England's great coal strike, now
on, is not hard to grasp in outline if
we bear in mind tht the English coal
magnates and government have been
up to the same monkey business as
ours here. Famine prices, rcstric-
ton Of production. low wages, gov
is delay, lying promises are familiar
Now if we can imagine the English
miners deciding that they have stood
all this sort Of thing they are going
to stand, we have the fundamentals

a;o CARGO Plane Carriers.

Tramp ships of the air, huge, slow
moving planes that would be able to
make q success Of handling freight
wherever a cargo may $be picked UP,
have remained so far only some
day possibility. because of certain
principles fundamental to the science
of transportation itself. CHIEF OF
these is the fact that the ost-of load
carrying increases in enormous ratio
to the speed of the carrier.
A new and very remarkable wing
form, which will enable the plane TO
fly slowly, is the nucleus around
which British manufacturer is
about to construct mammoth mono
plane, whose whole design attacks the
load carrying problem in quite an I'M
usual manner. The span OF this giant
machine is to be Jag feet, it's length
81 feet, and it's height % feet. The
wings are Of the cantilever type. con-
structed of mahogany planlting, as is
the fuselage also. and without bracing
or supports. The most striking fea-
ture of the big wings is their bird
the early efforts.
A peCullarlty OF the WING, 50 COIL
structed, is that the usual aileron
control has no effect upon it. 1t be-
came necessary. therefore. to devise a
new system Of lateral control, which
consists of hinged section in the
center of each wings leading edge.
Operating one of these flaps increases
the resistance and decreases the lift
on that side, with the result that the
moving Of a single lever turns the
machine and banks it correctly at the
same time, without using the rudder.
It was found also that the slip stream
from a tractor propeller, flowing over
the wings, destroyed their lifting
power. and the new cargo plane will
have its two pnsher screws mounted
at the sides of the fuselage. back Of
the wings.
Cruising rate Of only II miles an
hour is made possible for the big
freighter. Two $50 h. p. engines will
be used to drive the propellers, and
with them 1t will climb AS feet

Mystery in Old Shrine.

One OF the pretty shrines of Japan
is based on the story of beautiful
girl, and to this day Occidentals can
not figure out if the shrine was to
perpetuate tragedy or an honor.
The story is that Yamatodake, one
Of the greatest warriors in the history
OF the country, halted for a night at
the village of Shimodaira He was
weary of battle and strife, and sent
out word to the village that he
wished to be entertained by the pref
test girl there.
Kemachlya was selected, and it is
told how she spent the evening sing
Ing and dancing for the warrior. He
went on his masterful way the next
morning, leaving the little maiden to
mourn his passing, and to give birth
to his child in due time.
Now the child died, as did it's
mother, and the village erected the
shrine, and every few years it is re-
built and made more beautiful.
But what no Occidental can dis
cover is whether the shrine was built
to remind the citizens of the mill
tarism of the old days that trod with
relentless heels on beggar and
wealthy alike, and thus to pay tribute
to a tragedy, or whether it was built
to show that the humble warrior
honored the humble village by taking
one Of it's membership to his arms.
