BY WILLIAM j. WHEATLEY.

When the public buildings bill now
pending in Congress becomes a law
there will still be a great deal of de
tail to be looked after before the
work of actually constructing the
buildings gets started. After the
bill becomes law there is still very
necessary and important step to be
taken by Congress, which is the ap-
preparation of the money which the
bill authorizes. AS soon as the meas
ure becomes an act the estimate for
the first years expenditures will be
placed in deficiency bill and is 20
be acted upon, It is now planned, be-
fore the present session of Congress
adjourns.
The Public Buildings Commission
headed by Senator Smoot of Utah,
which now has charge of the allot-
ment of space for governmental activ-
tiles in buildings in this city now, will
have thrust upon 1t, as soon as the
law is enacted, the important duty of
determining what activities are to be
housed, the size of buildings and
amount of space. the location and
other important details. This must
be done even before any money is
expended in the preparation of the
plans and specifications for the erec.
ton of the buildings.
Many Structures Dangerous.
This task alone is a large order, be.
cause Of the great expansion the
Government has experienced which
has thrown many of it's activities into
temporary buildings erected to meet
the war emergency and many OF
which have been kept up at great
expense by the Government since.
Most of these buildings have suffered
from the deterioration of their under
pinning, which has rotted through in
many instances. and the buildings for
the most part are dangerous to per
sonnel, to say nothing of their dis
comfort from the oppressive heat OF
the Summer.
Until the Public Buildings Commits
sion completes it's task. it was pointed
out, nothing can be done in the prep
aration of plans for the erection of the
buildings, for upon their ruling de
pends what building will be started
first and how the others Will follow
The actual work of the preparation OF
the plans will be only a matter OF
few months, ii was said.
Must Get Arts Approval.
When these are completed. ther
they must go 10 the NdtlOndl toHlllis
sion of Fine Arts for comment, as II
whether they fit into the genera
scheme of public buildings.
After passing through all of these
details. which will require consider
able time the proposals will be pre-
pared for submission to prospective
bidders to estimate on the construc
ton. 4 matter TO be settled in con
nection with this will be whether each
building will be offered as an entire
contract or whether ii will be divided
into several contracts, as in the case
Of the Arlington Memorial Bridge. the
construction of which has been divid
ed into three contracts.
One of the greatest tasks in connec
ton with the provision of the new
buildings will be that allotted to the
Public Buildings Commission in its Sc.
lection of the sites for the buildings
the order of precedence for the con
struction and the size of the buildings
Although the commission which has
been working on the allotment OF
space for buildings for a long time
and has been assigning and reassign

! nary sailing ship with an auxiliary
motor was found in the fact that the
rotorship can sail within two and
three points of the wind; also. the
rotors do not lose their vacuum as
easily as canvas and are not in
huence1. as sails are. by the roll
OF the ship.
Larger rotors on larger ships
ShiDs Of more than 1000 tonS-the
promoters said. ard Il longer voyage
to profit by favorable winds. would
show more decidedly the value OF
the rotor principle.
The 3.000-ton craft sailing for
South America will fulfill both
of these requirements. In bid
ding the Baden-PoweM farewell at
Kiel, Anton Flettner spoke of the
shin which he is building as the
proof which will establish the utlIlty
ii the rotor principle beyond argu-
ment. -
Erroneous impressions of the
oner1tion of the rotorS which were
v-idespread at the first appearance
Of the invention, have to some eN-
,ert persisted. The most common
-2f,impression WAS that the Wlnu
,,f,.ned the rotors which were geared
to tho propeller. So little respect
,,as naid 10 the 45-horSepoWer
motor which turned the Buckau :
rotOrS.
Power Principle Explained.
rh;nl, of the rotor as clock dial,
lily, - the direction of the ship
nrorress. A wind is blowing from
norf--9 O'Clock. Now the column Oh
ali, ia split-one portion turns TO pass
~ to,rer at 6 o'clock and the other
to pass it at l2.
There is distinct friction of the air
against the tower. 1t Is apparent
.hat at e O'Clock. with the air blowing
from port. the tower. revolving cloch-
wise. is pushing against t-the sur
faca of the rotor opposing the
BOUNDARY layer" of air-the iayer
next to it-tends to stop 1t and piie
if up. causing pressure at that point
nressure in the direction of the YES
sells progress. ..
At II o'clock there is also frictlon
of air against rotor. but here both are
,noving in the same direction. AS the
rotor. revolving about 120 times a
minute. however. offers a surface at
this point moving to larboard much
more rapidly than the wind, the
tendency is to carry the boundary
laver by before the wind behind
catches up producing partial
vacuum. The vacuum, of course
"sucks" the rotor and the vessel for
ward: i. e.. enhances the pressure
in the rear.
Reversing the rotors, of course. pro
duces a contrary push and pull so
that the rotorship can sail full speed
astern, for. by running the rotors in
opposite directions, it can be turned
sharply in full course.
If the wind is from the other side
the larboard-the rotor is turned
counter -clockwise. receiving the wind
at 3 O'Clock with exactly the same
effect.
In practice the pressure and suction
do not occur exactly at and II. but
nearly enough to produce propulsion
equal to that of sail 10 times as
large in area as the rotors.
Evidences of the forces are not new.
A curve ball or ''cut" ball in tennis
is propelled in one direction and
rotored at right angles. Every day

the rough for golf balls that they

verted into rotors.

MANY new uses
SEEN FOR COTTON

Atlanta, Ga.-New uses for cotton
are constantly being found, but this
gain for the South's staple product
is somewhat offset by the declining
use Of cotton IN certain fields-nota-
bly, women's clothing, it vas pointed
out here today.
Their care still however, many in
stances in which textile materials are
imported for uses to which cotton
could probably be put, it was shown
here.
One of the most interesting is that
q cotton burlap be made and nut on
the market and made as readily avail
able as jute buriaps. It is estimated
that approximately 850,0OO,00O lbs.
of jute and jute fabrics are imported
into this country each year and Of
this about $50, ,000.OO pounds is in
jute fabric. This amount is equal to
about 100000 bales of cotton and
would keep 100000 cotton spindles
active all the year round, it was
pointed out.
1t is suggested that fabric of cot
ton take the place of jute bagging
for cotton bales, a fabric of lighter
and closer weave so that the bale
could be entirely covered and better
protected. 1t is also suggested that
cotton bags be used instead of jute
bags for such commodities as flour,
grain, feed, seed. sugar, fertilizer,
coffee, starch and many other things.
/ "There are numerous other sugges-
tions but this seems particularly,
said an Atlanta cotton man. rs there
any good reason why we should i'm
port a fabric to pack our cotton in,
when one just as good and perhaps
/ better could be made from domestic
product? Cannot southern cotton
compete in price and quality with i'm
ported fabrics for this and variety
of other common uses? If SO, why
| against our own products?
