IN SIGHT.
FOR 6. D. P,

A reunited Republican senator
ial party-once the tariff bill is
enacted-loomed today as a prob
able outcome Of the pending
shakeup in Republican committee
assignments.
It appeared probable Senator
Wesley L. Jones, of Washington,
would resign his post as assistant
Republican floor leader to become
chairman of the powerful Senate
Appropriation Committee. This
would be the opening wedge for
series of peace moves.
Senator Charles L. McNary Of
Oregon loomed as the party'S prob
able choice for the new assistant
floor leader.
Jones was virtually assured the
Appropriations Committee chair
manShip when Senator Reed
SmOot Of Utah determined to re-
tain his post as chairman of the
equally powerful Senate Finance
Committee. SmOot. under the
seniority rule. would be entitled
to the appropriations post.
With Jones named to the Appro-
priationS Committee, there will be
new chairmen on other commit
tees. Some of these changes will
make:
Senator johnson, of California,
chairman of the Commerce Com
mittee;
Senator Keyes, of New Hamp-
shire. chairman of the Immigra-
ton Committee;
Senator FeSS, of Ohio, chairman
Of the Public Buildings Com
mittee:.
Senator Gillett, of MaSSachu.

Committee.

sofa, will be made chairman OF

tee. He will succeed Senator
Edge, of New Jersey, who resigned
to become Ambassador to France.
Five important committee as
signmentS will be made too, with
the Insurgent getting a share of
them along with Young Guards
At this time, it seemed likely Sena.
tor LaFollette, of Wisconsin, would
get a post OH the Finance Com.
mittee, and Senator Johnson. OF
California, on the Appropriations
Committee. Both have been
claSsed with the Insurgents.
The Young Guard would get

Just as a very thick beam is
necessary to support and carry
great loads, so it is necessary that
airplane wings which are to carry
loads of many thousands of
pounds be correSpondingly thick
and large. In fact, you may even
consider the wings of an airplane
as beams.
OF course, the kind of work the
wing has to do determines its
design and construction. 1t is
certain that q wing for a racing
plane would not be SO heavy nor
so thick as that necessary to lit
q large freight-carrying alrpIane.
I have very often mentioned
wings carrying loads, and perhaps
you wonder just how this is done.
This is a most important thing
to know ands to remember for
anyone who considers entering
the flying game.
Wings in service today Except
Covered With Febric
metal wingS) are covered with
fabric. This fabric is tackled
fast to the wing and Sewed to
the wing ribs. 1t then in turn
is treated with dope" which
adds great strength and serves
as a protection for the wing
structure proper against changes
in weather conditions. This
dope" after it dries, gives The
fabric drum-like tightness,
which is primarily its duty.
The load of the airplane is
put upon the wings in the form
of either a positive" or mega
tive" air pressure. This you al.
ready know from your previous
study regarding the movement
of air about the airfoil in flight.
The first part of the wing to
take this pressure is, of course,
the fabric. From the fabric it is
in turn placed upon the wing ribs,
and from the ribs it is transmitted
to the wing Spars. then to tho
struts. and on to the fuselage or
body of the plane.
To give YOU a general idea of
the loads the fabric is called upon
to sustain, an airplane flying. at
the low speed of 70 miles per hour
will place q pressure Of about 21

Hartford Man Youngest

HARTFORD, Nov. % QN.SD .
When Major William F.. Ladd. of
Hartford, becomes adjutant gen
eral of the State of Connecticut
on January !, next. he will be
the youngest man in the country
to hold such a position. Major
Ladd had just passed his thirty

pounds per square foot on the
wing surface. This pressure is
then distributed as described
above.
Having now a good general idea
OF the duties of the wings Of any
airplane. it is now possible for us
to take up a more comprehensive
study OF the construction of air
tOilS.
Wind Tunnel Tests
The student undoubtedly Won
oers how it is possible for an
airplane designer to determine
the best airfoil or wing form for
a given set of conditions, and
how it is possible to decide which
particular degree Of cambered
surfaces are the most desirable.
This, as you have been told, is
done by experiments carried on
with scale models, placed i'll wind
tunnels. Through these wind
tunnels air currents of varying
velocitieS are forced by large fans
or propellerS driven by electric
motors or by a series of motors
which can be regulated within
certain limits.
The reaction of the air streams
in relation to the models, inside
the wind tannel is similar to that
Of q full,size plane. of the same
proportions, in relation to the air
currents of the same velocities.
This comes under the principle
or law Of dynamic similarity"

whose inadequate personnel can
not meet the business demands
are the Patent Office, Steamboat
Inspection Service, Bureau Of
Standards, Coast and Geodetic
Survey, Interstate Commerce Com
mission, sections of the Agricul
ture and Treasury Departments,
and the antitrust division of the
Department of Justice.
The Patent Office is far behind
on applications owing to lack of
sufficient inspectors. In the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, which per
forms an essential service to rail
road and road construction, map
making, engineering, scientific and
and clerical personnel were held
essential.
Heavy demands on the Bureau
OF Standards for research for the
benefit Of private industry have
overtaxed the facilities during
the past year, and officials said
that real dollars and cents saving
to the country would result from
increases in manpower.
Trained Men Quitting
Another factor contributing to
an almost epidemic condition of
personal deficiency has been the
comparatively low salaries paid
to the positions in the various
Government departments requir-
ing highly trained men. Many
sections of the Government have
become little more than training
schools from which employees grad
uate as soon as they learn their
jobs and thus become valuable
to industry.
Owing to the rapid expansion
of commercial aeronauticS there
is a large requirement for more
trained men in that division. par
ticularly for the inspection of
planes. pilots and of radio ap-
raratus used in air-to-ground com,
munication.

This was pointed out today as
an indication of the fundamental
soundness of business, and as
showing that steady increase in

estate of his father, Emile Berl1ner,
noted inventor, who died August 8, Is
left to the decision of the National Saw
ings & Trust Co., one of the executors
under the will, today filed his consent
in the District Supreme Court to the
admission of his fathers will to probate.
All the other children and helrs-at-
law have consented to the probate ex-
cepting the eldest son, Herbert S. Ber-
liner, also a resident of Montreal, who
Yesterday attacked the validity OF the
will and asked that issues be framed Tor
a trial by a jury as to the mental ca
pacity of his father and to his charges
of alleged undue influence by some OF
the other benef1ciaries of the will. The
eldest son was excluded entirely from
any share of the estate.
Probate of the will was requested a
few weeks ago by the widow, Mrs. Cora
Berliner, and the trust company, who
are named as executors. The will was
executed only few weeks before the
death of the inventor.
The provision in the Berliner will
about the son, Edgar M. Berliner, reads:

TRAFFIC BOARD
TO MEET FRIDAY
Will Confer With HarIand
Over Scope of Study of
Parking Problem.

The subcommittee on traffic of the
Senate District committee probably will
meet Friday to map out the scope OF
its study Of automobile parking prob
lens and other phases of trafic regu-
lations, Senator Hastings of Delaware,
chairman of the subcommittee. said to-
day.
The Senator will communicate today
with Traffic Director Harland to see If
he can attend a meeting of the sub
committee on Friday. The proposed in
quiry was urged several months ago by
Senator Kean, Republican, Of New Jer-
sey, who indicated he thought more re-
strictions should be placed on parking
in Washington.
The first meeting of the subcommit-
tee will be confined to talking over
with Director Harland the question of
how wide the scope of the Subcommit-
tees investigation should be. Senator
Hastings is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
to having traffic experts make a thor
ough study of parking and other trafhc
problems here, as compared with other
cities, as q preliminary step to the
holding of hearings by the subcommit-
tee. The Senator believes that In this
way the subcommittee would have def
mite recommendations on which to seek
public opinion at the hearings.

The Geological Park, which is under
the Jurisdiction of the Smithsonian In
stitution, must give up a strip of land
on the left bank of Rock Greek to make
way for the Rock Greek and Potomac
Parkway, now under construction. This

velopment of air transportation between
the countries of North and South
America.
Upon its arrival in Montevideo the

passenger service on the line between
that city and Buenos Aires. The plane
is the fourth addition to the feet OF
the New York, Rio and Buenos Aires
Line. The company on January 1, 1890
plans to open service from New York
