Planes May Be Operated
by Compressed Air Soon

London, Aug. 5.-Propellerless air
planes are the latest probable inven.
ton, Of scientists.
Laboratory research has shown that
air, compressed and mixed with fuel
in a combustion chamber. could be
projected through a nozzle at the rear
of the aeroplane. and the reaction to
its discharge would necessarily drive
the machine through the air.
The only drawback TO this means
OF propulsion, 1t Is thought. would be
the heaviness of the mechanism and
the high fuel consumption.

Coolidg
Program Is
Held Sound
Plan of Continuing Harding's
Policies Makes for Sta
bility and Public Conf
dence, Pointed Out.
Cabinet Stays Intact t
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Washington Aug. 6.-The most
important and most evident aspect
of Coolidge's beginning is his inten-
ton to carry out Harding's policies.
lie is putting emphasis on continuity
both of Harding's policies and Hard
ings men. He is taking pains to do
this even in small matters. His
course is based on several reasons.
One OF the best is that Coolidge, hav-
ing sat in Harding's cabinet, knows
his policies as well as Harding did.
DsHf0reover, this course Is in good
taste and makes for public conf
dence and a sense Of security and sta
bility. Finally, practically every
thing now before Coolidge or likely
to come before him. during several
weeks or months, is unfinished busi-
ness. 1t was started along Hardings
lines and Coolidge will finish it along
these lines.
In the matter OF the cabinet, Cool
idge will take pains to keep them all
il he can. One or two of. them he
may not be able to keep. To men

death turns the world upside down.
Between Harding and each of these
two men there were personal relations
OF an intimacy almost approaching
tenderness-a sort of thing rather
too delicate to write about. Whether
they could even, with the best OF
will toward Coolidge, have their
hearts in the new regime Is the per.
sonal question they will reflect about.
Three Are Indispensable.
What Washington occasionally
calls tho important big three Of the
cabinet are Hughes, Hoover and
Mellon. Hughes and -Iellon are in
this group apart because of the i'm
portance OF their particular offices
as we'll AZ because Of their ability.
Hoover Is in it in spite Of the rela-
lively less Importance Of his Com
lnerce department, because Of his ex-
traordinary personal ability and be-
cause. as matter OF fact. he is so
xell grounded and SO indispensable
in many big matters that come up
outside the limits of his particular of.
fetal field.
As to these three men there is this
curious fact: All Of them accepted
Harding's solicitation to enter his
cabinet without having had more
than the slightest personal ae-
ouaintance with him. 1t is doubtful
il Mellon had ever met Harding and
doubtful IL Hughes and Hoover had
had more than few personal con-
facts with him before he asked them
and they promised to go in the cab
met.
II these men were willing to work
for Harding under these conditions
they will probably be equally willing
TO work for Coolidge. The work TO
