MAY Be FIRST TO
FLYACROSS OCEAN

Capt. Roy NJ. Francis. who last
week made an air fight from New
York to Washington in eighty min.
utes, thereby establishing a new
record for that route, may be the hrst
American to drop in on England.
II became known here today that
Captain Francis is now developing
a flying machine that, he hopes, will
keep the air for eighteen hours at q
speed OF from eighty to ninety miles
an hour.
This machine is now making actual
test flights, but not as yet for maxi.
mum distance.
Captain Francis considers flying
safer than driving an automobile, ana
expects to see the day when single
scatter airplanes will sell for $3.50
and two-man machines will not exceed
$500, inclusive Of the instruments
that make flying safe.
Has Many Records.
With nine years experience as an
air engineer and pilot, Captain Fran
els has many records to his credit.
He was a member Of General Kenly's
stan before the latter recently went
back to his former organization in
the artillery.
William Dinwiddie. in an article In
the April number OF Century MGgG-
zine. says Let's Drop in on Eng.
land" He urges Congress to "spur
our aviators into accomplishing the
first transatlantic flight before
Britain or some other rival can DO it."
while we Americans are good
sports" he says, "and quick to offer
enthusiastic acclaim to the prowess
and daring and skill of the other
fellow, of whatever nationality he
may be. somehow, most Of US would
feel chagrined even IL we did homage,
If some other nation should take the
glory of the first Affair trans
Atlantic voyage"
e. S. May he FirSt.
Mr. Dinwiddie predicts that should
Congress take action in the matter
America will get the first honor for
a trans-Atlantic flight, and that il
would become an accomplished fact
within three months.
The prevailing winds across the At
Iantic, Mr. Dinwiddie points out, are
from west to east This offers an
advantage in making the air trip
from America to England that
English airmen would not have.
There are certain modest United
States naval officers" he says, +who
have figured this out, and who are
now building large flying boats,
which, they think, with q favoring
wind, can make the trip by way Of
the AzoFes."

SOLDIER NVENTS
RADIATOR-BOILER

A new invention, called the ra-
diator-boiler. will be especially use
ful in farm houses. school houses.
summer cottages, suburban railway
stations, small dwellings in town or
city. and in large city flats where
each tenant has to supply his own
heat.
Strangely enough. this is one OF the
good things that has come from the
great war. It Is the invention Of =
soldier-engineer. The heating OF
barracks and hospitals where there
were no cellars was a problem, and
IL set him to thinking. The result
Is a hot-water system that can be
packed up and moved around almost
as easily as the family piano. From
the radlator-boiler runs the piping to
the radiators in other rooms-all
heated by the same fire!
Here are some OF things he prom
ises 1t will do:
Save fueI-only one hre Is needed.
and the 40 per cent OF heat that q
stove wastes in the stove pipe Is used
to heat the water.
Prevent fires-for the boiler 10
water-backed and It can stand on Z
wooden floor with perfect safety.
And the legs are cast solid and can
not be knocked out-the radiatOr-
boiler will not upset.
Lasting-it will not wear out, burn
out, warp like q stove, or be found
useless IL a building Is altered II
can be enlarged or made smaller with
ease.
Saves money-by saving fuel. saves
labor OF climbing up and down stairs
and feeding many fires, saves doctor
bills by keeping all rooms at an
equal temperature, and does not have
to be renewed in a year or two.
This invention marks another vic
tory for the great mass Of the people
over hard living conditions.

Industrial Board Now
Ready for Downward
Revision of All Prices
By JEAN KNOTT

With building and road construc.
tion throughout the couatry, total.
ing nearly $4,000. .ooo, 900, being hell
up by the prices, the first efforts OF
the new Industrial Board will be ia
establish lower price levels on steel
lumber, brick and cement so that this
work may be resumed.
The first direct step OF the board
to lower prices will be undertaken
tomorrow, when Representatives OF
all the leading steel manufacturers
headed by Judge z. n. Gary and
Charles N. SchWab, will come to
washington for a conference with the
board They have promised the full
est cooperation and are expected to
submit lower price schedules on all
steel and iron products. If investi-
Sation by the board shows these to
be satisfactory, the schedules viii be
recommended to the public as the
ones at which the products should be
bought. The plan will be to estab-
lish schedules that will stand for
some time so that builders will feel
confident in making contracts.
No DeanIte Date Set.
In like manner the prices on Ium-
Der, brick and cement will be taken
up with the headers of the various
Industries in the order named. DOa.
mite dates for these conferences have
not been set, but they will follow
immediately after the one with the
steel men.
The whole work on these four lines
should be accomplished in two or
three weeks, Chairman Peek today
stated. After that, with confidence
established in the scale Of prices,
members Of the board look for one
Of the greatest building booms in iho
history OF the nation.
Private building has been held up fer
two years, and the greatest public
building and road program ever be-
fore the country is waiting to see IL
prices will drop, members of the
board state. Peek is confident the
whole program will get under way
when prices are lowered, and the
builders are assured the prices decided
will stand until the law OF supply and
demand again becomes operative.

So far IL has not been dSfinitsIy
determined what steps the board will

depends, Chairman Peek Eaid today, on
what action along this line will be

Conferences on the question will soon
be held between the beard and these
two departments.
"The whole food question depends
largely on just how the Government

expected to drop much" But just as
in other lines, some food prices have

with others, and IL Is hoped that FAR
