EXHAUST STACK FOUND TO BE
 SOURCE OF FIRE TO PLANES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. IA (P)- Army air experts believe that in the exhaust stack they have found the firebug largely responsible for the tendency of crashed planes to burst into flames and which has cost many lives. The much repeated flaming collins" designation of certain old types of army planes by Colonel Wm. Mitchell arose from this tendency. l An air service report said that 30 crash tests were conducted on obso- lete airplanes. It was discovered the exhaust stack was very serious source of fire and that if it were pos sible to so design an exhaust stack that it would be cool enough to pre- ven tthe self ignition of gasoline o1 oil sprayed into the stack the number of fires would be greatly reduced.
 Preliminary designs of standard length, water-cooled exhaust mani folds and short, air-cooled manifold have shown that it is entirely possibl to prevent fires from this source" sai

THREE PERIODS OF TIME IN
 WOODS "cHALK MARKS

Tense drama, good natured comedy and heart-thrilling romans are com bined in equal proportions in Chalk Marks" a Frank Woods production to which local theater-goers will be treat ed tonight at the Liberty theatre.
 "Chalk Marks" is laid in three diff ferent periods. The story opens in the early eighties, is then transferred to about the 1910 period, and reaches it's conclusion in the present day. As a result, in addition to the excellent story told, there is a progressive pa rade of fashions and customs that give the attraction much added inter est and no small amount of laughter. The story centers around the love af- | fairs of Angelina Kilbourne and Her bert Thompson. The former idolizes Herbert but he, selfishly, turns to an
 other woman who can give him great
 CT prominence in the social world anG help him up the ladder of legal fame
 which he has just started to ascend
 The years carry on and Angelina il ] left with only her memories.
 The second period shows Herber
 in his middle age surrounded by 1;
 wife whose only interest in life il
 her social standing and his two chil
