AIRPLANE RADIO
 NEWLY IMPROVED

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 21. (UP)-- Development of an automatic air. plane radio which records and transmits weather conditions in high attitudes was announced here today.
 The instrument, called a radio meteorograph, was perfected at the Blue Hill Meteorological Observa- tory of Harvard university. Z
 The new instrument has been put in service on an U. s. army airplane which makes daily weather ascents from Boston airport for the U. s. weather bureau. Investigation of weather conditions in the supper air is held important for regular fore casting and for safe air transport.
 The radio-meteorograph, which can be installed in an airplane or hung from sounding balloons, auto- matically transfits every 30 seconds on the Ultra short wave length of five meters records of temperatures, humidity and barometric pressure.
 A special receiving apparentus at the observatory receives and records the messages on a revolving drum. The device weighs three pounds without batteries.

 DIED YESTERDAY

Washington, Oct. 21.-(UP)-Maj
 Gen. Adolphus Washington Greedy
 who waited 51 years for congress
 sional recognition of his heroisrl irl the Arctic, died yesterday in Walter
 Reed hospital after a brief illness He was 9l.
 Greely was a robust young man in 1881 when he led a tragic expedi-
 ton to the far north, resulting in
 the death of all except seven of his l 24 comrades. Only his courage dur
 ing three year fight against nature in the Arctic brought the remnants of his party back to civilization. This spring, half a century later compression bestowed upon the white -haired general the Congres- sional Medal of Honor. The distinc- ton was so belated that Gen Greedy was unable physically tc leave his home for the acceptance ceremony. In the. years between his fai northern exploits and recognition the generals life led him from one distinction to another. He was made
 head of the Army Signal Corps; he organized the weather bureau and took it out of politics; he advised l President Mckinley in the Spanish American War, and he directed re- lief work after the San Francisco l fire. @
