■I IN TERRITORY TO
'! NEW FOG SIGN!
1 The United States Lighthouse i
> Service employees in Alaska are j
very much interested in a new |
method of sending out fog warn- ! '
ing signals devised by the United :
States Lighthouse Service, which
; permits fog bound vessels to de- ;
termine their distance from the J
' | lightships whose signals they can
hear through the fog, according j
to the Juneau Empire.
After nearly two years of ex- |
perimenting, both at the Virginia 1!
Capes and on the Great Lakes, |
the lighthouse service, of the De- |
partment of Commerce, now plans j
to make such signal service a re- ?
' gular part of the work of four j;
J additional lighthouses on the j r
lakes when navigation again opens %
nn the spring. I j;
me uvucunung ui uuc uaii
j dicap, which frequently disrupts '
| the sailing schedules of hundreds
; of vessels, or introduces a serious
j hazard in their navigation, has
j been attempted in many ways,
the new distance finding means
serving as additional aid. Me- i
thod of operation is quite simple, i
requiring no intricate calculations
and merely the possession of an '
ordinary radio receiving set or a
radio compass.
The lighthouse or lightship send
ing signals is equipped both with .
a radio beacon and a fog signal
| which sounds in air, such as a !
j siren or dictaphone. Both these
| pieces of equipment are in regu- I
j lar use at the most important
| stations.
j At regular intervals while the
j radio beacon is broadcasting its
i usual code signal, a long dash is i
sent. The radio operator or ob- j
server aboard the ship listens for j
; this long dash, noting the exact j
| second on which it terminates. J
! With the termination of radio 1
! broadcast dash the fog signal j
| sounds a blast, but as sound sig
I’ l nls travel comparatively slowly
j through the air it is usually a few
seconds before the signal is heard
aboard the observing ship. By
| continuing 139.673 acres, situated
| i in this interval, the distance be
j tween" the the ship and the send- ;
ling station is easily determined,:
| for the speed at which sound: tra- ;
j vels is known.
I
Wra Sherman, forest ranger in
'charge of this area of the Chu- |
gach National Forest, departs to
j morrow for the La wing station j
; where he will spend a few days j
| cleaning up and inspecting the
I premises.

TOWARDS SUCCESS
JUST ADRIFT— OR A STEADY FULL?
THERE is a certain school of thought which
says, “Eat, drink and be merry for tomor
row we die”. But when the hapless morrow
comes, the insouciant philosopher, money
spent, rather wishes he had been a little less
“merry” and a little more saving.
The hand-to-mouth life is mere drifting. It
is only consistent saving that pulls you to
ward your goal in life. “Pick up your oars”
by opening an account with us.
