TRIP TO MOON

VIEWED LIKELY
Scientist Predicts Speed of
$4,000 an Hour by
Year 2050.

BIZ Science Serrice
BROOKLYN, N. Y, April 12.-By
the year 2050, earth-dwellerS prob
ably will be able to travel TO the
moon, and TO communicate with
their terrestrial home by telephon-
ing over beam of light They will
get there by travelling in a rocket
ship at a speed of some $4,000 miles
an hour, but far sooner, probably
1850, it is likely that a speed of
! 1000 miles an hour will be possible.
These we're the predictions made
here Friday night by DR.. John O..
Stewart, associate professor of as
Economical physics at Princeton
university and author of leading
astronomical textbook.
Speaking before the Brooklyn In
stitute of Arts and Sciences. DR..
Stewart made what he called an
educated guess" about the future
of rocket travel through inter-plan-
etary space.
Estimates Rocket Speed
"The speed of a rocket-propelled
space navigating cruiser will pre-
sumably be of the order of $4,000
miles per hour" declared DR.. Ste
wart. This is the speed at which,
neglecting air resistance, a projec-
tile would have to be fired upward
in order to travel to a height indie
f1nitely great.
Study of the increase in speeds
Of passenger-carrying vehicles dur
ing the past century leads to a
guess at the date when such a
speed will be realized. The year
2050 is the indicated date. That is
surprisingly soon.
During the past hundred years,
the maximum vehicular speed has
increased every year, on the aver
age by about per cent. It has
been compounded at 2 per cent per
annum. In earlier times, the in
crease was very slow. 1t may be
that in the future the rate of in
crease again will be slow. The in
dications are, however, that it will
! be even more RAPID.
Outlines Possibilities
Assuming that speeds will be
compounded during the next CEN
tury at per cent per annu1n, a
speed of 1000 miles per hour will
be reached in 1850, and vehicular
speeds above $4,000 miles per hour
will be available by the year 2030."
Once at the moon, DR.. Stewart
thinks that communication by tele-
phone with the earth might be car
ried On over beam of light, as the
Kennedy Heaviside layer might
make radio impossible. To return,
the ship would take off in the same
way it left the earth, coasting most
of the way, because of the earth's
greater graYitation attraction. Care
would have to be taken in landing,
for If the ship came down too fast
over city, and the rockets were
fired to check the fall, it would be
disastrous to the people below.

INSURANCE MAN
SAYS AVIATION
HAZARD GREAT
BY HOMER H. METZ


NEW YORK. Feb. rs UN.SD.
There is yet a great hazard in
air navigation"
When Walton L. Croker, presi-
dent Of the John Hancock Mutual
Lie Insurance Company, made
this statement in a speech in
Boston recently. he brought into
sharp relief the bone of conten-
ton in the disputes between avia-
ton men and insurance men.
Practical aviation men believe
that the science of flying is funda-
mentally safe-almost as safe as
1t ever will become. Insurance
men believe the opposite to be
true.
Croker pointed out that
during 1929 his company had paid
out $164, 226 in losses for "a avia-
ton deaths. or an average of
$1,000 per life. Incidentally. only
one Of these claims was entered
on behalf of a pilot.
There is yet" the Mutual
Company president said, " a great
hazard in air navigation, as the
Figures will show when the true
test is applied of the relation of
the casualties to the number ex-
posed to the casualty. How to
measure that hazard is a puzzle,
especially irregular flights under
inadequate supervision.
THE life insurance already is
sued cannot be controlled upon
this point. II the view hereto
fore held in regard to the sig
nificance Of the incontestable
clause may become so modified
by final judicial decision Gas we
hope it may there will result
the establishment of the right to
permit limitation of coverage for
longer terms than heretofore
even for the life of the contract.
This ought to permit the life
companies to insure air-traVelers
on proper terms so as to avoid
the assumption of such phrases
Of the aviation risk at least as we
may fairly regard as beyond the
scope of standard mortality meas
urements. We propose to modify
our rules accordingly, at the
right time.
Outside of that the insurer
should have unquestioned oppor-
tunity for greater control than it
now has, in Justice to the whole
body Of policy holders, during
the experimental stages of the
amazing attempt of man to emu
late the birds Of the air in their
flight"

But like other present-day modes OF
arranging the hair. they call attention

And it makes the hair softer, easier

Here's all you do. Each time you
