Resistance acts as a parasite;
that is, it acts directly to cut
down both power and speed. and
affects the performance of an
airplane in general, Thus it is
evident that the designer must
give considerable attention to this
subject, and also to the cutting
down of the amount of head eX-
poSure.
The amount of air resistance Of
fered to an object has been es-
timated to increase as the square
of the velocity. It will be seen
that at so miles per hour, the
atmospheric resistance is a hun
dred times as great as it would
be at 6 miles per hour.
It has been found that air cur
rents moving at the rate of l
mile per hour have an approx
mate pressure of .00492 pounds
per square foot. At the rate of
100 miles per hour the pressure
would be approximately 1872
pounds, or ten thousand times as
great as the pressure at / mile
per hour.
May Be Accurately Determined
OF course, working on this
basis, the indication of almost
any speed may be determined to a
very remarkable degree of accu-
racy.
The greater the amount of re-
sistance per square foot area ex-
posed, the greater the amount of
horsepower required to move the
same square area.
However, the increase in re-
quired horsepower does not in
crease in the same proportion as
does the air resistance.
1t has been found that the
amount of horsepower required in
creases as the cube of the veloc-
itcy, whereas air resistance in
creaSes, as the square Of the We
locity.f
At l mile per hour the amount
of horsepower required per square
foot is approximately .00001312 h.

for the settlement of the Sino-

According to the reports, the

and assistant manager of the
railroad.
Upon the insistence of the
CnlneSS QcleSdIeS, IL was QeClQeQ

BERLIN, Dec. 3 1.N.S) The
German government today issued
an official statement in which
it welcomed the steps taken by
the United States to settle the
Sino-RusS controversy in Man
churia by invoking the terms of
the Kellogg BRAND anti-war pact.
However, because of Germany'S
peculiar position as diplomatic
representative of both China and
Russia, handling the affairs of

government confined itself to the
bare statement of commentator.

%, At 100 miles per hour the
horsepower required would be ap-
proximately 1912 for the. same
area.
These figures and values have
little bearing upon this course
of study and are merely to illus
trate that the greater the resist
ance, the greater the amount OF
horsepower required to drive or
pull the craft through the atmos'
phere.
This, too, perhaps, will explain
just why racing planes require
motors of very high horsepower,
such as that recently built by
Americas racing ace, Lieut. AL.
Williams.
However, the amount of power
required depends upon many fac,
tors. 1t may be said that as a
general rule, the greater the
sruface of the airplane for a
given weight, the less speed neces-
sary to pull it through the air to
gain Sustension. and, therefore,
the less the amount of power re-
quired to get the plane into the
air.
A Series Of Compromises
The lesser the wing area, or
to use technical term, the
greater the wing loading factor -
the greater the amount of motor
power necessary to secure flight.
Airplane design at its best is
but series of compromiseS-one
or more things must be sacrificed
in the building of any type of
craft.
The final creation is derived
only by a careful arrangement of
many factors, Upon this subject
alone volumes could be written.
Here is a definition to add to
nomenclature:
Wing Loading - The gross
weight of an airplane, fully
loaded, divided by the area of
the supporting surfaces. The
area used in computing the wing
loading should include ailerons
but not the stabilizer or elevators.

statement to his close friend,
James Meehan, a betting commits
sionerj at 1925 p. m. on the
night of November 4, 1928.
The pair were standing in

Less than half an hour later
RothStein was mortally wounded.
He had been found dying IN tbs

Meehan told on the witness

McManus for the murder of
RothStein the details of his last
farewell to Rothstein in whose
company he had been most of
that evening.

went. He didn't say. He just

The current issue OF the
Catholic University publication,
THE Tower" gives credit to a
football player Of the 1929
team who richly deserves the
acclaim accorded him.
He is Carl de Mello, a bril-
liant backfieldman, who has
starred consistently in all but
one game of the Cardinals
schedule, and as he was SUI
fering from a shoulder injury
and unable to APPEAR in that
game, nothing can be taken
away from him therefor.
With the exception of the
William and Mary game. in
which he did not see service
because of the aforementioned
injury received in, the Rutgers
contest, de Mello was a con-
slant threat to C. U. opponents,
playing all four quarters of
every other game outside of
that with Boston College, in
which contest he was absent
from the lineup only a few
minutes.
AS the end Of the season
comes at Brookland, Coach Jack
McAuliffe and the c. U. stu
dent body as we'll, have true
reason to be proud of De Mello,
who was particularly a factor
in the Rutgers and George
Washington games, and gen.
orally effective throughout the
remainder of the C. U. sched-
ule.
Now and again one hears of
another Ty Cobb or This
Speaker, or Babe Ruth being
discovered for baseball and, &C
cording to Freddy Linstrom,
another Walter johnson has
been dug up in the person
of Ed Lucas, the Toledo rookie,
being groomed to step into the
box for the Giants.
The first time LindStrom saw
Lucas in action, he turned to
Mel OFT, his roommate, and
said, Mel, that big boy pitches
like Walter johnson. He has
the same easy side-arm motion
that johnson had and a world

Lindstrom knows JohnSon's
delivery pretty we'll, what with
having faced him many times
in the 1924 world series as well
as in spring exhibition games,
and it may really be that the
Giants can be looking forward
to having a Walter johnson in
their ranks as Lucas develops.
They are trying to drag Gene
Tunney back into boxing, but

These questions might seem TO
be well taken today in view Of
the obvious fact that Notre Dame
wouldn't even have beaten the
Army by z to 0 if eagle had
thrown his goal-line pass in some
sector where it couldn't have
been intercepted by the fastest
man in football, Jack Elder, who
thereupon ran practically the
length of the field for a touch
down.
Anyhow, they are questions
that a lot of people are asking
and, that being the case, it seems
only fair for Notre Dame to ask
a few Of it's own, namely: Could
the Pitt attack have functioned
any better on a playing field
that, having been frozen as hard

treacherouS?

In the same way, I think, 1t
would be we'll to accept the
testimony of Notre Danes vic
tory without crosS-examining it's
character too closely, particularly
what this team was asked to do
and did-over a season of
tremendous pressure and away
from home, at that.
The Pitt that beat Penn State
last Thursday and the Purdue
that gave Indiana the rough
dry treatment the week before
might have beaten the Notre
Dame of Saturday, but who
can say that the Pitt of Satur-
day would have been the Pitt
of Thursday or that Purdue,
Utah, Tulane, etc, would have
been the Pitt of Thursday or
that Purdue, Utah. Tulane, etc?
rated off their best day, could hope
to produce the same football on
the coolest football day of 20
years? incidentally. Penn State
and Indiana are not and never
were the Army team that made
that noble gesture two days ago.
This was one of two answers
to Notre Danes ineptitude. The
other was a temperature that
had Rockne'S famed backfield
coordination and rythm looking
most uncertain.
The boys simply lost their poise
on that corrugated roof effect
at the Yankee Stadium and,
strangely enough, the first team
backfield seemed far less certain
of itself than did the second.
