KITE FLYING AN
AID TO WEATHER
FORCE OF WORLD

WASHINGTON, March 6.--The small
hoy likely would view as the finest
kind of play, the important meteor
ologfcal work carried on by the
staffvsAof the kite station at the
DrexeI4. observation bureau here.
For from the kite house in the
center of an unobstructed forty
acre field, kites as big as wood
shed are flown on piano wire some
tines six or seven on a single strand,
the highest quite out of sight
G. S. Ling, veteran government
meterologist in charge, has six as
sistants who devote all their time
to l1iting Scarcely dozen days
days year fail to see the kites
aloft.~ where they remain five or six
hours.
The instrument carried up is call
ed meterograph. Weighing but
two pounds, this aluminium cylinder
records wind velocity, direction, al
titude, humidity temperature and
the amount of static electricity en-
countered. The information trans
cribed- from it's recordings is for
use in future forecasting, for pos
sible military flying information in
future years, and for immediate in
formation to army and mail avia-
tors. To the latter, daily informa-
tion has been furnished for several
months, but no regular weather
forecasts are issued.
From the circular six-ton kite
house, which revolves like an as
Economical observatory and has
sliding round doors. the kites are
put up. A large drum, bearing eight
miles of pano wre, S operated by
an electric motor The whole is in
sulated against static electricity
Unlike the small boys kite, with
which he must run few yards
to get it up, the weather kites are
taken down the field short dis
tance and given boost. The drum

an hour and the box kite scoots
upward.
However, aloft a few hundred feet
the kite begins to sag as Its load of
piano wire increases Additional kites
are then strung on at thousand
foot ot-intervals, each with its own
lead wire of a hundred yards or so.
As many as half dozen kites
soon dot the sky, each perhaps in
a different wind level and each tug
gAng an opposite direction from
the main line But the load is dis
tributed and the top kite carries on
its work of supporting the me-
teorograph
The kites are rectangular in
shape. Their greatest dimension is
eight feet. The corner struts are
half inch straight-grained spruce.
The muslin covering is drawn to
drum head tautness. The only tails
they bear are the weather tales"
they bring down.
Frequently KITE mile aloft
breaks away. Directed by q abel on
the side, the finder usually returns
the kite at once. Only five per cent
of lost kites fail to reappear. How
ever, when the steel breaks ut .he
winch, a swishing steel tail trails
sk2ng with the fleeing kites, play
ing havoc with rural phone lines
and fences.
Seldom is the wire hit by light
ming, but the static which causes
grief to radio fans, frequently
reaches 10000 to $4,000 volts on
the wire. IT is safely led off thru
a grounded escape wire.
Thirty-inch hydrogen filled rubber
balloons are released several times
daily at Drexel. Watched through
theodolites, their course is plotted,
and from this are deducted details
o. the upper air strata.
Drexel also provides kites for
other stations. Dahl Baxter, who
has made weather kites most of his
life, operates the kite shop. Fifty-two
completed kites fill the loft of a
large shop.

AUTO OUTLOOK
FOR THIS YEAR
IS BEST EVER
Nv d. q. o,NEIL..

Never has the outlook been better
for the automobile buyer and seller
than it is for 1926. Automobiles
represent greater value than ever
before. The cars are more attractive
and comfortable, and closed types
with their added comfort and utility
are more popular than ever. Pros
perity is universal.
The remarkable exhibit at this
years automobile show, once more
shows Hudson Essex in a position of
creative leadership. AS last year
the one outstanding fact was the
general swing toward the closed car
at an open car price, which Hudson
Essex had pioneered, so this year
the critics seem agreed that the
greatest popular interest is in the
six cylinder enclosed cars selling in
the less than $1,000 field.
Spotlight on Essex Coach
They assert this is so because cars
of this description have shown
most remarkable growth this least
year and because more new cars of
this sort are being introduced to the
public than any other general clas-
sification. Modern traffic conditions
Iavor them ana the public is turn
ing to them.
This being true, the spotlight will
show brightly on the Essex Coach,
for this is the undenied pioneer in
this broad and growing field. Two
years ago it was first offered at the
New York show-at a time, in fact,
when a six cylinder enclosed car at
the price had never before been
thought of. Since that pioneer step
Essex has had nearly two years of
remarkable business as a result of it's
leadership; and as it's business has in
creased it has passed along it's vol
ume-savings in a series of price re-
ductions.
How Business Responded
Scoring the largest gain in pro-
duction in the whole automobile in
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-03-07

dustry, the Hudson Motor Car Co.
produced in 1925 nearly 100000 Hud-
son and Essex cars, an increase Of
more than 100 per cent over 1924.
This striking gain in business was
based on the great wave of public
demand for six cylinder closed cars
at moderate prices, which was exact
Iy met by Hudson and Essex coaches.
Ninety-five per cent of business
was in closed cars. This specializa-
tion has so simplified manufacture
that both Hudson and Essex coaches
are now sold at lower price than
open ones With public demand as it
is, the Hudson Essex plans are once
more to increase volume so that a
new high production record is ex-
pected in 1926.
Today's enclosed cars sell at less
than open car prices. What is the
story behind this achievement, many
motorists ask. The history Of this
remarkable development is outlined
by an official of the Hudson Motor
Car Co., whihc invented and eshibited
the worlds first coach model four
years ago.
CLOSED cars are selling today at or
below open car prices," he said; "be-
cause they are now made by the
same efficient, simplified system Of
manufacture which has been applied
to motors, axles frames and open
bodies for many years.
The fundamental idea behind the
coach was to make the motor car
an everyday utility rather than a
plaything. For such a purpose it is
obvious that the closed car is better
all around for the vast number who
can only own one car"

COMPANY
PUTS TAX CUT
INTO EFFECT

Although the law reducing the fed
eral tax on motor cars from five per
cent to three per cent does not go
into effect until March 90, the Buick
Motor company mas MADE it effective
on Buick cars from this date.
When President Coolidge signed the
bill making it a law, it's terms were
such that the reduction did not be-
come effective for thirty days. For
other commodities it became effec-
tive Immediately, and it was be-
cause of this that Buick decided to
absorb the difference for it's cars at
the factory.
With the tax reduction pending,
prospective buyers Of Buick cars
could hardly be expected to complete
their orders before the date on which
the tax was actually reduced. The
manufacturer, by adopting the policy
which did, eliminates all need for
delay, and enables it's customers to
take delivery at once without being
penalized by the terms of the tax re-
ducing law.
