TEST WINDMILL POWER
TO LIGHT AIR BEAC0NS
Generator Similar to That Used on
Farms Said to Require Mini
mum of Attention.

A windmill generator, similar to those
used on many farms, Is being tested by
the airways division of the Depart
ment of Commerce with q view to its
possible use to light airway beacons.
Most of the airways beacons now In
use employ commercial current for OPP
Grafton. while the smaller lights are
operated by carbide gas.
The windmill generator. which stores
the current generated IN storage bat
teries, Is said to require less attention
than the carbide operated lights, which
are looked after about once a month.
The experimental windmill has been
erected near Groveton, Va. It Is on an
00.foot steel tower.

OF CRUISER BILL
Tennessee Democrat for Its
Adoption in Present Form

Washington, Feb. 1 R)-A batch
of amendments to the cruiser con-
struction bill was placed before the
senate today as the time for a vote
drew near.
Last minute debate again rcvolved
about the main controversy whether
the IS cruisers and airplane carrier
shall be laid down before July ],
1891. as voted by the house or shall
be constructed as the president sees
fit. Mr.. Coolidge is demanding the
latter option.
Senator Harrison, democrat, Miss
issippi. proposed an amendment
striking out the time limitation
clause and providing instead that
the president ''shall be authorized to
undertake prior 10 January /, 1882
the construction of the Is cruisers
and airplane carrier.
The Harrison amendment would
permit the president to withhold the
entire program until after the 1881
naval arms conference which was
provided for under the agreement
reached at the 1921 Washington par
ley.
Tyson With President

pairing other amendments. including
some to cut down the cruiser au-
thorization from Is to 10. Senator

BANK loan CALL
WEAkENS STOCKS
Market Reacts Sharply After
Early Period Of Strength

New York, Feb. R-The stock
market turned reactionary today
after an early interval of strength.
The selling probably was inspired
by the calling of $4,000, 600 in bank
loans and the possibility that call
money might rise above the renewal
rate of Z per cent. Professional
traders also showed 4 tendency to
take profits prior to the publica-
ton of the stock exchange member
loan statement, which is generally
expected to show an increase of
about $500, 100000 due. in part, to
new listings of about $l,70o, 100000
last month.
Speculative opinion is still divided
over the possibility of an increase
in the Bank of England or New
York federal reserve rediscount
rates this week. although the for
mer rate is likely to be changed
first. London dispatches indicated
that money rates were easy there,
leading to the possibility of further
gold imports with Sterling lowering
around the gold import point, Any
increase in the New York call rate
is likely to he temporary.
