When he slowed down near the

col, ALL METAL
SHIP, STANDS TEST
AT M'COOK FIELD
Officers Here Watch Prog.
ress of Nev Army
Airplane.

An all-metal airplane known Off
cially as the col, is the latest devel-
opment of the air service engineering
department at McCook Field, Dayton,
Ohio, and, in the opinion of many fly
ing officers in San Antonio, it bids
fair to revolutionize the air service.
The all-metal plane has already passed
several rigid flying tests. Brig. Ten.
William Mitchell, assistant chief of
the air service, said when he was in
San Antonio last winter, that the air
service is going into metal as fast as
possible, and the development of the
COL bears out his statement.
The all-metal plane may be left in
the open for an indefinite length of
time, making the use of hangers al
most unnecessary. 1t has a further
advantage in that the usual fabric
wing and fuselage covering of the
planes now in use have to be removed
once year. whereas in the case of
the new type plane the duralumin
covering is permanent part of its
structure and does not require re-
placement.
Both wings and fuselage are covered
with corrugated. duralumin and the
structure proper is heat-treated steel
and duralumin. The weight of the
plane when empty is 5000 pounds and
when fully loaded is 4750 pounds. The
difficulty of overweight, which has
been the chief fault with all previous
all-metal planes, has been overcome in
the col, and it is said the plane can
safely carry loads greatly in excess
of the specified design load of 1850
pounds. The new all-metal plane is
equipped with the standard Liberty
Il motor, and has a gasoline capacity
Of 125 gallons.
The primary function Of the new
plane is ground observation, and to
serve this purpose it has many pew
and unique features. The width OF the
lower wing is reduced next TO the fuse
lage in order to give the pilot, as near
as possible, an unobstructed view OF
the ground at all times. The wing ia
pers to its full width four feet from
the fuselage, and is braced by external
steel struts. Glass windshields are
provided on the sides of the pilots
cockpit. making the use of goggles I'M
necessary. The landing gear is of the
so-called axle-less type and has an
exceedingly wide tread, the landing
gear struts being anchored to the wing
structure.

WOMEN WANT
CAMPYARD IN
PARK MOVED
'Woman's Club Says Park Is
Being Diverted From
Its Purpose.
is TOO PUBLIC
Both Tourists and Public
Favor Change,
They Say.
is TOO PUBLIC

A petition to the city council re-
questing the removal of the tourist
camp yard from Breckenridge Park to
a more private and less conspicuous
site, will be presented, following ac-
ton taken by the board of directors
of the Woman's Club. A resolution
%was passed saying that the park was
being diverted from its intended use.
The resolution follows:
~Whereas, the use of Breckenridge
Park has been diverted from the pur-
pose it was originally intended for by
using it as a public camp site and
conditions obtain which are obnox-
ious to the general public as they
pass by and as the park was donated
for the benefit of women and chill
dren, we therefore. ask that the camp
site be moved TO some other place
more suitable for this purpose"
'In the Public Eye"
The resolution was signed by Mrs.
D.. f. Stauffer, president of the
Woman's Club, and by Mrs. Ralph
jackson, corresponding, secretary.
A copy of the resolution was hand
ed to Mayor John Tobin for presen-
tation to the city council and the
mayor will place the. matter before
that body
While a comfortable and well equip
ped tourist camp yard is recognized
as q valuable asset to San Antonio,
and as an excellent advertisement for
the city, it is felt that the purpose
would be more adequately served in a
less conspicuous location. A number
of camping parties have expressed
themselves to the effect that it is
very embarrassing to visitors to find
themselves at all times-from the very
nature of the camp site that has been
assigned them-so much sin the pub
lie eye" One of the great attrac-
tons of camping is its utter infor-
mality, and in a place as public as
Breckenridge Park, where the pass
ing is as constant, little informality is
possible.
IN the Wrong Place.
Another drawback to the present To-
cation of the camp site in Bracken-
ridge Park, is that it robs the visitor
to San Antonio of an incentive TO
visit one of the city's greatest attrac-
tons, which is the park itself.
Stub women, who were present at
the meeting, express themselves as
feeling that the presence of n public
camp yard in the heart of the city's
most beautiful and most popular play
ground tends to commercialize the
park and to lower the degree of pride
and pleasure with which it is re-
garded by every citizen of San An
tonic.

AMARILLO'S CLAIMS
FOR CHRONOLOGICAL
COLLEGE ARE HEARD
Panhandle Towns Join
West Texas Metropolis
to Land School.
Amarillo, Tex, Aug. 4.-Presenting

Amarillo, Tex, Aug. 4.-Presenting
site that is Immediately close to
the residence district of Amarillo and
which has had the approval as. an ex-
pertinent station of the government
of the United States, and offering in
ducements not yet made by any of
the 30 towns that have been visited,
Amarillo and the Panhandle counties
about it that consider it their metrop-
oils, made their bid for the Texas tech
biological college today.
The principal arguments in behalf
of the establishment of the institu-
ton in Amarillo were made at an en-
thusiastic mass meeting held in ANA
rillo's quarter-million-d ollar auditor
ium last night at which speakers from
various Panhandle towns declared that
Amarillo is the choice of the Pan
handle of Texas. The crowd applaud
ed like that at a large patriotic gath
ering when Mrs. Phebe X. Warner,
diminutive little woman fir Claude
who is the best known woman citizen
of the Panhandle, declared that Claude
had withdrawn from competition
among the West Texas towns for the
college, and that the citizens of that
town want to see the Texas technology
cal college located in Amarillo, the me-
tropolis of the Panhandle.
In a way the meeting was one of
Panhandle towns, as the members of
the locating board sat on the platform
they viewed groups of standards, rep
resenting twenty or more towns that
had pledged themselves for the support
of Amarillo's bid for the institution.
The announcement that was greeted
with the most elaborate display of en-
thusiasm was that made by W. w.
Silk, oil operator, who said that he
represented the Overwhelming major
ity of the residents of Wichita Falls
when be asserted that Amarillo ought
10 get the college.
Furthermore, he declared, Wichita
Falls people would be glad to see
Amarillo of all the SO towns now in
the race, get the school, and that it
really deserved the million-dollar insti.
tuition.
He was applauded when he said that
only to-day / have received letter
from Col. Frank Kell of Wichita Falls
in which he told me he believed that
Amarillo ought to get the college.
Members of the board departed for
Memphis where they will spend the
night and Sunday. They will spend
Sunday in attending places of WORKSHOP
in Memphis, noted church town, and
during the afternoon will inspect the
site rendered by Memphis. Monday
morning they will go to Quanah r
an Inspection there and Tuesday at
oon'fhey viii depart for Fort Worth
after an inspection at Vernon.

Ambition for San Antonio-"My
ambition for San Antonio is to see
this city become the largest in the
South, not only in population but
in manufacturing" said Mr.. Geyer.
ain order to make it the largest city
in the South, it is absolutely neces-
sary, in my belief, that an adequate
flood prevention program be carried
out. We can never expect business
men to put their money here and
have it washed away by the flood
waters. If everybody would boost
San Antonio as consistently as some
knock it l feel positive that it would
not be long before we would have
the foremost city in the South"
