IL Paul Whiteman'5 jazz, or in fact, any other
radio broadcast program may soon be guiding air
planes to safe landings when clouds and fog obscure
the ground. This is the claim made for the Kruesi
radio compass by its manufacturers, the Fairchild
Aerial Camera Corp, Woodsde, N. Y.
The Kruesi radio compass the company states,
has been adopted as standard equipment by the u
S. Army Air Corps. It is not in use at the present
time any of the airlines. Researches in the use
of this compass have been conducted during the past
year by the Bureau Of Air Commerce.
The compass differs from the radio direction
finders in which ground stations tune in the planes
transmitter determine its bearings and then radio
its position to it. The compass also differs from the
radio range beacon systems in which the pilot charts
his Upon the strength Of signals heard in his
earphoneS
TINE Krues radio compass is named for its in
L ventor Godfrey G. Kruesi, Dayton, o. The
latest military model designated as the U. S. Army
E4 radio compass is the one which has been adapted
to civilian use by the Fairchd company
With it, the pilot tune in on any beacon,
weather commercial brOadcaSting station. He
first tunes in federal arways station commercial
broadcasng station located at his destination or IN
the general direction of his location He does this
in the usual fashion with the aid Of a tuning dial
and earphones.
THE compass can also be used position find
i er. If the plane is equipped with fixed loop
aerial the pilot tunes in station and changes his
course until the dial reads at zero. He then takes
a bearing from the magnetic compass the direc-
tional giro He repeats this process another sta
ton
The two cross bearings are then plotted on a
map and the point Of their intersection indicates
the position of the airplane.
If the plane is equipped with rotatable loop, the
bearings are taken by rotating the loop instead OF
changing the course of the plane.
The compass consists of four units, the COM
pass-recever the remote control box, the dynamom-
eter type bearing indicator and the circular loop
antenna, either fixed rotatable.

and my son to meet me there at
the end of the month"
Marie Louise was f1uStered, I'M
able to make up her mind. "One
day she told me she would not go
back to France. because she could
not see the least hope of peace for
the country. Next day she said
that, if the Emperor would give
up his schemes of conquest and
reign peacefully, she had reason to
think that no obstacle would be
put in the way of her return to
France and she felt no diStaste for
living there again, as she had
always had a liking for the
French" Such we're the state
ments made by her to Baron
Meneval.
But the chevalier d'honneur
whom the Austrian Emperor had
assigned to her-Genera1 Neipperg
was at her side. On April IL,
writing to her friend Victoire de
Poutet, she deplored his departure.
Nov I have absolutely no one to
advise me; in my present sit
uation, and considering my age, I
still need somebody of the kind"
In May she wrote again: Il
have not seen anything of General
Neipperg for the last eighteen
days" So she had come to the
stage of counting the days!
Napoleon's messengers found the
frontiers of Austria closed to
them. Montrond, who managed to
get through, thanks to an
episcopal passport, n m d
Meneval with a Sn1ile-we may be
skeptical about the "smile"-that
he had been given free hand
to kidnap the Empress disguised
as a man.
IT can not say when the En-
press will go to France" Meneval
admitted on April 7, 1915, in a
secret answer to a message from
Napoleon. Indeed her feelings had
been worked upon to such an eX-
tent that the Empress was terrified
at the thought of returning TO
France. During the last six months
everything possible had been done
to estrange her from her husband.
Last Sunday, when 1 was dining
with the Empress, alone, Her Ma
iesty told me that she had come
to an irrevocable decision; never
to return to the Emperor"
ON April 10, letter from Ma
Opoleon reached Vienna, but as
it was intercepted, Marie Louise
was given only a summary OF ITS
contents by word of mouth. New
ertheless, another letter, the last
of all. reached her hands; it was
Meneval who transmitted it. Marie
Louise refused to read it. Il have
sworn to hand over everything to
nv father" she explained to her
secretary, that dependable man
whom the emperor had appointed
to her service.
Meneval, who had so nobly car
ried out his mission despite "a
cloud of loathsome spies" was
compelled to leave Vienna. On
May II the allies declared war on
France.

Meneval babe good-by to the
little King of Rome. telling MIN
he was going back to France and
would see his father there. Mon
Sieur Mera, please tell him I love
him as much as ever" the poor
child said; he looked sad as one
of those victims of old times who
we're led forth to sacrifice, gar
landed with flowers
Il realized that from now on all
relations between myself and
France are at an end"-Such was
the farewell message of Marie
Louise-"but I shall never for
get my adopted land. Tell the
emperor I wish him well. I hope
he will understand the unfortu-
nate position in which am
placed. I will never countenance
a divorce, but ask him to consent
to separation"
The Battle of Waterloo on June
Is and the emperor's exile to
st. Helena, the Ultima Thule of
despair, served as an acid test of
the sincerity of her feelings.
Marie Louise was at Baden when
she heard the news that the en-
peror was taken prisoner. The
mistress Of the house where she
was staying, MarquiSe Scarampy,
danced with joy, while the serv-
ants, who had an almost fantacial
devotion for Napoleon, we're pros
trated with grief. The marquise
sent a note to Marie Louise-whose
door was always closed to Wis
itors till 11-telling her the news.
THANK you-but I knew about
it already. 1 was thinking of a
ride to Merkenstein. Do you
think the weather's fine enough to
risk it?"

After witnessing the outburSts
of resentment and hostility that
broke about his head in the COM
mittee and on the Senate floor,
however, Democratic floor leaders
rushed to the White House with
warning that a real battle was on
their hands.
Mr.. Roosevelt was told that
adoption of any NRA legislation
was doubtful. This, of course,
would mean death to the Blue
Eagle. Failure to renew its life
by June Is automatically ends its
existence.
So to stem the rising tide of
senatorial opposition, Senator Pat
Harrison secretly proposed to the
progressive bloc that they draw
up a compromise bill.
You strip the NRA of what
you don't want" he said, Il am
pretty sure we can get together. "
What about an anti-monopoly
provision?" was demanded.
Get together with Richberg."
airily replied Pat. You can work
that out with him"
I'VE will work out nothing with
Richberg," was the sharp re-
joinder. I'VE don't care to have
anything to do with him on this
issue or any other"
