AIR OFFICERS SEE
WING SLOT TESTS
Safety Device to Prevent
Plane Stalls and Spins
Demonstrated Here.

The Handley-Page automatic wing
slot. q Brittsh-conceived device for pre-
venting stalls and spins to aircraft IN
flight, recently adopted experimentally
by the Navy on all of its Standard-type
service planes. was given demonstra-
ton at the Naval Air Station, yester-
day afternoon by Capt. Holden C. Rich
ardSon. chief Of the material and design
section of the Bureau Of AeronauticS.
Plotting a Consolidated Navy training
seap!ane powered with Wright "Whiri-
wind" engine. Capt. Richardson deliber-
ately sought TO stall the plane, but the
automatic wing slots prevented. thereby
saving him from a deadly tail spin and
crash in the Potomac River.
MofTett Lauds Device.
While the theory of the wing slot has
been generally known among air officers
here for several years. to most OF them
yesterdays demonstration was the first
concrete evidence they had Of the de-
vices effectiveness. Rear Admiral VIII

demonstration, terming the wing slot as
'one of the greatest safety devices ever
invented for aircraft"
to increase. when necessary. the lifting
capacity of the wing and to prevent
'burbling." the cause OF loss OF lift at
the usual stalling angle 1t consists
OF an auxiliary wing panel. about 3
inches wide and running the length Of
the leading edge of the wing and under
normal flying conditions it remains fas-
tened TO the wing.
Slof prevenfs Stall
When. however. the speed Of the
plane Is reduced beyond q certain point
necessary to keep 1t afioat, the slot Is
forced open by air pressures and this
auxiliary leading edge Is projected sew
eral inches In advance of the permanent
wing. In this position. 1t affects the
now Of air against the wing. increases
Its lifting power and prevents the stall.
While functioning. the plane may still

in climbing. but It win settle slowly
Capt. Richardson gave about eight DEM
onstrations OF this condition. ending II
by dropping almost to the surface OF the
water before he brought 1t TO normal
landing position and settled smoothly
on the Potomac.
Patent rights were acquired by the
Navy for its service planes from British

CLAIMS IMMUNITY
H|NDERS DRY WORK
Prohibition Officer Holds Di.
pIomatic Privileges Block
Night Club Enforcement.

Diplomatic immunity makes 1t difficult
not only for prohibition agents. but for
keepers OF night clubs TO enforce the
national prohibition act in Washington,
declared Maj Herbert II. White, field
supervisor OF the prohibition depart
ment and former prohibition admins
traitor for the District. who testified to-
day fol the Government In the hearing
OF the charges that the law was violated
by patrons OF lie Parsdis Cafe. who
poured liquids from private TASKS into
"set-ups" furnished by the management
OF the cafe.
Maj. White said he told Meyer Davis
president OF the National Cafes. Inc.
which operates lie Parsdis. that he ap-
preciated the difficulty which beset the
cafe management in not being able to
distinguish By reason Of diplomatic
immunity what persons were entitled to
have liquor and who were not SO en-
titled. Maj. White was narrating the
details of an interview with Meyer Davis
at the prohibition Office December %.
1928. when Davis. with Attorney
Lawrence koenissberger. sought an
interview.
ShtmS DAVIS N0tIne0.
Mr.. Davis told him. the witness said.
that he was willing TO cooperate with
the department In preventing violations
OF the law. and was doing everything
In his power TO that end Mai White
tnen detailed TO Mr.. Davis he said. the
reports made by his agents Is TO things
they had seen at the cafe
Davis inquired OF the witness as 10
what he was expected 10 do to keep
within the law. but Maj. White said he
would take the responsibility OF advis-
ing him, for fear that the cafe operator
might "alibi" himself by saying he had
done as directed. Maj Whites testi-
mony was TO show that Davis had been
notified that there had been violations
OF the law at the cafe.
Saw Many Bottles.
Attorney Morris Simon for the cafe
management concluded today hts cross
examination of Daniel p. Lyons prohi-
bition agent. who accompanied Mrs. II
| K. Mansfield. policcwoman, on four
trips TO the cafe. He failed to corrobo-
rate the testimony Of Mrs Mansfield In
several particulars.
He was sure he saw IS empty bottles
under tables as he was leaving the cafe
on one OF the visits. Attorney Morris
brought out that some OF the bottles
we're seen by the witness az early ~
II O'Clock In the evening and were st.ll
In evidence when he left at 2 O'Clock
| In the morning.
Justice Hatfield took a hand in the
inquiry and asked the witness II the
same bottles remained under the tables
throughout that period. The witness
| answered some of them" Simon then
tnattfFeA ~ the Tables hsA nat hasn

ACACIA was chartered i'm 1869 as
"A a local mutual relief assOcia-
ton. In 1893 when William Mont
gOmery, now president, first came
with the Association, he was its only
emplOye. 1t then had but 600 men,
bers and only S36O,OOO insurance in
force.
1t was not until Is years ago, in
1903, that the foundation for
ACACIA'S real growth and stability
was laid. In that year Congress
granted an amendment to its
charter requiring it to maintain
the Legal Reserve on all of its
policies thereafter issued.
With the maintenance of the Legal
Reserve assured, ACACIA embark
ed upon an era of progress which
has been the marvel of the insur-
ance world. 1t has risen from "the
