|SOUNDPROOF CABIN
AIM OF EXPERTS.
Insulation Is Believed Best
Means of Attaining 0bjec-
tive at This Time.

Soundprooflng OF passenger airplane
cabins at present seems to be the most
feasible method of lessening this source
OF annoyance to air travellers, 1t Is
stated by Bureau of Standards re-
search workers In the first report Of an
investigation now being conducted for
the aeronautics branch Of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The report, prepared by v. L.
Chrisler and w. F. Snyder, covers the
work of the bureau in determining the
structure which will give the maximum
amount of sound insulation In an air.
plane cabin for minimum weight.
The work eliminated in test flights
made in planes with treated cabin
to determine how satisfactory the
structure was under operating condi-
lions. It was found that the noise in
the cabin was about the same as in
railway coach m motion.
Develop Exhaust Muffiers.
In dealing with the problem of re-
ducing noise in the airplane cabin the
Bureau Of Standards investigators
pointed out that 1t Is, Of course, desir-
able to reduce the noise as much as
possible at Its source and stated that
more efficient exhaust muffiers may be
developed which will contribute to this
end It also may be possible, they said,
to reduce somewhat the noise Of the
propeller. At present. however, they
declared, soundprooflng OF the cabin
seems to afford the most promising line
of attack.
The flying tests were made in the
cabin of a Fokker tri-motored plane
loaned for the purpose by the Army
Air Corps and in Ford trt-motored
plane furnished by the Navy Bureau
of Aeronautics. In addition laboratory
tests were made with 40 different types
of panels. Findings for each of the
types of panels are included In the re-
port, although no definite recommended
lions as regards any one type are made.
In the conclusion Of their report the
Investigators say:
Though airplane noises are intense
and there is a limit to the additional
weight that plane may carry, 1t has
been found that by a comparatively
moderate increase in weight the sound
intensity in an airplane cabin can be
reduced to a degree where converse
ton can easily be maintained.
Heat Insulation Provided.
sIt should also be noted that the
structure used was found to be an exc
cellent heat insulator, and should make
the cabin comfortable from the stand
uoint of temperature in even the coolest
weather or at high attitudes.
Sound insulation installed during
the construction Of the plane. with care
as to details, should give even better
results than those obtained In the ex-
periments described"

AMPHIBIAN PLANES
TO SURVEY ALASKA
Navy Plans to Complete Work Be-
gan in 1925 by Agriculture and
Interior Departments.

Three Navy amphibian planes, with
tender and barge, will be sent TO
Alaska this Spring to complete the
aerial survey of Southeastern Alaska,
which was begun in 1925 40 the request
of the Departments of Agriculture and
Interior. The planes will be Loenings
from the aircraft squadrons OF the bat
tie feet, with the U. S. S. Cannot As
tender. They will arrive at their new
base Of operations about May IS.
It is expected that r. H. Sargent Of
the Department Of the Interior will ac-
company the expedition, which viii be
commanded by Lieut.. Comdr. A. II.
Radford. The. expedition will carry q
graduate Photographic officer and prob
ably four trained enlisted photographers.
The unit probably will base at Ketch-
ikan, Juneau, Petersburg and 6itka dur
ing various periods of the work. Aerial
are to be made from an
altitude of 10000 feet with the Navy
T-2-4 lens camera. The area to be
surveyed comprises between 10000 and
Is 900 square miles. In addition to the
regular mapping photographs, q number
of oblique views will be made to show
timber areas and waterfalls for the
benefit of the Forest Service and the
Bureau Of Fisheries and also for future
reference in connection with possible
waterpower development.

PORTUGAL ESTABLISHES
NATIONAL AIR COUNCIL
Governmental Branch Will Study
All Questions Relating to Ma
tional Aeronautics.

Portugal has established a national
air council composed of representatives
from the various branches Of the gov
eminent and headed by the prime min
lister to function in an advisory capac-
ity as regards governmental activities in
connection with aeronautics, according
to advices received here from the Amer
lean Minister at Lisbon and made pub
lie by the Department of Commerce.
The council Is charged with the study
of all questions affecting the national
aeronautics. military and civil, although
administration of the affairs of the
army and navy flying services Is to re-
main unchanged. The council also will
be In charge of the dissemination Of
aeronautical information.

A new type of revolving and fitting
landing platform, designed to make pos
sible the landing Of airplanes on top Of
high buildings, is undergoing ground and

plane slides down the incline, aided by
the force Of gravity.
To accomplish a landing, an aircraft

means more weight. Between the
metallurgist and the designer,
however. the weight of the Diesel
type is being pared down to more
reasonable figures.

plane fuselage. This motor, which
was designed by DR.. Herman
Dorner, German Diesel author
ity, and Capt. l.. M. Woolson,
Packard aeronuatical engineer,
weighs 600 pounds, with a de-
velopment of 200 horsepower.
Piston Compression Explained.
The piston congresses air only,
the great compression at the top
of the stroke producing a tenn
perature of something like 1900
degrees Fahrenheit. The fuel oil,
in carefully measured quantity, Is
injected by a pump and burns
while the piston is virtually at
dead center.
In addition to the manifest adj
vantages accruing from the elm
ination of the electrical ignition
system, supporters of the Diesel
or compression ignition type of
motor claim many other points
of superiority for this type of
power plant for airplane use. The
fuel, they point out, is cheaper,
the mileage obtainable from a
vi or 0f &C. -,
and the fire hazard practically is
eliminated, the type of fuel oil
used being nOn-inf1ammable
under ordinary conditions. Re-
liability, they contend, will be i'm
proved vastly and endurance
flights of lengths impossible with
present motor types may be ex-
pected.
During the past week there has
been an announcement from Cali
fornia of another type of air
plane oil-burning motor which,
with a weight of 1000 pounds, is
said to have developed 800 horse
power in a block test. Little is
known here of the details of this
engine, though it is said to be so
nearly perfected that it's design
erS hope to have it installed in a
plane for flying tests within a few
weeks.
Oil-Burning Motor Under Test.
The National Advisory Com
mittee for Aeronautics is at work
on the oil-burning motor at the
Langley Memorial Laboratories,
Langley Field, Va, it's experiment
tai work covering this entire field.
Particular care is being devoted
to the development of the best
method of injecting the fuel oil
into the cylinder SO as to obtain
rapid and even combustion. This,
it is believed, next to weight, is
one of the outstanding problems
which must be solved if the
Diesel type of engine is to become
practical for aerial use.
While the development of mo-
tors of the Diesel type for air.

all of the problems faced by the

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. 3D.
The rather INDECENT and carefree
way in which Jack Sharkey and Bill
Stribling go about their preparations
for their coming fight make it diff
cult for even the real experts who
look them over to get real slant on
their form.
Since Gene Tunney, before his
fight with Dempsey, started the
vogue of training on the golf links
or in the library with book and
allowed his whims to regulate ls-
boxing schedule, the old-fashioned
ways Of judging fighters have be-
come worthless.
The result, in this particular case,
is that almost every one came to
the scene with an opinion formed in
advance. They came thinking that
Sharkey is a cinch or that Young
Stribling is in and they are still
sticking to their own opinions.
1t is our personal opinion that
Sharkey ought to win. He ought
to have beaten Dempsey and on
form he would have to have been
given a chance in a fight against
Tunney.
Both Like to Hold
But he has habit OF being care
less, vain or whatever name you
want to hang on it when he gets
into the ring. He has had some
great fights and some terrible fights
and no one can tell what his mood
will be in when he gets into the ring
with Stribling.
But as many bad fights as Shar-
key has had he never gave such a
bad exhibition as Stribling did
against Paul Berlenbach. 1t is the
memory of the fight that is prompt
ing some heavy money to be offered
on Sharkey.
It is our opinion that it may be
a very great fight or a terrible
fight. If it goes beyond five rounds
the strongest referee in the world
will be needed to pry them apart
because Sharkey likes to hold and
Stribling knows countless acrobatlc
tricks and holds.
"Pa" Satisfied
Dempsey told me he thought that
Stribling ought to win. "All Strib-
ling has to do is crowd him." he
said. 'It he stays on top of him, he
can beat him. But if he steps back
any, Sharkey will clip his ears Off"
"The southern newspaper men
Guy Butler, Fred Digby and Ed
Danforth-who know Stribling a lot
better than we do, think that he is
too fine. Pa Stribling, however,
