CONTROLLED ALTisiETER FOR PLANES

NEW YORK, Oct. A radio controlled altimeter, translating peaks and gullies into signals on an airplane'S instrument panel. IS the promised solution to one of aviation's greatest safety prob lemS.
 The United Airlines and Vest ern Electric have perfected an altlmeter which has been success fully demonstrated for the first time and is capable of indicating the distance between a plane and any obstruction rising above sea level
 Below present air pressure, the altimeters only indicate the planes altitude above sea level. The new instrument operates on transmission of radio microWav- es from plane to the earth; the waves rebound and the time be- tween transmission and repiti- tion is translated into feet on dial.
 In initial tests the instruments sensitivity was shown by fuc- tuations as the plane passed over buildings, bridges and rivers. The needle joggles when plane altimeter is so sensitive that it's plane passes over rowboat on wide expanse of water.
 It will be available to the in- dustry in general after final tests soon to be completed, not only to furnish readings of planes height above Instructions and terrain, but also to warn of any high obstacles ahead.
 The device is free from static interference. In effect, it gives the pilot a real picture of what and how far an obstacle is be- meath them; also, what height is ahead of any given angle, even when there is no visibility.

Aboard s. s. Mckinley at Sea, enroute Nome.
 I am glad to see so many here on this stupendous, romantic oc- casion, to witness the amalga- nation of this jazz piano, saxa- phone player, Marjorie Bumper nickle Brodt with this young gin blotter Robert Montgomery Barn yard.
 (Aside to father of bride)
 Will you kindly keep that gun ponted at the bride, and not at the minister? After all the min ister is a minor element in this particular case.
 If there is any rat present, knowing the reason these two are being joined in lockstep, speak not and forever keep his or her respective trap shut.
 Robert Montgomery Barnyard, knowing as you do that this here female is in love with a Dutch Harbor sheep herder, are you willing to stick out your neck from behind the eight ball and take her for your illegal squaw? Answer yes or no.
 Marjoria Pumpernickle Brodt, are you also willing to extend your neck to the extent of talk ing this here Texas steer for your illegal husband and ack- nowledge him as the father of the papoose which we found in his state room yesterday after noon?
 Answer yes,-or no, if you dare. Some folks is such funny peoples.
 To best man:
 This being double ring serv- ice, may l have the ring?
 Business of bride groom fumb- ling for quoit rings after which they drop from his pants leg.
 Business of placing attached rings on ankle of bride and groom.

THE FRIENDLY WORD

The ability to say few words of
friendliness counts high in the effort
to build up trade. The salesman
who only wants to sell his article
and get the money. and who can't
make the effort to say word about
anything else to his customers, is
likely to fail to make business
friends. He is usually so busy at
times that he can't say that friendly
word without making others wait.
He does however get many chances
each day to throw out cheerful re-
marks which make him popular
among his townspeople, and which
convince them that grasping the dol
lars is not the only ambition of his
life.
Much business goes by friendship.
While excessive talking wastes time
needed for other things, the man
who shuts his mouth like a clam
presents to the world a sour shell
hat attracts little favor.

FRIGnTENEp INYEsT0Rs

The American Institute Of Finance
says that to obtain prosperity. the
country needs to encourage capital
Investment People must be in
duced to invest money in such things
as houses, factory and business build
ings, power and railroad plants.
To induce people to so invest mo-
ney. some security has to be given
that they viii lget their money back.
The man who some years ago in
vested $1,000 in railroad stocks, and
who finds that today they are worth
only 500 or 5000. feels very timid.

is THE COUNTRY HEALTHYl

Country districts are commonly
called the healthiest to live in, be-
cause of pure air and habits of out
door life. The country folks are
often SO careless about sanitary pre-
cautions, that these benefits are off,
set.
Health experts complain about
many rural water supplies as one
source of disease. Many farmhouse
wells are carelessly dug and insult
ficiently protected after they are
dug. The absence of running water.
specially hot water, is complained
of in many rural homes. Every
county in the United States ought to
have health center. where the peo-
pie can be taught how to avoid those
deadly germs that may lie in wait
even in the healthiest location.

sI0O0O0, 100000 INCOME

President Roosevelt said in his re
cent message to congress. that it il
his hope that the national income o
the American people can be raised
from the 1897 level OF SOS. 900, 900 700
to about $90.OOO.OOO,OOO to $780,
O0O.O0O,OOO This is a consummation
which the American people most
earnestly desire.
Spending money by the govern
ment will not help much, because
that calls on the people to pay more
taxes. When they pay out money in
taxes, they have less left to spend for
the necessities of life. That kind of
transaction is simply transferring
mohey from one pocket to another.
The gain desired can be had only
by increasing the production of the
country. AS it is claimed the farms
already raise a surplus, there is lit
tie gained by increasing farm pro-
duction. Apparently we must look
to increased factory and shop pro-
duction as the only means to pro-
duce the $1OO.0OO.O0O.OOO income.
Such an increase obviously can
be produced only in two ways. First.
by eliminating shut-downs, irregular
operation of factories. and depres-
sions. Second. by longer hours of
work
Anything that tends toward irregu-
lar operation of industries, defeats
the hopes for the S1OO, O,OOO, 900 900 in
Labor troubles help produce
this irregularity. There ought to be
such a spirit of reasonableness on
the part of both labor and capital
that shut-downs due to this cause
would be avoided. The slow times in
the building industry are one of the
chief obstacles in the way of this
$1OO, ,OOO, 100000 income. The high
costs of building thus constitute
serious handicap. Every industry
should study its methods and plans
with a magnifying glass, to see if it
can do anything to avert these shut
downs that prevent the nation from
attaining complete welfare.

From what one hears around Con-

"trust-bustihg" campaign isn't likely
to be such a vigorous campaign af-
ter all. One reason, surprisingly, is
that there don't seem to be as many
big trusts" to be busted" as some
folks apparently think.
By pure coincidence or otherwise
the anti-mOnOpOly drive was laun-
ched just a few days before the un-

were jobless. And the public reac-

GROMTH OR STARVATION

A child grows because the nour-
ishing food you give him exceeds the
waste which his body constantly
throws off. If you cut off most of
that nourishing food. he will not
merely stop growing, but he is likely
to starve, and may lose his life if this
treatment is continued long enough.
SO it is with the business of Mil
ford or any other place. If fed
nourishment in the form of patron
age of the home stores. the business
grows. If that nourishment is cut
on by buying goods elsewhere, then
the home business stops growing. or
is in danger OF starvation.

ALCOMOL AND INCIDENTS

What proportion of automobile
accidents is due to alcohol? One
common estimate is that about 10
per cent of the accidents are due to
this cause. DR.. DeSilva of the Har-
ward bureau for traffic research says
that probably nearer 25 per cent of
these smashes are due to this cause.
How much alcohol can a person
consume without affecting the power
to drive an automobile safely? Many
people behind the wheel have had
enough of this stimulent to cloud
their judgment. They are filled with
a false confidence in their ability.
If they see a narrow gap in the line
ahead, they feel a certainty they can
run the car into that gap, that they
would not feel if their minds had
their usual alertness.
Many Incorporate men are driving
cars who would never be permitted
to operate a railroad locomotive.
Some power should put its strong
hand on the drunken driver, and tell
him to let some sober person take
the wheel until he can control him
self.

ANKFETIEs OF YOUNG People


Young people are often described
as care free. as SO full of life and
hope and vitality that the future has
no terrors for them. and they view
the path ahead with sanguine conf
dence.
In former years, it was practically
certain that any boy or girl who had
done well in school or college could
soon find work. Recent years have
seen millions of them unable TO do
so, even after having had very ex-
pensive edueations. They peer into
the somewhat misty future with
dark fears, as to their coming plunge
into the cold world.
Life goes at a faster pace than
it used to. The youngsters feel they
must have exciting sports and occu-
pations to make them forget their
troubles. Frequently they do things
which lower their powers of resist
ance. They stay up late nights for
and parties. and are fiat and |
tired the next day. Living under ex-
cessive stimulation, the anxieties and
of life seem more SER
Gus.
The most important thing is to
give them work when they need it.
rhe anxious youth who lands a job
when he quits school next June will
eel a lot better in a few months.
he makes good.
Parents tell the youngsters to go
low and not drive so hard at their
ports and pastimes. They reply, if
hey don't go into these things with
II their energy, they are left one
ide in sports and social life. Eight
ours sleep every night would do
hem good. While they may have to
fait some time for job. anyone who
as done we'll in his studies and
hows willingness to work, does not
sually have to lie idle very long

WILDLIFE RESOURCES

Wildlife has exceptional values as
an economic resource. An adequate
supply of wildlife means cash in the
hands of the people. Such crops are
dependent upon environment, ma
tures balance, science. organized ef-
fort. ana esencroachment of civil
izatiOn.
The foregoing sounds like base
materialism, perhaps it is, but the
psychology of a machine age is ma
terialistic. It's analyses demand, and
calculates production to meet that
demand. It studies cost and quality.
1t depends upon research to find
ways and means to reduce costs and
improve quality.
Early settlers found this continent
a paradise. They hunted, fished and
trapped for a livelihood. The first
American fortunes. small as they
were, were built from the income
made possible by an abundant supply
of wildlife. Then those adventures
made profits from the sale of lumber
which they took from the forests, ag-
ricultural profits from the soil and
manufacturing profits from water
power Thus this continent was de- |
veloped. While civilization prosper
ed wildlife diminished. Today some
important species are classed as
rare. while others are extinct.
Insects do millions of dollars
worth of damage yearly to crops. but
these are another kind of crop
crops of grain and vegetables. Many
species of wildlife help to control
insects. Game insectivorous and song
birds derive benefit from the winter
feed put out by farmers, sportsmen
and natur eseekers through organ
lied effort. Cooperation is helping
to solve this problem. AS coopera-
tiOn increases and we become more
efficient through science, so will
crops of wildlife increase.
Wildlife resources also have great
and aesthetic values.
Science has found many ways to ad-
to wildlife propagation. the
same intelligent remedies it gives to
other natural resources, such as ag-
riculture. wildlife production should
not be curtailed below prescribed
Progress is being made in many
states. In Delaware the last two
crops of wildlife were encouraging.
However, there is much hard work
ahead before maximum production
can be secured. Obviously, but con-
sistent with the available environ
ment, the states can protect, con-
serve and propagate as much Wild
life, for the common. good, as the
people are willing to work for. i

in court%
There actually have been fewer
antitrust prosecutions in recent
years than for any comparable per-
iod since the turn OF the century.
The reason, Of course, is that the
NRA and the Guffey Coal Act and
numerous other laws have ten
dency to stimulate monopolistic
practices and it is hardly cricket to
tell a man he must do something
and then to prosecute him for it.
