Washington, D, C., October 13.-- Another radio device to make fly- ing safer and navigation easier has jen perfected by engineers at the ureau of Standards. "It is a marked beacon which will be used in connection with the bur- ef visual type radio beacon to direct the flight of planes by day or night on the civil airways of the Upited States, The marker heacons, which will sepd characteristic sig- nals to the pilots, can he placed pt intermediate fields or at short intervals on crooked sections of the airways so as to form landmarks for the speeding planes, The' use of the marker beacon, in addition tn the radio beacon, will enable the pilot to tell not only whether or not he in on his course but how far alopg the course he has flown. Distinctive Signals The marker beacon consists of a trapsmiting set comprising two 7 1-2 watt tubes used In gp self-recti- fying circuit. 'Alternating current from the 60 cycle supply mains is used to furnish power. By means of the self-rectifying connection, 100 per cent modulation at 8 120 cycle rate of the radio frequency power transferred to the aptepna is ob- tained, A 120 cycle reed, placed on the dashboard of the plane, fs used for receiving the marker sig- nels. The reed is broadly tuped to permit slight fluctations fn the supply frequency. Characteristic coding of each bea- con is obtained by means of 2 mo- tor-driven coptactor switch, open- ing and closing the plate supply circuit at desired finteryals. By these distinctive signals, the pilot is able to Meniiry the beacon over Toronto, Oct. 13.--Armed with a stub of a pencil, 8. J.

What an impostor might hope to gain by impersonation is difficult for friends and relatives to fath- om, unless it were momentary relief. Hope Revives The hope that Harry Devlin might be alive after 12 years of silence came to the family on Wed- nesday might with a telegram ad- dressed to S. L.

The period of anxious waiting has been broken twice during the past two days. Once by a wire from Pueblo which gave a short descrip- tion of the man, and again yester- day by a long-distance telephone conversation. Not Brother's Voice "Of course I may he wrong," Miss Devlin conceded, referring to the telephone conversation, 'but I imagine I would have recognized my brother's voice anywhere. He had a rich, deep voice and this man's voice over the telephone sounded high and cracked."

Challenge By Miss Devlin Across the continent yesterday Miss Devlin threw the challenge to her alleged brother that he was somebody else, ' a acquaintance of ly man appeared not to have heard the name, although Miss Devlin declared she could hear his voice as plainly as though he were in the same room. Last night Miss Devlin refused ta speak further of this incident nor would she dis- close the name she had used. "What made you think of that name?" she was asked. "Oh, I don't know at all," she returned. "Did you think you recognized his voice?" "I had never heard his voice," dhe declared emphatically.
