FANCY BARRO0M
IS RAIDED

What is supposed to be one of
the city's most elaborate bar
rooms was raided in the 1850
block H St., when members of
Sergt. Oscar J. Letterman's vice
squad outwitted the doorman on
the top floor of the building and
gained entrance.
According to records found in
the Speakeasy, Washington's lead
ers in industry and finance were
among the places clientele, while
one member found in an in
ebriated condition swore that he
was "a member of a congressional
committee" About IS persons
were in the room at the time of
the raid. only one. Patrick j.
Ahern, 26, alleged proprietor, be-
ing arrested.
Ahern, according to the police,
conducted the place and was
charged with possession and
maintaining a nuisance. After
being locked up at the First pre-
cinct he was later released on
bond. About seven pints of alleged
liquors were found.
Three other raids were prolific,
according to police, resulting in
the arrest Of three colored men
and the seizure of a quantity of
liquor.

Hoover's Geometric
Autograph Held
By Collector

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 GIN.
SO.-One of the most unusual
presidential relics in history to-
day was in the possession of
Thomas r. Madigan, New York
autograph dealer.
It is a sheet of paper upon
which President Herbert Hoo
yer scrubbed an amazing series
of geometric designs while be-
ing interviewed. The inter
viewer. whose name has not
been disclosed. asked the Presi-
dent that he autograph the
sheet instead of tossing it away.
The President obliged.
Impressed with the value Of
the autograph, the visitor dis
posed Of it and the slip finally
reached. Madigan.
In IS years of collecting I
have bought and sold thousands
of autographs, but never have
I seen anything like this said
Madigan.
The design, a maze OF tri-
angles, arcs and Spirals. al
though idly inscribed, clearly
show the effects of Mr.. Hoo
ver'S engineering training.

INDUSTRY HELPS
HOOVER PLAN
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES


Business as usual-and full
steam ahead"
These encouraging assurances
from leaders in the railroad and
banking world repoSed on Presi-
dent Hoover's desk today to
strengthen the governments eff
fort at keeping American business
on an even and prosperous keel
until it gets out of the waters
muddied by stock market gyra-
tons.
From the executives who con-
troll the nations railway systems,
Mr.. Hoover received assurances
that irrespective Of what contor.
tons the Stock Exchange may go
through at this time the railroads
area going full steam ahead with
upward Of billion dollars in CAPT
tai expenditures during the next
year.
From the bankers. members of
the Federal advisory council of
the Federal Reserve Board. came
the promise of easier money con-
ditions. which will prove a boon
Of ineStimable value to every line
Of business activity.
Business Is Sound
Each member of the council
reported that business and bank
ing throughout his district are in
sound condition, and the Lros-
poets were that money will be
available at lower rates" said a
statement issued at the White
House after all angles of the
present situation had been dis.
cuSSed.
This statement carried on its
face the plain intimation that re
discount rates are coming down
The New York rate recently was
lowered to AZ per cent. and it
was regarded as likely today that
it soon will go to four, which
will be lower than it has been
for years.
Heartened and encouraged by
these signs of basic business
strength, President Hoover was
preparing today for the third OF
his series of business conferences
at the White House tomorrow.
This conference will bring 9
dozen or more outstanding in
duStrialiStS to Washington to dis
cuss their problems with govern
ment officials. President Hoover
was not ready this morning tc
make public the list of those who
are coming, but it is expected tt
include Owen D. Young, Genera,
Electric; Alfred P. Sloan, Genera,
Motors. Henry Ford and men Of
similar type.
II the induStrialiSts echo the
assurances already given by the
railroad men Of continued high
production and normal expansion

today than in some years. There
is not much worry on that score.
The President plans to talk
employment with the industrial
lists tomorrow. It is a subject
that lies close to his heart, and
one as well that, in his opinion,
offers the only real danger spot
in the country's economic pat
tern.
So long as employment re-
mains at high level, so long as
there is "a Job for every man."
he believes the country can look
with considerable equanimity on
the gyrations Of the stock market.
Comparatively few people, in
relation to the population as a
whole, are affected by the fluctu-
atoms of securities prices. The
great buying power of the coun-
try, on which depends continu-
ance of prosperity, rests in the
large sense with the great mass
of workers in every line of en-
deavor. So long as they are EN-.
ployed they have money to spend,
and the purchasing power of the
country remains steady and con-
tinuouS.
Hence, in the opinion of gov.
ernmental leaders, the highly i'm.
portant point in the present stu,
alton is maintenance of employ.
ment at its present high level.
Railroads Will Help
The railroads already have
given assurances that their plans
call for the employment of even
more men than at present in
their expansion activities and
equipment orders.
The promise Of easier money
to industry is an open invitation
to the country'S manufacturing
enterprises to proceed confidently
ahead with their expansion &C.
tivities. Expansion means greater
employment.
And with the railroads already
lined up, agriculture on q steady
keel, it but remains for the in
ouStrialiStS to fall in line to
give a solidly reasSuring picture
to the country of the basic

Sinclair has been a prisoner in
the District Jail since May g..
serving out the time imposed
upon him. first. for contempt of
the Senate. and later, for con-
tempt of tie District Supreme
Court.
He got three months on the
first count, and six on the second,
which involved hiring of detec-
tives to shadow the jury that sat
in his mistrial on conspiracy
charges.
Time off for good behavior is
springing the prison door for him
in advance of Thanksgiving.
According to tentative plans,

Air, while not a solid or liquid.
is a perfect gas. 1t possesses
mass, weight, and inertia. 1t is
viscouS, that is, it's particles tend
to cling together and to retain
their positions with respect to
one another. It will flow just
like water.
Perhaps this seems hard to
picture, but If you will stand in
the wind as it is blowing, you
will notice how even and smooth
it seems to flow over you.
It is from exactly this condi-
ton of the air as it flows in
relation to an airfoil that such
lift is obtained-great enough for
wings to carry giant airplanes
weighing as much as 20 tons.
DETECTED Over Top
The air, or wind, as it flows
against the airfoil, will first
come into contact with the
leading edge; thence will be de-
Elected over the top of the wing
and downward against the lower
side of the wing.
Above the airfoil there is an
area of reduced pressure, or, in
other words. a partial vacuum.
This low pressure area acts as a
suction; it is this power that
holds the plane while it is in
flight.
This negative pressure area
offers from IS to 95 per cent of
the total lifting ability of the
wing in the case of the mono
plane.
The air, as it is DETECTED
downward, and as it flows
against the lower side Of the
wings, exerts a direct pressure
and is therefore known as posi-
tive pressure. The lower side Of
the wing then is the positive
pressure area.
This area is responsible for
from to Is per cent Of the
same total lifting ability of the

MuItipEane Interference
In the case of a biplane or
any multiplane-that is. a plane
with more than one wing-there
is an interference known as multi
plane interference.
This type of interference re-
duces the lifting power Of the
wings below what it would be in
the case Of monoplane wing of
the same square foot wing area
There are various methods used
to overcome this interference, in
part. The most common of these
methods is staggering the air.

something later on in the course.
The diagram employed in this
study gives a very clear picture
of the action of the air about
wing in flight. This applies
to all airfoils, with Of course
some variation, depending upon
the design and the construction
of the wings themselves.
