POST DESCRIBES
HIS ROBOT PILOT
Declared to Function More
Rapidly and Smoothly
Than Human.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 19-The robot
pilot which Wiley Post carries in his
plane, and with which he seems to have
been having difficulty, is a gyroscopic
device developed to keep the plane on
its course and maintain altitude and lat
eral stability. When a bump or a gust
comes it should correct the controls far
mere rapidly and smoothly than the
human pilot.
1t takes dipping wing or a dropping
nose to bring human pilot into ac-
ton" Post said before he hoped off
But the automatic pilots counter
moves are started by the deviations
which they correct"
Takes Over Controls.
AS soon as the plane has enough alti-
tude after the take-of, the robot is
connected and takes over the controls.
1t then is supposed to 90 all the flying
If the pilot wishes. At any time. how
ever, he can fly the plane even with the
robot IN operation by the exertion of
about 20 pounds of pressure on the stick
or he can throw a lever and disconnect
the automatic pilot altogether.
Even maneuverS such as turns
banked or fat-climbs and glides can
be flown without the touch of the hu-
man hands If the robot functions pro-
perly.
The robot has two principal parts:
Ihe gyro control and the servo unit.
The gyro unit is mounted in the in
strument panel. 1t gives visual indi-
cation of bank. pitch and direction
like the artificial horizon and direc-
tonal gyro. Its gyros are air-driven.
Together with air relays which con-
meet them with the servo unit, thev
require six cubic feet of air per minute
at four inches of vacuum. This is pro-
vided by an engine-driven vacuum
pump.
The hydraulic servo unit is connect
ed to the control unit by six Oil lines
and three follow-up cables. An en-
gine-driven oil pump provides the
power to three operating pistons as
required. The whole robot weights rs
pounds.
Carries DirectiOnal Finder.
Post carries an earth inductor COM
pass by means of which his magnetic
compasses can be checked Although
he has no wireless in the ordinary
sense, the Winnie Mae has an antenna
This is to serve as a new radio direc-
ton finder developed by the Air Corps
engineers at Wright Field, Dayton,
Ohio, details of which have been closely
guarded It is believed to be capable
of tuning in on ordinary broadcast
wave bands and showing positive direc-
ton from known focal points in this
way.

Cirdling Globe With Post
Hoping to Tdke-Of Quickly From Irkutsk, Flyer
Finds Impossible Flying Weather and Lead
Is Cut to Three Hours.

am sorry had to stay so long in
IrkutSk.
When I arrived here had a lead of
more than 16 hours over the time Cat
ty and I made But the delay due to
bad weather gets me out of Irkutsk with
my lead cut down to little more than
three hours
Has Rough Trip.
At Novosibirsk 1 was feeling fine and
mighty glad to get here after the worst
trip have made on this journey SO far
1t was worse than the last half of the
Atlantic flight.
The first five hours of flying were ex-
cellent, then came heavy fog and low
clouds just as 1 reached the Ural foot
hills, and from then on I flew blind for
seven hours among the mountains.
The automatic pilot feed pipe be-
came disconnected again-not that it
mattered much, because the mountains
constituted a greater danger. Once
almost scraped a hillside looming sud-
denly through the fog, and 1 believe
that if 1 had had a parachute I would
have jumped on two Of three occasions
when it seemed impossible to get
through
Instead of the II hours had reck-
oned between Moscow and Novosibirsk
it took me over 13, and I tell you seven
hours by dead reckoning among the
mountains are a real strain.
At the Khabarovsk I propose to stay
only long enough to refill my gas and
oil and then hop off for Fairbanks.
The clouds between Novosibirsk and
Moscow were 0enser than any I've ever
seen-I rose 21,00O feet trying to get
clear, but it was no use and just had
to fly by dead reckoning with the oc-
casional assistance of radio messages
from the Sverdlovsk station, which I
heard pretty well, but I didn't pick up
Novosibirsk until within half an hours
flight, when the sky cleared. The last
100 miles were easy.

"BRAIN TRUST'
 COURSE NEXT

CLEVELAND, O., oct. 21.-Frof William H. McPherson, acting heac of the Department of Economics of Cleveland College, adult educa- ton center, believes Cleveland should develop it's own "brair trust"
 To that end he has announced a course this fall that will be de- voted to plans, programs and poli- cies" of the Roosevelt Administra- tion, with the NRA treated with special emphasis.
 Economic planning becom e s more necessary as the country be- comes more mature industrially, he says, "so we hope to develop material for Cleveland brain trust"

BARNEY THE GREATEST

The great pitcher of all time?
 walter Johnson" said Griffith with a tone of finality. He was in class by himself. He had every thing and he could pitch as often as anybody wanted him to. Why, he won as high as 36 games for Wash ington when we had just an ordi- nary club. With team like our champions of l924-25 or this years outfit, they would never beat John- son.
 Generally speaking there's two classes of good pitchers-the throw CTS, fellows with great arms and plenty of endurance. Johnson be- longed in this class, although he was smart enough as he gathered experience, too. Then there's the other type of pitchers, men who de- pend mostly on their knowledge of batsmen and craft. would place Mathewson at the top in that class.
 of course I don't overlook Cy Young. You can't get away from the figures and. they tell you he won more games than any other big leaguer that ever threw a baseball. He classes with Johnson, but will take Barney over any other ever saw. When he wanted to, he just moved 'em down at the plate.
 T recall in particular one 16 1n- ming shutout game Johnson pit ched. The opposing team filled the bases in one of the extra innings, with none out. Walter just let fly and famed the next three bats men. There has never been any thing like the speed he had when he was in his prime"

By ALAN GOULD

It wasn't difficult to get the "Old Fox talking about pitch ing, ancient and modern
 The Old Fox" of course, was none other than Clark Griffith, the silver-haired boss of the Washing ton Senators and one of the few great players of the olden days to gain and keep a position of execu- tive influence in modern baseball. Old-timers who were associat-s of Griffith in the rare old days have passed beyond present-day mem ory, in many instances. Star play CTS have come and gone in his re- gime as a club owner.
 "Griff' was a star pitcher him. self with the old Chicago White Stockings. He works for Adrian (Pop) Anson as kid. He was with the White Sox at the turn of the century, later pitching for the Yan- kees, the Reds and closing his ca reer on the mound With Washing ton in 1912
 In his prime he thought nothing of pitching 45 games-full games during a single season.
 why, we used to have only four regulars to pitch in those days he remarked. Any pitcher expected to work with only two full days of rest, where nowadays a pitcher thinks he is being imposed upon if he goes in there as much as twice week"

 Favored as Servants

LONDON, oct. 21.-A native who has served one or more terms of Imprisonment is regarded In the Gilbert and Ellice Islands as the best man to employ as domestic servant, according to a report on that colony issued by the British Colonial office.
 Prisoners in colony jails are, as far as possible, trained in some useful occupation, and they acquire Knowledge which they are able to turn to good account after ther release.
 No air of gloom pervades Gilbertese or Ellice prison" says the report, nor does the fact of being imprisoned carry any so- cial stigma among the natives

SCHOLARSHIP.

The Senior Glass again showed their
superiority by winning the scholarship
cup with an average of Of SCI points
The Frosh came escond with 5.51 points
The Sophs came next with 5.21 points
and the Juniors took the bottom posi-
ton with AIS points. With an average
of four subjects each this would mean
that each class had an index figure Ito
use the college method of indicating
scholarship Of that given below: SEN
iors, 1.50: Juniors, 1.21; Sophs, 100;
Frosh 138
The average made by students at the
University is 1.192, the highest rank be-
ing held by the women students, 1905.
A comparison between the two rank
ing is, of course, impossible for many
reasons but under the same system of
marking a rough comparison can be
made While there are too many un-
satisfactory and falling grades in the
High School, the classes as a group
rank considerably above G grade
which would be Jan index Of LOO. A B
grade would be 200.
Plans are under preparation for the
local high school to enter another state
scholarship contest with the Troy high
school in April. The experience of the
two schools last spring leads them to
value this contest highly as it can be
used as rough measure of the work
being done in the various classes as
compared to similar classes in other
schools.

editorial

sOverstudyn is word which is not
listed as one of the causes of the high
death rate of any period. And neither
is the over-taxing of the brain the
cause of the severe epidemic of spring
fever which pervades the atmosphere.
Although many students assume a
martyred look when the matter of over
study is mentioned, their hopes are
dashed by the psychologists who say
that mental fatigue is merely a form
OF inattention."
The awakening of spring which will
be plainly visible during the coming
weeks, will constitute distraction
which will test the power OF concen.--
tration of the most studious, and VIII
lead many to the false conclusion that
thew have been innoculated with the
germ of overstudy.
But an intense interest in. and ar
attentiveness to the lesson material a.
hand will not only serve to shut oul
other attractions, but will result IN ar
increased knowledge, and satisfactory
grades at the close of school.
