Washington.-A new manometer or

ON wing and tail surfaces of airplanes
at different points simultaneously has
been designed and developed by +. II.
Norton, an engineer Of the Langley
Memorial laboratory at Langley field,
Virginia, 1t was announced by the na-

The old method consisted In using
a horizontal tail surface inside OF

series of holes on the surface, led to
a mUIllple AAS
several tubes of the manometer
registered the pressure at each change

impossible to use the old liquid man

pray in any particular place. but
that It suffices to interlace our prayer

good thing II is TO pray in all places.
but that will not suffice us If we would
initiate Jesus Christ our Lord. and
practise that which His saints have
done in regard to prayer. For be thou

he have learnt to pray in a particular
