was added as an amendment from the

Efforts to add a soldiers’ bonus pro
vision to the measure; to limit the
authority of the commission in defer
ring interest payments and.'to require
congressional approval of the bond
conversion agreements failed; The sen
ate did adopt, however, an amendment
by Senator Walsh, Democrat of Mas
sachusetts, requiring the commission,
after the-conclusion of each refunding
negotiation, to report the results to
the senate. Senator Walsh explained
that the object was to give “pitiless
publicity” to the work of the commis
sion.

HAVE MANY USES
Ross Field Officers Develop
Photo-Technic to Meet Traf
fic Needs of Cities.
Arcadia, Cal.—New fields In' en
gineering studies are being opened at
the army balloon and airship school
at Ross field here, in the department
of plotting from photographic maps,
according to officers of the recently
reorganized school. The plotting study-
room is equipped with an enormous
photqgraphlc map embracing 260
square miles of territory, almost to
Los Angeles, of which Arcadia is the
center. The map Is a mosaic of sev
eral ‘ thousand photographs taken by
balloon or airship from an altitude of
600 feet.
Cities to Use Maps.
As a result of these studies by the
Langley Field, Virginia, and Arcadia
schools, the two great airship centers
of the army air service, a number of
cities are planning to use aerial photo
graphic maps in connection with city,
planning, traffic control, street widen
ing and fire protection work, accord
ing to army officers.
Other uses to which photographic
maps are being put are preliminary
investigations of watersheds, hydro
electric developments, highway, rail
road and canal location, forest sur
veys and various engineering works.
Army air officers have perfected
automatic timing of exposures to
cover tho proper ground area, and at
the same time secure the necessary
overlap lor the accurate fitting to
gether of individual negatives. This
permits taking of pictures from the
moving airship or airplane.
Perfect Picture Methods.
Lenses have been discovered espe
cially adapted for this type of work,
and the officers have developed the
technique covering such detailfT as the
best height from which to take pic
tures for specific purposes, speed of
airplane and maintenance of level
flights to insure verticnlity of view.
The maps now produced by nir service
pliolographevs, according to officers,
attain a high degree of accuracy and
wealth of valuable detail.
Aerial photography is among the
subjects taught at, the Ross Field
school. Air service officers point out
that among points of particular value
to engineering to be found in aerial
photography are the speed with' which
such maps may be produced, ability
to cover territory inaccessible on foot,
comparatively low cost an!d impos
sibility of omitting any feature of the
area photographed.
The mosaic inap, army officers sny,
does not mean transit, stadia and
plane-table are in the discard, but that
engineering surveys made solely by
these time-tried Instruments will be
out of date.
FARMWAGONS
,
Ludlow, Vt.—John Sheehan of this
town earned the distinction of being
the first man in the district, to kill a
wild bobcat with his bare hands.
Sheehan, with Arthur Connors, also
of Ludlow, was climbing a mountain
trail near here when a bobcat dis
puted the right of way. As it sprang
at the man, Sheehan gripped its throat.
His hands were badly lacerated by
the cat’s claws, hut he held on until
It was dead.
