 ''In the past five years about one and one-half million dollars have been spent in other parts of the city for elementary schools. Not one cent of this has been spent for new build ings in the Northend district, yet the residents in this district have of necessity paid their share of the burden of schools iii other parts of the city.

Boston. Nov. 2S UP)-Skimping and saving on household expenses so that small sums may be given to aid the unemployed is not d very good way to relieve the present crisis, the Massa chusetts emergency committee on unemployment was told today.

STATE CHECKS UP
 ON BUS DRIVERS
Some Fail to Mention Previous
 Arrests in Applications

A number O. public service vehi- cle drivers were given hearings at the office of the motor vehicle de- partment at the state capitol We'd nesday afternoon regarding alleged police records which were not stated on their applications for drivers li- censes. The question on the appll- cation asks whether the applicant had been convicted in this state or elsewhere of any crime other than violation of the motor vehicle laws.
 Among those who were heard were Albert and Jerry Albanese of 56 Maple street, employees of the Mastco lines; Andrew Balinsky, 24 Miller street, employed by the Yel- low Cab Co.,; Peter A. Agostini, 6S1 .>rch street, head of the New Britain Transportation Co.,. which operates tho. Arch street bus line and one Connecticut Co. driver. Numbers of were given hearings.
 Agostin had been listed as having been arrested some time ago. Agos- tini claimed that he had never been arrested and an investigation by the commission showed that someone else had used his name. His license was not affected.
 Others were questioned about ar rests on charges of breach of the peace and minor offenses while one wa asked about his arrest for walk ing on railroad company property. II was stated today that the drivers in this city might engage counsel to protest the action of the motor vehi- clc department because the arrests concerning the men were for mis- demeanors and not crimes.
 The action of the motor vehicle department is a continuation of the plans to keep a close check on the police records of men who drive public service automobiles.

LONDON-TO.CANADA
AIR LINE VSIONED
Geddes, Imperial Anyways Head,
Predicts Oceanic Span in
Five Years.

NEW YORK (P.- Establishment
within five years Of an air line between
London and Canada is envisioned by
Sir Eric Geddes, chairman Of the I'M
perial Always, Ltd, of London.
Judging by the advances which we
have made In the last five years." he
said. 'the route Is quite possible, run
ming by way Of Greenland and Lab
rador."
The extension of England's air routes
to the empire. he said, has been nee
essary because of the inability to de-
velop regular aviation on the home
isles, due to their size and weather.
I'VE have probably the worst flying
country in the world" he said, "shroud-
ed in fog and with short Winter days.
Practically speaking. also, If you fly 2
miles in any direction you are on the
map"
A link in the empire airways Joining
Australia and London "is not more
than two years away" he said. This
will make a route nearly 1900 miles in
length, through Delhi, India, to Sydney.
The one handicap of European flying
was ascribed to the fact that there Is
absolutely no freedom Of the air Routes
over other lands must be fixed by ne
gotiationS.

GERMAN AVIATION:
MAKING PROGRESS
Hubner Says Nation's Planes
Equal in Many Respects
Rest of Worlds.

German airplene development. though
blocked for several years by the terms
OF the peace treaty, has gone forward
rapidly during the past few years and
German airplanes today are the EQUALS
OF any others in all flying qualities with
the exception Of controllability and sta
bility in stalled flight, it is claimed by
Walter Hubner, noted German aero
nautical authority, in a lecture which
mas Just been published here by the
national advisory committee for aero
nauticS as a technical memorandum.
In general" Hubner said of the
Grman airplane of today, 1.-THE average
stability and cpntrollability about the
lateral and vertical axes have reached
very satisfactory state. Difficulties
are still encountered as regards the
stability and controllability about the
longitudinal axis. In Germany the
controEability in stalled fight must Still
be regarded as an unsolved problem"
Tanager Is Cited.
In this country some of the most
difficult problems controlling the flight
OF an airplane at Stalling speed have
been solved In the CurtiSS TanaRer,
winner Of the recent Guggenheim safe
atrplane contest, wing slots and flaps
and full floating ailerons being used TO
give control after the normal stalling
angle has been passed.
In judging the present state of Ger.
man airplane development" Hubner
said, sit should be remembered that
their period Of evolution has been q
very short one and that q great number
of technical and economical difaculties
had to be overcome"
The difficulties encountered BY air
plane nilots and laboratory trained sell
entistS In reaching common ground Of
understanding, which has been largely
overcome in this country, apparently
has been a troublesome problem In
Germany also.
AverSe 10 Theory.
"Pilots," Hubner says, have an aver.
sion to theoretical considerations. More
over, their vocabulary is so peculiar that
they cannot be easily understood by
formal theorists. The latter, thus left
to themselves, lack practical experience
which. In this particular field, cannot
always be replaced by any amount of
theoretical knowledge"
The chief purpose Of the German
aeronautical industry after the wa was
to attain great economy, Hubner ex-
planned. It was realized early, however,
that there could not be econmy without
safety, and 1t became apparent that the
development Of good airplane flight
was one Of the vital OBJ
jectS to be attained in civil aviation.

ALEXANDRIA AIRPORT
CLAIMED BUSIEST
Three Flying Schools and Six
Training Planes Use
Field Daily.

With three flying schools using the
field and six training planes operating
there daily, Alexandria Airport, operated
by Mount Vernon Always at Hybla
Valley, near Alexandria, Va, is claim
ing recognition as the busiest Virginia
airport north of Richmond.
The schools now giving flying train
ing to students at the Alexandria field
are the Mount Vernon School of Aero
nautics, which now has 20 students un-
dergoing flying training; the District OF
Columbia Air Legion, local flying club,
which has soloed % students there dur
Ing the past six months, and the Stand
ards Flying Club, composed Of employees
OF the Bureau of Standards.
All three of these schools have or
SaniZed glider units, and glider flying
Is expected to begin there this Spring.
The Standards Flying Club glider unit
placed its order for a primary training
glider during the past week, and de-
livery is expected soon.
Fifteen Mount Vernon students have
been graduated and have obtained their
Department of Commerce pilots licenses
during the past six months, according
to the field records. The District Of
Columbia Air Legion during the past
week put six students up for the De-
partment of Commerce flight test for
pilots licenses.
A program of construction and i'm
provement Of the airport Is being plan
ned for this Spring by e. w. Robertson,
president and field manager. Flying
activities will be under the direction Of
Robert F. Strange, chief pilot.

TESTING A|RPLANE
cONL|NG DEVICES
Experiments Made With Va
rious Types of Apparatus
at Langley Field.

The results of important tests Of
various types Of partial cowljng and
exhaust collector rings in connection
with radial air-cooled airplane en-
gineS have been announced by the ma
tionAl advisory committee for aero
nautics following service tests at its
Langley Field laboratories.
The tests, made on a Navy XF7C-l
single-Seater fighter. show that in level
flight, with an engine speed of 1900
revolutions per minute, the speed with
standard service cowling Is 144.4 miles
per hour; with narrow cowling ring,
1865 miles per hour; with wide ring,
1928 miles per hour, and with an ex-
haust collector ring, 155 miles per
hour.
Rates Of Climb Compared.
The rate of climb was found to be
cowlings tested. The visibility was not
materially impaired by the use of the
wide or narrow ring cowlings. With
the narrow ring and collector ring
coWlingS there was an increase in en-
CINE temperature, though this increase
was not sufficiently large to affect the
performance of the engine, 1t was
stated.
widespread interest in the cowling
Of radial air-cooled engines has pre-
vailed during the last few years." the
committee stated in it's announcement,
land the research that has been con-
Quoted pn cowlings has resulted in
large improvement in the performance
of airplanes equipped with this type of
engine.
OF Interest to Manufacturers.
Practically every manufacturer Of
radial air-cooled engines and of air.
planes using such engines Is interested
in obtaining cowligs which will reduce
the drag without affecting the cooling
efficiency, visibility, or accessibility, and
which can be adapted without many
changes to airplaneS now in service"
The committees experimental work
with the narrow. wide and collector
cowling rings Is q continuation Of the
work which resulted in development of
the famous N. A. C. A. cowling last
year, hailed as the most important con-
tribution to the increase Of aerody-
manic efficiency Of aircraft since the
World War.

SLOW-MOTION TRIP
POWERED BY OXEN
Plane, Minus Propeller, Lands
and Sticks in Mud
Field. w

Army Air Corps oficers. here are
chuckliiig over the story of two-oxen
powered Army airplane which Travelled
nearly a mile across country In Texas
recently. The slow-motion flight" was
in the nature Of an emergency mission.
Lieut.. r. D. Reeve, Army Air Corps,
was en- route from Galveston to Brooks
Field, San Antonio, In an Army OAK
observation plane when he suddenly
came to the unhappy realization that
his plane no longer had q propeller,
'long considered essential for sustained
flight" according to a report to the
Air Corps News Letter.
Lacking this important item Of his
airplane'S anatomy, Lieut.. Reeve took
the only way out. He landed. Having
done so, he found himself axle deep in
mud. No airplane could have taken
of, much less an ok minus its pro-
peller.
Gazing unhappily over the muddy
sea in which he was stranded, the
lieutenant saw a good solid field less
than a mile away. A yoke Of oxen
was obtained and, with the assistance
Of spectators, the unique cross-country
trip began. From the good field, after
q new propeller had been installed, the
pilot was able to take OF and shake
the mud Of Texas from his wheels.
