international Club Will Con-
slider Plan to Restore "old
Ironsides" at Boston

Restoration of the famous Ameri-
can fighting ship, "Old Constitu-
tion," known to history as "Old
Ironsides," may be proposed as
project of the United States section
of Kiwanis Clubs, through Wash
ington Kiwanians. it was learned to-
day.
The "Old Constitution" now Is
maintained as an object OF his
torical interest at the Boston Navy
Yard, but is rapidly deter1oratlng
and can only be saved by an ex-
penditure of $475,0OO.
Navy Has Inspected 1t.
This figure is the estimate OF
the Navy Departments board OF
inspection and survey. A bill for
this purpose is now pending in
Congress. In this instance, pend.
ing" means "pigeon-holed," and it is
unlikely that action on the measure,
at least to the extent OF making
such a large appropriation, will be
taken in the near future.
The naval inspectors, in reporting
on "Old Ironsides" to the depart
ment. declared that the ship is "a
priceless relic of the early navy,
closely associated with the early his
tory of our country, and an object
of interest and generation OF our
citizens"
The report recommended that the
utmost care should be continued
ito safeguard the ship and to pre-
serve her for the people indefi-
nitely." ],
The matter has been preached
to the board of directors of the
Washington Kiwanis Club in an In
formal way by Franc E. Sherry,
District trustee, and 1t Is planned
that a resolution be sent to the
public welfare committee OF the
United States section of 1nterna'
tional Kiwanis to urge prompt ac'
ton.
Exactly what form this campaign
will take, If the suggestion Is favor.
ably received, is now a matter Of
conjecture. 1t Is to be urged, how.
ever, that "Old Ironsides" should
continue to be kept from deteriora-
ton as long as possible and, II
Congress cannot act in time
Kiwanis may.
Repaired In 1857 and 1907.
The appropriation suggested by
the naval inspectors would keep the
ship in condition for many years to
come.
'Old Ironsides" was repaired. with
many renewals of rotted parts, al
the Philadelphia navy yard in 1857
approximately 100000 was sben;
in further repairs in 1906 and 1907
From time to time, since 1907
various minor aids toward preserva
ton have been given.
At present, "Old Ironsides" is
visited by thousands in Boston. al
though the condition of the famous
J old ship often makes it necessary
to close it to the public for repairs

The owners right to have the

LONDON, Feb. 2.--"There is no

Mussolinl OF Italy Is quoted as de-
Claring in an interview today in
the London Telegraph.
Stories Of a civil war in Italy

been imprisoned are Fascists, he
said, and Fascist newspapers as

been sequestered. The opposition
parties have been allowed the full

Referring to the reported agita
ton against Masonic orders Musso-

Commission Preparing to Pur-
chase Tracts on Rim of City.
Joined by BouIeVards

A. chain; of parks on the rim of
the city, linked together with bou-
levards, and following. the line of
the old civil war forts-this is the
first project to be announced by
the National Capital park commits
sion.
THE initial stages Of the plan
contemplate the purchase of park
lands in the Anacostia hills, south
of ST. Elizabeth's. and including
Fort Dupont and Fort Davis.
From that point the parkway
chain would work to the north, and
the northwest, and the boulevards
would connect with Rock Creek
drive and Potomac Park. In the
current District appropriation bin
the Budget Bureau hal sapproVed a.
$500, 900 item for the purchase OF
park land in the next fiscal year.
The project outlined has been de-
scribed as the most ambitious plan
for the development and beautifi-
cation of Washington that has YET
been proposed. The House subcom-
mittee on appropriations is now
81 udying it.
The National Capital park COM
mission had not expected to be
forced to disclose its plans at this
time, because it feared that the
purchase price Of certain tracts
would be advanced as soon as it
was known that the Government
contemplated buying them. The
hearings before the House subcom-
mittee. however, brought the facts
out into the open.
The fate of the appropriation for
the commission remains uncertain

ar the velocity of the wind
at all points a mile from g Tor
. nado is known, is there any
mathematical formula for COM
nnting the velocity in the tor
nado?-E. A. c., Hotel Madison
Waukegan, ILL.,"
IVES, a formula may De con-
structed upon the basis OF the
principle known as the "preserVa-
ton OF areas This means that
the product Of the tangential We
locitv Of cycIonic wind multiplied
by the radius OF rotation q. e., the
distance from the center1, must al
WAYS remain the same, so that as
the radius becomes less by ap-
proach to the center, the velocity
Of the wind becomes proportion
ately greater.
If the velocity a mile from the
center were ten miles an hour,
and the condition of the atmos-
phere were such as to cause the
wind to press spirally inward
then at a distance of half a mile
from the center, the Theoretical
velocity would be twenty miles.
At a quarter of Amile 1t would
be forty miles: at an eighth of a
mile, eighty miles: and at the dis
lance of $50 feet from the center
Il would be $50 miles.
How TOrnadoes Form.
Tornadoes appear to be born
from local atmospheric condi-
tions, existing usually along the
southeastern verge Of a cyclonic
region a thousand or more miles
in diameter. But if the law of
areas were throughout applicable
in it's integrity, and without inter
fering circumstances one could
figure a tornado as taking its
origin from a spiral movement
beginning 500 or 600 miles away
and increasing with gradual ap-
proach from a hardly perceptible
breeze to an irresistible whirling
hurricane.
The calculated velocities can
never be fully attained, because
friction in the atmosphere and
against the ground absorbs much
of the kinetic energy Of the wind;
but the fearful destruction
wrought in the heart Of a tor
nado is sufficient testimony to
the terrific speed with which the
air Is there whirled about.
But there is another formula
that should be applied in order
