Simple Explanation.

Why is it that fishes make no dis
turbance when swimming through the
water, although there is a rushing
noise when a stone is flung in? This
is explained by the fact that, in the
latter case, 1t is the filling of the cav
ity that Is made. rather than the mere
impact, which causes the noise, where
as the body of the fish is so shaped
that when 1t moves through the water
it leaves 10 such cavity behind 1t and
therefore there is no disturbance.

"Nothng-AH in Days York." Remarks Sryker, Reporter
and Grail, Photographer After T,oo Record-Breaking
Assignments in Fe,o Hours

"It's nothing-just part Of a days
work"
With those casual words Captain
Wallace Stryker, EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER flying reporter, and Walter
Grail, the flying photographer, today
dismissed their experiences on Saturday
In covering" from the air the two
biggest news events Of the day.
Within little more than three hours
the aerial news gatherers had visited
Elkton, Nd. where suspect in the
murder of Elmer G. Drewes, the Dart
mouth student, was about to be taken
to Philadelphia for attempted identifi-
cation, and had electrified the specta-
tors inside the huge bowl" at Prince
ton, where the Princeton Navy football
game was being played.
Half Hour to Ell,ton
Convincing proof of the superiority of
news gathering by airplane was fur
nished by the fight to Elkton and re
turn. The EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
plane was back, and a photograph of
the suspect was in the EVENING
PUBLIC LEDGER Office nearly an hour
before Detective Dickerson arrived with
his man at City Hall.
Captain Strykcr and the staff pho
tographcr packed big days work into
q few hours. They left the flying field
at Seventy first street and Island road
at IL o'clock. and half an hour later
were at Elkton. Passengers in n Bal
timore and Washington express train
were thrilled by Captain Stryker S
stunts" as he few low to get his
bearings in the fog and mist.
Police Are Aided
The plane landed mile from the Elk
ton Jail some time was lost in reaching
1t and there was more delay in the wait
for the prisoner suspected of being Will
liam =. Brines, wanted for the murder
of Elmer G. DreweS. But at Il 80 the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER man got Mis-

picture and at :05 the pair were in
Philadelphia.
A rush to the newspaper Office and a
photograph Of the Elkton suspect was
printed and in the hands of Major
Wynne nearly an hour before Detective
Dickerson arrived with the suspect. L he
picture showed convincingly the pris-
oner was not Brines.
After a hasty lunch the aviator re-
porter and his photographer companion
were off again, this time for Princeton.
Picture making over Palmer Stadium
there was rendered impossibleeby the
heavy fog and so Captain Strykcr did
the next best thing and entertained the
football crowd with stunts. On the re-
turn trip the plane flew over Franklin
Field and there were more stunts for
the crowd just leaving after the Penn
Virginia Military Institute game.
, Altogether the Evening PUBLIC
LEDGER plane was in the air two hours
and thirty five minutes.
