JIMMY DOOLITTIE MAKES
 SUCCESSFUL TEST
 FOG HAZARD ELIMINATOR

MITCHELL FIELD, N. Y, Sept. 25, [P)-The elimination of fog as a flying hazard seems to be assured, with the demonstration today while in flight of three in strdments which enable the pilot to rise. fly and land a plane with the cockpit completely covered. Lieut.. James Doolittle, a former Nome boy. and now a crack Army racing pilot, took up a plane and directed it over a fifteen mile course and then landed it within a few yards of the starting point, solely with the aid of his instfu- ments. The test was made un- der the direction of Harry Gug- genheim through the Guggenheim Fund for advancement of aero nautics. The instruments upon which the Lieutenant relied were the artificial horizon, the "vis- ual radio receiver", and deli cate "barometeric altimeter."
 The radio receiver consists of two vibrating reeds which indicate when the plane is heading directly for the objective,and when it is over the objective. A divergence to the right or left causes one reed to pirate more rapidly than the other. The altimeter is so sensitive that it can measure the altitude of a plane within few feet of the ground, thus making possible a safe landing on ob- scure fields. Guggenheim said that the instruments were unimpli cated and unprohibitive in cost.

of hard work succeeded in getting the four men to safety and tying the plane to mooring buoy.
 The crew were taken aboard the Chelan. where they were giv- en dry clothes, hot food. and staterooms. The aviators announc- ed that if the weather calms they will take oil tomorrow for Sew ard.
 The flight from Attu was a sur prise, as radio reports said that they had decided tc wait another day because of unfavorable weath- CT. The f1iers were greeted by coast guard officials and orders were given to commence refuel- ing the ship, which was not dam aged by the storm.

Four blood transfusions have taken place in the last couple of days. The funeral has been set for two o'clock Friday afternoon. The body will later be taken to Cincinnati, his birthplace, fer final burial services. During the career of Miller Huggins, he has won six pennants and three worlds cham pionships, all of the latter in the last eight years.

AIRPLANE BRINGS WOMAN
 WITH BROKEN LEGS

Pilot Frank Dorbandt flying the Stinson cabin plane of the Al aska Airways Inc, took off to- day for Golovin, in rain and fog gy weather in answer to call of mercy. 4 telephone messa ge related the story Of native wo- man, named Mrs. Matthias Peter sen of the Council section. who was suffering from two broken legs below the knee. It appears from information at hand that Mrs. Petersen was engaged in op- erating a boat with a mast, on Fish river and without warning the mast fell and caused the ac- cident. near White Mountain She was taken down to Golovin in small boat where the plane picked her up and brought her to Nome, arriving about noon. where she was placed in the hostpital. under the care of Dr. F. J. O'Hara.
 Nomeites can well be proud of having a man of Pilot Dorba nd'ts experience who is ever ready to answer a call of mercy, and take of in weather which under normal conditions would not be considered flying weather. He was engaged in carrying airmail for Uncle Sam outside before coming to Alas ka. which makes him what Alas kans need-an all around man in his profession. But with all his knowledge of the air. the thing uppermost in his makeup is to render assistance and aid to those who may be in need. at the time ii is needed-In other wofds, "A friend in need, is a friend in. deed"

BARRETT WILLOUGHBY
 +- RETURNS TO STATES

SEATTLE, Sept. 26, (P)-Bar- rett Willoughby, famous Alaskan authoress. returned to the states after two months' visit to her native land of abode; where she has been gathering material for her new book. While in Alaska she travelled by boat, train, auto, canoe. sled, and at the northern end of her journey used planes. Nomeites will remember that Miss Willoughby flew from Fairbanks to Nome and return with Colone, Ben Eielson and also over the four hundred miles which in the old days was called the Sweep stakes Trail', and about which she has written in her latest book the Trail Eater.
 Miss Willoughby has been com piling material for several months for romance of southeastern and southwestern Alaska. While in Nome a short time ago, she gave the publisher to believe that it is to be about the fishing industry. She also stated that it would be on the market sometime in Feb ruary 1880.

WEDNESDAY (TELEoRAPHIc,
HOOVER WANTS TAXES CUT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24, (P)- A substantial reduction in taxes is favored by Hoover and will pro- ba bly recommended at the next session of Congress to become ef- fective March 18th, it was learn ed today. But what form it is to take has not been determined. It was learned thru the treasury department. that the fna ncial con- dition in prospect for the com ing few years is regarded as war rantins tax reduction. With this in view experts will start work within the week to deter mine how much can be cut how it will be divided. Financial Of ficials pointed to continued pros perity with the large income tax collections as base upon which the reduction can be made. Since July 1st the government income totals nine hundred and twenty one millions. two hundred and thirty-seven thousand. five hun dred and six dollars. while the income from tax collections up to Sept. 20th totals one billion. eight hundred million dollars. an increase over the same period a year ago, of two hundred and seventy-one million.
 With continued business pros perity. experts feel that income taxes will keep mounting if not pass those of last year They also feel that smaller margin. in fact one million dollars. may safely be kept on hand without compli- eating the government finances.

CATHODE RAY TUBE
AID TO TELEWS|ON
Latest Device, Called "Kino-
scope" Reported to Insti.
tute of Radio Engineers.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

Another advance in television, the
development of cathode ray tube to
receive radio impulses and convert them
into pictures without the use of the
usual scanning disc, was reported to
the Institute of Radio Engineers at its
Rochester meeting yesterday by Dr.
Vladimir zworykin, Westinghouse re-
search engineer. The receiving device
is called the "kinoscope" by its inven-
tors.
Many advantages are claimed for the
"kinoscope." The moving pictures 1t
receives are projected on a mirror by
inches in size. These images, DR.
Zworykin stated, can be made larger or
brighter by increasing the voltages used
in the receiver. Large audiences can
watch the images and they can easily
be synchroniZed with sound.
DR.. Zworykin Is now looking forward
to flashing the received images on a
regular motion picture screen as they
are sent out via radio from ordinary
silent or sound motion picture reels.
Apparatus VIII Be in Demand.
That such apparatus will be highly
in demand by theaterS when perfected
is evident. The present receiver, with
its small screen, is being developed for
home use 1T is still in experimental
10TH, only one Set having OCch OunG III
the Westinghouse laboratories at East
Pittsburgh.
The cathode ray tube is an offshoot
of the Roentgen X-ray tube, and it has
long been regarded as the solution of
the television problem. Practically the
whole receiver Is in the tube, which
looks like a huge bottle. It has no NOV
ing parts, operates quietly, and syn
chronizes easily with the transmitter,
even when a single radio channel is
used, according to DR.. zworykin's de-
scription. It is said to be easily US
able by the rank and file Of the radio
audience"
