eEAcHEY,s MonoPLArE.

When Lincoln Peachey, the airman,
lost his life by a 3,000-foot plunge
into San Francisco bay few weeks
ago, he proved his theory that the
monop4ane of today is not the logical
machine for looping the loop and max
ing spectacular drops from the clouds.
His death resulted from the struc-
tural weakness of new craft Of this
type, which was too light and poorly
braced to withstand the stress of the
2,00e-foot perpendicular dive that he
attempted to make in it. One of the
wings crumpled while he was diving,
head down, at a speed probably three
miles minute In detailed discus
sion of the accident appearing, with
illustrations, in the May Popular Me-
chanics magazine, the following state
ments are made:
Exactly what happened will never
DE known, but there is one theory that
is quite plausible. Previously Beachey
had performed his feats while seated
on slender outrigging at the front
of his biplane, where no part of his
body was shielded from the air. Just
as the marine navigator learns to
measure the speed OF his vessel by
taking into account the effect OF a
heavy head of wind, SO did Beachey
grow to estimate his speed by the
force of the air against his body.
When be seated himself in the cock
pit Of the new monoplane. however.
covered his head with a tight fitting
hood and his eyes with goggles, this
also for the first time, he was pro-
tected from the air in way he never
before had been. Therefore. when he
started on his long. head-first dive,
after successfully looping the loop
and flying upside down, he probably
failed to realize that he was plunging
toward the earth at rate much
greater than was his custom. There
is no doubt about this point, for
monoplane meets less resistance
than does biplane and travels at a
greater speed. In a few seconds his
craft attained terrific momentum
and the stress was greater than it
was capable Of withstanding."

this afternoon to the Illinois legis1a.
lures waterways committee which is
solving the problem OF lake-to-the.
Mississippi canal. Some OF the big.
gest shippers in the middle west Dor.

keeps going until it gets there The

takes ten days by rail. The rail rate
IS 1920; the water rate So so for 1000
feet. BY water via the Panama canal.
1t takes freight from Seattle twenty
five days to reach New York; II
takes from forty.fve days to two
months by rail. The cost Is s11 per

wonders for the shippers. He said
his company would build at least nine
