P was electe Maze of Instruments for Use of Pilot Hasbrouck Heights, N. J,, Feb. 18 (P—Inventive genius has supplied aviators with mechanical ‘“bird sense” for safety in . day or night flying as part of final preparations by air mail companies to begin pas- senger service. A rolling map guldes the pilot when he can see the ground, but in fog,or darkness a plane might get lost, crash into a mountain, or fly upside down if not aided by radio and a multitude of new inStruments. The three motored Fokker mono- plane “Chicago,” built here for the Colonlal Air Transport, Inc., which has the New York-Boston .air mail contract, is equipfed with one of the latest and most complicated in- strument boards, invented by Mor- ris Titterington and Brice Golds- borough. At the left of the board fs a triplex engine gauge to show fuel pressure, engine temperature, and oil pressure. Next, toward the right, is a tachometer to show en- gine speed, and then an air speed indicator. Next is a flight indica- tor, showing level, pitch, and correct bank for a turn. This instrument replaces the sense of equilibrium that is lost by man when he takes to the air. Without it a pllot might turn completely over without know- ing it. Continuing to the right are the fuel gauge, altimeter, and raf®-of- climb indicator. Above is a megnet- ic compass, such as Commander Richard E. Byrd used on his north pole flight. All of the instruments read vertically instead of horizon- tally as has been usual. The *Chicago” is one of four planes, two Fokkers, and two Fords, ordéred for the Boston-New York section of the transcontinental mail service. It has ten passenger chairs and two cockpit seats. It has been on trial here for several ks, Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan. president of the company, claimed a seat for the first trip. Three older planes 150,000 miles between New York and Boston since the route was opened last July. At Yog‘}_ibrary[ Last week the library made sug- ions on out of door hobb! this week the same general idea will be continued only dwelling on those having an indoor or fireside interest. The amenities of book collecting and kindred affections by A. Ldward Vewton is a group of delightful es- says, many of which have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly. “Book have flown | heraldry is included. It is a choice volume, and the illustrations, partic- ularly those in color, are beautiful. “Samplers, Selected and Describ- ed,” with an introduction by Leigh Ashton of the Victoria and Albert Museum is a recent publication of the Medici society and one of grea beauty. The text is not extes ve | but the plates are very choice. Fiv are {n color and there are seventy two in black and white, and each one remarkable for its clearness. The collectors of china will find a treasure house in the new book by Harold Donaldson Eberlein and Roger Wearne Ramsdell entitled “The , Practical Book of China Ware.” One especially satisfactory feature is that it deals only with | such china as the person of aver- | age means can expect to have either | through inheritance or by purchase. | Distinctly museum rarities are omit- ted, so that the book at once as- sumes a practical value. rangement is by countries and the book claims to be the only work in one volume which covers the china ware of all countries. “The Blue China Book” by Ada ‘Walker Camehl is descriptive of the Staffordshire pottery which pictured early American scenes and history. A speclally valuable supplementary chapter describes the collection of Presidential china in the White House noting the additions made during the various administrations. | Finally a checking list is appended of known examples of Anglo-Amer- | ican china. Here again the illus- trations greatly add to the interest and value of the book. “Old Glass, European and Amer- ican,” by N. Hudson Moore, offers this hobby. A vast amount of ma- terial is included and 265 fllustra- tions add to the pleasure of the 1 book. A thirteen page bibliography | on American glass factories up to 1850 is also worthy of attention. Finally mention should be made of still another phase of collecting. | represented in a book of hand wov- | en coverlets by Eliza Calvert Hall.
