Army Airmen to Study Post
Gatty Journey-NeW Speed
Indicator Is Result.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Fruits Of the Post-Gatty eight-day
dash around the world are being plucked
by Uncle Sam.
From the work Of the record-break-
ing team lessons are being pieced to-
gether to be taught to military ayia-
tors. They will be available to aviation
In general.
A major development Of the flight
under Government consideration Is the
novel drift and ground-speed indicator
which Navigator Harold Gatty devised
and tested to his satisfaction on W.
charter airwayS of the world.
Seeks Patent Papers.
He has been In Washington several
days and tentative arrangements have
been made with the War and Navy De-
partments to seek patent papers and OBJ
tain Government license for use of the
instrument.
Details are being withheld by the
navigator until patent rights are set
tied. It is, however, an instrument
allowing a flyer to calculate his drift
and groundSpeed without using a watch
and sighting on some prominent SUI
face object.
1.-THE instrument may be, and was,
used" he said, lover oceans and to
some degree over fog to give the pilot
with very little error those measure
ments of drift and ground speed neces-
sary to maintain his course"
Mounted by Gatty in a Navy plane,
it has undergone several flight tests
under observation Of representatives of
the Bureau of Aeronautics and the
photographic Office and found to be ac-
curate to within a few tenths of per
cent.
Weighs IN Pounds.
The instrument is the original one
used In the Winnie Mae on the world
flight. 1t weighs 212 pounds, but can
be cut down, Gatty said, to / u pounds.
Gatty also Is submitting all data
gathered on the fight to be revoked
by the photographic Office to learn the
different methods of navigation used,
when and how they were employed and
with what effect.
In addition, the Army Air Corps is
preparing, for instructing its flyers, a
set Of slides based on the technique, in
struments. charts and methods used.

FOR COMFORT AT SEA

Seasickness and other discomforts of ocean travel in stormy weather will be eliminated when the gy- ro-stabilizer comes into general use.
 This stabilizer which is really huge top made to spin at high speed has been developed to practical stage and several have been ordered for installation in vessels. Undoubtedly time will them installed in steamers operating to Alaska.
 The largest far made weights 120 tons and it's rotor is capable of being spun at the rate of 930 revo tions per minute by of 200horse-power motor It takes hour to get the rotor up to full speed and it will continue to spin for two hours after the power is shut off.
 Engineers say that stabilizer of this size will pre- vent 450 foot ship from rolling more than two degrees m heavy storm.
 A new 45000-ton Italian liner being built will have three huge gyrostabzers, it is understood and it expected that this device will be adopted for use gen eray in the finest passenger ships of the future Stabizers have been successfully used for time yachts and other small craft and it is believed that they will be equally effective on the largest ships.
 If expectations are realized ocean passengers of the future may be abe regardless of the weather to eat their meals in comfort and best of a retain them after they eaten.

GO
BACK TO'FARMS

Moscow, Feb. 16.-Russia is GO
ing back to the farm, according
to figures just issued by the gov
eminent.
During the last 10 days in Jan
uary and the first 10 days in Feb
ruary total of 10000 families
joined the collective farms, the
figures show. This migration is
the greatest in history. Develop
ment of these farms always has
been the backbone of the soviet
movement.
The word coined" is used by
the government as meaning these
families have made application to
enter the collective farms. The
majority will be accepted altho the
kulaks or rich peasants are not
permitted to take part in the
movement.
In contrast to the present situa-
ton, the government was having
difficulty in getting families fol
the farms last year and almost
had to force the peasants to re
turn to the soil. Under presen
conditions according to the author
tiles, enthusiasm for farm life i
so great the government can picl
and choose those it wishes to pu
at this work.
Most of the families who hav
applied to join the movement com
from Caucasus, the upper and low
err Volga, from the Ukrainian re
public, north, and the German re
public. They are expected to NOV
to the farms gradually during tn
spring in time to get next season
crops planted.
It is estimated the collectiv
farms will cultivate 6 100000
hectares of land in 1881. The cal
ital invested by the state on tn
collective farms this year is pla'
ed at S.8OO.O0O,OO0 rubles tabor

Special to The Producers News
Monday afternoon after a two
hour debate the house of represen-
tatives killed the proposal to place
a two per cent tax on the gross
earnings of hydroelectric power.
The roll call was 81 to %.
The roll call on this bill shows

There is no argument against a
hydroelectric tax-not an argu-
ment. If anything in the state
should pay a license tax, and g
gross license tax, that is hydro
electric. Figures compiled by the

Apparently the mighty
battle for food which for
more than two months has
shaken the senate, disturb
ed the White House and
splashed all over the front pages
of the nations daily newspapers,
is about to end in victory for the

leagues, assembled in solemn con-
clave, announced tnAt six major

Mad Mullah Collins, Plenty
woods chief of police, went ber-
serker and ran amuck last Friday
afternoon, February the 18th. It
was an unlucky day for Oscar.
The chief was just a little more
than half shot and emery. He had
been arguing with John Bowles,
local knight of the green cloth
over who had told the Producers
News reporter of the "tip off" at
the time Corporal Winters and
Patrolman Melvin raided the Jack
Dwyer dive, and found nothing.
Bowles was also somewhat in
ebriated, and the two, with others,
had ambled into the joint main
tanned without let or hindrance by
the big shot of the Plentywood
whiskey ring, to oil their "wizens. +"
The argument turned on the
Irish. Oscar opined Bowles was
"Shanty" Irish, while Bowles low
ed Oscar was "bog" Irish. Bowles
wagered Oscar couldn't "bless him
self" and the big chief of police
declared he could whip any ''Mick'
that ever kissed a crucifix, and
reached out the long arm of the
law and biffed the doughty knight
right between the eyes.
The nobleman of the green felt
didn't bat an eye but countered on
the officers proboscis and sat him
on his beams end, upsetting the
stove, knocking down the pipes anC
turning over other and divers fur

Cigarette Tax
After the vote on hydroelectric
tax, the cigarette tax was report

not pass. The house refused the
report. After prolonged debate,
the motion was carried to print
the bill and place it on general
orders. The bill imposes a tax OF
A cents a package on cigarettes
and 10 per cent of the sales price
of all other forms of tobacco. This
! proposed tax is a tax on the peo-
pie, a direct tax. The same mer
who defeated the tax on hydro
electric advanced the bill for a to
bacco tax. The bought eunuch o.
the power company voted to pu
another tax on the people because
Montana must have more money
and if the tax is passed it is east
