? . Today and Tomorrow By FRANK P. STOCIvBKIDGE Risks The first reaction of. everyone who reads about the accident to the submarine "Nautilus" which disabled it; while it was cruising <?n the subface i from America to England, was howl fortunate it was that this did noti occur while the ship was under the] a i ^ [ j ^ i e4 * Perhaps Sir Hubert Wilkin? and! his crew are not proposing to take! any more serious risks than did many J of the pioneer aviators. In the case "i flying i; was fairly easy for any ?ne, however, to recognize the value of these early experiments if they should prove successful. It is diffi-j cult to see any possible advantage to humanity, or importance to science. in the effort to reach the North r>. ^ - u.. ~ i - - - a. vh; "> a suuiiimnit' uuai. U looks, to an impartial observer, as if human life were being risked merely t? provide thrills. )Mt as aj circus performer provides them. j ? Radiodynamics That is the word coined by John Hays Hammond Jr., and now accepted by the patent office and Goneness, i?. mean the control of energy as a distance by means of radio. Hammond began to experiment with radiodynamics when he was a student in Yale in 1003. He invented a method of controlling a boat on the surface of the water and a tor-j ped 0 under the- surf a re by radio impulses, as well as steering an air-! plane over a long course without aj pilot on board. This is something quite different from transmitting power by radio. Only enough power can be transmitted to set a piece of machinery in motion or stop it. The machinery must have its own independent power plant. The day may come when actual power can he sent through the air. hur that i- a long way in the future. Sffl - H C57T SSEEESEk 1 i bports Interest in collegiate football isj. declining, the Carnegie Foundation] for the Advancement of Teaching |1 reports, ; There is a very decided difference! between sports participated in by stu-' dents for the benefit of the students] themselves. for the maintenance of] I ho? r health and the upbuilding of, their morale, and sports undertaken; as a means of advertising particular<] colleges or of, making moivjy, |: Nobody is suggesting that all in-J tercollegiate sporting contests should : be abolished, but it is certainly true that public interest in them is do- ; dining, or.d it is probable that they will play a less important part in cortege life in the future than in tlie: t !; Rockets [ Prpfessor Robert II. Goddard, of j Clark University, who has been expe-i( rimenting with and talking about' propelling aircraft by meaps of roe-j kets, has taken out, patents cn a roe-i ket-pfopelled airplane. The plane exjicciea io vise ivom the ground Itke i any other plane, its propellers heing^ turned by a turbine engine, for which the gas from a succession of rockets' will furnish the power. When it gets;, into the rat ified upper atmosphere I . the engine will be cut off and the; | propulsive force will be that of the I -J rockets themselves. Professor Goddard is ne idle vis; ioriary. Just what he has got in his desert laboratory in New Mexico he is not telling the world as yet. but if anyone in this country is going to succeed in flying by means of rockets Professor Goddard wuj probably be ' the first. Pigeons A blue homing pigeon flew 503 1-2 i ^ miles from Salisbury, N. C., to New York City in 13 hours, II minutes 1 and 51 seconds the other day. This was not quite a record for the 500 , mile annual pigeon race, but it comes . very close to it. A large part of a homing pigeon's time in flying long distances, how- I ver, is taken up in the bird's quest-: ing, or circling ut high altitudes to!, find landmarks to guide it back to! its home loft. There is no longer |' any great mystery about how the; homing pigeon finds its way back to j its home nest, The bird has no mysterious sixth sense or horning instinct. It cannot rind its way home at night or in a dense fog or condition's of low visibility. I.ike almost all birds, however, it has telescopic Dowers of vis ion beyond anything which human beings can easily imagine, according io Dr. Casey Wood, famous oculist, ' 1 \t-< ?(^??PUCI<D< PINKY -s , ? ?* 8 VFEtlAH WI [ YA can sl DINKY By vf' ' TERRY G1LKISON A\ *? : ;Ws * * m. ir t?

The homing: pigeon memorizes, landmarks near its home loft, and, as it is given long-, or and longer trial flights, it learn? the lay of the land at greater distances, until it knows the country so well that, when liberated withir. 500 miles from home on a clear day. jt can see some remembered landmaikiin the direction of its home. -> NOTICE OF LAND SALE FOR TAXES i v The undersign?!, by order of the o Tbvfn Commissioners, will offer for j sale at auction Monday, August 3rd. >q lf>31, the following described real!J estate for Town of Blowing Rorkj0 taxes for the year 1930: |c A. 3.
