ROBOT PILOT
GIVEN PRAISE
BY Lieut.. Commander
FRANK M. HAWKS

NEW YORK, (UP).-His name
is Zilch, Mr.. Robot Zilch, and a
literally dumb fellow he is too, al
though paradoxically, very clever.
And in that paradox we en-
counter another in that the chap
hasn't brains enough to make a
mistake. Which would seem to
make him a good companion on a
long flight.
Zilch and l first became really
acquainted on the recent nonstop
flight of my Texaco Sky-Chief
from Los Angeles to New York in
10 hours and % minutes. Since
then, however, we've done a lot
Of flying -. getting along like
Alphonse and CASTOR.
On my last nonstop transcon-
.tinental journey, turned the
plane over to him when we were
$4,000 feet over the Grand Con
ness of doing nothing made me
sleepy, so l begged leave and got
it) to resume the controls. In a
little while though, Zilch again
took the ship while | had some
coffee and dozed a bit. Over the
Alleghanies I relieved Zilch again
for the night stretch into New
York.
Zilch can't do the navigating,
or anything else requiring men
tally, but in the natural conflict
between what a pilots senses tell
him and what the instruments
sho whim when he begins blind
flying, Zilch is especially valuable.
BY way Of illustration. it might
be said that in good weather the
normal flying, of an irplane is a
physical job and the navigation a
mental task. In bad weather, the
flying is both a physical and men,
tai strain, which leaves no reserve
faculty for the navigating. Under
this condition, a pilot could turn
the controls over to Zilch and let
him fly the ship while the pilot
watches the course.
For those who don't know him,
Robot Zilch provides automatic
lateral and longitudinal control of
my airplane, attaining a sort Of
arms-and-legs function by way Of
four weights so sensitively bal
anced that their response to an
action of the plane is more speedy
than my own.
The apparatus actuating these
weights is distributed through the
airplane, and the unit governing
their use is located at the control
stick, where, merely by twisting a
switch, | can ord - Zilch to climb
or drop, go ahead or turn around.
He's able. to keep the Sky-Chief
within one degree of its set course,
and also able to bring it out of
spin, or an inverted position,
both of which happen in fog.
Fog doesn't bother Zilch, or
rather, Robot, to me.

Another Revolt
By Nazis Feared

BERLIN, Aug. 5. (UP).-One
of the dangers Of the Hitherto
revolution has been the possibility
Of its drifting toward radical anti
)capitalistic ideas.
Of late this danger has become
acute. Ever more frequently, pre-
dictions have been made of the
advent of a second" Nazi revolu-
ton, which only could mean a
swing toward radicalism with
purely Socialist, or even Bolshe-
visit, tendencies.
The danger that events might
take such a turn lies in the very
makeup of the National-Socialist
party as it stands at present. In
the beginning the party embraced
a comparatively small proportion
of the country's industrial popu-
lation. Since the summer Of 1882,
however, this has been changed
Fundamentally. In the three gen.
eral elections held since that time
the NaZis have made heavy in
roads on the constituencies of
both the Socialists and the Com
SUGTaltsrs lost 100000 and the
Communists lost 100000 voters.
To assume that these former
Socialists and Communists had
just jumped aboard the Nazi band
wagon would be erroneous. There
is no doubt that many of them
Joined from conviction. But, in
joining the Hitler party, only a
few of these industrial workers
thought of giving up their old
ideas. They merely deserted from
parties which, in their opinion,
had failed to stand up for the in
terest of the working classes.

Japanese Plan
New System for
Reserve Officers

TOXIC, Aug. 5. CUP).- The
Japanese war office will carry out
a new system of recruiting re-
serve military cadets in 1888. 1t
expects to train 5000 reserve and
non-commissioned officers year
under the system. The new sys-
TEN has been introduced primar-
lily for filling the growing need
for trained officers, acutely felt
in the recent campaigns.
Briefly, 5000 young men will
be singled out from recruits. They
will receive special training for
three months under a committee
of officers.
At the end of three months
they will be divided into A and B
classes, depending on their re-
spective showings. Those classed
as A, of whom there will be $500,
will be qualified as reserve Off
GERS upon receiving their dis
charge.
Those designated as A class will
be appointed to. the rank of SUI
perior private, and will be pro-
noted two months later to cor
poral, and in another two months
will again be promoted to SER
geant. Those designated as B
class, of whom there will be $500
will be appointed superior pri-
Yates, in which rank they will re-
main until discharged.
The new system is elastic. Even
those who are promoted to the
rank Of sergeant may be denoted
to B class the moment they are
found not up to par, or those who
are designated as reserve military
cadets, may be dropped to the
ranks Of ordinary recruits.

Antarctic Data
On Weather One
Exploration Aim
By HARRY w. FRANTZ
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. (UP)
EARLY resumption of AntartiC
exploration projected by Byrd
Ellsworth and others, is of specia
interest to American meterolo.
giStS from the standpoint of pos.
sible contributions to a better un
derstanding of weather phenom
ena in the South Temperate Zone.
The observation of weather in
high northerly ATTITUDES has al
ready aided in extending the
range of advance fOrecasting in
the United States and other North
Temperate countries, and similar
ly q better understanding of An.
tarctic weather would assist fu-
ture forecaSting in such South
Temperate countries as Argen-
tina, Chile, Australia and South
Africa.
ECONOMIC NECESSITY
The vast agricultural interests
of these southern lands make sci.
entific weather forecaSting of pre-.
dominant economic Importance to
them, a fact especially appreciat-
ed in Argentina, which already
has availed itself Of obserYatiepS
and the South Orkney Islands.
The direction of scientific at
tention to proposed Antarctic cx-
ploration was revealed by Willis
R. Gregg. principal meterologlst
in charge of the Astrological divi-
sion, United States Weather Bu-
reau.
Weather conditions in the Arc
tic and Antarctic very decidedly
affect the temperate regions" he
said. MASSES of cold air going
out from the Arctic and Antarctic
meet masses of warm air from
the tropics and the interplay
causes the characteristic weather
Of the Temperate Zones, accord
ing to Polar front theory.
ADDITIONAL DATA
additional data regarding
weather conditions in both polar
regions is therefore of special i'm,
portance in studying the weather
of the temperate zones. both from
the standpoint of purely scientific
interest and from the practical
application to weather forecast
ing.
IF we had sufficiently detailed
observations at number of places
in the polar regions, we would be
enabled to predict weather in a
general way further in advance.
The United States Weather Bu-
reau does not attempt to forecast
weather longer than one week
ahead. The possibility of this pre-
diction is due chiefly to the avail
ability of weather observations
from Alaska and the Bering Sea.
With observations from Siberia,
the range of prediction might be
even further forecast"

It's widespread relief for the hungry

Huge War Expenditures.
Our war and navy expenditure was
over $1,000 900 900 in 1918 and sll ,00O,-
600 900 in 1919. Our total recovery
program cost should be q small portion
of that large expenditure. Continued
depression would cost far more. not only
in money, but in suffering. than will the
recovery program. don't believe there
is any American citizen who will be un-
willing In the near future to share his
responsibility of paying his reasonable
part OF what 1t has cost our Nation to
work its way out Of this depression for
q safer and sounder future civilization.
That Is why have little patience with
any Of those who criticize the relief and
recovery expenditures without suggest

Now, do hear you ask, How can
we do our part In safeguarding our

I believe that the time has arrived when
