MONOPLANE MAKES
new SPEED RECORD
Attains Speed of 206 Miles an
Hour With Small
Motor.

The Nieuport monoplane was a
plane to conjure with in the early
days. and its reputation for speed
has outlived that of many OF its
pioneer rivals. The latest model
(Nieuport-Delage) just put up a
new record, being flown at 2Os
miles per hour with q 800 h. p.
Hispano-Suiza motor. 1t consists of
a very reduced surface. one meter
square, affixed between the two
landing wheels. The upper plane
has a span OF eight meters and a
breadth Of one meter and fifty c,
the fuselage measures six metres,
fifty c., and the whole machine
when ready for flight weighs $50
kilogrammes.
The latest type OF monoplane in
England, the Handalula, is a radi-
cal departure from current practice.

bird. This machine, which is now
simply called "Alula," was flown
by Comdr. Kenworthy at Northolt
airdrome and attained a speed of
1877 miles an hour. 1t reached a

first flight This remarkable per-
formance was carried out with only
800 horsepower Hispano-Suiza
engine, but with a larger machine
of modified design and engined by
a 1000 horsepower Napier Cub, "
a much greater rate of speed is eX-
pected. The Alula wing is a spe-
cially high lift wing. said to be
very efficient and designed by Mr.
HOLE. who has been studying bird
flight and the subject Of high lift
wings for twenty years. A London
paper, touching on the remarkable
speed performances of the above
planes, states: Now that the prob
lem of using larger engines in
monoplanes is well nigh solved by
mounting them in a fuselsge below
the wings instead of on top, we
may expect that the speed and
climbing records will fall like a
shower of stars for while, after
which there will be a pause to con-
slider how the designs can be trans
formed into a little more airplans
and less engine"

THE INVOLUNTARY VAMP

Where Is Ted. by the way?" she
asked.
Sylvia stared.
You don't mean to say you
haven't seen him?"
Heavens no! Is he East. or
West?'
Sylvia's thin carmined lips com
pressed themselves.
Really Diana, Bou are too alb
surd if you're trying to make me
believe that"
Diana flushed angrily. The taxi
came and she bundled Sylvia into
it without ceremony and sprang in
after her.
