DEVICE PERFECTED HEIGHT OVER LAND An absolute altimeter which not only will furnish in airplane pilot with readings of hla exact height above actual ground but which also will warn him of anjr obstaclea ahead, today waa reported to have been per fected after yeara of raaearch. According to wire advlcea received from Chicago headquartera by Max O. Henne. field manager of United Air Llnee here, the altimeter waa successfully demonstrated by United Air Unea and Woatem Electric en gineer, along with a group of tech nical obeervera, on a apeclal flight at New York. Following additional aerrlee tests by United, which Is planning to Install the device on all It planea In the near future, the al timeter will be made available to the Industry generally, It waa an nounced. Reporta stated that the device, an the first suocesBtul altimeter to show clearance above the ground, operates on the shortest radio wave ever used for commercial purposes and, due to the ultra-high frequency, Is entirely free from static Interference. Al though the present unit weighs 40 pounds, production models will weigh, only about 35 pounds, offlclala said. Radio Signal Used p. o. Sandretto, communications engineer of United Air Lines. Is cred ited with first having applied the principle employed In the set, de signed by the Bell Telephone Labora tories and built by Western Electric. It la said to Involve the transmission of a radio signal to the earth, recep tion of the signal's reflection back from the ground, measurement of the elapsed time between transmis sion and reception, and translation of this measurement Into a direct al tltude reading In feet, from a few feet to a mile. The description stated that the al tfmater can be directed forward o at any angle desired to warn pilots should thev be nearlng terrain or ob. structlons and that a warning light flashes on should the alrplBne be below a fixed minimum altitude above terrain. In effect, the device thus gives pilots a reallstlo "picture of tha ground below and ahead, even when there la no vlslDllliy, Mr. nen na explained. Stating that It had Droved effective under all conditions, official declared the Instrument to be so sensitive that It will register abangea In ground terrain clearance when being flown over a two-atory bunding. To Be Installed Following Initial test In both a laboratory and a trlmotored research plane of Weetem Electric, the alti meter waa perfected and Installed lor service testing In a fllht research Boeing twin-motored plane of United Air Lines. "Our engineers and pilots regard the development of this device as ma of the most Important technical ad vancements In air transportation his tory," said W, A. Patterson, president of United, In a telegram to Mr. Hen na. "The Bell and Western Electric laboratories, with whloh our com pany has worked on thla project for the past two and a half years, are to be highly commended by the avi ation Industry for the Important con tribution they have made to the safety of scheduled flying. Following eompletlon of service tests In Uni ted' flying laboratory, our company Intend to make standard Installation of these devices on awry airliner In It fleet."

(API Cys tine chemical mixed with alfalfa may lead to revolution In dairy feed se lections and resulting increases In milk production. Dr. J. R. Haag, Ore gon State college nutrition chemist, said yesterday hts experiments Indi cated. Mother rats were fed minute quan tities of cystine with alfalfa meal by Dr. Has.fi and hla swifts nt, U D. Wright. Milk flow of the mother rait Increased to such an extent their voung ftrrw half again as rapidly ss those whose mot hers received only alfalfa meal. Dr. Haag explained cystine was an amino acid containing sulphur and found In certain proteins. Its most convenient source is hair, the college laboratories producing their supply Irom bushels of barber shop clippings. Th present production cost of cys tine would prevent Inclusion In dairy feeds. Dr. Haag said, but he will study Its effect upon cows. If the results are the same aa with rats, Dr, Hung predicted It would markedly affect selection of concentrates for feeding with alfalfa hay, large'y used by Ore Ron dairymen. I'LL TAKE OOP!
