POPE LOOKS INTO
 SMALLEST DETAILS
Nothing Is Too Small to Receive His Attention

Rome. Aug, 25.-A fresh and searching wind Of inquiry and reor- ganization is blowing through the vatican with the advent of the new pope and some of the old established dependents of the palace, who are very numerous, find it altogether too oraeing to be pleasant. Piux xI. comes of practical and prosperous bourgeois stock, and feels himself competent to look into even the smallest details of the vast organiza- ton of which he Is the head.
 The pontiff while adhering on state and ceremonial occasions to all the pomp and splendor which is tradi- tional in the Basilca of St. Peter and the Vatican palace. desires that his private life be ruled by a truly apos- tolic simplicity and frugalty and he IS reported to have said that he in- tends to spend money rather on the propa gation of the faith than on the restoration or beautifying of build- ings and monuments.
 In Italian households, humble or aristocratic, the cooks buy all that is necessary for the feeding of the fam fly, and good housewives usually go through the cooks accounts every day in order to keep check of them. It appears that His Holiness does the same. It is related that the other day fowl, price 20 lire (rather less than dollar) was provided for the pope's supper. For some reason he did not eat it, and orders were given that the following day the cook make chicken croquettes for lunch. The croquettes duly arrived, but when the accounts were looked through in the evening, it was found that another fowl, price 20 lire, had been charged in the cooks book. The cook was called in and had his head washed which is the quaint Roman expression for getting a good scolding, and the pope told him he has no use for any servant who was not strictly honest and accurate in his charges.
 Haphazard Fashion.
 It appears that some of the ad- of the huge Vatican pal

DEVICE INVENTED ! WILL RECORD WIND AViatOrS Will Have New Guide
 Hereafter

Washington, Aug. 2I-(By the As sociated Press)-A new aid 70 avia tors in the vicinity of Washington i offered by the Bureau of Aeronautic of the navy department, in the an nouncement of the installation on tn, 700 foot radio tower at Arlington across the river from this city, O wind recording devices for the benefi of fliers primarily.
 A mast has been erected on th' tallest of the three towers on Whicl is a six foot wind vane, which, bl electrical connections, records in the office every vagary of the wind cur rents at that altitude. The records 1t is said, will be of exceptional value to airmen in showing the more con- stant currents of the upper air. The recording device not only shows the direction of the wind and keeps con- tinuous record of the velocities at all hours, but indicates the velocity on pressing button. By counting the number of buzzes per minute the velocity can be read at any time.
 Aid to Av1ators.
 The continuous record of wind vel ocities at 700 feet above the ground will be material aid to aerial naviga- ton over this territory, especially when rigid and non-rigid airships are in flight. Formerly, in order to get
 
 rubber balloons, hydrogen filed, were liberated, and bearings taken on them at intervals of one minute with a theodolite. The angles when plotted showed the speed and directions of the winds that drifted the ballons at each altitude. The height of the ball. looms at the termination of each min ute of flight was predetermined by the weight of the rubber and the amount of ballast lifted. The balloons were usually inflated so that they would rise at the rate of 200 metres per minute. When the sky was clear and cloudless they were often followed, through the instrument, to heights of 10000 feet or more.
 There are often times when the fog, low clouds, rain or snow interfere with the observation of the balloons 50 that the advantage of having wind instruments on high towers is ap parent. While the pilot balloon method is still widely used elsewhere, in the near vicinity of Washington prospective fliers need only telephone to the recording office to receive the readings at any moment.
 Records Sunshine.
 The triple register, as it is called, also makes a continuous record of sunshine. The transmitter, placed near the wind mast, indicates on the register every minute of bright sum- shine that strikes the tower. The pur- pose of the instrument is to show whether or not there is sunshine or cloud above any low hanging clouds or fogs that may prevail near the ground.
 Continuous records at 700 feet above the ground level will be com pared with those taken at various stations at the ground level, one of which is at the foot of the Arlington tower, and will be useful in determin- ing the increase of wind with alti- tude. The data will also be of value to engineers, the department says, in using the readings for the determina- tion of wind pressures on structures.
