STRONGER WINGS

Experts Trying to Strengthen
 Airplanes

Washington. July tP - Patient work at the bureau of standards is gradually evolving a solution for the problem of aluminium corrosion which greatly increase the utility Of aircraft.
 Airplane wings constructed of "doped" cloth stretched over wood en frame are fragile things. To the layman, it has long seemed that the strength and durability of the wings would " greater if the frames were made of steel or some alumin- um alloy,
 The possibilities of metal wings, however, have been greatly re- stricted by the disposition of the complex alloys 10 corrode and ruin the expensive fabrics even more rapidly than the conditions of oper- ation have worn out the cloth and wooden structures.
 The bureau workers, aided by in- dustrial laboratory experts and equipment, have been seeking a so- lution of the metal difficulties for some time. They have determined that, if duraluminum, one of the aluminium alloys of sufficient light ness and strength for plane wings, is coated with pure aluminium by metal sp:ly process, it can stand even salt water exposure for year without deterioration.
 Some experts are hopeful that by adding d corrosion resistant to the material through special treatment of the alloy duril 6, preparation and by coating it afterwards it will be possible to produce all-metal air craft that will be fire proof and dur able.

 This is the announcement of of icials of the departments of An iquities and fine arts to which Yas entrusted realization of the 'roject.
 Extensive exacavations have been arried out in the forums of Angus Us. Trajan and Nerva the theater f Marcellus and the Mausoleum of Augustus. A large quantity of archaeological treasures, the exist pnce of which in some cases was nnsuspected, were found.

 Digging into the forum of Angus Jus, which now is entirely free Of encumbrances, produced the base ment Of the Marte Vendicatore Temple. parts of two triumphal arches. part of 5o-foot colossal statue, rooms spledidly decorated in marble. and 2. mediaeyal castle, as well as immune erable fragments of mossics and statues. Similar finds were made at Nerya and Trajan forums where excavations are con- tnuing.
 Difficulties have been overcome in probing into the Augustan mau- soleum which lies under Rome's principal concert hall, thereby ne cessitatine the restriction of arch acological activities to summer sea ons when there are no concerts.
 llt HiUSL ulDltlOuS MpI tllhS ar has been the restoration of the Narcellus Theater which when fin Shed-it is admitted will take many years-will vie in impressive ness with the Coliseum. A large section of the old Ghetto. full of .angled. narrow streets, which has been one of the eye-sores of mod srn Rome, has been torn down turing the past year in order to re- lease the magnificent playhouse built by Caesar and Augustus.
 In labyrinth. reeking with pud- ,iles have been found several well preserved Roman remains. such IS a portico of the well of Octavus and a, number of early medieval houses, which will be left standing.

POPULATION IS
 SHOWING CHANGES
Shifts From City to Country and Vice Versa

Washington, July s tP-Two de- velopments have brought a .ull to the storm over farm depopulation.
 In a report to the president Will liam NJ. Jardine. secretary of agrI- culture, outlines d five year sur vey showing that no matter how great the farm-to-c -city rush, there is always a backward stroke of the pendulum.
 "A reasonable interchange ot population between city and coun- try" he told the chief executive, lis a benefit to society. It is only the extent of excess movement from farm to city that is disturbing.
 The other ray of light is lnfor- nation reaching the federal bureau of agriculture economies that 9S per cent of a. number of farm boys an swerius a questionnaire salo theH preferred farming as a means oi livelihood.
 Growing determination or the vounger rural generation 10 max the farm pay" was typitied al 'he IT c1,b national encampment here'
 Olin Butler, Oklahoma cane lo inc Washington camp as an e>po, ment of the "stay on the larl' movement. He has been honoreo Cor n;s work in agricultural science
 Continuing in his report 10 ,Ii' nresident, Secretary Jardihe es'' mates the farm population as oi Ian. 1. 1928, at 100000 men, "o- men and children.
 Tn normal times" the secretary said. there is a constant ihtsi change of population between 'he country and the city. As tanners rntire 10 cities. so city people re- fire to the farms; laborers moNr hack and forth, and a stream oA vouth of both sexes goes per'ii' nent1v from farms to cities
 "All agencies seeking 10 promote tbe general welfare, whether rural or urban, should work together 'o reduce to- minimum the heNl'a- ble dislocations due to this inter- change"
 It is estimated that the gross from farms to cities since Jan. i. 1922, has been slightly more than 2.000,0O0 persons annually. There is a certain backflow, but It. tie is known of its average size. figures show 2.O35,oV0 persons moved from rural communi- ties to cities. towns and villages in 1925. The reverse movement to farms is estimated at 1,135, 1000, leaving a net movement of 9o1,ooo persons away from the farms. But farm births are estimated at TO- 900 as against 2SS,000 deaths. re- lucing the actual loss due to the ,ityward movement to 479.0oo per sons.
 Students of the situation find 1t an economic impulse, constituting m index to agricultural conditions. Rise and decline of farm prices, taxes and supply and demand as -elated to farm products enter into he question.
 "The large movem ent back to the arms in 1924 and 1925" Secretary Tar1ine said, "doubtlessly included iome persons who had sold their arms in recent years. but were obliged to take them back because 'f the failure of promised pay

ments It dcubtlessly also included many farm owners who found after afford 10 live in the city on the rent ais Of their farms. There probably were many laborers and former farm tenants who had failed 10 find their expectations fulfilled in the cities"
