The lights are of the most modern type, perfected by the Army Engineer Corps, for use in anti-aircraft defense work, and the horns were devised by the ordnance department. The tests are expected to reveal ac- curately the penetrating qualities and the amount of field covered at various heights by the present type of search- light and the accuracy and range of the horns in locating airplanes by sound when they cannot be seen be- cause of darkness or clouds. Tests already made show that the lights are sufficiently powerful to reveal night-flying planes at heights as great as 15,000 feet, or nearly three miles. The tests so far have been confined al- most entirely to the task of determining | th> penetrating power of the search- lights. In these tests the lights are| turned toward the sky and the beams | held stationary while the plane fli through the beams at fixed autitudes. In the present tests the plane makes its i first flight through the successive light beams on a course at a 6,000-foot alti- tude. Then the plane rises to 7,000 feet and again flies through the beams. Each successive flight is made at an increased altitude of 1000 feet. On one of the night tests this week the plane made nine flights over the course, the last time at an altitude of 15,000 feet, which is the maximum height to which the Army allows its pilots to fly without oxygen tanks and respirators. Later on the plane will fly on an erratic course over the Fort Humphreys region in a test of the ability of the searchlight cr to locate and hold | the elusive tarket in their beam for th> benefit of simulated anti-aircraft | Datteries. | Supervising Tests. e being conducted under | er n of Col. Edward M.| ccmmandant of the post at Hamvhrevs, end Maj, William H. | Tanagan, re| nting the anti-aircraft | board. The night flying is being con- | ducted in a Fokker plane powered with | two Pratt & Whitnsy Wasp motors and | the day flying in a Keystone bombing plane with two Liberty motors. The Fokker is piloted by Lieut. J. Peyton and the Keystone by Lieut L. G. Fisher. Both planes are from Langley Field. Day flights are made at 2 p.m. and | jif night flights at 7 p.m. Flights have been ordered every afternoon and night | § this week, after which the planes will go on a schedule of afternoon and night flights every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday during the remaining five weeks of the tests. .. i more than 30 trainmen have been killed | in recent months in various deliberate | wrecks and attacks on railway trains. It says that the Agus Calientes-Guada- lajara division has suffered most from the depredations of the bandits, al- though in recent months there have also been attacks on trains running be- | tween Mexico City and Laredo and El Paso, Tex. The situation has reached the point, | according to the newspaper, that rail- | road employes are considering refusing | to operate trains unless they are better | protected. | EPTEMBER FURNITURE SALE CONVENIENT TERMS George.
