Iron Weather Man In the Pacific
By Thomas R. Henry
On an isolated, uninhabited island in the Mid-Pacific the U.S. Navy's first iron sentry soon will mount guard-per- haps us the forerunner of an army of robots with copper brains to form cordons around the poles and walk posts. across the seas.
The iron sentry, will report every-six-hours.This-first private of the robot army is being built, according navy's specifications, by commercial firm.
to
The model after which he is being constructed has been on duty for a year at the raval air station at Anacostia, D.C., During this time he never has been caught napping, and hus required little attention. Four times daily he has looked around, made his observations, and radioed his reports, which are received reliably at dis- tances of at least 200 miles from Washington.
His reports consist of the barometric pressure, the air temperature, the humidity,
the force and direction of the wind, and the amount of rain- fall. Each of these is re- corded accurately on the cop- per brain and transformed immediately into radio im- pulses..
The worse the weather the better he likes it. His life blood is the wind, which con- stantly recharges the storage batteries, through a windmill on his head, which keep his brain in operation.
*
The robot was construeled by De Harry Diamond and his asso- clates at the U. S. Bureau of Stan- dards in co-operation with navy officers. The things he dues now are only an indication of what he may be able to do as he grows up in the service, navy officers say, Onc of the Jobs alrendy forecast for him la to drift about in the Allon- tie, keeping ships, Innd stations and planes Informed of the weather ahend,
The robot was first proposed by Dr Willis Gregg, Tate chief of the U. S. Weather Bureau, at a meat- ting of the Amerienn Association for the Advancement of Science In Ottawa in 1938. At that time' it, was considered a futuristic dream.
Dr Gregg wanted these robols set up in a continuous sentry line around the Aretic Circle and over the interior of Greenland to keep the world informed of tempests striking southward from the North Pole.
The idea of robot weather ob- servers, according to Dr Diamond, originated
in Russla about 10 years ago The Russian-device- was crude, but quickly became practical in the
hands of the Bureau of Standards physicists.
The final result was the radio- sand, sent aloft in a balloon to altitudes of nearly 30 miles to re- port by radio on conditions in the upper atmosphere, on which
50 much of the world's weather de- pends. These were all suicide Nights at first Now many of the radiosonds are being recovered and put into service again.
The robot being put into service
by the navy is a direct develop- nient from the radiosond. But whereas the former weighed less than a pound, this new iron brain weighs more than a ton, is built to operate indefinitely, and to with- stand any sort of conditions.
In appearance the sentry of the storms will be a thoroughly un- remantle fellow-merely a wooden box about eight feet square, with a windmill and some antennae on top. That is only the skin of the iron man.
The German Officer
To-day
FOE WORTH
BEATING
TO-DAY
By MAJOR E. W. SHEPPARD
German of- are all over Europe, some in uniform. some disguised as technicians, tourists or advisers."
In the last war we all had a picture in our minds of the typical German officer - straight backed, stiff as a ramrod in his tight-fitting uniform and greatcoat, mono- cled, haughty, arrogant.
.
His mind was of a piece with
his appearance. He knew his job, and little else besides,
He had a high sense of duty, a tremendous sense of caste and calling, and a queer code of honour to which he was utterly faithful.
That code enjoined on him a contempt for money and graft, a strict performance of duty, a meticulous knowledge of his profession and a 'ban on anything which might lower his own personal prestige as an officer, that of the German officer class, or that of the German Army.
More Human, But..
I wonder if he is the same to- day?
His outward appearance has, of course, changed. 50 I think to some extent has his mental out, look.
He is more human, more ap proachable, more among his men, more at case with them. He has learnt that from the French.
He goes in more for sport and tries, not always with success, to cultivate in himself and his troops sense of humour. He learnt that from us.
#
And he has learnt all about the new weapons of war-the tanks, the
the Geroplanes,
motorised arms, the parachutists.
He learnt that, too, from other people-much of it from the des pised-Russians
Has he lost his sense of religion?
I fancy so, and I think he is the worse man for it.
New Weaknesses
I fancy, too, he has lost some- thing of his, strict sense of honour. He is the worse man for that, too, In my view.
But his sense of duty is as-high os over. He still firmly believes in himself, in the eluss to which he
belongs.
in the army of which he is the chief ornament,
And he still believes in Ger-

Не is n formlable Icllow, this German officer of to-dny.
One may respect him, though hardly like him. He is a foe worth beating, and one whom it will take us a lot of trouble to bent.
But he can be beaten-and he wil be, as he has been before.
And all the more certainly. be-- cause he now has weaknesses foreign to his forefathers.
CHIEFTAIN CATRIONA

Twenty-one-year-old Miss Catriona
Maclean of Ardgour, daughter of the former chieftain of the Clan Maclean, has won her five-year fight for the right to use her father's arms.
Her right had been challenged by Lieut-Commander Henry Hugh Maclean, a cousin of the late Ard- gour twice removed, who claimed that as heir-male, he was head of the family of Ardgour.
