BILL TO INCREASE
Navy is FAVORED

Washington, D. C.-Carrying out the
wishes Of President Coolidge and the
navy department, the senate naval
affairs committee favorably reported
the bill providing for the construction
of scout cruisers and river gunboats
to restore the 5-5-3 ratio agreed upon
at the Washington conference.
To expedite matters, the senate ap-
proved the house bill without amend
ments. The measure provides for CON
struction of eight scout cruisers, car
rying protection and armament equal
to British boats of that size and type,
to have the highest possible speed and
the widest possible radius of action
Exclusive of armor and armament the
cruisers are to cost S11, 100000 each.
Construction is to be started before
July l, 1927.
Recent official reports disclosing the
fact that the American navy has not
maintained the 5-5-3 ratio agreed upon
at the Washington conference and that
1t Is now far behind Great Britain's if
not Japan's because of the lack of
light cruisers and other units allowed
under the naval treaty, created sen
sation at the White House and in CON
gress. Now there seems to be a de-
termination to remedy that situation
and bring the American navy up to
the sos ratio.

Mafic Mirror

"The Magic Mirror-step this way
and see yourself thin, fat, tall, short"'
cries the circus announcer. We fol-
low the crowd into a room filled with
mirrors, and on looking into them
behold ourselves in various comical,
hideous or queer shapes. How do
we get to look like thatT we ask.
The magic" Is all in the manufac-
ture of the mirror. Before a looking
glass is shipped from a factory 1t is
examined by an expert for flaws. If
a defect, no matter how slight, is
found. the mirror is not saleable as a
perfect" glass, and Is sent to an
other department.
Here it may be used for a number
of things. Sometimes it Is broken up
for small mirrors. More often it is
carefully waved 80 as to produce
queer. laughable reflections. An or
dinary glass may be waved in a
number of styles, making the be-
holder look like a person with several
heads, zigzag legs or enormous hands.
Magic mirrors were not uncommon
in the middle ages, when polished
metal and steel served rs looking
glasses. The surface Of the glass.

Martial et Armand include belted and

lection. And SO it goes. The truth
of the matter is that the promine Mt
dressmakers of Paris know their
public too well to attempt any very
drastic change. Undoubtedly they
would welcome changes almost rev.
olutionary.
A revival of interest in the vio-
let and pansy shades is note
worthy together with a continued in
terest in copper and rust tones. But
there is wide difference in the color
choice of the different prominent and
influential designers this autumn.
With Chanel of Paris Chinese blue,
claret, green, brown and tan prevail
over all other colors Patou has a
rosewood, Nile green and an al
sinthe of distinction. With the Miller
Soeurs browns and fuchsia tones are
recommended above others. Agnes
is inclined to greens--adding many
copper tones and russet browns for
daytime. with pink and white for eve
ming and black for all occasions.
Black and reddish browns are most
striking with Bechoff, while Geor-
gette uses violets. blue green's, cop
per and bronze shades and mahogany

Testing Propellers.

As everybody knows, the various
"A parts of airplanes must undergo
certain mechanical tests before they
prove their fitness for service. Among
the most interesting of devices for
this purpose is that designed for the
preliminary testing of airpIane pro-
pellers. 1t consists principally of a
turntable built to revolve about a
heavy steel post located a short dis
tance from the shore in a small body
of water. The turntable is built of
structural steel throughout and equip
ped with a high power gasoline en-
gine near the center of the apparatus.
and a shaft extending to one end
through which the power is transmit
ted to the propeller to be tested.
The tests are made by starting the
gasoline engine and allowing the pro-
peller by its pressure against the air
to revolve the turntable about its CEN
ter support. The quality Of the pro-
peller may be judged by the speed
with which it is able to drive the
turntable around during the test.

A Desert Railway.

THE Australian government has
undertaken the construction of
. transcontinental railway that will
great country. The land is SO level
cross the largest desert of that
that no tunnels, deep cuts or steep
grades and few culverts and bridges
are required. Sand dunes are the
greatest obstruction, one belt of dune
being 20 miles wide.
: The remarkable thing about the
railway is that it lies in a region un-
inhabited even by aborigines, where
the real task of the engineer is to
provide water; grading and track
laying are incidental.
The returns which the government
expects to get from the traffic on the
transcontinental line are an insig-
nificant fraction Of the cost Of build
ing and upkeep. but the political and
strategic values of the railway are
immense. 1t shortens the distance
from London to Melbourne or Sydney
by nearly a week. and likewise de-
creases the time between West Aus
tralia and New Zealand or America.
1t brings the western half of the
continent in touch with the east ern
by converting strenuous two
month overland journey from Ade-
laide to Perth into a comfortable
