TEAR ALUMINIUM Sheath
FROM HULL OF SPEEDDOAT

An experiment to try to increase
the speed of General T. c. duPont's
hydroplane, Tech, Jr., was made the
past week, but was far from success
full.
The Tech has showed a speed Of
more than forty miles an hour on
many occasions. and it was thought
that this speed might be increased if
the bottom Of the boat were sheathed
with aluminium. The hull or planning
portion of it was sheathed with the
light, smooth metal, fastened 70 the
wood with screws. the heads OF which
were covered with solder.
When the Tech was taken out for a
spin. the failure of the plan became
apparent when high speed was at
tanned. The vibration of the powerful
engine and the force of the contact
of the boat hull against the river
|, worked loose the sheets of aluminium
and in a short time they were twisted
from the hull Another method OF
fastening the sheathing may be de-
vised in the way of experiment

thinks School board
should MEET IN School

In speaking Of the attitude of the
Board of Trade towards the Senior
class and their reception, citizen
today recalled that when the High
School was built it was said that
rooms would be provided in the
building for the Board of Education
and its secretary. Since the school
building has been in use. however,
the secretary of the Board has not
moved into the quarters, nor has the
board met in the school building.
The secretary's Office remains in
the city building in East Sixth street.
In referring to this a city official said
that as result of the board using
the Sixth street building the police
department is compelled to lease a
room for locker purposes in a nearby
building for $500 a year. II the
Board Of Education would meet in the
High school. the citizen said. the city
could save the money now spent foI
locker rooms for the police depart
ment.
