Itltson and A. Westbrook, working at Ivew gardens and Bedford college, England. The experiments were undertaken with the Idea of finding the possible effect of the light on plants brought from the South to northern countries where la i.: : i I : To seedlings :.uJ older plants ... l- ments were given with quartz mer cury vapor lamps, similar to those given human beings. Germination and growth were retarded and In older plants leaf formation was partly in hibited and flower formation and bud ding were held back.- Washington.—The Army Air Corps within the next few months Is to In stall radio-beacon stations at Mitchell Field, L. L and at Its fields In San Francisco, San Antonio, Uniontown, i I’n., Dayton, Ohio, and here. At pres- ; ent It has beacons only at Panama .and Hawaii. This was announced by F. Trubee Davison, assistant secretary of war for air, following his return from an inspection trip of Army Air Corps ; activities at Dayton and other points in the West, He also told of prog- , ress being mado with other devices for the safety of flying. “The six beacons,” he said, “will provide several combinations of air ways that will be undisturbed by clouds and proof against fog. The beam of the radio beacon can, like a i ,searchlight, be thrown in any dlrec- i tion and can be made In lengths that | vary from less than 100 to nearly 2,000 miles. Flier Is Gui.ded by Letters. “The radio beacon sends three sig nals which run parallel to each other, like fingers extended from a hand. When tjie pilot is on his exact course ire hears the letter ‘T.’ If he swings. to the right or left it changes to ‘N’ j or ‘A.’ In other words, If the weuth-, er is such that lie cannot see, tire. pilot tiles by ear. “Any plane equipped with a rndlo set cau hear the signals. The pilot ■ need not even be an expert, because the code, once beard, is easily re- ’ membered. On my visit to Dayton, ( I flew on the radio beacon and the’ steudy ‘T’ buzz-z-z was easily rec- ; oguized from the other signals. “Army Air Corps engineers are do ing all they can to lessen the handi caps of pilots who fly in bad weather. Two Important experiments in that connection are the new landing al timeter and a system of leader cables. The new altimeter differs from the old-time instrument in that it gives the exact distance between a plane and ground objects. “The value of this new height re cording device becomes apparent when one considers the fix In which idiots have found themselves when Hying, or in trying to land in fog or nt night. It must be remembered that the old-time altimeter works by atmospheric pressure. Its zero is nt sea-level, but a pilut who tiles 1,000 feet above that level actually may; have only fifty-foot, clearance he-, tween himself and tree tops in high and rolling country. “The value of the capacity alti meter is that *t tells the pilot ex actly how far lie Is above ground ob jects. Lift one of these new iri3tru-j merits above a desk mid it records exactly the height at which It is held ] suspended. This instrument is still highly experimental, but I believe that It polqts in the right direction toward defeating fog— the arch enemy of aviation. Reduce Landing Perils. “Experiments also are being con ducted with the ‘leader’ cable, a de vice designed to reduce dangers In bad weather landings. It lias been used in Europe and it is now being tested by Army Air Corps engineers. The leader cable is a series of wires that radiate from the center of the airport like spokes from a wheel Each cable or spoke sends, at various intervals, signals informing the jJlot who is about to make a landlngoiow to govern bis descent ami even tells him when to put bis wheels on the ground.” Mr. Davison expressed satisfaction with the results of his inspection trip, which covered several middle and northwestern states, and in cluded visits to a number of regular Army Air Corps stations, ns well as fields used by National Guard and Army Air Corps reserve aviators. “Another feature that impressed iqe deeply is the progress made to ward Improving housing conditions for Army Air Corps pilots and en listed personnel. Old quarters that were hardly lit to be occupied by human beings are giving way to mod ern and comfortable buildings, al though there is still a long way to go.” As a result of bis trip, which was made by air and which covered more than 4,000 miles, Mr. Davison plans to have all army pilots participate in a nation-wide drive to urge localities to majrk tire roofs of buildings so (tint they may tie identified from tire The French are a decorative and decOrntion-loving people and they let themselves go when they indulge this instinct at the seaside, according to Bcttina Bed well in Liberty. At some of the beaches the men appear in blazers that make tlie* awn ings and parasols blush modestly, while the women wear everything from chllTon to birch-bark bathing suits, and their peignoirs resemble gorgeous tropical birds. “At Deau ville,” she writes, “anything goes, and It Is hero you find sensational and freakish bathing clothes—such ns beaded bathing suits and those made of feathera. “The Lido Is consecrated to pa jamas, and bathing suits don't matter very much; while Le Touquet, Dinard, La Baule and other resorts on the northwest coast are backgrounds for the more substantial and less sensa tional modele.” Took Only Sure Way to Avoid Temptation Secretary Lawson l’urdy of the Charity Organization society, said at a dinner in New York : “Some people are like the gambler. The gambler sat In the plush nnd gilt ofiice of his palatial gambling house when u deputation waited on him to plead a spendthrift's cause. “The spendthrift, the deputation said, had lost over half his fortune at the gambler’s, and now the other half was gone, nnd tuberculosis had overtaken the poor fellow, and a col lection was being made to send him to Colorado. Colorado was Ills only chance. Denth or Colorado. “As the gambler listened to the spendthrift’s sad story tears rose to his eyes, and turning hurriedly to his beautiful blonde secretary lie said In a choked voice: “ ‘Quick, the check-book, Miss Mont gomery—go and lock it in the safe be fore my heart softens.’ ”—Detroit Free Press.
