Austrian Helicopter
That Shows Signs of
Being a Success

Washington, June IA helicopter
that in tests has already risen more
than $50 feet vertically from the
ground has been developed in Aus,
trial. according to reports from Eu-
ropean Correspondent of the National
Advisory Board for Aeronautics. In
view of the experiments now being
conducted by aviators in many coun-
tries, particularly the United States.
France and Great Britain. in an eff
fort to design and construct a sue
cessful helicopter the news is con-
sidered of great Importance by fy-
ing men here.
According to the reports, the Aus
trian helicopter consists of a three
armed frame built of steel tubes,
equipped with three built-in gasoline
motors of the LIE Rhone type, each de-
veloping 100 horsepower. The mot
ors drive two propeller shafts revolv-
ing in opposite directions and the
shafts in turn drive two propellers ar
ranged one above the other on a cen
trail shaft, each nearly 90 feet in di-
ameter. The propellers are attached
to the upper plane of the helicopter
and revolve in opposite directions at
about GOO revolutions a minute. In
, the center or hub" of the device
above the propellers, is the opera ting
compartment which is also fitted with
machine gun and a place for the
gunner
In the tests so far conducted with
the Austrian helicopter, according to
| the reports, the machine has been
kept captive by means of cables, al
lowing it to be hauled back to the
| earth at the conclusion of fight by
means of a winch. During one such
| test, the reports assert, the helicop
ter rose to a low altitude and re-
manned in the air an hour. In an
other test the machine assembled
about 100 feet, carrying a load equiv
alent to four men, and remained per-
fectly tranquil in a high wind
The device is equipped with a par
achute so arranged as to open auto
ma tically in the event of an abrupt
descent, the reports say, adding that
, tho parachute will so ease the fall as
to prevent injury to the helicopter.

Care Tuberculous
Ex-Service Men
Discussed at N. Y..

New York, June 16.-Condttions In
the government hospitals for the care
or tubercuious soldiers, sailors. ma
rines and nurses were both commend
s ed and criticized in today's session OF
the annual meeting Of the. National
Tuberculosis Association here. The
comments. both favorable and other
wise, were made in a report present.
&c by two OF the five physicians Sc
lected by the surgeon-general OF the
United states Public Health Service
to visit and inspect the hospitals for
tuberculous service men.
1t is drawn up by DR.. George T.
Palmer, of Springfield. ILL.,. and DR..
Henry W. Hoagland. Of La Jolla, Cal
The physicians reported that they
were surprised to find that the insti-
buttons were so efficiently conducted
in the face Of difficulties and obstacles
that had to be overcome. They COM
mended the attitude of the surgeon
general in seeking to improve the ser
vice and readiness to act upon con.
structive criticism.
The chief criticisms 'pf the govern
ment hospitals made by the two ply
slcians were:
Shortage of medical personnel, es-
pecially trained in the diagnosis and
treatment of tuberculosis.
Shortage of specially trained
nurses and the lowering of the morale
through the social relationship of
nurses and other female employees
with patients.
Lack of discipline indicated in the
prevalence of gambling. the use of to-
! bacco, the abuse of leaves and fur
loughs and the participation of pa
tients in harmful diversions and
amusements.
1.-THE assignment of the more COM
petent members of the medical staff
to wards for terminal and advanced
patients with less efficient medical
service in the wards occupied by the
doubtful cases and by patients await
! ing discharge"
The physicians pointed out that
there was great difficulty in recruit
ing medical staffs for tuberculosis
sanatoria because of the neglect of
tuberculosis by medical schools in the
past and because of the greatly in
creased demand for physicians with
tuberculosis training.
On the whole the physicians stated
} that they believed that the United
States Public Health Service was en-
titled to general COMMUNICATION for
the degree of efficiency attained under
| the conditions prevailing in the es-
| tablishment Of these institutions.
During the next 20 years" the ply
| sicians stated, but two great medical
problems will remain as the aftermath
| of the war. One of these that of
dealing with mental and nervous cases
, and the other is the tuberculous
problem"
! They asserted that the peak of the
| incidence of tuberc ulosis resulting
/ from the war has not been reached
nor will it be for a number Of years
to come.
| They predicted that if the federal
government met the problem of the
tubercufous soldier efficiently and at
| the same time utilized its opportun.-
, ties for the benefit of the civil popu-
lation there would come. as an indi-
rect result of the war, an awakening

NUMEROUS STUNTS IN
 HARLAN SOCIETY SHOW

Although the entertainment Mon- day night at the Grand theatre by the Harlan literary society of Hendrix College has been advertised as a min. strel, in reality the minstrel will oc- cupy only the first half of the two. part program, it was said today. The second part will be composed of com- edy acts, novelty stunts and classy singing, including a 25-minute comedy skit by 10 blackface comedians.
 One of the best stunts for this part of the program will be the acrobatic stunts by one Harold Little Red'' Bryant. Young Bryant has natural talent for acting-his uncle is in the show business-and they say he's an acrobat of quality. And, it's all on the square, no secret wires, ct cetera.
 Other features will include a cho- rus of 15 Central girls, with Profs. Kieth L. Holloway and Homer F. Hess singing duet, solo by Miss Mabel Thompson of "Katcha-Koo" fame, and a novelty dancing act by Patterson & Newton.
 Advance seat sale has been started at Greeson's drug store.

 Prince concerning the suit and she
 told him if he would see her later, after she had consulted with friends
 she would let him know whether she
 would poin in the suit. She did not afterwards see Judge Prince, she said but had definitely decided in the mean time that she would not take part in any litigation against the road dis tricts. "I am very much in favor of
 good roads and am willing to pay any reasonable tax to secure them," Mrs. Hines said.

HELD FOR MURDERING
 MAN WEARING CORSS
(By United Press,

St. Louis, March 9.-Two men are held by police here as suspects follow ing the murder late yesterday of Frank c. Herbst, president of the Herbst Store Fixtures Manufacturing Company.
 Herbst when shot was wearing a pair of corsets and women's silk hose. It was explained that the corsets were worn by him because of an injury he had received when a youth and the stockings were for the purpose of fast ening supporters to prevent the corsets from slipping up.
