Device Enables Pilot to Slide Correctly to Field. ed College Park, Md. Making the air safe for airplanes is the task of the United-State- s bureau of standards, whose scientists are working at the landing field laboratory here. Radio is being made a servant of aviation and airmen are about to he given instruments which "ill substitute for their eyes. A radio signal along which the fogbound airplane can slide for a happy landing is the latest achievements for the scientists. H. Diamond apd F. W. Dunmore hae just submitted a report to the National Academy of Sciences which tells of this new device for guiding the airplane down to ground once the landing field is reached. Radio E?eam Set. At the side of the landing field opposite to .that on which the airplane arrives a radio beam sending set is r ralocated. It shoots a dio beam signal over the landing runway at an angle of eight degrees above the horizontal. The arriving airplane must have a special radio receiver of simple construction, consisting of an antena, detector, single stage of rectifier and a microammeter on- - the Instrument board which the pilot can read. If the airplane Is so handled that the reading of this instrument is kept constant, the ship will come to ground on a curved line which is just right for a good landing. This device takes care of the difficult problem of getting down out of the air when night or fog prevents visibility. Straightaway Beam. The bureau of standards scientists already have conquered the problem of keeping on a straight and narrow path between two landing fields by devising the visual radio beacon, now installed for practical use at Detroit, and Bellefonte, Pa., as well as ColRadio signals are lege Park, Md. sent on two frequencies in such a way that when two reeds on the airplanes instruments board vibrate at the same amplitude the airplane Is on its proper course. A field boundary marker beacon Is now being developed by the research at College Park. This will be a signal that can be picked up by the incoming airplane in such a way that the pilot will be notified that he is at the edge of the field. g three-uiete- audio-frempienc- y, . Ancient Log Strata Is Found in South Dakota Piedmont, S. D. Seven million years ago a tropical Jungle that covered this region sank and was overwhelmed by the sea.

In tlieir new form .the old logs are tinted in new, bright colors, due to arymg compounds in the fibers of the wood. Even the lichens or warts on some of the trees were left discernible. Decayed wood markings were retained in this forest, although geologists claim this is unusual in petri- Auburn, N. Y. Auburn prison, nearly a year after it experienced one of the bloodiest riots in prison history, has taken on a new appearance. The century-ol- d institution appears much the same on the outside, with the exception of new additions, but inside the entire scheme of things has been altered. New forces are at work. Trouble makers and hardened criminals have lost their power. Some are In soliOthers have been transferred tary. to Clinton prison, Dannemora, and to other state institutions. There have been many mechanical changes. New systems of doors have been installed. The prison is Dot as open as It once was, for doors separate different sections of the institution, much on the same plan as a ship. The open stairway, leading from the first floor to the basement, where Principal Keeper George Durnford was shot to death, has been closed with steel walls. On the fifth tier in the south wing walls are now bare of mlr rors. Ernest Pasevi and Steve two of the slain ringleaders, made good use of mirrors to watch the progress of their pursuers. The application of paint has brightened up the prison considerably. In the south wing, where the riot last December reached its climax, the bullet marked and walls have been covered with pumpkin yellow paint. The mess hall has been painted white, as have the hallways leading to it. Discipline is strict, and when a con vict disobeys orders or causes trouble swift justice follows.

He saw many shepherds tending their flocks, but kept on wandering north and west until he came to the Caspian sea and saw places where it seemed as though they cared far nothing in the world except oil. Theres no accounting for tastes, as some one has said, David remarked to himself. Up north of Caspian and the Sea of Aral he passed the Map Kirghis shepherds who told him how they had to change their homes twice a year to follow the feeding places where they would find green grass for their flocks. He came down into Persia then where he had lunch and passed villages of dark narrow streets and saw rugs being woven and so many unusual sights he hoped he would remember them all I He knew he would never forget the bread and cheese and milk and stew that he had for lunch, and he liked it rather because they told him he could eat with his fingers they werent fussy.

Alimony is a considerable item in the life of William Knuth, Every month he must pay $80 of the $100 he earns as a mason for the Milwaukee railroad to the clerk of the Circuit court for the benefit of two former wives and two sets of children. Wife No. 2, Martha Knuth, divorced William in Circuit Judge Aarons court recently on the ground of cruel treatment. She will get $55 a month alimony. The court wanted to know how much William was in arrears in alimony to wife- No. 1. Susan Knuth, who divorced him In 1925. Its $140, your honor, said William. No, it isnt, judge; its $190, piped up a voice from the rear of the courtroom, and then It developed that Susan had been an interested spectator unknown to the others concerned.

He felt that the slot machine racket wasnt being properly developed, according to police, and that Hamley with his knowledge of the trade might be valuable. He arranged a meeting between Diamond and Hamley, it is definitely known, in fact, Hamley himself was the authority for it. There the ambitious fat man convinced Diamond that he knew the trade, knew where slot machines should be placed. He invested a small bit of money, police say, and was declared one of Diamonds partners, a distinction of which he was inordinately proud. For a time Hamley was happy In the consciousness that he had arrived, had made good. The first thing to disturb his serenity was a conversation with a representative of Wex-lerright-han- d s.
