OF the radio compass" guide for aV-
iators on an airway fliglE promises
the end of all fears foy the fliers who

when fog or haze obscures his view
of the earth.
Radio compass mechanism perfect

my air service and Signal Corps to
overcome the handicap of low visi-
Eility in flying was given its first
practical test Yesterday in fight
between the airway points of Dayton,
Ohio and Moundsville. W. Va, by

When he was on the straight course

two places. Lieut.. Goddard. flying in
haze and without attempting to
guide by land marks. was kept on a
virtual Decline route by a special re-
ceiving apparatus that told him by
the signals when he was sliding off
his course.
When Ii was on the straight course
he heard only dashes in the signall-
ing between the towers. but when he
got off to the left he was told so by
hearing a dash and then a dot, re-
peated at intervals of ten seconds.
similarly. a dot and dash signal
warned him when lie was swerving
too far TO the right.
lieutenant Goddard wore a specially
designed helmet. tight fitting and
equipped with car phones. and the
plane. as an aerial carried wire 800
or 400 feet in length held down by a
weight. The receiving set on the plane
was grounded to the motor and the
plane was equipped with long exhaust
pipes to remove the sound Of the motor
so the pilot could hear the signals.

an eye OH the ground" Lieutenant
Goddard said after landing here from
Moundsvillc. II found the way di-
rectly and without difficulty"

To Use Volcano For Power

Plans are underway to make use
of the steam from natures boiler
shop by piercing the TANKS of Mt.
Tatio. on the boundary between
Bolivia and Chile. Mt. Tatio Is a
live volcano. from whose crest rises
a perpetual cloud of steam. This
energy. or some of II, will be used in
making electricity.
A recent engineering report great
possibilities Of power generation
from the volcanic steam estimates
that not less than 500.000,000 kilo-
watt hours a year can be produced
from this source. This means an
amount Of current that would re-

would have to be imported.
