III. WING OF 5-S-2


III. WING OF 5-S-2
First part)
In the early days of aeronauitcal
history airplanes were equipped
with fat wings, but after a study
of the anatomy of birds, and of
aerodynamics the curved wing was
adopted as being more Efficient.
Whereas the fiat wings exerted a
lift only because Of the pressure
on the under surface, it was found
that curved wings, in addition to
the pressure on the bottom, utilized
a vacuum on the top surface, and
thus increased the wing efficiency.
The next step was to find the most
efficient curvature for the top sur
face, and what shapes of upper and
lower surfaces produced the best re-
suits whether the object desired was
speed, or lift. or combinations of
these two facturs.
Thus there have been evolved
many wing sections. When a new
one is designed an accurately made
pattern of it is placed in a sensitive
balance in variable air stream,
and its actions noted. The results
are published and are available to
aircraft designers. The sections are

GENERAL WOOD WAS
LIFE FOE OF LEPROSY
Aided Campaign for 100000 Fund
in Last Days.

In Last DAYS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-One of the
last letters written by Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood before he died was
an appeal for funds with which to
fight leprosy at the Governments
leper colony at Culion in the Philip
pines.
General Wood, whose earliest tri-
umphs were in the fight against
tropical diseases in Cuba, was the
leader in the last year of his life of
an aliti-leprosy campaign. In this
country it took the form of an APP
peal for 100000. His letter was
made public with a statement by
Maj. Gen. James G.. Hartford, Ma
tional Chairman of the Leprosy
Eradication Fund, promising that
the campaign would go on to a sue
cessful conclusion, regardless of
General Woods death.

EXCHANGE VIEWS
MOST UNIFORM
ACTION OF WEEK
Short Session Experiences
Considerable Short
Covering.

BU tHtICU PFGSS
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Consider-
able short covering came into today's
brief session, giving the general list
a more uniform action than it had
enjoyed at any time during the
week. Wide divergence of views still
existed in the speculative community
and this situation was heightened by
the mixed character of the weekly
mercantile reviews.
Dun's reported definite evidence
of expanding activity while Brad.
streets pointed to spotted trade con-
ditions expressing doubt that the
January showing of general business
would equal that of year ago.
However these conflisting opinions
we're taken as evidence of the uncer-
tainty which invariably arises from
the confused surface movements in
the business months during the mid
winter lull. Nothing has happened
yet to change the outlook that the
country has ahead of it period of
reasonable prosperity and this fact
was reflected in the more comfort
able tone displayed by the principal
industrial stocks.
With gold continuing to pour into
this country from abroad and the
Federal reserve statement showing
rapid expansion in the Nations
credit resources, a strong ground
work was furnished for a drive
against an over-extended short in
terest.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Sentiment of
wheat traders was mixed today, with
a general disposition to be cautious
for the time being. Opening prices
were &c to &c lower than yester-
days close. Liverpool failed to re-
spond to the advance of American
markets and closed CSC to &c lower
today.
Corn opened 1sc to &c lower than
the previous close. Cash corn han
dlers are exceptionally pessimistic,
and freely predict a declining mar
ket. Several cars had to be carried
over unsold yesterday, and there was
general complaint of lack of ship
ping demand.
Oats are regarded by most traders
as in weak position, with indica-
tons of increasing hedging pressure
and further liquidation by tired
longs, while the market lacks specu-
lative interest. Prices opened I'M
changed from Fridays close.
Provisions opened higher.

j. s. AMBASSADOR
CENTER OF STORY
Germans Relate AneCdote
Concerning U. S. Official.
BV Times Special

BU Times Special
BERLIN, Jan. 29.-An anedote
narrating an adventure of Joseph
Choate, erstwhile ambassador of the
United States to the court of st.
James, is making the rounds in Ger
many. 1t has been revived by the
liberal German press in connection
with the recent reintroduction of uni
forms for German diplomats and is
meant TO ridicule the German gov
ernments explanation that only by
wearing uniforms could German
diplomats be safe against being
taken for servants.
Choate's story is related as fol-
lows:
After a brilliant banquet at Lon
don, where the ambassador of the
United States had been one of the
few guests in multi, he was accosted
in the hall by a bemedalled, uni
formed diplomat who haughtily ad-
dressed Choate, saying: Call me a
four.wheeler." Americas ambassa-
dor bowed politely and with a smile,
retorted: You are a four-wheeler."
Commenting on this ancedote, the
German press emphasizes that,
though Choates experience proved
that diplomats in mutt are running
The risk of being taken for servants,
the United States Government did
not feel obliged to introduce uni
forms for its diplomats.

WHEELING STILL
MAIN ATTRACTION
ON WALL STREET.
Shorts Closely Held, Imply
ing Corner on
Market. T.
BY K. Walter MOckler

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Wheeling
& Lake Erie was the absorbing in
terest point of the stock market
Friday. There seems no doubt but
that shorts are in dire straits as is
evidenced by the premium paid for
one-day borrowings. Starting at 1-16
of a point, the borrowing price ran
up to a full point, which means in
plain English that the harassed
shorts were willing pay 800 per
day for each 100 shares Of stock
owed. Traders who covered their
shorts in the open market soon ran
the price we'll above the previous
high record and found precious little
stock available even at the top fig
ures.
Closely Held
The position in Wheeling & Lake
Erie is embarrassing because a ma
jority of the stock is very closely
held. Apparently the stock which
came out at the full point premium
represented stock which had been
closely held. On the face of it
the market has all the ear
marks of corner, although techni-
20 II,r 4I,a ~, a ,Irat ie not corpornd On
long as stock can be borrowed.
Shorts have been called for delivery
and more than $4,000 shares were
bought on cash basis today, thus
insuring delivery. Stock bought in
the regular way would not be avail
able for delivery until Monday, max
ing one more day to pay the big
premium.
Outside of Wheeling & Lake Erie,
there was little in the way of
marked interest in the trading. Other
rail stocks were backing and filing,
while the main line of the bigger
rail and industrial leaders held only
steady. The undertone was firm
enough and moderate advances
were common.
Best Guide
Sentiment in the market is still
very much mixed The followers of
the long side persist in the belief
that the strong bond market is the
best guide and that the trend will
swing into the stock market again.
On the other hand, the bearish ele-
ment-and this includes a large pro-
portion of the PROFESSIONALISM
lieves that the tops for the move
ment have passed and that the mar
ket generally is in a liquidating pc
riod with pools distributing. They
quote the steady declines in the lead
ers from the years high points as
evidence of the value of their rea-
soning.

Says He Has No Plans; Denies
 Congressional Seat Runor

New York. Oct. 24 1P-Back at the starting point Of his flight 10 world fame and his o2.35o mile tour of the country, Colonel Charles A. L.indhcreh rested today without re- Ncaling definite plans for the future.
 "I have no plans," he said. I'm going 10 rest d few days and then make a short visit to Michigan. Aft. er that l frankly don't know"
 Tanned. bright-eyed and smiling the Lone Eagle oi the Atlantis swooped down out Of the sky over Spirit of St Louis at 1;59 o'clock yesterday afternoon, one minute in advance of the time of an appoint ment made on July 20 when he started a tour that brought him be- fore 30.0o0.o00 people in Se cities of the AS states of the union.
 Two thousand persons. including Harry r. Guggenheim, president Of the Guggenheim fund for the pro- motion Of aeronautics, under the auspices of which Colonel Lindbergh made his tour. greeted him as he arrived here from Philadelphia.
 After he had taXied 10 q hangar reserved for visiting planes. the tousled- -haired colonel faced a group of neWspapormcn. The flier's ex- pression indicated his pleasure at once more being free from a fixed schedule as he disclosed he had no immediate plans. but only a desire to drop out Of the public view for q whiIe.'
 In the few moments he failed to talk of his plane. Colonel J.indhergh spiked reports that he would enter the political field or join the depart ment of commerce..
 Won't Enter Politics
 "A bsOlutely not" he said as he was told of reports he might enter politics, possibly running for con- gross.
 You can make that as definite as you like,' he declared T have no intentions of doing that. When 1 hhO" myself what m gong 10 do. I'll announce it.'
 The colonel looked as good as he said he felt Clad in a blue worsted suit over which he wore a leathe, pilots coat, the t1for reelected per feet health as his bright eyes flashed in his tanned face. T never felt better in my life,' he said. "No. banquet food didn't seem to do me any harm"
 Plane In Fine Shape

 He said he would engage in noth- ing that would not further the pro- gress of aviation.

 While Stout was a sophomore in the Sheffield Scientific school at Yale he married Miss Elizabeth At kinson or WaXahachio, Texas, They live in q suburb Of Philadelphia.
 The youthful heir said that re- ports from Chicago that his fathers estate was valued at $25,0e0,Do0 were "all wrong."

 Lindbergh would not comment on the results of his trip, beyond saying the tour had proved the reliability of modern equipment. "others will have to say whether the tour was successful" he declared.
 The others" did. Statements by Mir. Guggenheim, William P. Me Cracken, Jr., assistant secretary Of commerce for aviation and Harry S New, general, told how the tour had stimulated interest in flying. In the air mail and in con- struction of airports.
 At the close Of the interview, Colonel Lindbergh. with d heavy motorcycle police escort in advance. on the sides and in the rear Of his autom obile, left for the home Of MT. Guggenheim at Sands Point, l.. l., where he will be a guest for a few days.
