one great trouble with regard to ad-
justing the pay Of officers Of the Army
and Navy, it Is declared, is due to the
fact that officers Of the Navy are per-
mitted, by their promotion laws. to
reach the same relative rank or grade
as Army officers ut much younger
age. Midshipmen must be two years
younger to enter the Naval Academy
than the cadets who enter the Military
Academy, the limiting ages being 20
and 20 years, respectively, which ac-
counts for at least two years OF the ale
legged discrimination. There y further
angle to this problem, and that - that
. large number Of the ofncers Of the
Army are appointed sAccnd lieutensnts
from the enlisted personnel OF the
Army or from accredited civilian mill
tary colleges and are somewhat older
than the graduates from West Point
and much older than the graduates
from Annapolis. The age Of an oficer

termines his ability or efficiency, but
rather, it should be the length OF time

EX-0FFICIAL OF CHICAGO

Oven of Gas Stove.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 25.-William Burk-
hardt, former State and city oficial and
brother-in-law of Mayor William Hale
Thompson. was found dead In his
apartment today, his head in the oven
of a gas stove whose jets were wide
open.
Two months ago he made similar
attempt to end his life. but was re-
vived by an inhalator squad. He lived
alone.
Burkhardt was SIS years old, former
deputy commissioner of public works
under Mayor Thompson and an ap-
pointee of former Gov. Small on the
AIllinois Commerce Commission. Ill
Wealth forced him to quit public life
Several years ago.
Two years ago Burkhs rdt was divorced
by Mrs. Florence Burkhardt q sister of
Mayor Thompson, on charges Of de-
sertion. She said his disappearance IN
1926, when he was found in a VAN
couver, British Columbia, sanitarium
after being missing for some time
marked the beginning of their break.
Mrs. Burkhardt now is visiting a mar
ried daughter in Rhode Island.

RESISTANCE OF WIND
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Speaker at S. A. E. Meeting De.
scribes Automobile Tnn-
mel Tests.

Wind resistance becomes a more i'm
portant factor in automobile speed as
Improvement of highways diminishes
the road and rolling resistance, and at
40 miles per hour begins TO overshadow
the latter factor. Prof Felix w.
Pawlowski, the Guggenheim professor of
aeronautics, University of Michigan,
speaking before the Society of Auto
motive Engineers recently, described the
manner in which automobile models
had been tested in aeronautic wind
tunnels.
AS result of his investigation he
states that lal ground effect" has an
appreciable effect upon the drag" or
resistance to motion of an automobile.
The wind tunnel tests of single model
do not permit the prediction of wind
resistance Of an actual car even for
comparative purposes, since the error
might be from ---3 to +21 per cent at
go miles per hour, or from SD to -+15
per cent at 90 miles per hour; (b) the
zero-lift condition with ground effect
would eliminate the induced-drag item
from the total wind resistance, con-
dition that might not always be fully
realizable; (c) the So-called perfect
streamlining is not very well possible,
as 1t would lead IL longer bodies that
would render the parking situation still
more acute. Id partial streamlining
rounding Of edges and corners, beveling
of tanks, streamlining Of wheels and
similar notifications promise con-
siderable reduction In wind resistance.
Prof Pawlowski further points out
that wind tunnel tests of automobile
bodies are somewhat erroneous, due to
the absence of cross-wind force which
tends to push the body toward the
ground. One investigation made in the
Aerodynannic Laboratory at the Uni
versity of Michigan, which was con-
Quoted with models of phaeton, a coupe
and sedan at wind velocity of go, 10,
30 and 80 miles per hour, showed the
effect increased the air resistance for
phaetons and coupes, but decreased 1t
for sedans.
These tests showed that in the case
of the sedan the cross-wind force takes
the form Of a positive lift of approx
imately the same value as the down.
ward force of the ground effect and
hence results in decrease of air re-
sistance. The effect of streamlining all
parts of the car exposed in motion to
the air current as a means of reducing
the eddy-making item of total resistance
TO motion Is to be made the subject of
q special investigation to determine
whether the resulting gain will be COM
patible with the necessary trouble and
increase in the cost of production.

COURT PROTECTS
USED-CAR BUYER
A. NJ. A. Cites Ruling of Mas.
sachusetts Tribunal in
Fraud Case.

The purchaser of q used or second
hand automobile, entering into a con.
tract which states that the contrac
embodies all the terms and conditions
Of the sale and that the car is to b,
purchased "as is" may nevertheless re.
cover damages in an action for deceit
according to the terms of an impor.
tant decision just rendered by tn,
Massachusetts, State Supreme Court
and reported by the legal department Of
the American Motorists Association.
Decision Important.
"The decision is of Importance be-
cause of the fact that upward of $500
600 used automobiles are sold annual
~" declares Thomas j. Keefe, general
manager of the A. M. A.
THE usual practice in the sale OF
secondhand automobiles is to take a
contract from the purchaser stipulating
that the car is sold as is, where is, and
as shown and that the seller will not
be bound by any representations of any
agent not incorporated in the con-
tract" the statement continues.
Notwithstanding this language" de-
clares the Massachusetts, State Su-

cover damages in an action for de-
ceit where the agent Of the seller made
Misrepresentation as to the condition
Of the car, thus inducing the execution
OF such a contract"
Reason for Suit.
The court, in rendering its opinion,
pointed out that the plaintiff had
brought his suit, not on the contract
or for the breach thereof, but in tort
for fraud, holding that the provisions
of the contract did not defeat a re-
covery of the damages sustained by
reason of such fraud.
Representations had been made to
the purchaser that the car was new
one, having been driven only q few
hundred miles, whereas the facts show
ed that it was q reconditioned auto
