He leaned his back against the coun- tci, facing the flelu. â- 'Here you are," the boy said, hand- ing a frankfurter to Planer. Just at that moment there was a sharp report out on the field.

WASHINGTON, AUfi. 2uth, â€" De- velopment of an airplane which vir- tually "files itself" was announced to- day by the War Department. The piano, n large Army cargo type was landed repeatedly nt Wright Field Dayton, Ohio, under adverse condi- tions with a Sperry gyro pilot. There was lo human assistance. Capt. Carl J. Crane, Capt. Georgo V. Holloman nnd Raymond Stout occu- pied tlie plane while the tests were made, but in no way assisted in man- oeuvring It to the ground. The land- ings were "made with amazing accur- acy," the Department said. The gyro pilot, a new device devel- oped after two years of intensive re- search by Air Corps engineers, differs from other automatic landing systems tlie Deparlment said, in that the craft is landed wlthotU assistance from the hu.man pilot, "and also witli remote control from the ground." The new techniQUo insures safe '.andinss ''In a dense fog. in absolute d'lrkne.^.s, or other ndver.so conditions, the Department stated. K.KnerinientH will bo carried on, It was announced to make Improvements and render automatic landings a cus- tomary feature in plane flights. Takes A Year To Cross Ocean RoUlfs Teited in Ocean Currents â€" Fan-Shaped Drift Dis- covered. A test of oeeai: currents, I.t which 17 bottles ranging from castor oil to cliampapna empties crossed the Atlan- tic in seven months to one year, was disclosed this week at the American Museum of Natural History. One hundred corked bottles were dumped overboard on July 2S, 193G, by a museum expedition, 35 miles off the north Newfoundland coast. The Idea was to t ..octlon nnd speeds of the sea currci; •. K. Thomas Gilllard, the staff assi.stant at the muwum, and Samuel KnoT George, of Haltimore, made Ur.a exporlinont. Results will bo published in Septeraidjor Natural His- tory, ihii miineuin's magazine. Tho first bottle showed up on the west coast of Ireland last February 11 and tin nirlino distance from New- foundleu'I v/a:) about l.SOO miles, but the holtlo drifted a longer coarse. Kngland and Franco got bottles la- tor. In July two of them broke into Spain's revolution ptiJIlciently to at- tract ai.tentlor. of fighting men. Every bottle contained a card to be fill! d out with position and date of finding. Felix Davtanedia, command- er of military marine, mailed a card from a bottle picked up near Bilbao. ''Viva Espana. Second year of the triumph," lie wrote. Tho other bottle in Spanish waters was picked up by Frank Lowell, chief" petty officer of the Rritish warship, Kempcnfeldt, on patrol duty in the Bay of Riscay. Ireland got six all told. On July 1st a bottle hit tho Scilly Islands "on the nose." These are the first land sight- ed by liners crossing to tlic English Channel. Two bottles landed near Cornwall, England. The course, fo'Wowed by the bottles, Gilliard said, was not toward Europe at fir:;t but south with the cold cur- rent which flows from Labrador. This carried them to the ''eastward drift" which \a tho name given the Gulf Stream after it veers from tho Ameri- can coast toward Europe. This drift is fan-shaped by the time it reaches Europe. Some of it courses northward toward Iceland. Other por- tions curve southward past France and Spain. Hospital Presented To Town Thirty years ago, a joint stock company was organized in Wingham, Ontario, to provide a hospital for that town, its founder being the late Dr. J. P. Kennedy. When equipped, it was valued at $C,000. Its value has grown to ?35,0"00. Recently it was formally presented to t"^ town by the company.

Work Provided For 750 More $300,000.00 Construction in Lea- mington and Delhi Districts Will Mean Employment of 2,100 Tobacco Workers. Good news for seasonal tobacco workers and their families in the vic- inity of Delhi and r.,eamington, Ont., is provided in an announcement this week by tho Imperial Leaf Tobacco Company of Canada, Limited. .Vow construction costing in tho neighbour- hood of $300,000.00, now under way at these two points, will provide work for as many as 2,100 employees, which is 750 nioro than formerly employed â€" the e.xact number depending upon tho size of this year's tobacco croi) â€" and will result in better working con- ditions and iniproved facilities for the handiin.g and storage of tobacco after it is received from the growers. A new three storey building SS' x 142' is being constructed at Delhi. It will be of reinforced concrete tbrnugh- out, and tho upper floor will have glass bricks in place of windows. Through their northern exposure will come an even and abundant distribu- tion of the precious north light, so coveted by artists and all those who work in colours, to Insure greater pre- cision and uniformity in the selection of tho different colours and grades of tobaccos. Additional improvements to be in- corporated in the new building include a depressed road which will allow- easy handling of tobacco from the far- mer's truck to tho basement floor. From the basement it will be conveyed vertically to the second floor where a continuous horizontal conveyor, run- ning all around the room, will carry bundles of tobaccc to those who grade it for colour and quality. After it leaves the graders, the tobacco will be gathered on a central conveyor which will discharge on the first or middle floor. Here the tobacco, now graded, will bo tied into hands and placed on sticks ready to go into tho dryers. Similar work on a smaller scale is being done at Leamington, Ontario, where alterations costing In the neieh- bourhood of $u0.0on.O0 are taking place.
