Invents Mechanical Aid
to Guide CITY Visitors

Columbus Ohio.-The 'Teleguide,"
mechanical aid to strangers, has
made its appearance in Columbus.
The device, an invention of Michael
Abel, consists of large scale map of
the central portion of the city, over
which are scattered 900 little lights
corresponding to various public build
ings, places of interest and business
firms.
Each light is numbered and listed
on large directory board.
The stranger seeking the location

Three "Teleguides," constructed at
a cost of $4,000 will be available to
the public soon. One will be installed
in the Union station. The others will
be placed in the city's two largest
hotels.
1t was said that negotiations were
under way for installing "Teleguides"
at the Century of Progress at Chicago
next year to direct visitors to the
various exhibits.

Colonel Keeps Nature of Ex-
periments Secret.

New York.-Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh has plunged into his research
work with renewed vigor in an effort
to forget the past.
He goes almost daily to an extensive
laboratory reserved for his personal
use in the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, in New York city,
but exactly what he does there is hid
den behind barrier of secrecy.
A few months ago 1t became known
that Colonel Lindbergh, then the hap
by father of a curly-haired son, had
been working on a centrifugal appar-
atus designed to separate serum from
the blood.
Observers, however, are disinclined
to believe his whole attention is rivet-
ed on such prosaic affair as a centri-
fuge. Curiosity has been whetted by
instructions prohibiting employees
from approaching the Lindbergh lab
oratory or attempting to engage the
famous flyer in conversation.
When Lindbergh sits among co-work
ers for luncheon in the restaurant on
the grounds he is not disturbed. None
speaks of the dire events which the
colonel is trying to forget.
They have been cautioned, too,
against talking abroad about the col
onel's return to his laboratories, so
that he may enter and leave without
being subjected to the gaze of curious
outsiders.
Lindbergh, who was known as
"Slim" long before his son was kid
mapped, obviously has lost weight, but
his countenance is cheerful
There is much speculation as to the
nature of his work. In connection
with the serum experiment, it was re-
called that Lindberghs first associa-
ton with the institute was when he

Quern Still in Use In
Ireland and Scotland

One of the earliest types of mill
used for grinding corn, the quern, Is
still to be found in use in some of the
more remote parts of Ireland and In
the Hebrides and Shetlands. II is
primitive type Of mill, yet ingenious
in its operation. 1t is composed of
two circular fat stones. the upper of
which is drilled through the center
with funnel-shaped opening. A
wooden or metal pin inserted in the
center of the lower stone provides an
axis about which the upper stone re-
wolves. Set in the outer edge of this
upper stone Is another pin used as a
handle for turning the stone. The
grain to be ground is dropped with
one hand down the funnel-like opening
in the center, while the upper stone il
turned with the other hand. The meal
thus produced Is coarse, but never
theless meets the needs of those using
the Quern.

that he was there. He had waited so
long that his stomach was so empty
that he felt as If the bottom was
dropping out of it. Not so much as q

was because Grandfather Frog had
seen Longlegs when he arrived and
had warned the pollywogs to keep

children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren. So when at last Long
legs saw those minnOws he was happy.
He felt absolutely sure of at least one
of them, and he meant to pick out the
biggest and latest.
Now it is one of the laws of the
Great World that no one can be sure
of a thing until he has it. People
think they are sure of things. Buster
Bear thought he was sure of all the
honey in Busy Bees storehouse. but
you remember what happened. He
had eaten but half of it when Farmer
Browns Boy gave him such a fright
that he ran away, leaving the other
half. More than once Reddy Fox has
thought he was sure of catching Peter
Rabbit. only to have Peter get away
most unexpectedly. Then there was
the time when Little Mr.. Striped Snake
caught one of the children of Sticky
toes the Tree toad and had already
begun to swallow him. He had every
reason to think that he was sure of
little Stickytoes, but along came
Farmer Browns Boy and made him
cough up little Sticktoes. So you
see it is of no use to even think you are
sure of anything until you have it where
it cannot get away or be taken away
from you. The only time yol can be sure
of a dinner is when 1t is in your
stomach.
Longlegs knew this Anyway he
ought to have known it. But the fact,
the plain fact, remains that he thought
he was sure of one of those minnows.
He could almost feel the comfortable
sensation of one of them wriggling
down his long throat to his empty

Sirens to Aid Pilots
When Landing Airplanes

San Antonio, Texas.-Sounds of a
siren or honking horn emitted from
an airplane over San Antonio do not
signify traffic jam in the air. The
pilot is merely estimating his distance

Lieut.. Carl ]. Crane of Randolph field

Based on the principle that sound
"bounces," device called the sonic
altimeter" measures the time of an
echo of sound emitted at the plane.
When the original sound blends into
the echo, the pilot knows he can pan

ty, ground conditions permitting, Lieut..
Crane said. This phenomenon occurs
at about five feet.
The sonic altimeter is being used
here in blind flying practice.
