SEEK SAFETY IN LANDING
High Speed Airpianes Have Drawback
That Engineers Are Now
Trying to Overcome.

At the present writing there is no
evidence Of any plane that has ex-
ceeded $50 miles in steady flight, and
these are only the lightest and most
dangerous types. with landing speeds
Of from 10 TO 90 miles an hour. Few.
II any. have been equipped with en-
gines exceeding 1G0 horsepower.
There is no inherent reason why this
horsepower cannot be approximately
doubled, Carl Snyder writes in Col
Her's. This would he sufficient to
drive a strongly constructed reliable
triplane, carrying perhaps two paSsen-
gers. at from 20 10 80 miles an hour
faster than any airplane has vet flown.
such a machine IS actually under con-
suuCtion in this country; and as the
Germans have been steadily a little
ahead of the allies. 50 far as their ma
chimes are coh1erned. there is little
reason 70 doubt that similar expert
ments are under way in Germany.
If some retarding device can be
found which will lower the landing
speed to & reasonably safe point these
machines will outclass anything that
has so far been built.
AS far as the design Of these engines
IS concerned. they differ in no import
ant particular. except their weight
from the finer type of motor car mo-
tors. A fine aero engine is simply an
astOnishingly clever piece of mechan
Zeal construction. 1t is very nearly
handmade from end to end.

The success of the second Liberty
loan is a source Of immense gratifiea-
ton to the government and to the en-
tire nation. During the last week sub
scrlpdons came in with a rush. under
the urging Of thousands of patriotic
workers, and even the Philippines.
Panama and Cuba responded nobly.
Wednesday, by national and state proc
lamation. was celebrated everywhere
as Liberty day. Great parades were
held In every city and smaller ones in
every town and village. and in the
army training camps the boys carried
out special programs and handed IN
their dollars for the cause of freedom.
In some places the people dealt ip
their own way with certain pro-Ger-

ing was done to Mayor Bill Thompson
Of Chicago. who took no part what
ever in the city's demonstration. His
recent half-hearted conversion TO open
patriotism seems to have suffered re-
lapse.

Halfway Work.

We are, none of us. so good archi-
tects as to be able to work habitually
beneath our strength; and yet there
Is not a building that l know of, late
ly raised, wherein it is not sufficiently
evident that neither architect nor
builder has done his best. 1t Is the
especial characteristic of modern
work. All old work nearly has been
hard work. It may be the hard work
of children, of barbarians, of rustics;
but it is always their utmost. Let US
have done with this kind of work at
once; cast off every temptation to 1t:
do not let us degrade ourselves volun-
tarily, and then mutter and mourn
over our shortcomings; let us confess
our poverty or our parsimony, but not
belle our human intellect. 1t is not
question Of doing more, but of doing
better. Do not let us boss our roofs
with wretched, half-worked, blunt
edged rOsettes; do not let us flank our
gates with rigid limitations of medieval
statuary. Such things are more in
suits to common sense, and only unfit
us for feeling the nobility of their pro-
otypeS.-Ruskin.
