Roaring of Plane
Made by Twisted
Propeller Blade

Fitted with a new-type triple
bladed propeller, one Of the Navy's
new scouting, bombing and torpedo
planes. designated SC-6, flew about
the city yesterday afternoon and
produced such Il loud and pene-
trating roar that many residents
of Southeast Washington in par
ticular and the District in general
left their homes to locate the
source of the noise.
The plane was given test by
Lieut.. Jimmie" Barner of the
Naval Air Station, who will fly the
craft in the Detroit News trophy
race for large capacity planes at
Mitchell Field the latter part of the
week. The craft was powered with
a Packard "2500" motor. of 500
horsepower. Lieut.. Barner stated
the noise was due to the blades
being slightly out of pitch, a condi-
ton which he purposely made In
order to turn the motor up to its
maximum revolutions.
The propeller blades always will
make a racket" he added, but
this will be somewhat reduced
when the blades are pitched at
another angle.

pays approximately 3 per cent less

data is not available, rentals for resi-

AVERAGE WAGE HIGH.
Data available indicates that tho

per month of &c days, but as ne uses
so or 81 days to spend this he must,
in order to maintain his financial
equilibrium, spend slower than no

COSTS INCREASE.
Statistics gathered by the United
States from the larger cities of the
country for the 12-year period ending
June 80, show that. all items entering
into the cost of living have increased
1876 per cent since 1918. but in San
Antonio this increase has been but
approximately 50 pee cent for the
same period. Cost of gas also has de-
creased appreciably during the past
few years.
Government figures for the same
period show increases as follows
food, So per cent; clothing, 70.6 per
cent; housing, ga per cent; fuel and
light, 76.7 per cent; house furnishings,
114.3 per cent, and miscellaneous ne
cessities, 1927 per cent. Of all items,
electric current is the only one which
consistently decreased, the total be-
ing 90 per cent.
Practically all items reached the

then was $40 per cent more than in
1913 and this continued to show an
increase until 1924, the December re-
