see initiating any
of the popular screen or stage stars.
They've got their ideal. and even If it
sometimes makes them look odd-such
as wearing curls over their shoulders
when their hair ought to be tucked
up neatly, or bobbed short lit gives
them something to work for.
I'd suggest taking as an ideal the
very incest woman you know, or know
of. She may be some one quite beyond
or outside your own circle of friends.
Be sure it is some one with intelli.

she is more or less the type you are
or ought to be, so much the better.
Copy her! 1t doesn't matter that
you are copying-so long as you copy
something good. Copy her gracious
manners, her graceful way of walk
ing or sitting, her attractive ways OF
talking, copy. if you want, certain
pretty mannerisms. You don't have
to be copycat long-you'll find that In
few weeks, at most a few months
you'll have adopted modified and
finally completely changed the Dor
rowed mannerisms and made them
different and distinctly your own.
They'll be an improvement. If your
ideal was a good one.

Tomorrow is day that is rather
menacing in planetary direction.
according to astrology, but certain
benefic aspects are strong.
There is a fortunate sign for bust.
nes men. who may expect good trade
in many lines.
Professors and all who lead thought
are subject to the most favorable
influences.
Women should be wary in business
or in social contacts while this con-
tiguration prevails.
The seers have warned women that
they are in stage that is preparatory
to great development in public service
and they counsel patience for oppor-
tunites that are coming.
Speculation at this time may be
tempting, but it will entail losses. if
the stars are read Alright.
Food will attract wide attention,
for scientific eating is to become an
important concern Of men and women,
the seers prophesy. Many nervous
disorders will manifest themselves in
the next few weeks, it is foretold, and
for this reason there should be much
patience within the family circle.
Under this sway there may be a
tendency to irritability and it is wise
to avoid argument.
Scandals and unkind gossip are
supposed to be encouraged under this
rule of the stars.
South America and Australia will
benefit tremendously within the next
few months. it Is prognosticated.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of happy year. in which
they will find that friends are helpful

Children born on that day probably
will be cheerful in disposition and
keen in intellect. They should be able
to conquer all obstacles.

To Nine Years.

NV dear Nine Years-I know you
have a lot Of trouble with the grown
up people because you are not gentle.
Being gentle means to go through
the world without hurting anything
or anybody. 1t takes quite long
time to know how to do that. Some
times people grow old and never
know the secret. Their folks maybe
didn't have time to tell them, or
their teachers forgot or something.
I'd hate TO have you grow up without
knowing how to be gentle.
You begin by seeing how quietly
you can close the door; how lightly
YOU can cross the hard floor; how
softly you can lay things down. If
anybody jumps when you do any or
thee things, if anybody says, MY,
how you scared mel! you didn't reach
gentleness. You'll have to try again.
When you talk your voice should
be pleasant like little tune playing
in the brook. Gay like that, and
happy, never rough nor loud. Many
children shout so that people cover
their ears. II anybody shakes his
head and holds fast to his ears and
says, "My, my. I'm not deaf. Speak
gently" you'll know you missed
again. Try once more and see If
your voice can sound like brook
with the sun shining in it. 1t will
if you work it right. Fancy having
a voice like that! You could win the
world with 1t.
When people, big or little, are talk
ing all together and very loud and
fast, stand back and be still. If you
are very still. If you are gentle and
not forward, your spirit will bring
order and peace, and you will know
the grace of gentleness which Is
very sweet knowing, my children.
There Is no gentleness in the per-
son who wants to be first. If you
meet such a one let him hurry by,
and do you go on in your own steady.
gentle fashion. A wise old lady says,
II always wonder what they do with
all the time they save. those hurry
ing, pushing ones?" They save moth.
ing, my children, and they lose the
great power Of gentleness.
Gentleness has great power
Watch and see if 1t Is not true. The
little dog that 4arks and yaps and
scurries and paws his way about
isn't half as much good as the quiet.
gentle dog who goes his way and bares
his teeth only when he sees his loved
ones in danger. The man who scolds
and threatens all day long Is never
noticed, while the gentle one, who
speaks quietly and only when 1t is
necessary. Is obeyed and followed.

After all, wnat had he been but kind

much she had loved Tom. Was it
her fault that she couldn't love him
Martin saw her slim white fingers
twisting together nervously. and
spoke again.
IF you don't mind. we won't say
anything more about it tonight" His
voice was tense with the control he
was forced to exert. Couldn't she
see that 1t meant something to him
to give her up? Didn't she know
how much he cared?
She stood there before him now.
eyes big and dark beneath her white
forehead and those white fin
gers twisting. Fascinatedly. Martin
watched the effect of his words on
her hands. Almost instantly they re-
! laxed. Had she thought he would
make it difficult for her? Did she
hate him as much as that?
Good night, Martin" Nan spoke
almost in a whisper, land thank you
for being so, So"
Her voice died away before she
could find word. She turned. hesi-
tated moment and then moved to-
ward the door.
Martins hands clenched. He
couldn't believe that she was really
going. When she reached the door
way, 1t would be just as If she were
passing out of his life. Why did he
let her go?
The beaded frock swished as she
walked. 1t made a sibilant sound in
the room. And now she had reached
the doorway. She was passing
through it. Everything was over!
He walked to the window and
gazed down into Park avenue. far be-
low. But his eyes saw nothing save
that white little face that was etched
on his brain. He wondered II he
would ever forget 1t or cease to see
it. When she went out of his life
it would be as definitely over as if
he had actually died.
In her own room. Nan was eXhila-
rated once more: 1t seemed like
friendly room tonight. She was going
to be happy. But was she happy
was she really? She had thought her
escape from Martin would bring her
happiness, but would it? Martin had
seemed so strange tonight, so unlike
his usual self. Not that it was neces-
sary for her to think about that, but
she did. 1t was becoming increas-
ingly difficult to think of anything
else. She wanted to put all thought
Of him out of her mind and concen-
trate on the gorgeous idea of free
DOM But she couldn't. Why?
A little vein had come out on Mar
tins forehead when he had talked to
her. She had watched fascinatedly
as it throbbed. Oh. he was SO kind
and so good and so generous! Why
,, couldn't she love him? Was 1t be-
