AIRPLANES TO HAVE
WONDERFUL SPEED
Scientists Promise Great
Things for the Future.

Our new air age promises to be
high-fiying age. The 100 miles an hour
of present type airplanes will, 1t is
considered, be exceeded greatly by
adapting machines so that they can
take full advantage of the lessened
resistance of the air at high attitudes.
Before long we may look back on
flying machines of today, driving a
laborious way through retarding lower
air, with that same pity with which
a traveller In the blue and gold Riviera
express would let his thoughts wan
der back to the times when, sitting
in open trucks, the first railway tray-
elers jolted along with cinders from
the engine blowing into their faces.
Wonderful results are rewarding an
eight-yearS' research In sending air
planes up to high attitudes and there
making them fly miles an hour faster
than would be possible In dense air
near the worlds surface, writes Har-
ry Harper in the London Contempt
rary Review.
What science Is profting by now
are experiments, prosecuted assiduous-
ly, in perfecting "turho-compressor."
or light, small, high-speed turbine, the
function of which Is to "supercharge"
the engine of high-dying plane,
What latest trlumphs imply is vlr-
tual abandonment of flying near the
earth's surface, and an elevation of
regular aerial movement miles above
our heads. Hitherto planes flying at
great heights have failed to profit in
speed from the lessened air resistance
of high attitudes because their motors
have fallen away In power, But the
'turbo compressor" supplies the en-
gipe with high altitude air at such
pressure that the thlnness OF this air,
as compared with low altitude air Is
compensated for, and the engine pre-
serves Its power even at great heights.
In recent experiments remarkable
results have been achieved, not only
with supercharged engines, but also
with propellers having variable angle
blades designed to function efficiently
nj immense attitudes. Sending up
planes TIL they have been miles high.
experts have been able lately to In
crease their normal speed by more
than thirty miles an hour.
Scientifically, the quest now pro
ceeds along the following lines: Ex-
periments are to be made In increas-
Ing still farther the height of super
charged" flying, while another research
will be to design and perfect saloons
in which passengers can be carried
through the air at enormous heights
and speeds. Such saloons Will be sup
piled automatically. under pressure,
with air rendered just as breathable
as that at low attitudes
Scientists, enthusiastic AS to the pos
sibilities of immensely rapid flying

which globe lrdling craft will hurtle

Football on the Roof

Within stones throw of that ca

there is sports ground on which
cricket and football have been played
regularly for the last 80 years.
You might search for this long time
without finding lit is on the roof Of
St Paul's choir house. There, ON al
most any day in the week, you may
find half-a-dozen youngsters In foot
ball shorts or fannels exercising In n
wre-netted cage which Is about the
length of cricket pitch.
When the choir house was built II
was realized that 1t was necessary for
the boys to have some place where
they could play games, and this be-
ing impossible in the crowded city
streets, sports ground was laid out

In the vicinity of the shotworks.
Both were thirsty and both. as It hap
pened, without funds. Havez had an
idea.
He outlined It TO his companion
and then they entered the saloon in
a violent argument with each other,
TN bet you anything I'm right"
Havez declared.
You're wrong" stated his friend
stubbornly, you're just naturally
bound to be wrong"
They lined up at the bar still de
batting. The German waiting patiently
to serve them became interested.

said Havez. I'm bet you the drinks
Pm right and leave II to our friend

The German served them and they
drank.

man, wat is dis petf"

toward the door. my friend here

down 1t will fall to the north. l say
