Junkers Metal Planes
 Have Special Merits

New York, Aug. Is P)-Chiehy to prove his claim that anything could be made out of metal" Professor Hugo Junkers, German scientist and designer of the monoplane Bremen, combined his knowledge of metal lurgy with aeronautics to perfect an all-metal, heavier -than-air flying machine.
 Professor Junkers had already es- tablished himself as one of Europe's leading metallurgists prior to the World war.
 In the study of construction of airplanes from metal, Professor Junkers. early in his experiments settled on the idea of internal truss ing of the wing, which gives an i'm mediate approach to the problem of flying wing.
 This unhraced cantilever thick section wing is said to allow a greater lift range without develop ing prohibtive resistance. The wing skin of thin -sheeted duralumin is corrugated to withstand loca stresses, and gives the wing its shape without being supported by ribs.

Both Mrs. Shoup and Mrs. Storms were in rundown condition which caused them much unhappiness. When women are suffering from lack of strength and from weakness, their own life and that of their fam fly is affected.

Among a number OF nationals OF
countries which are not participant

frankly expressed that the confer

long. French observers feel it would
he exceedingly unfortunate to per
NIT the parley TO collapse in SEES

cation, after which Mr.. Gibson con-
ferred individually with Mr.. Bridg-
man and the other chief British del
egate, Lord Cecil.
The British emphasized a desire
for a public session, Lord Cecil be-
ing anxious to appeal to the opin-
ion of the world not to let the naval
conference separate without har-
monious agreement. 1t is the belief
of the British. according to the best
information. that public debate
would clear the atmosphere, and
that even if no agreement resulted,
the road might be smoothed for later
negotiations which might be finally
successful.
1t is maintained by the Americans
that they have nothing to fear from
a public session. Mr.. Gibson has
let it be known that, unless way
to prevent a rupture is found in dis
cuSSionS that are bound to take
place among the plenipotentiaries
between now and the plenary ses-
sion, he will set forth the American
viewpoint in firm, but moderate,
language. and then recommend that

message at his home, Lauderdale,

couple had been marred by only
one great grief--the loss Of their
only son. Captain John Lauder
killed in the battle of the Somme IN
1916. Since that time their mutual
dependence and affection seemed
stronger than ever.

funnel-on.a-stick to souse the heavy
fabric up and down. This implement
did the job more efficiently.
The fame of the farmers inven.
ton grew, and soon small work.
shop was set up to supply neighbors.
Next the inventor developed q de-.
vice whereby you could attach the
funnel to any washtub and work il
up and down by a sort Of pump
handle. This apparatus was still
further improved. Then in 1899, 4
complete tub and stand was made,
with the funnel q built-in part Of
the whole. This was the first actual
vacuum cup washing machine. II
was called Model A, and Of course
was operated by hand. 1t was soon
followed by Model B, which had two
tunnels, or vacuum cups, instead Of
one. Then came the first Easy
Electric Washer.
Through the years this washerwas
constantly refined and improved
