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 as 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 frat private of the robot army is being built, according to 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 Anucostin, 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 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 constructed by Dr Harry Diamond and his asso- ciates at the U. S. Bureau of Stan dards in co-operation with navy officers. The things he does now are only an indication of what he may be able to do as he grows up in the service, navy officers say. One of the jobs already forecast, fór him is to drift about in the Atlan- fle, keeping ships, land stations and weather planes Informed of the ahead.
The robot was first proposed by Dr. Willla Gregg, Into chlot of the
U..S. Weather Bureau, at a meat "ting of this"Amorfent Antoelation"

The idea of 'robot weather ob- servers, according to Dr Diamond, originated in Russia about 10 years ago. The Russian device crude, but quickly became the hands of the practical in Bureau of Standards physicists.

Into service again. The robot being put into service by the navy is a direct develop- ment
from the radiosond, But whereas the former welghed 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- romantic fellow-merely a wooden box about eight feet square, with a windmill and some antennao on top. That is only the skin of the iron man.
The German Officer

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 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 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. So I think to some extent has his mental out- Jook.
He is more human, inore ap proachable, more among his men, more at ease with them. He has learnt that from the French,
He goes in more for sport and tries, not always with success, lo cultivate in himself and his troops sense of humour. He learnt that from us,

arms,
Hns he lost his sense of religion?
I fancy so, and I think he is the worse mon 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 as ever 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 Nazism or in Hitler.
He is a formidable fellow, this German officer of to-dny.
One may respect him, though hardly like him. He is u foc worth beating, and one whom it will take us a lot of trouble to beat.
But he can be beaten-and lie will be as he has been before.
And all the more certainly be- cause he 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, Macican
a cousin of the late Ard- gour twice removed, who clained that as heir-male, he was head of the family of Ardgour.
In the Lyon Court, the Lord Lyon King of Arms had disallowed his claim in favour of Catriona, and the Second Division of the Court of Session of
