Those must be laid out ac- cording to specifications given by the army and in return the government gives steel hangars to the municipali tles. Operation of the “air harbor” is assumed by the municipality, Since the armistice the nimber of army fields has been reduced from 50 to 16 ana the naval air stations from 17 to 9. “The landing field”, says the air- craft association, “igs to°the airplane what the harbor is to the oceanliner and the railroad terminal is to the train. It is not merely,a flat. piece ot land on whieh a flyer can bring his craft to earth, Such a piece of ground bears the same relation to a real land- ing field as an unimproved water inlet bears to a harbor like Liverpool. “A landing field should have, first of, all, dimensions which fit it to handle all forms of aircraft, It should be drained so as to permit. its use even in the wettest weather, It should have shelter and supplies for flyers and their crafts and should be ne- cessible to the trade center it is meant to serve. Thig feature is of suprem? importance because commercial aerial navigation will develop only in pro- portion to its commercial yalue, ‘The field should he identified with mark- -Jings visible from great heights and with radio apparatus so that. fl may be aided in finding their v in Spite of the fog. or fuilure to iden- tify the country over which they are v | passing, “Fields at frequent intervals mean that eross country fifers can come to the earth for rest, replenishment of supplies and adjustments to their ma- chines without inconvenience or un- necessary delay. In the event of 2 mishap in the air, such as a stalled motor, the nearby landing field per- mits the pilot to glide to it without damage to the machine or to him- self. .

One day last year Leigh made the connection personally and personally said to be representing the telephone company cut the wire, He appealed to the board of railroad commission- ers and last March the commission- ers ordered the connection made.. It also was reported to the commission- ers Leigh had found it necessary to use phystcal means to uphold his argument for the connection at the time it was cut. He is said to be of English descent. ‘The case was taken Into the dis- trict court at Towner and Judgq A. G. Burr reported that under date of March 20, 1919, a stay order was is- sued. Recently ‘Leigix notified the commissioners the connection had not yet been made. The board direct- ed the telephone company to ‘have it made by February 9 and called atten- tion to a statute which provides a penalty of from $500 to $1,000 a day in cumulative fine which would date hack to March, Atmost simultane- ously with this action, the commis- sion received notice from the Towner district court that a hearing had been set. for March 8 in the case, The action is entitled Stephen Leigh vs. Frank Littengarner, Frank Kaufman, William Merbach, Mrs. Gust Krenz, Peter, Merbach, Oscar Schilling, Gustav. Strege and John Hammenberger “acting as the ‘North Dakota Special Rural Telephone com- pany.” The commissioners declared they acted on the grounds based on the fact that the line of the company runs into an exchange at Drake. \LONDON FOLLOWS LEAD OF PRINCE IN DANCE CRAZE “Robber” and “Paul Jones” Are Very Popular Since Heir to Throne Likes Them London, Feb, 6.—“Robber” or “Paul Jones” dances are being introduced in some West End clubs and dancing halls since the Prince of Walea re- turned from the United States where he gave this form of dance royal ap- proval by waltzing, one-stepping and fox-trotting with no less than .fifty partners at ope ball, \ As the name indicates, in “robber” dances, male members of the party who happen to be without partners are privileged to “out/in” on any of the more fortunate men who have partners, In England it has been the.custom for dancers to have not more than three or four partners during an ‘even- ing—and More’ frequently . only one.
