Injuries he received while work ing at Corbin Cabinet Lock plant yesterday afternoon did not interfere with the ambition of Arne J. D.. Danielson to become citizen of the United States and this morning he received permission Of the New Britain General hospital to attend the session of naturalization court. He was one of 57 admitted to citi- zenship and after the session he re- turned to the hospital
 While at work yesterday a stick flew off machine and struck him in the side. His body was pierced and he was hurried to the hospital. Hay ing completed all the requirements necessary for the citizenship papers he had been planning to make an appearance before Judge Stanley J. Traceski and U. s. Naturalization Commissioner Luther w.

Danielson and has been away from his native country, Sweden, only a few years. His par ents live in Sweden and within a month he expects to visit them. He will be able to travel with the aid of the citizenship rights which he received this morning.

The search for gunner speeded

In this system gravity Is en-
ployed to carry the gas to the
carhuretor. The gas is earned by
means of a short piece OF copper
or other flexible tubing. In this
system a com pm placem6ut for
fuel tanks may be in the over
head wing or in position back
Of the motor.
In the case Of trimotored
planes or other planes where
more than one fuel tank is neces-
Sary. fuel is sent TO the carpurtto
by air pressure or by q suction
operation much like that which
we find on our automobile 5ys-
TENS Today However, we shall
study only the simple gravity feed
system of fueling.
The carburetor is that part Of
the fueling system that changes
the gasoline into usable condl-
ton before it Is thrown into the
cylinder for firing. The gasoline
is carried into the carburetor
by means of flexible tubing. Once
in the carburetor, the gasoline
is mixed with air and then dis
tributed through a manifold to
the various cylinders for use.
Aircraft carburetors must oper-
ate under varying atmospheric
conditions. Temperatures, air
presSures and air densities caused
by seasons, weather and altitude
all affect operation of the air
craft carburetor.
Very close in relation to the
carburetor is the supercharger,
which usually takes the form of
mechanical blower or pump.
AS the air gets thinner or less
dense in higher attitudes, some
means had to be found to main
tain sea-level density at high
attitudes. This is supplied by
the Supercharger.
Both the carburetor and the
supercharger will be studied in
detail later.

How To. Fly
LESSON NO. 36
OF The Washington Times Flying Club
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
Aerondutiedl Engineer

You have learned just how the
power is obtained in either an
aircraft or an automobile engine.
The fuel. in the form of vapor-
lied gasoline, is drawn through
the inlet valve into the cylinders,
where it is compressed and ex-
ploded.
This explosion, driving the pis-
ton down. throws over the crank.
shaft, which sets into motion the
propeller in the case of an air
craft engine or the drive shaft
in the case of an automobile.
All the cylinders do not fire at
once, however, but in very rapid
succession, thus giving an even,
powerful drive to the crankshaft
But before taking up study of
the internal working parts of the
motor, let us first consider the
fueling system. how the gasoline
really finds its way into the
cylinders of the engine.
Has Hopeful Future
The fuel used in aircraft mo.
tors today is gasoline. However
the Packard Motor Company only
recently has produced for air
craft use a Diesel engine which
as result Of many test flights
has proved very successful. This
type Of engine Uses very heavy
crude oil. not unlike that which
is burned to heat homes and Of,
flee buildings.
This motor, which is still only
in experimental stages of devel
opment, is bound to play j very
important part in the expansion
of future aviation. No fc-ther
study of the Diesel engine will
be given in this course, but the
student should not overlook any
bit of information regarding this
type of motor.
Gasoline in aircrafts is carried
in light metal tanks. These
tanks, which today are made
mostly of duralumin, are placed
in out-of-the-way corners where
they will best carry out their
work. In many of the ligh:
planes the fuel tank or tanks
may be found directly back of the
fire wall between the pilot and
the motor. Sometimes they may
be found in the wings or in the
fuselage proper in various posi-
tionS. But in all cases the posi-
ton Of the gasoline storage tanks
and the fueling systems are de
termlned by the design of the
aircraft in general.
The method OF taking the fuel
from the gasoline tanks to the
carburetor may be one of several
t1obably the most simple of all
systems is that OF plac;ns the
fuel tank above the carnuretor

10000 BATTLE
IN \. !, STRIKE
By DAVID P. SENTNER

10y DAV HI 0GLN i NGN
NEW YORK, Feb. 10 q.N.SO-
The first violence of the dress
makers strike broke out today in
two miniature riots.
Eighteen strikers, half of them
women, were arrested.
Approximately half of the 3O,.
600 garment workers who an
Swered the strike cal1 of the
International Ladies Garm e n t
Workers Union last Tuesday par
ticipated in the outbreak.
Three men were badly hurt in
the melee which grew out of
picket demonstrations.
Leaders of the strike led a
march through the garment-mak-
ing district.
Police estimated that between
10000 and $4,000 pickets were
active.
The marcherS called on those
still working to join the strike. In
front of one shop controlled by
a communist union, the paraders
laid hands on the workers to
prevent them from reporting for
work. A free-for-all battle began.
A squad Of police broke up the
battle. Knives and billiard cues
were in the hands of some of
those arrested, police charged.
simultaneously at another
point a fight developed between
the police and a committee of
several hundred strikers. More
arrests were made.
