DIRECTION finder
TO AID AVIATION
Radio System Used by Ships
to Be Employed by
Planes.

"fE radio direction finder, used BY
III ships on the high seas TO get
their bearings, has been success
fully adapted for the use Of aircraft
and Is destined to become an I'M
portant aid to aerial navigation, par
ticularly in cross-country flights by
taxi planes not flying the established
air lanes.
Unlike the ship systems. which are
dependent upon shore stations strateg-
ically located to give them bearings,
the aircraft method will not make
necessary the establishment OF land
stations Every broadcasting station IN
the United States-and there are 6!0
Of fthem-unwittingly and automatical-
" becomes a ground station" for the
aeronautical system.
The simple instrument to be at
tached to the radio receiver In the
plane Will show the direction Of the
incoming signal from the closest
troadcasting station. BY tuning his
receiver to the station and waiting for
call-letter Identification, or by check
ing the wave-length with station
log, the aviator can determine his pre-
cise location. If he follows the Md1-
Gator, 1t will carry him directly over
the transmitter Of the broadcasting
station.
The device was developed by the Re-
search Division of the Aeronautics
Branch, Commerce Department. It
was tested and installed on an air.
plane at the College Park, Md, expert
mental field, and was employed In test
flights between Washington and Baltt-
more with complete success.
Heretofore the direction finder has
been used only experimentally by
military planes. It is not to be con-
fused with the radio range beacons Of
the Department Of Commerce, which
have been installed on virtually all
air lanes. The beacons tell the avia-
tor flying the charted airway whether
he has veered from his course. The
i6nerant or cro6s-country flyer who
does not travel the established air
lanes Is not helped by these beacons
his own hit-and-miss method Of navi-
cation. With the perfected direction

He quoted Farley as having advised

"The Democratic platform contains
no pledge to work for repeal" Canon
Chase said in a telegram to Mrs.
Martha Murray, a Womens Christian
Temperance Union cfncial at Spokane.
'-The Democratic platform did not say
we are pledged to work for repeal or
vote for it. but we favor the repeal OF
the eighteenth amendment That
leaves every Democrat free to vote as
his conscience dictates and as the Con-
stitution guarantees.
ANY one who conspires against free
exercise Of the right Of the ballot
violates Section l9 Of the Federal Grim

nothing but a mass of tumbledown
stables and homes, uninhabitable. In
ruins also is tower that Armstrong
tried to build in anticipation of the
second coming of the Lord.
The land of Gods country lies peace
full and deserted. A tiny COW pasture
here and there, and a lake formed by
beavers dot its surface
