The New Aeroplane

From 'The Aeroplane of Today by
 Waldemar Kaempfrert, in the Amer
 ican Review. of Reviews.
 The one unmistakable improvement which has been adopted is boat like body in which the aviator now sits. No longer does he perch on the lower wing of a biplane and watch the earth drift back between his legs The boat body was adopted not to spare his emo ticns or shield his body from the wind, but to enable the machine to blow on with the least possible disturbance of the air. Each plane each strut, each projection leaves a wake of it's own. A single wake. which marks the easy flowing together of air behind a single body, is better. The modem aeroplane approaches this ideal; the old ma chine raked the air like a harrow.
 That change in form we owe to the scientist and his laboratory. He meas ured the resisting effect of wires vii brating in the wind, of braces, or fuel tanks, of radiators, and of human legs and arms He found that the sum to- tai was enormous. The aeroplane builder has been compelled to abandon his cherished idea that to obtain speed as little surface and bulk as possible SilOulu Dc eXpOSeu. I1e IldS fledTueQ IIOUl the scientist that large correctly de- signed bulk, enclosing passengers, en- zines, steering wheels and tanks, slips through the air more easily than an laggregation of small irregular shapes, widely scattered.
 More tangible than these improve ments is the trebled and quadrupled power of the motor. That means not only speeds we'll over 100 miles an hour-vitally necessary 10 a military scout-but. paradoxically enough, safe ty Almost any weather can be braved with 150 horsepower.

Anniston, March 1S.-(Special.)-In addi- tion to the new rolling mill now being put in operation at the plant of the An niston Ordnance company, it is announced that the Kilby Car and Foundry company has commenced construction work on a new rolling mill, adjoining it's plant on Tenth street.

In 1913 his divorced wife was depoFt-

HONOLULUS Will
ENTERCREWSIN
REGATTA


Honolulu Yacht Club crews will row
in the regatta races September 10.
Early this week the club decided to
withdraw on account of lack of oars,
but there was much scurrying around
on the part of the members of the
Honolulus and the other boat clubs
and as a result enough oars have
been secured TO pull barge.
The Honolulu club ordered oars
from the coast some time ago, but
owing to the failure to receive them
decided to withdraw its entries.
Word has been received that the oars
will arrive early next week, and al
though greatly handicapped by the
lack of practise, the Honolulu crews
will enter every event on tho harbCr.
Members of the club are satisfied
that the crews will make a good
showing. despite the obstacles that
have been met.
