A bank of airport floodlights was turned on, and an instant later the pilot was gliding safely along a path of illumination that was called into being by the voice of his own plane. Thousands witnessed the successful exhibition of the sound-sensitive automatic lighting agency developed by T. Spooner, research engineer of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company, . . Merle Moltrup, chief of the air mail pilots at Bettis field, made the landing which opens a new volume in theannals of aviation. Essentially the function of the device is to use the drone of an airplane to control electrical energy. At first this controlled energy Is a tiny weakling, but it Is nursed along by a corps of amplifiers, and finally emerges as. a husky child capable of closing a good-sized lighting switch. This switch locks automatically and the lights remain on until turned off by the field attendant. Loud Speaker Reversed. . A loud speaker constitutes the weu^. of the mechanism. It works in. reverse order, inhaling rather than exbaling sound. The loud speaker laid on its back gives the apparatus a' directive effect with reference to noises from above. A microphone completes the auditory section. After passing through the initial amplifier the impulse is received by a resonant circuit set, tuned to the dominant frequency of the airplane drone. Here a second amplifier does its work and then the thread is picked up by a device which has an amplifying power of 100,000,000. The electrical Impulse, which 'a split second before was awakened by the hum of the plane, Is now ready for the time-limit relay--the last step in the process before the long arm of. electricity reaches out to close the power switch. The time-limit relay Is a vital unit in the Spoonef sound'selectlve switch. Without this feature the automatic lighting mechanism might be operated by sporadic transient noises. With the time-limit feature nothing less than the continuous hum, characteristic of the moving plane, will operate the apparatus and light the field. Lacking this unit the apparatus would be like a nerve frazzled watchman, who, startled by the slightest disturbance, jumps to the lighting switch, not knowing whether the noise he heard came from the air or the earth. The time-limit agency gives the Spooner device the advantage of the self-possessed watchman who knows what be is about to do before he acts. New Type of Projector. The lights that went into action automatically, came frem a new type of airport projector developed by the Westinghouse company. The new unit is designed to furnish sufficient illumination over an uneven field, at the same time keeping the source of light low and eliminating objectionable glare In the eyes of the aviator. It consists essentially of a steel drum 25 inches In diameter and 19 Inches deep, mounted on a 2% inch pipe standard. Mounted within the drum are a lamp socket with vertical, lateral and in-and-out focusing adjustments, a 23 - Inch parabolic metal reflector of such focal length that all reflected rays come approximately within a 8 degree divergence, and a system of louvers to absorb all those rays of direct light the upward tilt of which exceeds 1% degrees. A spread lens mounted In front of the shell gives a horizontal spread of 45 degrees to the beam. The unit Is so mounted on the pipe standard that It may be rotated horizontally. or tilted vertically two degrees above and six degrees below the horizontal. It is dust and rain proof. When equipped with a 1,500-watt projection lamp and spread lens, the unit gives a maximum Intensity of 250,000 C. P., with an estimated Intensity with plain lens of 8,000,000 C. P. The projector may be accurately focused by the use of a daylight lamp-setter developed for the purpose. Locals Put Up Good Ftj^t Saturday, Bat Heavier'County-seat Teams Are Victors One of the old-time spirited contests with both sides fighting to win, took place at the local football field on Saturday afternoon between the high school teams of Woodstock and McHenry. McHenry suffered a double defeat at the hands of the Woodstockites in the two close hard fought battles with the Blue and White players of Wood stock winning their first victory out of three starts with a score of 6 to 0 and thus enabling them to tie the league leading Marengo crew in the race for the county high school pennant. Although it was a winner the score was nothing to brag of and McHenry did some great playing and put up a gallant stand to hold the Woodstock players down to the only one score they could put over. The boys of the Orange and Black threatened the Woodstock goal lines several times and with the added experience gained from each new game the local boys have decided that the old adage of "three times and out" is going to apply in their case and they intend to return home victorious from Crystal Lake, where they will play" next Saturday. The McHenry boys are game and good fighters and with these qualities can. not help having a successful season. In the first quarter McHenry .received the kick-off and on the first play the ball was carried to the 40- yard line by Barbian. It was then advanced to the 20-yard line and McHenry felt sure of a score when Huemann made an end run, scoring for McHenry but because of a foul which was made the score did not count for the home team. Again the McHenry boys with grim determination carried the ball to the 3-yard line, but the Woodstock line tightened up, forming a barrier which the lighter players could not penetrate and the ball could not be put over and McHenry lost the ball on downs. The first quarter ended showing a hard fight with neither side able to score. In the second quarter Woodstock opened with a pass attack a Tew minutes after the quarter started and finally succeeded in scoring by a line pass, thus chalking up the only score made during the game. A drop kick was missed and nothing exciting happened during the remainder of the quarter. In the third quarter McHenry kicked off with an exchange of punts which lasted all during the quarter with the game being played near the middle of the field, with neither team making any real threat to score. In the first half of the fourth quarter the punting was continued when Schroeder decided to try for a win by passes. In the closing minutes of play McHenry made several desperate attempts to score by a line pass and while many were completed they were too lateral for much yardage and the game ended with Woodstock winning 6 to 0.. Although it was another defeat the locals displayed real fight and deserve much credit for their1 showing and their good work. The local lightweights also \frent down to defeat before the stronger Woodstock lights in the curtain raiser with a score of 24 to 0. Although McHenry had all the fight necessary they were badly out-weighed nearly twenty pounds to the man and lacked the experience of the older Woodstock players. It was lucky for Woodstock that their players got in some scores in the first half, for during the second half Captain Jerry Stielen and his team grew more determined and held Woodstock to one touchdown during the entire second half. Henry Stoff el proved to be the star tackier for the lights. They deserve much credit for their work and if they succeed in meet ing a team their size the story will be much different. The McHenry heavies and lights will travel to Crystal Lake Saturday where they will tackle the Crystal Lake teams in a double header. The boys are doing their best this week in their efforts to change the story for Saturday. The line-up of the game Saturday was as follows: c, Leo Smith, lg; Nick Miller, rg; Frank Kempher, It; Dan O'Shea, rt; O. Granger, re; James Frisby, le; Bob Thurwell, gb; Kirk Schra'eder, lb; Joe Barbian, hb; Huemano, lib; Frett. ..

SOCIAL AND CLUB DOINGS OF WSJW5, (Continued from front page) t>ady Foresters Enjoy Trip • Several of the members of St. Patricia's Court, W. C. O. F., enjoyed a trip to Chicago last Saturday, at which time they saw "The Way of the Flesh" at McVickers theater and also saw Jackie Coogan in the "Bugle Call." They took dinner at the For ester rooms in the Venetian building and had a delightful trip. Those who made up th^party were: Mrs. Michael Knox and daughter, Florence, Misses B. and Mary Doherty, Mrs. Mary Carey, Mrs. Mary Powers, Mrs. Mollie Givens, Mrs. John McEvoy and Bliss Ellen Doherty. Bridge Parties * -• Mrs. Albert Krause was hostess to several friends at her home last Friday afternoon with bridge furnishing the entertainment for the guests. Two tables were in play with first prize going to Mjrs. A. Purvey, second prize to Mrs. J. W. Rothermel and the consolation to Mrs. George Bohr Mrs. H. C. Hughes entertained several friends at bridge at her home at Ringwood on Thursday evening of last week. Two tables of bridge were in play, with high honors going to Mrs. R. A. Thompson, and the pleasant evening drew to a close with the serving of refreshments. The guests present were: Mrs. It. A. Thompson.. Mrs. N. H. Petesch, Mrs. Andrew Eddy, Mrs. Earl Monear, Mrs. Joe Smith, Miss Agnes Bigelow, Mrs. James Ladd and Mrs. Frank Hitchens. Miss Bertha Schiessle entertained heJ» friends at bridge at her home on Tuesday evening. Two tables were in play, with the first prize being won by Miss Clara Schiessle, while the consolation went to Miss Florence Kinsala. The guests present were: Mrs. Henry Kinsala, Mrs. Theodore Schiessle, Jr., Miss Florence Kinsala, Miss Clara Schiessle, Miss Eleanor Kinsala, Mrs. P. H. Weber and Miss Mildred Kinsala. Mrs. Theodore Schiessle, Jr., entertained a few friends at bridge at her home Monday evening. The evening passed pleasantly with the WOODSTOCK HALE QUARTETTE IN CONCERT Four Men Have Been Singing To- * gather In this District ^ Twenty Years /V An uHUsual concert is to be given at the Woodstock opera house, Oct. 20 and 21. For nearly twenty years Ben Anderson, Clarence Coonrad, Tom Merwin and John Fish have been singing together as the Woodstock Male Quartette. They have ever been very generous of their time and talent. No one who has asked for their services has been refused. Without charge they have sung for lodges, churches, political gatherings, farmers' organizations, women's clubs, etc. They have gone, not only to every town, but to every nook and cranny of the county. . Not only McHenry, but Boone, Winnebago, Lake, Kane and Cook counties have had their services, also several communities in Wisconsin. The strange thing in the whole matter is that never in all this time have they put on a concert for themselves, nor has any organization put on an entertainment for them. They might wonder if their music and time were appreciated, as far as ever having received any marked approval on the part of the public beyond an occasional encpre. WLS, Chicago, where they have often broadcasted with "The Little Brown Church in The Vale," has sent them many letters of commendation which the station has received after the quartette has sung. , But McHenry county has never voiced its approval in any degree corresponding to the great service rendered many years by the Quartette. It remained for the Woodstock Mlethodist Brotherhood to awaken to this fact, and to initiate a movement to bring to Ben, Clarence, Tom and John the appreciation long overdue. Accordingly the Brotherhood has rented the Woodstock opera house for two nights in October, and is sponsoring a super concert, as a testimonial to the quartette of the honor in which it is-held. Nor is this honor to consist simply of applause which is no novelty to the quartette. It will conmm- " ' .. ;. •••" -• prize for high score going to Miss , sist of the opera house jammed to the Eleanor Kinsala, while Miss Bertha' Schiessle. received the consolation. The evening came to a close with the serving of refreshments. Royal Bunco Club The members of the Royal Bunco club surprised one of their members, Mrs. J. J. Marshall, at her home last Wednesday evening, the event being her birthday anniversary. The hostess soon recovered from her surprise and made the guests most welcome, doors for two nights in their honor It will consist of the finest publicity any quartette ever had. Best of all it will bring in a roll of crisp bills and a stack of shining metal as a testimonial to these four men who have sung more often without pay than the opposite. All friends of the quartette will be enthusiastic in helping the sale of 1,200 tickets which will assure an affair of real honor to the quartette.

White Pearls in Demand Pearls that come from the coast of Australia are of many shapes and colors. Those under ten grains ire sold by the ounce; above that by the grain. Color has a deaf to do with the value. The white pearls go Mostly to Europe and' the yellow one's to India. In Australia an ounce of good white pearls will fetch up to $500, but sometimes realize only a fifth of that amount. The yellow pearls may be rated on an average of about half the value of the white ones.
