Fairbanks Soon To Pull AviatOrs Into City By The Ears"

Fairbanks will soon be ready to pull aviators into the city by the ears.
 Installation of sensitive and highpowered equipment at the Civil Aeronautics Authority radio range station eight miles from the city will bring to completion the modern aviation aid which will provide an auditory groove along which flers may slide to the Fairbanks airport from vir- tually any point in the Terri tory.
 Charles F Wayer Jr., CAA ra dio engineer is now supervising installation of receiving and transmitting equipment which will be controlled remotely from the CAA ground station at the falrDanKS airport.
 Barring interruption by weath CT or other unforeseen conditions the Fairbanks rangesor beam station should be ready for ac- tion by late February.
 Wayer has already whipped one such range into readiness at Ruby which has produced encou raging results under actual fly ing tests by Pilots Jim Dodson of Fairbanks and Jack Jefford of Nome.
 Nome's range station, with J H Washburn in charge of installa- tion is nearing completion. Other range and point-to-point stations are in various stages of construc- tion at Anchorage, Cordova, Ju- neau, Ketchikan, Cape Yakataga Talkeetna, Summit, Wrangell & Yakutat.

EXPORTS TO EUROPE ARE SOARING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 - The State department revealed that $2,4500,00 worth of exports rights were issued to Finland during De- cember for purchase of American airplanes.
 The report showed that $75,000 worth of engines and propellers were exported to the Arctic re- public.

 France was the biggest single customer of the year. She order ed $122,000,000 worth of arms, or half of the entire United States sales. Most of the French orders were for airplanes.
 Britain ordered $21,OOO,00O in arms during the year.
 During 1889 Germany received only $24,000 worth of arms from the United States.

The Fans Corner

Oh, Ohl Well, I was at least half right that time, We did warn the Hammons that if they let down it would be too bad, nd so it proved. A few dropped third strikes in the first inning and the Alaskans wtre off in a bunch. They couldn't be headed of until they had garnered 13 runs and there, boys and girls, went a ball game. From that time on it was very even, ending l8 to 4 A change of catchers did the trick. O'Leary for the Hammons and Cabinboy for the ,Alaskans both pitched beautiful ball.
 That Commercially fracas was one for the book! Four four innings the Brousseau-Harris combination backed by perfect fielding held the mighty Com mercials almost hitless. In the fifth inning Ron, tired, let down a bit and there went another ball game.
 A switch of pitchers at this point proved not only fruitless but disastrous. The hard hitting Commercials drove Is runs ac- ross the plate before they could be stopped, Brousseau was then allowed to return to the game and-well, let the score by in- rnings tell the story.

Episcopal church, of which Mrs.
Henry J. Macmillan, Of Whining
ton, is a member, recently recon-
mended liberalization of the Epis-
copal church laws regarding di-
vorce and remarriage of divorced
persons.
The present Episcopal church law
prohibits the marriage of divorced
persons, except that of the innocent
party in a divorce for adultery, and
then only after certain investiga-
tons and decisions by the bishop
or an ecclesiastical court.
The committee recommended:
IF a divorced person who has
been in communion W j t h this
church desires to remarry after a
reasonable time and desires, as does
the partner of this second marriage,
the blessing of the church, this
might we'll be bestowed when the
p-~rish priest OF a suitable commit
tee are assured, after examination
of the circumstances involved of
the genuine desire and purpose Of
both participants to lead a Chris
tan life"
The report added, however, that
no priest unwilling to perform such
a ceremonJ should be required to
do So"

agreement" it said, that persons

 It was also disclosed that "con- stant attention" is being given to means of halting mounting ship ping losses
 Reconstruction of industrial areas was today described in the House of Commons by Home Secretary Sir John Anderson as most vi- tally important and urgent.
 Anderson said shipping loss e s in recent months in lanes from the United States have mot been un- derestimated by the Government. ,"
 Appeal Evoked
 The shipping situation evoked an appeal from Ian Hannah, Conserva- tive, that the United States "help control the trade routes of the Atlantic with her own navy"
 Hannah also said Britain should candidly tell the American Govern ment We want financial help I don't see how this nation can bear the tremendous burden of carrying cn this great war if we see it rightly as just as much benefit to America as to cur own Empire"
 No Bartering
 This statement evoked no Gov ernment comment, but another ap- parent reference to American aid was brought out by Clement Attlee Lord of the privy Seal, with assur- ances the Government twill not barter sovereignty of any British territory for war supplies from for eign countries
