Bishop Confirms
 Crippled Youth

There were 135 thrilled youngsters in the Church or the Immaculate Conception yesterday afternoon to receive the sacrament of confirmation, but their thrill was as nothing to the one that filled the body of the 136th boy, 12-year-old Michael Francis Lynch Of WeItOn street.
 Michael is a laughing, snil- ing boy, filled with zest for life. But Michael has been cripple from infancy, and all his wandering and good times have had to be accomplished by the medium of books. It's even difficult for Michael to go out, since he even has to be carried to a car, but his joy when he does have an oppor- tunity for ride is unbounded.
 For years Michael has dreamed of being confirmed, but his hopes had been dim- med somewhat when it was considered almost out of the question for him to receive the sacrament. But Michael per- severed; he studied the points he had to know; he prayed that he'd be let join the con- firmation class. A few weeks ago, to the supreme happiness of the 12-year-Old, the permis- sion came.
 Yesterday afternoon, Mich- ael was carried from his home to a waiting car, tenderly, for those who brought him knew how much it meant to Michael. Dressed in a neat blue suit, his hair slicked back, his face shining, Little Michael was brought to the sacritsy of the Immaculate Conce church.
 There, to Michael, and just to Michael, went Bishop Maur- ice F. McAuliffe, a wise and kindly prelate, who seemed to know just how Michael felt. Over MichaePs head, the bish- op raised his hands in benedic- tion; his lips uttered the sa- cred words, and Michael, his whole being exuding the glow of 8 cherub, received the sac rament.
 Tears, thought Michael, are all right when they mean that you're just filled all over with haDDineSS.

MAILING LUTES OF TURKEY WILL

Turkish Ruler Has Ordered
 the Nation to Learn K Western Music

1stanbul, Nov 12--- (U.P.) = The wailing lutes and throbbing tam bours of Turkey were silenced to- day, and the oriental iament--as popilarized by Little Egypt at the 1893 Chicago worlds fair -- may never again be heard through the land.
 Mustapha Renal Pasha, who abolished baggy female trousers, who snatched the, fez from male heads, who efadicated the face veil who abolished plurality of wives. who adopted a new alphabet, has now deereed the westernization or music.
 Radio stations must no longer play the monotonous melodies to which ancient Turks, squatting be- fore their bubble pipes, used to weave their creaking haunches. Cafes, night clubs, concert bands must turn their zithers and tym- pani Instruments of jazz.
 Turkish music" said Mustapha Renal to his assembled parliament at Ankara, ''is far from an honor to the country. It must be reform- ed according to the rules of mo- dern music. In the uplift of the fine arts, music must take first rank. Musical progress is the test of national progress. The songs Of our people are not assembled or adapted to modern life"
 The whole people, he told the ministry of instruction, must as semble to learn the songs of the western world--Hacha!-and the nation must concentrate on mod ern harmony.
 There is no Turkish delight among the old-time musicians. and none at all in the musty market places. But there is jubilation, py Allah, in the hearts of the young sters.

 WAS MADE UPON WAR AND BOOZE
Delegates to the W.C.T.U. Renew the Old Attack
 in Cleveland

Cleveland, Nov 12-(UP) "A double- -barreled attack on war and booze was launched today by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, meeting in the first nation al convention since the nation re- pealed it's prohibitory laws against the liquid traffic. Sneakers pointed out that both the World war and prohibition repeal had "repudiated all promises" A five-year plan pro- posed by Mrs Ida B. Wise Smith. national w. c. T. U. president, call ing for a renewed drive for aboli- ton of the liquor traffic and for cooperation with all movements for world peace, was studied by delegates.
 pr William l.. Stidger, head of the department of homiletics, school of theology, Boston univer. sity, declared "there can be ilo compromise in the fight against the old order of booze and war. War and alcohol go together" he said. These who drew us into the World war have broken every promise they made, in exactly the same way that those who brought about repeal have broken every promise made when they asked us to vote against prohibition. Our figst is against the old order--war and booze--and we dare not stop" :" Dr Edgar J. Fisher, lecturer on international affairs and formei dean of Robert College, Istanbul. Turkey, termed alcoholic drink and international conflict as "the twin scourges that afflict civilized man" !"

AMERICAN FILMS
 HIT BY GERMANY

Berlin, Nov. 12-(UP)-A heavy blow at American business in Ger many was dealt today by a deci- sion of the Reich's film chamber, imposing a uniform import permit of 10000 marks ($s,OO0) on each foreign picture. The American firms of Metro-Goldwyn-M Mayer and Paramount are probably the hardest hit.
 Hitherto, the import tax has been from 4,000 to 5000 marks per film, so that the increase amounts to more than 400 per cent.
 The import permit guarantees only the importation proper. Even after being admitted, the film may be banned by the censor. Ameri- can distributors said that under the new tax, only American "su- per-films" of sure-fire appeal could be imported with any chance of profit.

PATENT. IS GIVEN
ON NEW COMPASS
Naval Research | Laboratory
Physicist lnvents I'M
provement.
BY THOMAS II. HENRY.

A patent for compass which will
show the instantaneous course Of
craft on which it is mounted apd
simultaneously make known whether
the craft is or is net on the desired
course and, if not, show the deviation
therefrom, has just been awarded to
DR.. Ross Gum, physicist Of the Naval
Research Laboratory here.
The compass. as described by DR..
Gum in the patent application, is an
amplifica ton of the inductor compass
type, being actuated by electric cur
rents set up from the relation of the
instrument to the earth's magnetic
field.
As described by DR.. Gum: when
coil is disposed with its axis vertical
and is rotated III the earth's magnetic
field an alternating current is generat-
ed in the coil, the current being at a
maximum when the plane of the coil
is parallel to the magnetic lines and
substantially zero when it is at right
angles to those lines. If the observer
knows the orientation of the coil with
respect to the craft on which it is
mounted he can determine the course
being followed"
Gives Notice Automatically.
The advantage of the new device
especially for air navigation, lies in the
automatic notice given of any deviation
from the course being followed.
From the same institution comes
device patented by Dr. E. o. Hulburt
for measuring the percentage of plane
pOlariZed light in the total quantity
received from some luminous object,
such as a star or portion of the sky,
which promises to solve some difficult
problems cf the physical astronomer
Among the patents of the week are
number which promise to be of value
In national defense Among them is
an apparatus for locating and illu-
minating aircraft at night so that anti
aircraft fire can be directed thereon"
First, the enemy aircraft is located in
the sky bv a sound locating device,
and the position is transmitted to the
searchlight after making automatically
the delicate corrections for the speed
of the plane. the velocity of the wind
and the time taken for the communica-
ton to be transmitted.
Not Necessary to Fumble.
BY this means the Searchlight can
spot the invader almost instantly with
out being obliged to tumble for a time
in the general direction from which
the sound came and fire can be direct
ed as soon as the light is turned on.
Still another is device for reading
and correcting maps or orders in the
field at night without a light which
might reveal the location of troops to
the enemy. 1t consists Of light tight
chamber. carrier of data sheets
mounted therein, an eyepiece for OBJ
serving the sheets, means of feeding
the carrier into position to expose the
data sheets to the field of view of the
eyepiece, means for illuminating the
interior of the chamber and lightproof
means to permit insertion of a writing
instrument for making notations on
the data sheet"
