of glass, so that they might be free
from the strain so likely to destroy
them. Experiments by scientists Of
the geophysical laboratory showed ex-
actly how slowly their temperatures
must be lowered, and the cooling
schedule outlined was closely fol-
lowed. Owing. however, to the ex-l
IRENE cold weather of last March and
the shortage of gas, this schedule could
not be followed. One splendid disk
strained and broke just when nearly
ready to be taken from the oven.
Equipment hitherto used was then
strapped and an electric furnace was
specially designed to meet the needs Of
the problem by experts of an electric
company. This device is thoroughly
insulated and provided with an auto
matte appliance which will hold the
temperature absolutely constant to a
fraction Of degree while the glass Is
being treated to remove strain. The
temperature can be dropped few de-
grees a week.
With the aid of this furnace now in
process of construction 1t Is believed
that the last difficulty In the way Of
the American manufacture of the
largest disks will be overcome. Or
ders have already been accepted for
the production Of several large guar
anteed disks. including one pair Of the
1S-inch size for refracting telescopes,
and 36-inch disk for a rejecting tel
escope. The furnace will receive the
40-inch size. When that goal has been
reached, the company will continue
the development, so that eventually
the largest and finest disks In the
world will be American made.

has been said that the flying, landing

cut down its speed by as much as
twenty-five miles an hour.
Wings Survive Side slip.
The wings of the JL-6 are so rigid
that only a head on crash will injure
them. One plane that side slipped to
the earth was Immediately righted
and flown away after new propeller
had been put on. Not even the fuse
lage to which the metal panels are
attached was injured. Eighty-flve
men have stood upon the forty-seven

effects.
The body Of the plane contains
luxuriously furnished compartment
that will seat In upholstered chairs
six people. Two pilots may be seated
In the control compartment The mo-
tive power Is furnished by 100 horse
power Mercedes engine. 1t requires
five gallons Of gasoline to fly 100
miles. Present aeronautical motors
require from ten to fifteen gallons for
that distance. The motor ID almost
silent, compared to the deafening roar
of the Liberty. A conversation can be
carried on In the cabin with the motor
wide open.
According to Mr.. Larsen, the JIG
represents the greatest step forward
in flying In all time. He has pur-
chased all American rights from the
Junker company of Germany. which
first perfected the all metal plane. 1t
was from an all metal battle plane
that the boche shot down Maj. Raoul
Lufberry In the most heroic air battle
of the war. DIR. Hugo Junker, German
engineer. is the original designer of
the all metal ship.

New York.-Large telescope disks

All mechanical difficulties have been
overcome, according TO an announce
ment made by Dr. George w. Morey,
member of the American Chemical
society.
This remarkable achievement Is due
to preparation and handling of the in
gradients required for pure and flaw

Catching Up With Germany.

United States entered the war the

equipped with lenses fashioned be-
yond the Rhine. Private citizens even
loaned or contributed opera glasses
and binoculars to the fighting forces.

Berlin.--There is reluctance on
the part of some German farmers to
surrender their firearms, due to "the
legitimate desire to protect their
homes against marauders." Minister
Of Agriculture Braun said to a Tage-

He added, however, that number
of farmers have been storing arms
deliberately for subversive purposes"
but he said that these were not as
numerous as generally believed,
IF the people only will keep their

believe there will be any organized
outbreak in the near future. The
rural situation at this time inspires

All Metal Plane Will Revolutionize

BIG ADVANCE IN SCIENCE
FraiI Spruce and Linen Ship That Did
Its Bit in War and Has Been Used
in Commerce Will Be Displaced
by All Metal Type.

New York.-The presence In Amer
lea of John NJ. Larsen's JIG all metal
monoplane will completely revolution
nze aircraft design and construction,
according to statements made here by
leading airplane manufacturers.
The frail spruce and linen ship that
did its bit In the war and that has
} been used successfully, though pre-
cariously, In commerce will soon be
displaced by the sturdy all metal type
brought out after the war by the
Germans, almost every aeronautical
expert who has witnessed the per
Torrance of the JL~6 agrees. One
American manufacturing company has
already announced its intention OF
disseminating operations.

There is little comparison between
the JIG and the old type plane.
The only type Of airplane that was
successful prior to the JL~6's appear
ance was the wood and linen biplane.
The wing beams, the long fuselage,
the engine bearers, the struts, the
under-carriage were made Of either
spruce or ash and the wings were
covered with Irish linen. The fuse
lage between the wings gave support
to the panels. 1t was strong ship
only a cyclone or crash could warp
the wings around the fuselage.

PERATORS SAY
MINE RS WAGES
ARE EQUITABLE

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WiRGl
New York, March 16.-The earn
ings of labor in the anthracite coal
fields, and the demand of the min
ers for wage increase were dis
cussed today by the subcommittee
of miners and operators meeting
here to negotiate new wage agree
ments for the hard coal workers
No action was taken.
The operators declared that the
pay now received by the miners
is equitable" and that advances
granted the workers since 1915
have more than kept pace with the
high cost of living.
Although the conference was
executive, it was learned that the
operators produced a volume of
income tax reports, showing that
the workers have been making IA
living wage"
Representatives of the operators
tonight in discussing workers de-
mands declared that any wage in
crease granted will have to be
borne by the public. A thirty per
cent advance iH wages and a seven
hour day, they asserted, will mean
an increase in the price of hard
coal of at least 50 a ton.

The former speaker declared in a

Il have never believed a man has

whole situation" he said.
This is particularly true as to
the Missouri senatorship by reason
of the large number Of people who

ing that ! should become a Candi-

Il have considered from every
standpoint,
"As II result, | have concluded
