COMPASS INVENTED FOR AIRPLANES

NEW YORK, Jan. % G.N.SO.
Vincent Bendix, president of the
Bendix Aviation Corporation,
manufacturers of automotive and
aeronautical equipment, today an
nounced that a new practically
infallible" homing compass for
transport airplanes has been
marketed by Bendix and con-
tracted for by two major air
lines"
Bendix said the new device will
operate on frequencieS of regular
radio stations throughout the
country, picking up the electrical
impulses sent off by the stations
during their normal broadcasts.
He added, however, that the de-
vice will supplement radio direc-
tional beams and two-way-radio-

10 MILLION SET
AS NEW DEAL
WAR CHEST
International News Service

The Democrats have decided to
adopt big business methods in
their efforts to perpetuate them
selves in power.
Instead of coming to life every
two years, when there is a new
Congress elected, and every four
years when there is a national
campaign, the Democratic Ma
tional Committee has voted to put
the party organization on per
petuating basis, with a $4,000, 600
) war chest.
Should the Republicans decide
to emulate the Democratic exam
pie, the presidential campaign OF
1910, when presumably Mr.. Roose-
velt will not be a candidate for re-
election, should be battle of the
titanS-financial titans.
Under the plan advanced by
w. Forbes Morgan, party treas
urer, and tentatively approved
by the committee, State finance
directors will be appointed and
put on a salary in each of the
48 States. There also would be
financial directors in each of the
more than 5000 counties in the
United States, although these
would draw no salaries. They
would be working all the time
to swell the party Golfers against

needs and contributions as fol
lows: 1887, $1,OOO,OO0; 1898, $2..
100000; 1889, $2,5OO,0o0; 1910,
$5.000,O00
It is in 1910 that a new Presi-
dent is to be reelected.
The raising of $10,000,0O0 over
this period would be calculated
to keep the party organization
on its toes continually, and
bring the party into the 1910
contest functioning at maximum
efficiency.

business men here.
The girls stopped cars in the
business section of Bend, got in
beside drivers and began their
sales talk. An intersection became

The new homing compass is to
be used when a pilot loses the
directional beam, which L. A. Hy.
land, corporation vice president,
explained happens because the
beam plots a course over the
ground and not through the air.
Hyland explained that the hom,
ing compass picks up the waves
sent off during radio broadcasts.
These waves, he said, resembled
those stirred into activity in still
pond when a pebble is dropped
into the water.
The compass picks up these
waves and tells the pilot, by the
sound of it's reception, just how
