SEEKING AIR FUEL
TO PREVENT FIRES
Experts Hope to Discover
Non InfIammabIe Substance
to Run Engines.

LANGLEY FIELD, Va, July .
From the study Of tiny spray of OIL
research engineers hope to wipe out
the possibility of fire that looms each
time an airplane leaves the ground.
An epoch in aviation awaits the
development of an oil burning engine
to replace the gasoline type, many
vrmen believe, and the national ad-
visory committee for aeronautics,
esta blished by Congress, is at work on
the problem.
"A great majority of airplane fatal
tiles result from explosions" says
Edward r. Sharpe, chief clerk in the
committees Langley Memorial Labo
ratories. "A plane crashes, there is
an explosion, or gasoline comes in
contact with hot metal and is fired.
The planes occupants are burned to
death.
Want New Fuel.
"What we must have is an airplane
engine consuming a non-inflammable
fluid preferably oil. because oil of low
grade is not expensive"
But the development of such an
engine is not to come overnight. The
principle of the Diesel engine, an Oil
burner, is being studied and an illus
tration of the problem involved is
had in a comparison with the principle
of the gasoline engine now used.
Instead of producing power through
carburation. al in the gasoline engine,
the Diesel engine generates power by
COMPRISING a low-grade noninfiam-
mable oil into spray which goes direct
into the cylinders.
Weighs 1900 Pounds.
A Diesel engine generating 1000
horsepower weighs approximately
1900 pounds and is so large that two
fill the engine room of a submarine.
On the other hand. a gasoline engine
Of great horsepower is so small that
several of them may be used in a
plane. Reduction of the oil burner in
size, with preservation of power, then,
is one of the problems before
engineers.
An important problem is the form
and density Of the oil spray into the
cylinders. Two contrivances have
been set up which have attracted the
admiration of eminent engineers.
One, known as the universal test
engine, operates on the Diesel prfn-
clple and may be ADJUSTED so that the
performances 1t records are those of
engines Of various sizes. Differences
in the stroke, gear ratio. valve timing,
water and air temperatures and vol
ume of air are studied infinitely.
Seems Continuous.
The spray of oil, which is formed
and discharged so fast that to the
eye it appears as one continuous
squirt, is photographed by motion
picture camera at the rate of 5000
exposures per second. BY studying
these pictures engineers are able to
determine the shape and density Of
the spray.
"A millionaire with 100000 to
spend in an entertaining way will
decide one of these days to put an
oil-burning engine in an airplane,"
Sharpe said. Hell come to us for
what we know and after a time
aviation will have its oil-burning
engine. But there are enough prob.
lens to keep us busy for quite while

VICTORIAN GIRLS
CLASSED FLAPPERS
Lady Raglan Declares Fem
mines of That Era Were De-
cidediy Frivolous"

Correspondence VI Tue ASEDCIdtCu Press
LONDON.--Girls of the Victorian
EZRA were just as frivolous as the flap.
per Of today, believes DoWager Lady
Raglan, descendant of Charles II
through her grandmother, Lady La
yinia CORVALLIS.
Lady Raglan was a member Of Vic
torian society in its most exclusive
period. She discredits the prevailing
idea that the Victorian girl was strict
" chaperoned and never received a
proposal unless her sutton had first
asked permission from the sidewhis-
kered father of fiction.
Advantages Cited
"The truth is in those days mon
proposed direct to the girl of their
choice" Lady Raglan said. I'm some
ways the girls of that period had far
more opportunity Of knowing men
than is the case nowadays.
"Tho London season started direct
~ after Easter and ended in July,
after which young people met at
country house parties. Here they
We're given plenty of opportunity to
know each other.
True, debutantes were chaperoned
at balls. But that fact did not pre-
vent them from dancing as frequently
as they chose with their favorite
partners.
THE idea that girls in the Victorian
era spent their days in sewing seams
and practicing scales is another fall
lacy. On the contrary, those VINO
came TO London for the season spent
their days in Whirl of social en-.
gagements.
Dress, Not Sex, Was Topic.
Dress, not sex, was the great topic
Of conversation in those days.
Another popular delusion is that
the Victorian girl never INDUCED in
sport. Lawn tennis was a most pop
ular game. which was played ex-
tensively. Another favorite pastime
was water parties. Chaperons were
dispensed with. and the girls and
young men used to go down the River
Thames in boatloads and picnic on
the river banks"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 2.-The great test
Fourth of July exodus known in this
country since 1875 is now in full

rural districts to the cities.
Departures to Europe now are at
their height and so are sailings for

New Auto Models Coming.
The holiday will be utilized in the
automobile industry to put finishing
touches on plans for Introduction of
new m.dyear models and TO iron the
kinks out Of factory practices. Steel
industries are showing the gratifi~
cation over the firmness which some
products have maintained despite the
approaching dull Summer period.
Building construction is feeling the
lay-off, and showing it in the volume
of new permits recently applied for,
but the amount of work in progress
will mean that practically all the

100000 cubic yards of levees in

Mississippi Bids will be opened July
g. and work will begin just as soon as
the waters recede enough. This will
furnish employment to thousands of
idle farm workers.
Sewing Machine Demand Lively.
Business of the sewing machine
companies has been excellent, and this
is regarded as an unusually accurate
barometer Of national business prosper
ity. Nonferrous metal producers can
we'll afford to sandwich in a few idle
days at their mines just now, although
lead demand has picked up slightly
and more copper is being used.
Sales Of agricultural implements re-
Gently have been excellent, and this Is
reflected to some extent in the lower
costs of production and harvesting.
Electrical appliances and electrical
current sales have been larger this
year than in the corresponding period
of 1926.
Hide prices have advanced As per
cent in the last few months, and
leather quotations also have been
showed up. This has resulted in some
what narrower profit margins for
some of the shore manufacturers, but
demand continues good.

BUTTER MARKETS EASY.
Buying Rather Slow, but Fine
Product Is Being Received.

CHICAGO, July 9 LP.--Heavier
arrivals coming on a market already
well supplied are largely responsible
for an easier tone in the butter mar
ket this week and for resultant de-
clines.
Receivers are again sending the
larger percentage Of arrivals of fine
butter to the freezers because of lack
of active buying for storage purposes
and also because the quality of butter
arriving on the markets in the near
future will be adversely affected by
hot weather. Into storage movement,
however, was slightly below the cor
responding period Of 1926.
Pasture and meadow reports in the
major butter producing sections have
been most favorable.

While May. export trade Of the

was indicated by detailed statistics Of
the Commerce Department today as
the most prominent cause for the
expansion.
Nearly all parts of the globe took
greater quantities of American goods
during May, 1927. than during May,
1926, but the European buying showed
a greater proportionate increase than
that assigned to other territories.
May imports by the United States
also increased during the period, but

Effect

A fund Of 4s3.613.55, represent
ing the income for six months on
school lands, vas turned owe by
the state treasurer last week to
Mrs. Katherine A. Morton, state
superintendent of instruction, for
distribution to the various schools
districts Of the state of Wyoming
This amount is the largest to be
divided among the school districts
since the year 1922. when the semi
annual distribution plan first be-
came effective. The distribution
made last April was $433,505.66
and that last October $366.022.41.
The Total received by Park coun-
ty last year, for the two payments
mada by the state superintendent,
amounted to s47.671.51, and it is
estimated that the amount which
will be received this year will be
slightly In excess of $50, 100000.
The per capita distribution now
being made is s7.66, as compared
to $3.50 of last October and s6.7s
of April one year ago.. The school
population is shown to have de-
creased from 63.s45 in 1925 to
63.074 in 1926, upon which the al

MOOSE AND ANTELOPE
LICENSE TO BE ISSUED

For the first time in twelve years
it will be legal to kill antelope in
Wyoming this S This is the
commission which was in session
last week at Cheyenne. But 35
moose licenses will be issued and
the animals can only be killed in
Teton, Sublette, Lincoln and Ere
mont counties. Three hundred an
telope permits may be issued, but
the location where the animals can
be killed will the regulated by the
game department.
The game commission also en-
dorses the action of the presidents
recreation committee in recon-
mending the purchase Of additional
hay and pasture lands in the Jack
son Hole country. Another ruling
of the commission which it is well
for those interested to consider,
and hat is that no claim for dam
age done by game animals will be
allowed by the board unless the
nearest member of the game com
mission is notified within ten days
of the time of damage is done, and
that he is given an opportunity tc
Investigate the report.
The commission also passed 6
ruling that no fish fry or bah,

GLASGOW FINDS GRIZZLEY
OUT ON RED CREEK

Roy Glasgow. while making a
last trip over his trap line on Red
creek an tributary of the North
Fork. last week jumped a huge
grizzly up near timber line. Glas-
gov had only a small gun with him
at the time and did not start an
alteration with Mr.. Bruin. After
going to camp and borrowing a
heavy calibre rifle, he returned to
where he had jumped the bear and
jumped him the second time but
not at a place where he could get
in rifle range.
This is unusually early in the
year for bear to be out. and the
only conclusion which can be reach
ed is that the bruin had hibernated
under a snow drift, and a slide
had brought him OFT. Glasgow is

SCHOOL BOUNDARY
BOARD REJECTS
BOUNDARY CHANGE

A meeting of the county school
boundary board was held at the
court house yesterday with all
members present. The petition of
some twenty patrons of Powell
District No. 1, was presented to
the board asking that that part of
the district known as the Mantau
community be permitted to with
draw from the Powell district and
be consolidated in the Beaver dis
trfct . There were also present at
the meeting a number of the pat
rons OF the Powell district who
reside In and near the town of
Garland, who emphatically opposed
the proposed change and presented
a petition to the board carrying at
least a hundred signers also oppos-
ing the withdrawal by the Mantua
patrons.
After careful consideration of the
matter the boundary board, which
Is composed OF the three county
commissioners, the county treasurer
and county superintendent of
schools. voted to leave the bound
airy lines as they were.
d Mantua patrons claimed that
1t would be closer and more con-
venient to send their children to
the Beaver schools, while the pa
irons of the Garland schools de-
that they needed the pupils
OF h Mantua district to keep their
school up to the present size and
standards. and that should outly-
ing districts be permitted to with
draw from the Powell CONSOLIDATE
ed schools. this district would even
tually become greatly embarrassed
with the bonded Indebtedness which
1t is now carrying.
