57th Anniversary
of Trains Arrival.

Fergus Falls-The arrival of train
was a marked event 81 years ago and
great preparations were necessary, as
evidenced by recollections of the first
train coming to Fergus Falls, the an
niverSary of which occurred the day
before Thanksgiving. The event was re-
called to memory with the following
description of the first trains arrival:
The tracklayers rounded the curve near
the depot grounds in the forenoon, fol-
lowed colsely by the construction train.
At exactly two o'clock the engine stood
on the main track as far west as the
elevator, and as the ties, the rails and
the spikes were Systematically and
rapidly put where they would do the
most good in advancing the line, our
citizens were drawn out in the numer-
Gus squads to witness the work. At a
quarter before five o'clock the track was
spiked across the Red River bridge and
the train was moved onto the structure
to all the music that the engine could
make added to heavy anvil chorus, in
which that son of a Vulcan did himself
proud.

The tailored suit is again scheduled
for spring popularity. Women OF
fashion, however, are not waiting fol-
Easter to don their suits they are
putting them on right now Or if they
havn't one to put on right now, they
will take their Christmas money and in
early January buy one. It is smart to
wear your suit under your winter coat
and later with spring accessories.
Reports about the new suits say they
will have even more dresSmaker details
than they had last year. Pockets will
be placed high, some of them almost
even with the shoulder line. Elegant
tailoring will be the order of the season
Severity will be tempered with feminine
touches. The silhouette will, for the
most part, be straight. Certain de-
signerS predict that very short jackets
as well as peplum jackets will cause
quite bit of excitement.
The suit color chart will run some
thing like this. Navy blue will be ire
mendouSly popular. Gray will be high
fashion. Browns worn with biege ac-
cessories will be fashionably smart on
those to whom brown is becoming.
Black is always good
If you are a suit enthusiast and a bit
Of dreSSmaker besides, you may want
to prepare for summer and make YOUR
self suit in a pastel-colored wool.
Those in the know say they will be
very good.
When the holiday rush is over and
you have time to sit for awhile of an
afternoon, take out your embroidery
needle and thread and make a lovely
monogram on your blouse sleeve If
the blouse is light blue, make the mon
ogram navy; if dusty pink, make the
monogram ashes of roses; if yellow,
make brown monogram or if white,
do the monogram in black A mono
gram on the sleeve of your blouse is as
new as anything. In fact monogramS
are being embroidered on almost every
article of apparel these days.

Hunters Lose Deer
To Woods OUTLAWS

Redwood Falls-The survival of the
fittest, the only law known to ancient
man, was revived in the north woods
when three Lucan men went primitive
for the age-old sport of deer hunting.
Ready to tag the deer which they shot,
ten strange hunters approached and
claimed the deer, proving that numbers
and the threat of weapons count where
police and the agencies of law seldom
penetrate. The deer was relinquished
by the Redwood county men only after
one of the claimants had been knocked
down, another slugged and the gang of
ten threatened to pick up their guns to
settle the dispute with bullets.

LIGHT bEAMSA|M
FLYERS WEAPONS
Optical Gun Sight Called
Forward Step in De-
fensive Power.

By the Associated Press.
DAYTON, Ohio, April 2l.-Cross-
beams of golden light on the wind
shield are used for the first time on an
American Army plane at Wright Field
to aim the flyers machine guns at
the target.
Adoption of this new device, known
as optical gun sight. was made public
Yesterday. It is installed on the ALA
Curtiss attack ship. It Is forward
step in defensive power, sponsored by
the material division of the U. S.
Army Air Corps under command Of
Gen. A. w. Robins, and in the arma-
ment section under Maj. Woodruff.
On the windshield, in front Of the
fighting pilot, hangs small square of
glass, about the size of mirror from
lady's reticule. This fixture Is COM
pletely transparent. 1t bears no mark
ing of any sort. For all purposes of
clear seeing it is part Of the wind
shield.
But when a target comes into view
ahead the turn of an electric light
switch down in the cockpit casts
beam of light upward from near the
pilots feet to fall on the windshield
fixture.
Light Reflects in Eyes.
This light reflects back into the
pilots eyes, the same as headlights be-
hind a car at night can be seen by a
driver on his windshield. What the
attack pilot sees on his windshield is
q stencil-like pattern of light.
This one looks like the top of a
telegraph pole, with three cross-bars.
In letters of light the top cross-bar
is marked at each end by the num-
eral S. The middle bar similarly is
designated by 10, the lower one by
Is. These figures mean yards, in
hundreds.
The pilot guides his plane so that
the target ahead is seen directly at
the intersection of one of the cross
bars. If the 5-bar, it means his
machine guns are on the target for
hits at 500 yards distance. The mid
die bar is 1000 yards, the lower one
l,500.
Four Machine Guns.
This attack ship has tour machine
guns, in the nose, in front of the
pilot. Any one. or all of them, are
directly on the target when it is seen
at a croSs-bar.
The pattern of light which forms
these sighting bars is lined up, at its
source down in the fuselage, parallel
to the axis of the ship, and hence of
the fixed machine guns in the nose.
The beam is DETECTED upward to the
windshield by a prism. on the same
principle as periscope.
This optical sight affords great ad-
vantages in accuracy and ease of
sighting. With ordinary sights the
pilots eye must be in line with two
sights of the guns and with the tar
get-making four objects in a rigid
line.
But with this device he need only
see the target at a cross-bar. His
eye does not have to be in line with
target and gun sights. He can move
his head. He can see the target on
the fiery bar at any angle in the cone
Of light reflected from his windshield
fixture.
