WASHINGTON, D. C. Robots are
gradually replacing men in the opera
tion of lighthouses and lightships of
the United States navigation service.
This modern age of mechanization
Las invaded this branch of the federal
service and threatens to write finis to
the dramtic chapter of those heroes
v.-hose bravery and watchful vigils
have caved r.iar.y lives.
It is significant that the number
or lighthouse keepers has decreased
l y 151 sinc3 1931, a period during
v. hicJi the number of lighthouses in
c.ca?:d Ly approximately 250.
Successful experiments have been
conducted in operation of both light-
l-ip3 and lighthouses by remote con
trol. One type i3 operated by radio
beacon. Another style of light is
a:'.tomaticlly lighted by electric eye
v. hen daylight iiominishes to a cer
tain point.
Kanncd by Eencte Control
It has also been discovered prac
tical to operate foghorns by remote
control. A device v. hich throws a
B.iit'h when the moisture in the at
mosphere reaches a certain density
has been found as reliable as the
human hand at the controls. The
success with which these devices
have been demonstrated ha3 encour
aged the governmnt lighthouse ser?
vice to launch plans for additional
equipment since automatic control is
both cheaper and less hazardous to
human life.
The complexity and many nev,
angles to this branch of the govern-
The Methodist roreIgn irission
ary meeting for January was held On
Thursday afternoon with rMs. C. C.
Wcscott as hostess at her home. De
votionals were led by Mrs. Wright
who is following the booklet, "The
Word." v. hich is especially written to
be used with this j-ear's study. Miss
Virginia James sang very pleasantly)
the song. "My Mother's Bible," as a
part of this devotional.
The regular business covered re
newal of subscriptions to the society
magazine, attention to reading course
requirements, especially the steward
ship materia!, collecting the Christ
mas offering, and plans for the
Thank offering. Now is the time to
cover the projects on the standard
of achievements. The symbol por
traying "Christ of the Andes," with
light of truth and the open Bible was
again received. Miss James also gave
a report of the meeting called to or
ganize the King's Heralds in which
some thirty boys and girls expressed
desire to join. Her plans for the first
meeting, January IS, at the church,
were very interesting and the mother
society is happy to have secured such
an interested leader.
Te regular study of the text "Wom
en Under the Southern Cross," was
on education and closing time came
before all the interesting develop
ments of this foreign project could
bo covered, but there will be oppor
tunity to review these in lessons that
follow. Members find each republic
of South America has developed in
dependently of others and there are
yet lands and tribes not visited by
civilized man.
At five o'clock the hostess very
happily surprised the guests by serv
ing a hot luncheon at a beautifully
arranged table and which was greatly
enjoyed and added to the usual social
half hour with which all meetings
are closed.
EIETH KATE RECORD
Washington. The American birth
rate broke a thirty year downward
trend in 1D34 by increasing 3 per
cent over 1S33, Surgeon General
Cummings of the U. S. public health
service said in his annual report to
congress. There were approximatly
94.000 moer babies born in 1934 than
in the previous year, the report show
ed. The infant death rate was 59.9
per 1,00 0 lower than any year prior
to 1932.
BE0EEN BOW TEACHES
Broken Bow, Net. Kenneth Wa
terman of Lodgepole has been secured
by the board of education as in
structor of English and dramatics in
the high school. He is a graduate
of Kearney Normal and has been
teaching in Lodgepole. Mr. Water
man fills the vacancy created by re
signation of Miss Lucille Harris of
Lincoln, who gave up the position
early in December due to ill health.

ir.ent service has increased greatly
in recent years. Technical knowledge!
of submarine signal and rariio beacon ;
equipment ha been a necessary part;
of training since the service was
broadened and put on a scientific !
basis. j
In congested areas, particularly,
near netropoiitan centers such as
New York, it has been found neces- j
sary to establish signals of different,
nature. Green lights have been tried:
because of the need cf avoiding con- '
fusion with the common red lights of :
iho city zone. Horns, sirens and
whistles of various tones, each sig- j
nifying a certain danger, mark the
channels and must be interpreted by
the mariner in charting hio course, j
Ilary Lights Abandoned j
An infinite number of duties are;
performed by the lighthouse service ,
which operates on all continental and
inland shores. There are more than
50 tenders used to keep the lights in
repair and carry supplies to the light-
house keepers. On choais where it is 1
impossible to erect a light, lightships j
are anchored to warn ships of the
dangerous reefs. An example of the ,
protection afforded by the lightship:
is at Earnegat point on the New Jer- j
eey coast where the famous eld light
has been supplanted by a lightship. I
Many of the historic old lights '.
have been abandoned in recent years !
or have given way to new structures j
built on the latest approved design. !
In some cases, the promontories have
teen converted into parks, others !
have been sold to private owners who ;
have converted the "sentinels of the
sea" into pleasure havens.

URGE FEDERAL REGULATION
Washington. A broad joint fed
eral and state program to regulate
the $2,500,000,000 natural gas and
pipe line industry was recommended
to congress by the federal trade com
mission. Urging considerable care so federal
power should not invade the states'
prerogatives, the commission set
forth a plan to conserve gas, control
"monopolistic" activities, and to
separate the natural gas from the
electric utility industry. The report
concluded the investigation of utility
holding companies started more than
seven years ago under congressional
order. The first part, dealing with
electric utilities, was presented at the
last session, and was part of the
basis for the holding company regu
lation act.
