Airplane Control That
Takes Burden Of Flight

The Sperry airplane pilot is an in
yention which makes flying safer. 1t
Is gyroscopic control which makes
instant corrections for all effects OF
air currents and shifting Of weights
upon an airplane, and keeps the craft
flying In a perfectly level position on
d true course. Ii Is control that
has been used by the military services
In bombing planes and Is designed on
mechanical principles identical with
the automatic steamship pilot which
has been in use for many years. Many
merchant and naval vessels are
equipped with the device.
The airplane pilot does not eliminate
any OF the crew, but takes the strain
Of long flights from them. The crew
makes all take-offs and landings In the
usual way, turning the plane over to
the automatic pilot to be kept level
and on straight course after the
craft is In the air. II can fly through
darkness or fog as easily ms through
clear weather and Is essential to un-
interrupted air transport services and
long flights. allowing the pilot TO con
centrate on navigation.

Humminx Bird Tame

The humming bird lacks much In
size. perhaps, but 1t can lay claim to
the distinction OF being exclusively
a New world bird, for 1t Is found In
North, South and Central America.
Because the ruby -throated humming
bird Is the only one found in this sec
ton. in fact. found anywhere east Of
the Mississippi, 1t Is perhaps not as
generally known as 1t should be. There
are about 400 species Of humming bird.
but only Is or so are known to North
America.
Their habit OF being constantly In
flight gives the impression that they
are timId birds. which impression Is
wrong. for the birds can he trained
to eat sweets from the hand. Their
constant flight Is due rather to weak
feet than to fear.

TN THAT curious old chronicle, the
: Newgate Calendar, published In
London in 17T7 may be found this
entry $50 dangerous an individual to
the kingdom as this man, Aiken per-
haps never existed. Confession and
repentance can hardly soften the abb
horrence felt on the contemplation of
the extent of his crimes. Aitken. that
universally detested character, during
the progress OF his public ruin and
desolation, had gone by several names
"a plan generally adopted In long
course OF villainy' Thus did old Eng
land pour out the walls Of her wrath
against the young patriot who waged
one-man war against the enemy and
who all but succeeded in gripping the
Mistress OF the Seas" He failed and
he died a hero's death--a forgotten
her0's death. for only recently has the
story of James Aiken come to light.
The son of Scotch blacksmith,
Aitken came to this country at the
age OF nineteen to enlist in the fight
for liberty. He was a member OF the
Boston Ten Party and after the Revo-
luton opened he decided that he could
best serve the patriot cause by strlk-
ing blow whore It would count most
at oreat Britaln's sea power. He
weat to England In 1776 and from Au-
gust to November OF that year wan
dered from one port to another.
Having perfected crude time; bomb
1T was tin tea canister filed with
spirits at the bottom and fitted with
matches and candle to ignite them--he
succeeded In setting fire to the rope
house at Portsmouth, although the at
tempt on the hemp house failed Then
he went to Bristol and series OF fires
In the vessels and wharf buildings In
which ships, ammunition and war sup
plies went up In smoke followed.
Finally suspicion fell upon the
young Scotchman and reward was
offered for his arrest. There followed
thrilling chase from Bristol to Exeter
to Plymouth to the Isle OF Man and
then TO Oldham where he was caught
with discriminating evidence concealed
upon his person.
He was placed on trial March s,
1777. Unrepresented by counsel and
refusing to speak In his own defense,
Aitken was found guilty. He was
paraded past the scene of his crime
In Portsmouth, then hanged on gal
lows made from the mast OF war
ship. Later his body was taken down
and removed to Blockhouse Point
where 1t hung In chains for several
years--a gruesome reminder OF the
fate which befalls patriot who falls.

Continued from page l

ested attention of his hearers by his
evident sincerity and grasp of his sub
ject 1.-THE American Legion is pub
lie, patriotic organization said Com
mander Lamey, "and naturally must
stand or fall in public esteem by its
official record" He then discussed
several outstanding issues of the pres
emit time and explained the Legion's
stand on them. He referred the action
taken by the Legion at the national
convention in Detroit, in favor of re-
submitting to the voters the question
of prohibition. In view of present con-
ditions and the attitude of many re-
garding this perplexing problem, he
said he deemed this action eminently
fair and wise. Discussing the bonus
he recited the fact that the Legion At
Detroit had gone on record as opposed
to the paying at this time of the bal
ance due the ex-soldiers on adjusted
compensation certificates. Mr.. Lamey
went into this subject rather in detail
explained definitely what the adjusted
compensation certificates are, and crit
icized and exposed much false propa-
ganda that is being circulated regard
ing the bonus. Mr.. Lamey said 1T
does not behoove any of us to criticize
those ex-service men who have
marched on Washington in an en-
deavor to secure payment of what is
termed the bonus. If we were out OF
work and money, hungry and nothing
in sight for the future, we too might
take similar action While Mr.. Lamey
did not openly advocate paying the
bonus he left the impression that he
was friendly to the proposal.
In closing paragraph Commander
Laney showed his evident sincerity
and deep patriotism. Speaking of the
grave problems and difficulties con-
fronting our nation, he said, in effect:
This is no time for any of us to take
or advocate any drastic action or any
action that will make any greater the
serious burdens confronting the men
who are guiding the destinies of our
nation at this time. It is well for all
of us to study carefully and seriously
the problems confronting our country
and to take only such final action as
true patriotism can sponsor" Mr.
Lamey was given long and loud APP
plause at the conclusion of his address
Later in the evening dancing was
enjoyed until late hour.
