EXPERTS SEEKING
SAFE PLANE TANK
Washington Firm Puts New
Device in Competition
At London.

LONDON. Jan. T.-EXhaustive re-
searches are now in progress at
the royal aircraft establishment,
FarnsborouCh, lIants, to find type
OF gasoline tank for sirplsucs
which will do away with. or min
imize. the danger Of explosion sud
fire in the event OF plane crash.
Aircraft experts state that 20 per
cent OF tho fatalities that occur
when airplanes crash result from
explosion Of the gasoline tanks and
the resultant fire. in which the
pilot, caught in the tangled wreck
age, is often burned alive.
Throughout the war experts at
tempted TO develop a tank which
could stand the shock Of crash.
No suitable tank could be found.
however. One device was produced
whereby. when a pilot saw that a
crash was inevitable, he could pull
a trip detaching the gasoline tank,
which fell TO the ground free OF the
machine. Many planes were con-
structed with this feature, but IL
did not prove entirely satisfactory.
The British government has now
offered prizes aggregatiug $4,000 20
private companies, which are today
entered in a series OF competitive
tests at Farnsborough. Twenty
seven firms have made entries OF
their particular type OF gasoline
tank. among them the Waldo A.
Ross Company, OF Washington. ID.
c. an American firm.
Actual crash conditions are sim
ulated in the tests. The gasoline
tanks are mounted on a wooden
chassis, together with a heavy con-
crete block. cast to resemble an air
plane engine. This gear is then
hoisted to the top Of a large diriEi-
BILE shed. and placed on an inclined
trolley track, which runs 20 the
ground at a sharp angle.
When a trip is released the tank
and concrete engine plunge down
ward. attaining velocity OF
eighty-two miles per hour at the
moment that they crash into the
ground at the base.
This severe shocks would crush
the ordinary steel gasoline tank.
and has severely battered many of
the tanks entered to date. Some
Of these tanks. made OF steel Gu
the outside. are protected by an
inner rubber skin. however. and
even though the steel casing IL
fractured, the rubber expands and
keeps the gasoline from escaping.
The tanks are also 20 be tested
for machine-Eun~ hre. incendiary
bullets being fred into them. II il
hoped that a tank may be developed
which will even be bunetproof.

lS.-The prospect of s@ttling the trou-

as ever. Though month has passed
since the British | roposed to investi-
gate the Turkish cruelties against
Christians, subordinating the solution
of the Turkish problem to the re-
suits of the investigation. no further
steps have been taken. The Angora
government has not Yet been ap-
preached on the subject. but il is
known unofticially that the national
lists are unprepared to accept an al
lied mission.
In order to avoid being snubhed ty
the Turks. the French suggested that
the allies give up the plan OF sending
commission of their own and tfat
neutral investigators go instead. Thus
far no agreement has been reached on
the French proposal While The
allies are uncertain what to do.
Greece and Turkey are preparing to
continue the war. In Anatolia all
men between eighteen and nifty nave
been summoned to the colors. leaving
the very fertile lands unworked.
With the aid of the Russians, how
ever, the Kemalist government is able
to meet the financial requirements.
The Constantinople government 10
