Judge Hahn withheld his answer 10
the offer pending consultation with

its power.
Mr.. Mcmahon told the board that
his organization could show that
southern competition did not threaten

would have been justified in returning
a part of the 2ot per cent. cut of De-

New Manometer
For Recording Air
Pressure on AirshipS

Washington, Feb. pa new ma
nometcr or instrument for recording
air pressure on wing and tail surfaces
of airplanes at different points
simultaneously has been designed
engineer of the Langley Memorial
Laboratory at Langley Field, Virgin
ia, it was announced today by the
National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics.
The first experiments were under
taken by the Laboratory for the Ma
Wy Department in order to determine
the distribution of pressure over the
horizontal tail surfaces of an airplane
pressure to structural loads and
longitudinal stability and were con-
Quoted on full sized planes in the air
and on models in the wind tunnels.
The old method consisted in using a
horizontal tail surface inside Of which
rubber tubes connected with a series
of holes on the surface led to a null
tiple liquid manometer. The several
tubes of the manometer registered
tlic VI az Cd\lt Sildl6S VI SPSSo
or air pressure and the results were
recorded by an automatic camera
which photographed the height of
the liquid in the tubes every few
seconds.
To study various pressures in ac-
tolerated flights or Stunning" it was
! impossible to use the old liquid ma
nometer and consequently the new
manometer was developed, substi-
| tuting the detection of metal dia-
! phragms and a means of automati-
cally recording their DETECTION for
| the liquid manometer and the cam
era respectively.
Among the results achieved by the
Investigations are:
| That the low average load per
square foot on the usual type of tail
plane doing steady flight is SO small
that it could not in any conceivable
way cause failure.
| That the records taken of the same
pressures on tail surfaces in acceler-
ated flights demonstrated that there
was no large increase in these forces.
! A complete manometer for making
pressure distribution tests has been
sent to the army air service engineer
ing laboratory at McCook Field, Day
ton, Ohio, for experiment by army ex-
perts.
1t was also learned today that the
Langley Laboratory contemplates a
further study to ascertain the pres
sure on different parts of the wing and
tail surfaces at very high speed in the
! future. In an effort to learn If p~s-
sible the causes of several accidents
which occurred in aviation races.
where the planes were making very
high speeds and for which no cause

Colorado Governor
in Strong Plea
for Good Roads


Springfield. Ill. Feb. 22-Good
roads in the country will do more to
lower the high cost OF living and more
for the prosperity, comfort, culture
and happiness of the people than
things fought over in twelve presi-
dental campaigns, Governor Oliver
II. Shoup OF Colorado. today told
members OF the Pixies Peak Ocean
10 Ocean highway association at its
annual meeting here.
THE establishment Of motor truck
express lines in every farming COM
munity will stimulate the production
of more food. reduce the cost Of liv-
ing and probably will make public
markets successful in American CT
ties" he continued.
Continuing he declared. "Industri-
al revival is being retarded. we are
told. because OF the agricultural sit
uation. When the farmer can't buy,
the manufacturer can't sell. The
farmer can't buy because he is forced

ucts Checking the markets it is
found. that domestic consumption is
normal the price low. We have an
overproduction and no place to dis

What needs to be done Is plain.
How 10 do II is quite another matter.
The thing TO do is to find market
for the surplus
Depreciating the fact that the
farmer has been held up as the ma
tons bankrupt. Governor Shoup de-
clared that the farmer is no worse
of than men in other lines of bust
ness and is better off than many. 1.-The
farmer" he continued" although still
far from prosperity has his feet on a
more secure economic footing than
those engaged in other vocations."
Quoting from government statistics
for 1918, Governor Shoup declared
that st cost 80 cents per ton per
mile TO haul wheat by wagon as
against Is cents by truck. Statistics
further show that it costs on good
roads OF hard resistant surfaces,
cents 10 haul one ton per mile. Or

ally as compared to what it would

Quoting from a speech by Senator

that the throwing away of actual

roads, would build every year forty

such as the Lincoln or Pixies Peak

throughout the nation save this bill

wasted annually. but they would in
crease the raising Of food stuff and
other products because the case OF

tive TO more careful production. On

Of more than 504.0o0,0O0 per year in

Deny Importation
Workers in Mills
at Manchester, n. H.

Manchester, n. H.. Feb. 22-The |
ninth day of the textile strike again
sees peace.
The interesting thing of the day
has been the intimation from the
headquarters of the labor leaders
that the Amoskeag Corporation has
been importing workers in certain
lines. and paying them more than
the old scale in order to retain their
services. This agent, w. Park Straw
unqualifiedly denies. The intimation
was conveyed in the following state
me mt issued from the strikers head
quarters.
Reports have reached us from re-
liable sources that the local corpora
lions are bringing in outsiders to do
certain work in the mills and are
paying them in some instances $40 a
| week more than they did their for
mer employees We will not be re-
sponsible for any disturbances
caused by these men. We know
nothing of their character. The po-
| lice authorities have been notified
that certain elements caused trouble
in Rhode Island and that if they are
! allowed to come to Manchester, the
same may happen here"
| Agent w. Parker Straw stated to-
day that the Amoskeag company is
doing no manufacturing whatever,
/ and that only men enough are kept
in the plant to see that boilers are
| running and to police the different
plants and yards. He declared that
reports among the strikers that men
were being brought here from the
| outside to persuade the men to re-
turn to work were untrue.
| Vice. President Starr stated today
that he expects to call upon the de-
partment of labor for government
tai investigation of the textile situa-
ton in New Hampshire, which. he
| declares. has caused the strike of
| textile operatives. I'VE assume" he
said. that the government is inter-
ested in seeing the situation cleared
| up. and l shall ask the government
| for an investigation. AS yet the mill
officials have given no good reason
for the changes in the schedules to a
! J4-hour working week and a rcduc-
( ton in wages. l know there is Il
market for the companys goods and
| in case of investigation, we shall ask
! for q statement as to the increase in
