FIGURES PUNCTURE
HYLAN SCHOOL BOAST

Replying to Mayor Hylan's boast that
his administration had done a great deal
more for the public schools than had
the Mitchell administration. which the
Mayor assailed on It's schol record when
he was q candidate. Howard W. Nudd,
director OF the Public Education Associ-
alton. made public yesterday the COM
parative figures of the two administra-
tions showing that the Mitchell admin
istration outpointed the Hylan adminls-
tration wear for year.
Mr. Nudd's statement closes with this
paragraph:
The records OF the last eight years
show In remarkable contrast how the
Mitchell and Hyan administrations have
cared for the schools. They show that
Mitchell gave the following per cents. "
the total city budgetle~s debt service to
tho schools: 1914. 2T.7f: 1915. 2s.04;
1915, 2735; 1917 3oss and that Hylan
gave 1918. 2s.ss: 1919, 2s.si: 1920,

Ian during every year Of his adminstra-
ton and had 70 his credit the best rec
ord In the last seventeen years. that Of

VESSEL IS STEERED
BY RADIO SIGNALS
Test Demonstrates That Peril
From Fog Has Been Largely
Overcome.

The time was when a navigator had
to be a man of good eyesight. but yes
terday on board the Lighthouse tender
Tulip. far out at sea. 1t was proved
that the navigator of the future may be
blind as post. as long as he has fairly
good hearing. At the same time it was
demonstrated that fog as a peril of the
sea is passing rapidly into the same
category as sea serpents.
Standing with back to the windows Of
the pilot house. man after man. land lub-
bers whose experience in steering was
limited to lawn mowers. put the trim
little tender on her course toward AM
brose lightship, and otherwise comported
themselves as II they had spent a. de-
cade or two as pilots on the Atlantic
coast.
1t was. of course. radio stunt. Yes
terday marked a decided step In the
process.
A coil. consisting of ten turns of in
sulated copper wire mounted upon
frame which can be rotated. is the heart
OF the radio direction finder. When the
plane of this coil is parallel to the d.
rection from which radio signal en-
anates. the intensity Of the signal re-
ceived will be greatest. In other words
it will be heard most loudly. AS the
coil Is revolved the intensity of the
sound in the ears of the operator d.
minishes until a minimum is reached
when the plane of the coil comes to
position at right angles to the line of
direction.
Thus a navigator in the thickest fog
on the darkest night can instantly,
without moving from the wheel deter
mine just where he is by listening to
two or three stations and marking his
v,Ia IN, "a ch N VI YaCfnrdoX
lightship. Fire Island lightship and the
radio station at Sea Girt. N. j.. were the
stations which sent the call Ambrose
sent a single dot rapidly for twenty sec
onds. was silent for twenty seconds and
resumed again. Fire Island sent two
dots for twenty-five seconds and was
silent twenty-five seconds. Sea Girt
sent three dots for one minute and was
silent FIVE seconds. The radio signals
were sent on 1000 meter wave. so as
not to conflict with ships. which use 500
meters The Sea Girt signals can be
heard 100 miles those on the other sta
tions forty miles.
Experiments proved that 1t is possi-
BILE to navigate the vessel to within one
or two degrees. which Is as fine
course as the best OF quartermasters
can steer.
The advantages OF the system over
that by which ships obtained their po-
sition from stations ashore are numer-
Gus. Navigators have the means OF
finding their position right at their ell
bows: any number Of ships can get
their positions at once; /; no knowledge Of
radio by the navigator is necessary the
transmitting stations are automatic. and
the direction finder may be used In To-
eating other vessels at sea and In pre-
venting collisions In fog.
