SEIZE BALANCE
Of POWER ON
FINANCE

While currents Of discord still
eddied beneath a placid surface,
Republican Old Guards, Young
Guards and Insurgents assembled
today in party caucus in the Sen
ate to ratify the peace treaty,
ending a threatened civil war
over committee assignments.
The treaty gave the Insurgents
a balance of power on the Sen.
ate Finance Committee, which
drafts tariff. tax and revenue
legislation. Through the accord,
Senators Robert M. LaFollette,
Jr, OF Wisconsin, and John
Thomas, of Idaho, became men,
berS Of the committee. BY join
Ing with the Democrats they can
at any time take control of the
committee away from the Admin
istration.
McNary New Leader
Senator Charles L. McNary, of
Oregon, meanwhile was slated for
election as assistant Republican
floor leader, to succeed Senator
Wesley L. Jones, of Washington,
who resigned. The choice of Nc
Nary was believed likely to pro
mote unity within the Republican
ranks.
Senator Watson, the majority
leader, and Senator Vandenberg
(R0 of Michigan, Young Guard
lie a der, expressed themselves
pleased with the accord. Watson
said he always supported LaFol-
lette's claim for the seat under
the Senate's seniority rule.
Fine" Says Vandenberg
"The agreement was a fine
thing" said Vandenberg. "It
gave recognition to the Northwest
which is the very thing the So
called Young Guard has been
fighting for for a long time"
A half dozen committee chair
manships and several dozen other
committee assignments were to
be approved by the caucus at the
same time. The most important
Craftsmanship involved went to
Senator Jones of Washington, as
head of the Appropriations Com
mittee. Other important assign
ments were Senator Robinson of
Indiana, to Foreign Relations;
Senator Steiwer of Oregon. to
Appropriations, and Senator Has
tings of Delaware, to Interstate
Commerce.

10.-When Isaac E. Smith, II

business for his company last
spring a sign over the door of an

been harboring for some time. The
sign read, I'VE Marry You Sc

How to Fly
LESSON NO. 24
OF. The Washington Times Flying Club
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
Acronaatical Engineer

You have learned from previous
lessons that the duties of the
fuselage are limited, and that as
far as being useful in obtaining
lift, it is of no value.
The duties of the fuselage are
to house the useful load and the
motor. 1t also serves as a connec-
ton to keep the tail units end
main supporting surfaces together.
To it are attached the landing
units.
Indeed, one of the most i'm
portant parts of the modern air
plane is the framework support
ing the units named above. The
problem of building a fuselage
sufficiently light for use where
every ounce must be accounted
for, while at the same time pos
sessing the strength and endur-
ance essential for the work it is
called upon to perform was at first
one of great difficulty.
However, today OnaterialS are
available that are very light and
strong and are particularly well
adapted for airplane framework
construction.
Determined by Duties
OF course, as in all things to be
constructed, the material used is
often determined by the proposed
duties of the craft. This can be
seen from an examination of
various types of aircraft.
FuSelage designing and con-
struction have undergone con-
stant change since the birth of
the airplane. In the earlier types
Of aircraft, we had the open

FOR ROYAL
COUPLE

ROME, Jan. 10.-Another day
of pageantry, festivals and Off
cial functions gave Grown Prince
Humbert and his bride, Princess
Marie Jose, little privacy today.
This morning they reviewed a
procession of school children VINO
were thus given an opportunity
to get a glimpse Of the new
Princess of Piedmont who is
destined to be 1taly's future
queen.
This afternoon they reviewed
parade of civil authorities from
all over Italy. This procession
was marked by floats and cos
tunes depicting the histories Of
the various Italian states.
Marie Jose will part with her
family this evening when King
Albert, Queen Elizabeth, Princess
Astrid and the Princess Leopold
and Charles depart for Brussels.
Later the Crown Prince and
his bride will attend a gala per-
formAnce of the opera staged ir
their honor.
Sometime tomorrow they will
start on their honeymoon. 1t is
expected they will go either to

PERSISTENCE over these types was
far greater than when closed or
covered. The closed-in fuselage
form then was adopted.
Even in the last three years, If
you will recall. the design in fuse
lage has undergone constant
change. Probably the design at
tracing most attention today is
that of the new Lockheed plane
built for Colonel Lindbergh. This
design calls for considerable speed.
Likewise the design in transport
types Of planes has been advanced
considerably within the last few
years, calling for better stream
lining and therefore less power
This important move cuts down
the cost of operation and likewise
the cost Of transportation for the
public.
In fuselage construction or de-
sign. it must be remembered that
the fuselage in itself does not give
lift, but is parasitic to the lifting
elements, in that it offers consid-
erable air resistance and is called
upon to mouse loads of hundreds
of pounds.
Must Reduce Resistance
Under these conditions it is
necessary for the designer to cut
down as much as possible the
amount of parasitic resistance as
well as mead resistance or ex-
poSure. When this resistance is
cut down, the amount of power
necessary to pull the craft through
the air is considerably less.
AS air resistance increases as the
square of the velocity, and power
requirements increase as the cube
of the velocity, it can easily be
seen then that the less the amount
Of resistance, the less the power re.
quired. The less the power re.
quired, the less the cost of fuel
for operation.
This is given that you may
better understand just what to
expect in fuselage design or con.
Struction. Indeed, within the
next few years we may expect
many radical changes in fuSelage
design. The fuselage in itself
will not be long with us, how
ever, as we are nearing that
stage when the flying-wing will
have erased the necessity of the
fuselage.
German designers of aircraft
are perhaps the foremost in the
world today. Examples may be
found in the fact that Germany
has the largest planes, both land
type and sea type, in the world
today.

WORK ON NEW CAPITOL
 MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

Not later than next. January 15- sixteen months after the breaking of ground for the foundation-the new Capitol will be ready for occupancy, according to the representatives of N. P. Severin & Go. that are in charge of construction operations, says the Juneau Empire. On the building, which shows six floors in front and five floors in the rear, one hundred workers, skilled and un- skilled, are employed at present.
 All exterior marble work has been competed. and the task of setting the interior marble has been started. Ex- terior brick work is almost finished, while the terra cotta cornice is about 50 per cent complete. The steel frames for all windows are in place. Glazers have reached the third floor with their glass installations.
 The partitions, designated in the plans for the separation of rooms, have been erected on ground, first and second floors. and are now being erected on the third floor.
 Plastering-three coats on every wallis completed on the ground floor. is about half done on the first, and ha sheen started on the second.
 Every floor will have a concree base, over which will be laid the hard wood flooring. Concrete fills have been completed qn ground, first and second floors, and this work is about GO per cent completed on the third floor.
 One of the two boilers to be used in generating heat for the heating sys- tenn has been installed. The work of putting into place the ornamental iron for stair rails, door frames and elevator shafts will be started at once.
 Temporary heating is provided so cold weather. will not delay progress of work in the fall or early winter. :.

PAN-AMERICAN COURT
 IS HOUSED IN HAVANA

HAVANA, March IS. Cuban pride has been enhanced by recent establishment here of the Pan-Am- erican Court for International Jus tice. Next year the tribunal will be permanently housed in a fine building which is being constructed for it's sole use by the Cuban Government.
 Cuba was selected as seat of the court two years ago when dele gates from 9 nations gathered here for the sixth Pan-American con- ference. Such internatiopalists as Dr. James Brown Scott, Washing ton; Dr. Victor Maurtua, Peru, and Dr. Antonio Sanchez de Busta- mente, Cuba, were instrumental in it's organization.
 The tribunal was instituted with the idea that it would be an ef- fective means of settling peaceably disputes arising between La t n- American countries. It is patterned rather closely upon the Court of International Justice at The Hague. A high Cuban official said re- gently that no distinction could have been bestowed upon his coun- try which would have added more to national dignity and prestige. Many Cubans go further and say that the court came to Cuba ss a matter of right because of the islands evidenced ability as a ma tion of nternationalists.
