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 fron sentry soon will mount guard-per- haps as the forerunner of an army of robots with copper brains to form cordons around the poles and walk posts across the sens.
The iron sentry will report every six hours. This first private of the robot army is being built, according เบ navy's specifications, by commercial firm.
1
The model after which he is being constructed has been on duty for a year at the naval air station at Anacostia, D.C. During this time he never has been caught napping, and has required little attention. Four times daily he has looked around, made his observations, and radioed his reports, which are received reliably at this- lances' 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 corded accurately on the cop- pur brain and transformed immediately into radio im- pulses.
re-
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 constructed by Dr Harry Diamond and his asso- clates at the U. S. Bureau of Sinn- dards in co-operation
with navy officers. The things he does, now are only an indication of what he -may be able to do an he grows up in the service, navy officers say. One of the jobs already forecast for him is to drift about in the Atlon- tie, keeping ships, land stations and planes informed of the weather alend.
The robot was first proposed by Dr. Willis Grogg, late chief of the
Dr Gregg wanted these robots set up in a continuous sentry line around the Arctic Circle and over the interior of Greenland to keep the world informed of tempests striking southward from the North Pole.
The iden of robot weather ob- servers, according to Dr Diamond, originated in Russia 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- sond,

many of the radiosonds are being recovered und put into service dgain.
The robot being put into service by the navy is a direct develop- ment
from the radiosond. But wheres the former weighed less than a pound, this new iron brain weighs more than a ton, is built to operate indeânitely, and to with-
of stand any sort conditions,
In appearance the sentry of the storms will be a thoroughly un- romantic fellow-merely a wooden box about eight feet square, with a windmill and some antennae on top. Thut is only the skin of the iron man.

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 it 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 ou anything which might lower his own personal prestige as an officer, that of the Germau officer class, or that of the German Army.
More Human, But
I wonder if he is the same to- day?
His outward appearance hus, of course, changed. So I think to some extent bus his mental out- look.
He is more human, more ap proachable, more among his men, more at ease with them. He han learnt that, from the French:
He goes in inore for sport and tries, not always with success, to cultivate in himself and his troops sense of humour. He learnt that from us.
11
And he has learnt all about the new weapons of war-the tanks, the aeroplanes, the
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 inan 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 duly is as high as ever. He still firmly believes in himself, in the class to which. he belongs, in the army of which he is the chief, ornament.
And he still believes in Ger- many, too-though not necessarily In Nazian or in Hitler.
Ife is a formidable fellow, this, German officer of to-day.
One may respect him, though hardly ke him. He is a foe worth beating, and one whom it will take us a lot of trouble to beat,
But he can be. beuten--nnd he will be, as he has been before.
And all the more certainly be- Cause be now has weaknesses foreign to his forefathers.
CHIEFTAIN CATRIONA WINS 5-YEAR FIGHT
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, Maclean
