new DEVICE AN AID
IN RECORD FLIGHT
TranscontinentaI Feat by
Capt. Hawks Largely Due
to Engine CoWIing.

The record transcontinental fight OF
IS hours 81 minutes and SO seconds
made this week by Capt. Frank Hawks
was due largely to the new engine cowl-
ing devised by the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics, he has adj
vised the governmental research body.
Hawks Lockheed monoplane is the first
plane to use the cowling outside the
governments test laboratories at Lang
ley Field, Va.
Not only did the cowling increase the
speed of his plane by 90 miles per hour
and consequently decrease gasoline and
oil consumption by the same amount,
Capt Hawks reported, but it provided
perfect cooling for the motor through
out the fight. The pilots report to the
committee follows:
''Lockheed air express. Pilot Frank
Hawks, which Just established new Los
Angeles to New York nonstop record,
equipped with N. A. c. A. cowling, which
increased its speed 20 miles per hour
from 157 to 1T miles per hour. Cool
ing carefully checked and o. K. Record
impossible without new cowllng. All
credit due N. A. c. A. for painstaking
and accurate research and generous
policy"
Statement of Capt. Hawks.
In announcing the report of Capt.
Hawks, the advisory committee made
the following statement:
This is the first commercial applica-
ten of this type of cowling. 1t was
first applied to an Army airplane, and
the increase in speed which was report
ed was so great as to be received III
certain quarters with skepticism. This
long distance flight by commercial air
plane fully confirms the claims made
in the original report, the increase in
speed being the same as that obtained
by the National Advisory Committee with
the Army airplane.
THE air-cooled radial engine is used
almost exclusively on commercial type
airplanes, its great advantages being
less weight than is possible with a
water cooled engine and the elimination
of the radiator and other accessories
necessary in water-cooled engines. It
has the disadvantage. however, of a
large frontal area, which produces in
creased resistance. 1t was plain that If
the Government could find a method
for reducing this resistance it would be
OF great assistance in the development
States.
IGselages deliberately Tested.
Gan elaborate series of tests of full
sized fuselages and engines with various
types OF cowling was made by the Ma
tiona1 Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics In its propeller research tunnel
ct Langley Field Va, and special
form OF cowling was developed which
not only reduces the head resistance of
the engine by entirely inclosing it, but
also provides positive cooling of the
engine cylinders by controlling the air
flow about them. Further, the air used
in cooling the engine is released through
a slot on the surface of the fuselage in
such manner as not to disturb the air
now over the airplane.
I'm the opinion of the committee. this
Is the greatest single advance that has
been made in improving the efficiency
of commercial type airplanes using air.

by these Fine Car
Features
SPEED AND POWER

Engine Oldsmobile's big six-cyhnder
high-compression engine now develops
81 horsepower. It provides power for
every need-speed for any
and truly remarkable acceleration in all
gears.
Progressive Engineering Piston pins are
pressure-lubricated through rifle drilled
connecting rods. The crankcase 10
double~ribbed to assure rigidity and
permanent bearing alignment. The
erankshaft is drop~forged from heat
treated high~carbon steel and is balanced
both at rest and in motion. The engine
rides on special rubber mountings.
Lubrication The lubricating system is
pressure fed to all main, connecting rod
and camshaft bearings as we'll as to the
piston pins, with spray to other parts.
Il 10 protected by = crankcase ventilator
and oil filter.
Cooling 10 thermostatically controlled
and has been made more efficient than
ever. The radiator is protected by YER
tical radiator shutters. And these have
been extended entirely to the top of the
she'll innovation recently intro
duced by two of the highest priced cars.
Fuel System Gasoline is pumped to the
earburetor under pressure by a motor
driven fuel pump. The carburetor is
protected by a gasoline strainer, sedi-
ment cup and air cleaner.
QUIET OPERATION
Sile,ced Chassis Oldsmobile's sturdy
chassis is rubber-siienced. Other factors
which assist in eliminating chassis noises
are the doub1e-cushioned universal joint
system, spring-cushioned clutch core and
self-adjusting spring shackles.
Silenced interior layer of special
sound ~deadening insulating material
placed between the body and the chassis
creates \ silenced interior.
Fabric Beading -Generous use of fabric
beading in the body. where metal would
otherwise meet metal, prevents squeaks.
DEPENDABILITY
Frame - One of the chief factors of long
life and dependability in the 1929 Olds-
mobile is its rigid frame, formed of
heavier gauge steel with channels so
inches deep, flanges ~ and , inches re-
spectively, and five sturdy cross~mem-
bers.
Brdkes-Quick, positive-acting four

are internal expanding rear wheels,

 ED TO INCREASE GOVERN MENT TAXATION

WASHINGTON, Aug, 26, P)- Approximately $4O,OOO,OOO in esti- mated revenue was pruned from the house tariff bill schedules by the senate finance committee, ac- cording to analysis of the measure made by Chairman Reed Shoot.
 The chairman's figures show, however, that other changes in the measure are designed to increase government taxation upon imports to the extent of some $89,O00,000 over the estimated total of the house measure.
 Senator Shoot estimates that schedules have been increased about two percent on an average over the house figures A total of 360 changes were made by the committees. A long senate fight over the measure is anticipated.

AMERICANS NEVER
 WALK, WOMAN SAYS
Polish Enyoy's Wife Surprised
 at Dislike Of Exercise

Washington, Nov. LP)-Outdoor exercise and social welfare work are the two hobbies of Madame Tytus Filipowicz, wife of the new minis ter from Poland.
 Coming from a land where they raise lady throwing cham pons, she wonders mildly at the many women rolling by in limou- sines.
 She has heard much of Helen Wills but she has seen comparative ly few women here leaping after the elusive ball. On her daily rambles in the parks she meets few women pedestrians outside Of the wives and daughters Of diplomatic corps mem- bers.
 From the windows of the big le- gation. madame looks out occasion ally and asks:
 Where are the Americans who walk?"
 Although she has a 16 year old son attending school in Warsaw. madame's figure is as supple and slender as that of girl. Her eyes are clear and sparkling. Pink cheeks attest the daily long walk and game of tennis.
 Sitting on a gilt and satin sofa beside tea table, she talked of the women of Poland and was sur prised that discus-throwing is not the popular sport here that it Is there. A feature of American life which she greatly admires is the country club. Although she enjoys exercise. Madame FilipoWicz likes also game of cards or a chat on q wide veranda or in club rooms.
 She craves these luXuries for the women of her own war-torn country.
 Alas. we have few clubs there" she says wistfully. we have been too busy since the war building apartment houses for living pur- poses. We have neither time nor money for recreation places like country clubs. ] hope the time will come when women of Poland can have these pleasures"
