FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
TYPE OF AIRPLANE NEEDEO
British Expert Points Out Serious De
fect in Those Which Are in
Use at Present
The mo«t unpleasant situation in
which an airman can fin*I himself Is to
be at a considerable helcht and the
view In all directions cut off by clouds.
There Is no fixed point visible, and he
can only tell If he Is tlyltie straight by
tils compass und air speed. If the wind
be "bumpy" the compass curd begins
to move and only the mo»t delicate of
steering will get It back to a steady
position.
Capt. B. C. Hucks of the Hrltish roy
al flying corps says he has found it al
most Impossible to get the compass
steady In a cloud. The airplane has al
ready begun to turn and the pilot Is
almost certain to over correct. Then
tire dow drops and the speed goes
op. The pilot cannot tell whether the
machine is taking a nose-dive. Is spir
alling downwards or merely gilding a
bit too rapidly.
If a' stable machine be let alone un
der these circumstances It wlir right
Itself eventually and glide normally.
But few pilots have nerve enough to
let It alone and they are liable to try
t» pull out too suddenly, which means
dttasater.
Captain Hucks fold the Aeronautical
society in London that a machine
which will show a constant vertical or
horizontal liue and be independent of
centrifugal force, was badly needed.
CHILEAN GOLD RESERVE HERE
'•culiar Deal by Which It Was
Transferred From Germsny to
the United States.
At the outbreak of the war. says
he Londou Economist, the Chilean
toverninent owned a large amount of
told la Germany, which was destined
:o form a basis for Its note Issue, and
was held up by the blockade. So were
rast quantities of nitrates, boutthl
"rom German producers In Chile f'»r
mport to Germany, and their stoppage
xrtupelled the German nitrate pro
lueers In Chile to cease working.
Cheae producers too were in debt to
Jse Chilean government. That gov
?rnment therefore bought the nitrate,
paying for It by drafts on Berlin
Irawa against the gold which it could
sot reach. It then sold the nitrate if
the United States to the DuPont Kx
?!oslves company, receiving pnymeut
a gold In New Tork. Thus it tratis
,'erred Its gold reserve from Germany
w the United States, and incidentally
idded to the stock of raw material to
►e converted into explosives where*
with to defeat German troops. The
leal has naturally been Interpreted in
France as a preliminary step toward
s breach with Germany, but It was
carried out with the sanction of the
Herman government. Partly, no doubt,
the latter desired to extricate its sub
jects In Chile and an important Ham
ftnrg mercantile firm from their seri
►01 pecuniary difficulties, but it must
also have been moved by an extreme
anxiety to keep on good terms with
C&lle. which coutains a large German
population and is an lui;» rttuit field
tor German trade.

What have you done for America,

That Uncle Sam is sending out
