Chairman of (. 0. P. Committee
 Will Cross Continent

Washington, Aug. 3 R1Condi- tions in the west and middle west will receive the first hand attention Of Chairman Work of the republt- can national committee in a trip across the continent, beginning to- night and pointed to the notifica- ton exercises of Herbert Hoover at Palo Alto. California. August II.
 For the first time since the con- vention. party leaders of all ranks from the Alleghenies to the Rockies will meet tomorrow in Chicago with Chairman Work and with Mrs. AL win T. Hert. a vice chairman of the national committee.
 Principal attention Is expected to center upon the outlook in the agri- cultural states which were hesitant in lining up behind Hoover at the Kansas City convention.
 Meanwhile, a definite decision on the proposed campaign in the south is in abeyance and this situation will be taken up with the return of MT. Hoover and Chairman Work from the Pacific coast late this month. Scouts are in the field in the south ern states and their reports will be analysed later.
 Dr. Work will have another con- ference at San Francisco on August 13 to which Pacific coast party leaders have been invited. Both the Chicago and San Francisco confer ences will include state officers as we'll as members of the national committee from the various states.

 KEY ID SUCCESS
Air Progress Must Come Through Them

Dayton. Ohio, Aug. P@Back of the crowds cheering the flying heroes are the mechanics and tech nicians who have made their ex- pioits possible. Seldom does iauda- | ton come to them, but the thrill of | achievement is as keen.
 Frank w. Caldwell belongs to that group. He is in charge of propeller | development for the United States army air corps and has had a part in all of the army's aerial accom- plishments. Caldwell designed the "miscarta' propeller used extensive ly on tri-motor Fokker planes. in- cluding the Hegenberger-M Maitland flight to Hawaii and the Southern Cross" journey to Australia. Miscarta is composition of fab- ric and glue. It is particularly de- sirable for tri-motored planes be- cause the air stream of the central motor overlaps the side motors, causing vibration. Wood and metal cannot withstand this strain.
 Others see the evolution of the airplane in its flights, its engines, its comforts. Caldwell traces the development in the pitch of the propeller and its composition.
 Today research Is toward a mag nesium propeller only two-thirds as heavy as aluminium" he said. We also are experimenting with a prop the pitch of which can be changed in flight"
 As set now. the pitch of propellers is correct for maximum speed, but in landing and taking off, when the speed is cut, the proper angle is too high. Caldwell explains.
 In 1909, when Glenn Curtis, the Wrights and other pioneer plane designers scarcely could get their planes off the ground. Caldwell completed his work at the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology and wrote thesis on airplane propel- lers. Since then, he has devoted his energies to that one phrase of aviation.

WOODCHOPPER
IN. LOS ANGELES
FOR NEGRO BOUT

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8 R-Paulino
Uzcudun, the Basque woodchopper, ar
rived here today with his handlers for
his outdoor encounter here February
% with George Godfrey, negro heavy
weight.
The Spaniard, who won from Quen-
tin Romero -Rojas, South American
heavy at Mexico City last Sunday,
gave no inkling after arrival here as
to where he will do his conditioning
for the scrap. 1t is considered likely,
however, that if he undergoes any in
door work, it will be at Jack Dempsey S
gymnasium here.
While Uzcudun was being acclaimed
by several hundred of his admirers,
his opponent was busily engag-
ed in knocking out two sparrirlg part
ners in a workout at a gymnasium
here. The giant negro, after the alb
breviated sessions with his sparring
mates, worked on the bags and other
paraphernalia for nine more rounds,
then called it a day. Godfrey condi-
toned for several weeks at Sopers
