ALUMINIUM VENEER
PLANE PROTECTION
Coating Of Metal Parts Found 10
Halt Weather Effects, Says
Government Expert.

Coating Of duralumin metal parts
with thin film Of pure aluminium.
following proper heat treating and
quenching of the metal, affords the
greatest possible protection against cor
rosion embrittlement, which attacks
and weakens the metal after exposure
to the elements, 1t Is announced by
Henry s. Rawdon Of the Bureau Of
Standards, in technical note issued
by the national advisory committee for
aeronautics.
Light aluminium alloys Of the
duralumin type, that Is, high strength
wrought alloys whose properties can be
improved decidedly BY heat treatment"
Mr.. Rawdon explained, ARE Of very
great Importance, especially tn the
form Of sheet and tubes, for aircraft
construction.
The permanence of such materials
when exposed to corrosive conditions
such as may obtain in aircraft service
should be known, however, with o high
degree Of certainty and precautionary
measures taken to guard against any
possible serious deterioration In service"
Mr.. -Eawdon has conducted pro-
longed series Of experiments with vAri-
Gus types of duralumin alloys and with
many types of protective coatings, In
each case putting the specimen to the
critical test of exposure to the elements
under most severe conditions for .
period suficient to show the precise
degree of permanence Of each ccra-

LOS ANGELES, Calf, March &c.
Daring and imagination appear to be
two Of the outstanding characteristics
of the people of the Pacific Coast.
The latest manifestation appeared
this week when radio course In avia-
ton was started by the University Of
Southern California for those outside
the university. About $50 persons have
ALREADY signed up for the course. To
those completing the courses and pass
ing the required examinations credits
will be given which will count toward a
degree the same as credits gained by
resident students.
Five evenings Of the week, from Z
until 1880 O'Clock. members of this avia-
ton class will gather before their radios
to listen 70 the lectures. The course %

new AIRPLANE WING
TO AID MONOPLANE
Lightness Will Give Craft Decided
Advantage Over Biplanes,
Report Says.

Development Of new type OF mono
plane wing which Is said to give equal
strength with less than half the weight
of the ordinary type has been accom-
plished in England, according to re-
port received here by the Department
of Commerce from Alfred Nutting Of
the American consular service at Lon
don.
The new wing Is expected to give
monoplane construction an enormous
advantage over the biplane, according
to the report, and to lead, eventually
to the use of monoplanes for all large
commercial aircraft, night bombing
planes and flying boats.
The test wing, which has been SUBJ
jected to examination by the British air
ministry, weighs 30 pounds and Is the
size and strength Of wing Of ordinary
construction weighing 610 pounds. In
the tests the wing was inverted and
from it we're hung number of plat
forms on which weights could be placed.
Though the wing weighed but 27l
pounds, II Ii reported to have carried q
total weight Of $4,000 pounds withcu,
damage.

ment Of Commerce.
This trafic was heaviest on the inter.
national routes from Berlin to London,

NEW YORK, March l6-A hero Of
the seas has pinned his faith to trans
oceanic flying.
Capt. GEORGE Fried, skipper. Of the
America and rescuer OF the Florida and
the Antinoe shipwreck victims, believes
the next few years wiz see established
services for passenger and light freight.
Capt. Fried calls 1t overseas flying"
and believes that with the rapid de-
veiopment Of aircraft and the radio o
trip across the Atlantic will embody
few more dangers than a similar trip
by steamer.
THE multipie-motore airplane APP
pears to be the practicable method.
Dirigibles seem more dinicult TO handle
and more easily influenced by the ele-
ments 7 think four motors would be
the best equipment, with the ship able
to carry on with two motors out Of
commission" he says.
Landing Stages Scorned.
Landing stages are impracticable and
unnecessary, believes the man who has
weathered some OF the worst storms Of
the North Atlantic.
IAN ideal route would be along the
steamship lanes to the Azores" he says.
"A plane hopping Of from New York
could make the long jump to the Azores.
refliel there and carry on to Paris with
out any great difiiculty. ! scarcely be-
lieve landing stage would stand up in
midocean, and doubt that o pilot
could pick up so tiny spot In the
oceans exparixe."
Capt. Fried puts his trust In radio
beacons as aids to navigation for steam
ship and airplane With beacons estab-
tcfanAb at ctrafnCia r,otvSfc he core ~
would be possible for q pilot to keep
his course even In the thickest fog.
"A beacon on the Azores" he says,
would be sufilcient guide for o pilot.
He need only set his nose in the direc-
ton from which the beacon sounds loud
est. Eventually, and barring mechanical
troubles. he would pick up the islands.
Beacons from other points could be used
TO fx his position and enable him to
calculate his speed at all times.

look for overseas flying to interfere
seriously with shipping. Air lines will
provide an express service-say 48 hours
from New York TO Paris-but there must
always be shipping to care for heavy
freight and passengers in no particular
hurry.
Wireless and telegraph facilities pro-
vide for rapid transportation of mes
sages. but mail trains still must be run.
So the sea captain need not start look
Ing for another job just yet"
Sees Comparative Safety.
These developments are not for the
immediate future. Capt. Fried believes.
Aircraft design Is not suficicntly far
along to warrant an attempt at regu-
lar service yet. But the man who has
followed the sea since early boyhood
expects to live to see great planes wing
ing from east to west and back again
on regular schedule.

A|RPLANE. TO CARRY
ESQ IS PROpHES|ED.
Or. Dornier Sees Super-Pas-
senger Flying Boat
in Three Years.

MIAMI, Fla P).--Dr. Claude Dornier,
designer and builder Of the worlds
largest flying boats, says that airplanes
carrying 25o passengers In luxury will
be in use within three years.
DR.. Dornier is known as one OF the
worlds greatest creative geniuSeS In
aeronautics and his most extravagant
predictions of the past have come true,
many of them through his own hand.
He Is head of the Dornier flying boat
factories, which employ $500 men In
Germany, Switzerland and italy, and
now is building an so-passenger flying
boat.
The Dox, which he plans to launch
in May is gargantuan ship. larger
than anything sane optimists have pre-
dicted in this country.
Turn Imagination Loose.
Imagine an apartment house $50 feet
long built to house 80 people, offering
refrigeration, restaurant, reading
room, promenade walk and individual
compartments surprising the luxury Of
urious apartment house." with maid
and telephone service, flying through
the air at 200 miles an hour, and you
will get some conception of the giant
plane.
The German engineer is so certain
that his big plane will be successful that
he is working on two more. They are
designed to fly mail to South America
and carry passengers through Europe.
The Dox has wing spread OF $50
feet and Is powered by IL ninc-cyiinder
radial engines developing 5000 horse
power. It will weigh SO tons when
v,ni1o nd
be able to land and take of from a
heavy sea.
"Surpasses Amy Craft"
"It SURPRISES in size any heavier
than-air craft ever buih," DR.. Dornier
says. THE individual compartments
are as roomy as and even more luxuri-
GUS than Pullman cars. You can retire
and sleep with all the comfort Of bed
at home, with greater quiet than afford
ed on a railroad train. -Four Of the IL
engines can fail. and We still can ny on
with ease. We are Just putting the
final touches on It at my factory In
Switzerland"
He made a forecast as to ocean
mot until 1000 horsepower and
1000 horsepower airplane engines are
built will you see regular TRANSATLANTIC
aupldne passenger ScTVlCS, III. A<UIulct
said 1.-The nrst Transatlantic service
will be mail service, but we must wait
for bigger engines for passenger serv-
ice, Germany has been handicapped
seriously by war treaties which have
prohibited engine development"
DR.. Dornier came to Florida a. the
guest of Gar Wood, who plans 10 pur-
chase q four motored 24-passenger
Dornier super-Wal flying boat TO tour
Europe and Africa.
