Flying's Great Problem
Is Successfully Solved
Radio Beam Will Insure
Safety in Bad Weather.
Chicago. ? The dream of radio and
aeronautical engineers that the day
would come when it would be prac
tical to land giant airliners filled
with passengers down an invisible
radio beam which would penetrate
fog, snow, rain, or other bad weath
er has at last been realized. Radio
communications engineers of the
country's four largest airlines, at a
meeting here, agreed that the sci
ences of radio and flying have ad
vanced to the place where so-called
blind landings now are practical.
They WTOte a specification for a
standard instrument landing sys
tem which ultimately will be in
stalled in key airports throughout
the United States.
The engineers have had an instru
ment landing system such as they
described in their specifications in
actual operation for more than two
years at Oakland, Calif. More than
2,000 landings by thirty or more
pilots have proved it is sound.
Bow It Works.
This is how it works: A pilot fly

merce radio range beacons arrives
at a field which has the needed
special equipment for the instru
ment landings. He tunes the special
receiving sets in his ship to the ultra,
high frequencies of the "direction
al" landing beam.
Then he lets down through the
clouds until his altimeter shows his
altitude is 2,000 feet. Once there he
aligns himself on the directional
landing beam and flies along level
until he passes through an outer
marker beacon ? a vertical radio
ray? at a pqint five miles from the
edge of the airport at which he is
aiming.
There an electrometer dial on his
switchboard is switched into opera
tion. This instrument is connected
with his two receiving sets and it
has two needles which show a pilot
his relation to the radio directional
beam and to a curved landing beam
sent out from a station on the air
port. The needles show when he is
above or below the curved beam or
to the right or left of the directional
beam.
Ride Down on Beam.
Once in the proper position, the
airman engages his automatic pilot
(operated by gyroscopes) and then
lets go the controls so that the sen
sitive mechanical instrument is fly
ing the ship. The human pilot mere
ly sits back watching the needles
-and making slight adjustments of
the automatic pilot as need arises.
All this time, of course, the air
plane is descending at a speed of
approximately 90 miles an hour.
Wien the ship arrives almost at the
field it passes through a zone of sig
nals emitted from a second and in
ner radio marker beacon.
The pilot simply sits back in his
seat and lets the airplane follow the
glide beam which flattens out over
the field until the wheels touch the
runway. Then he closes the throt
tles and applies his brakes.

COMMON
THINGS
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
It is true that the world is full of
beautiful things, and we should all
be as happy as
kings. But so
many of the
beautiful things
are commonplace
that we fail to
see them. Only
the discerning
eye can see ser
mons in stones
and good in ev
erything. Tenny
son had a flower
garden at the
rear of his home.
It was doubtless
in the crack in
the wall which encircled this gar
den that the poet saw a little flower
growing. The little flower that in
spired these lines:
"Flower in the crannied wall.
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all , . .
If I could understand what you are
I should know what God and man ts."
How true it is. We have eyes to
see, but see not; ears to hear, but
hear not. To be able to see deeply
enough to interpret the beautiful
and the mysterious is a boon de
voutly to be wished. It is not im
possible to cultivate the capacity to
see power and beauty in common
things. Flaubert, the French novel

ist, who was also a master of natur
alism, said: "Look at a tree until it
appears to you just as it appears
to everyone else; then look at it un
til you see what no man has ever
seen before." It is this ability to
see beyond ordinary sight, this ca
pacity plus ? which sees something
more ? that explains the depths and
heights of character and the
strength of personality. "Genius is
nothing else than the power of see
ing wonders in common things."
Most of the inventions which in
crease the comfort of living are the
results of someone seeing beyond
the common known into the great
unknown, and discovering new
forces.
All our so-called possessions of
luxury such as the radio, automo

owe their origin to the power of see
ing resources hidden in common
things.
' Lincoln said: "God must have
loved the common people because
he made so many of them." It is
to the experience of our common
human lot that we must come for an
adequate appreciation of life values,
ft is by keeping our ears close to
the heart tt the great human strug
gle that we come to understand life
and the value of patience, fortitude,
faith and courage. We become very
humble when we realize how few
cardinal graces of character we
possess in comparison to the graces

alert to the need of human perfec

the story of the common human lot
as a mighty balance of power.

* used to set two extra places
at the table tof every meal ? for
guests who might drop in," said a
once famous hostess we met at a
tea party the other day. "And that's
the one thing that troubles me
about this modern way of house
keeping in such tiny quarters. How
could a young homemaker set two
extra places in some of these little
dinettes?"
We felt like reminding that gra
cious lady that she had five serv
ants as well as those two extra
places at the table. Not everybody
had so much help, even in her hey
day, and so the little homes of
today, tailored to actual needs rath
er than lavish hospitality, look pret
ty good to the person who has to
do the work without any help. But
they can have their own brand of
charm and attractiveness if they're
carefully furnished and carefully
kept.
Take the dinette one reader wrote
us about "It's part of a three-room
apartment we're living in now, but
whatever we get for it will later
be used in a Cape Cod house we
plan on building. The dinette is
the main problem? it has wide
plank floors, knotty pine walls and
a corner cabinet. I'm puzzled about
what rug, curtains and furniture
to get for it. What would you sug
gest?"
Of course maple would be the
most obvious thing and certainly a
very nice solution. The problem is
probably a table that will do now
in a small dinette yet be suitable
later in a full sized dining room.
You wouldn't absolutely have to
have a rug in this room . . . the
wide plank floors could be kept
waxed and would be pleasantly in
the mood of the room. But if you'd
prefer a rug, a plain blue or twist
weave with a red wool fringe all
around would be very nice.

GOD REQUIRES SOCIAL
JUSTICE.

GOLDEN TEXT? As ye would that men
should do to you. do ye also to them
likewise. Luke 6:31.
PRIMARY TOPIC? At Harvest Time.
JUNIOR TOPIC? At Harvest Time.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
?My Resonsiblllty for Social Justice.
Labor Day ? in this year of our
Lord 1937 ? looks out upon a world
deeply divided in opinions of what
is right and what is wrong in the
relationship between capital and la
bor. Political and economic leaders
are talking much of social justice,
of a planned economy in which all
shall have a full share of the prod
ucts of labor. Surely, we would all
agree that there should be only
kindness and justice in all such
dealings of man with man. But how
to accomplish that result in a world
of selfishness and sin, that indeed
is the question.
Unfortunately, many of those in
the church who have greatly
stressed social relationships have
forgotten that the true foundation
for such teaching and living is thq,
preaching of the gospel of re
demption. In reaction to their im
possible position, others who have
faithfully preached the necessity of
regeneration have forgotten to
stress the need of the expression of
regenerated life in the social rela
tionships of man. We need God
given balance, with a proper re
flection of gospel truth in honest and
helpful living. God wants his peo
ple to show that they belong to him
by
i. xruviuuig lur uic four auu
Needy (vv. 9, 10, 14, 15).
When Jesus said, "Ye have the
poor always with you" (Matt.
26:11), he referred to one of the
responsibilities which thoughtful and
considerate men have always glad
_ ly borna, but which has been a con
stant problem to bote individuals
and nations. We have dealt with it
in our day on a broad and supposed
ly scientific basis, but those who
are closest to it are quick to admit
that we have even now an imperfect
solution. In the days of Israel the
poor were fed by the purposeful
leaving of gleanings in the field ?
which the needy were free to gather
as their own. Thus they had the joy
of helping themselves even as they
were being helped by others, and,
in the final analysis, by God him
self.
II. Guarding Another's Reputation
(w. 16-18).
Gossip is a destructive means of
breaking down the good standing
of another. It is a sin all too com
mon in our day, even within the
circle of God's own people. Tale
bearing and evil-speaking are a
blight on our social and religious
life. We should put them away.
Akin to this common and awful
sin is the bearing of grudges and
the seeking for revenge, neither of
which serves any good purpose.
in. Honoring the Aged (v. 32).
Old - age pensions undoubtedly
have their place in ouf complicated
social life, but it is evident that
they would be entirely unnecessary
if men and women had in the fear
of God honored "the hoary head"
and "the face of the old man," even
as God gave command to Israel.
IV. Loving the Stranger (vv. 33,
ui
?*-*/ .
The man who knows what it is
to have been a stranger, and to
meet with love and protecting care,
should never forget to go and do
likewise. Living, as many of us
do, in great cities makes this some
what of a problem, and yet one
sometimes wonders whether the j
bustling city is not often kinder to j
the stranger than the little com
munity, which makes him feel
like an "outsider."
V. Being Honest in Business (w.
11-13, 35, 36).
No stealing, no false swearing, no
defrauding, no withholding of wages,
for all these things dishonor or "pro
fane the name of thy God."
A good motto to hang up behind
the counter or over the desk in a
business house is found in the words
of verses 35 and 36. False bottoms,
trick scales, short measure ? oh,
yes, they are against the city ordi
nance, and you will be fined if you
are caught. But remember, they
are also an abomination in the sight
of the Lord.
The closing verse of our lesson
reiterates that important truth. In
carrying out the tenets of social
justice we are not simply being
humane and kind. We are observ
ing the statutes and ordinances of
the Eternal One, him who says, "I
am Jehovah."
Being One in Faith
It is good to know that in what
ever country we are found, and
under whatever sky, we are,
through faith in the divine Saviour,
members in the same body, sheep
in the same fold, children of one
home.
