FORECAST TRIP
TO MOON WITH
ROCKET PLANE
Scientists Say Successful
Flight Reveals Its
Potential Uses.

BERLIN, Oct. 4.-Voyages through
space, from the earth to the moon,
or to other planets. are forecast by
the recent successful demonstration
of rocket-propelled airplane. In
May, 1928, Fritz Won Open, German
automobile manufacturer, demon
strated his rocket automobile. Now,
after further experiments, he has
built an airplane, propelled by the
same means, and shown that 1t is
capable Of fight.
Interesting as the method is, there
is little likelihood that it ever will
become a serious competitor of COM
bustion engines in terrestrial We
hicles, or airplaneS for use in the
lower portions of the atmosphere.
The rocket depends for its propul-
sion on the kick given by the ex-
ploSion.
1t uses its fuel, whether gasoline,
hydrogen and oxygen, or explosives,
very rapidly, but only small
amount of the fuels total energy is
available to furnish the necessary
kick"
Efficiency is Low
In other words, the rocket has a
low efficiency. Where the same fuel
can be used to apply energy to the
ground, as in the automobile, or to
the air, as with the airplanes, it is
better to use the wheel or propeller
to obtain traction.
In getting through space between
the planets, containing less air than
in the vacuum of an incandescent
lamp, however, the situation is very
different. There no air, ground or
water is available against which to
push and the rocket is the only
known means of propulsion. The
kick of an explosion is just as
powerful in a vacuum as in the air,
for the push is against the gases
formed by the explosion. In fact,
in vacuum, the rocket would tend
to travel somewhat faster, because
of the lack of atmospheric resistance.
American Started Tests
The theoretical investigations up
on the practical uses of the rocket
were begun by Professor R. H. God

GIRL GUARDED IN
 PANTAGES ARREST
Complainant Threatened, Father
 Tells Police Set

Los Angeles, Aug. 12 P>-Armed guards today were assigned to pro- tect Eunice Pringle, IT year old dancer, following threats of vio- lence growing out of the arrest of AleXande Pantages, multi million aire theater operator. on charges of attacking the girl in his office last Friday.
 Guards also were ordered to watch three material witnesses in the case after Dr. Lewis A. Prin- gle, the girls father, reported to Buron Fitts, district attorney, that three separate threats were made Saturday night that his daughter would be taken for a ride" if he did not take her out of town. He said anonymous voices over the telephone told him she had talked too much"
 The three witnesses, who have offices in the Pantages theater building where Miss Pringle charges she was attacked. told the police of the disarranged condition of Pantages' and the girls clothing as they saw her run out of the theater magnate's office screaming.
 Miss Pringle said she had gone there in an effort to get her act placed on the Pantages vaudeille circuit. The 54 year old theater magnate denied her charges. His preliminary hearing is set for Wed nesday.

 Well, run along" she advised. You don't want me weeping on your shoulders, do you? It is funny, you know. I never felt so much like crying in my life"
 The next day Molly went apart ent-hunting. It would be better, she decided, to avoid Bob, until she had a home of her own. When everything was ready for little Rita, she would let him know.
 She found a place in the Fenway, in new building. It was very grand, and very expensive, On the merits of the baby's nursery. she signed her lease.
 It was delft blue and buttercup nursery, with Mother Goose paper on the walls, and built-in, modern istic furniture, cut on queer, straight lines, like geometrical fig ures. It faced the east, and it's broad front was all of glass-a spe- cial kind.

 That settled it. Maybe it was q lie. Maybe she was stupid and gullible. Anyhow, nothing was too good for Rita's child.
 Molly's own bedroom was lovely. Luxurious and feminine. The car The taffeta cushions of her chaise- tongue were orchid. And thera were orchid organdy curtains that were the daintiest things in the world, with the morning sun streaming through them.
 The drawing room Was modern, and Molly hated it.
 But I shan't be entertaining she reflected. And the nursery is perfect! I adore my bedroom. And the bath is simply too good to be true!"
 She felt, as she signed the lease, very much like a movie actress, be cause movie actresses, she thought. all had swanky bedrooms. That was an idea she had from reading the soap advertisements.
 She wondered if her mother would consider a green porcelain tub immoral. Probably. But her father would think it was great. She must ask him to come and visit her. He could sleep on that funny cubist sofa in the drawing room.
 She decided to telephone Bob at his office, to ask him to bring little Rita to her She could not force herself to spend another evening with that Smith woman.
 But Bob was not in when she called. And, before she could geI in touch with him, she had encoun- tered Miss Smith in the lobby of the hotel.
 Hello" said strange voice. "I was looking for you"
 For a moment Molly did not recognize her.
