'1 WASHINGTON, Oct. {lo—«A llam-

western sky one night recently.

“What sealchlixhts?" asked every
body.
Professor Hall had to admit that
hp didn't know. It was pointed out

flaming swords are stationary.
Consider-ably piqued by popular
skeptislcm toward his theory, Pro-
fessor Hail did some investigating.
Company C, 29th Engineers. Fort
Humphrsyz, Va., he discovered, is
surveying a 400-squure—mile trnct
between Quantico and Warrenton.

its triangulatlng and turns the lights
