Eight Year Record Broken.
One of the most sensational indi-
cations of what may be expected in
the race tomorrow came during the
trials of the new Gee Bee racer with
Lowell Bayles at the controls. BayleS,
in four dashes over one-mile
straightaway, averaged 267.342 miles
per hour, lettering the American speed
record Of 26659 miles per hour, which
has been held for eight years by Lieut..
Afford j. Williams, jr., former Navy
racing and acrobatic star. Bayles' rec
ord, however, is unofficial, since 1t was
merely qualifying heat and was not
of1cially timed by proper officials of the
National Aeronautic Association. AS
this is written. Bayies is planning to go
out under official sanction in an effort
to capture the American speed record.
Bayles made. two runs with the wind
ard two against the wind. tie average
OF the four being taken for his quail
Tying figure. In his fastest run he
covered the measured mile at a speed
OF 286 miles per hour. The worlds
oficial speed record for land planes
is 278.48 miles per hour and was es-
tablished by Adjt. Bonnet at Istres.
France, in 1924. Unless Bayles can
coax more than ten miles per hour
greater average speed out Of his plane
for the four dashes over the mile
course on his official runs. Bonnet S
record will be safe so far as the Gee
Bee is concerned
Maj. James H. Jimmy" Doolittle,
former Army racing and acrobatic
star. however. remains to be heard
from. He has plane. which as this
Is written is on the Pacific Coast
waiting to start In the transcontinental
Bendtx Derby race. Doolittle claims
this plane has a chance to set new
world land plane speed record and it
may be pitted against the French
pilots record before the close of this
years classic
American speed record. which he still
holds of1cially. on November 4, 1923,
at Mitchell Field, Long Island.
Confined to Land Planes.
Though the worlds fastest planes
have been sea planes, the Thompson
raoe is confined to land planes There
are no other rest: lotions and pilots may
use trick motors and fuels or any other
methods they choose to increase speed
The race may be regarded as the best
American pilots can achieve in the
high speed line and, from that stand
point, the contest is of interest to avi-
atorS the world around.
Last years Thompson was won by
the late Charles w. Speed" Holman
in a special Laird racer with a speed
of 2o1 miles per hour Holman was
killed this year when he few into the
ground upside down while putting on
an acrobatic demonstration at an air
meet.
Neither the Army nor the Navy will

partment has resumed its high speed

lact year, its racing monoplane being
flown by Capt. Arthur Page, U. S. M. c.,
who was leading the field when he
crashed and was killed on the seven
tenth lap.
Last years race caught many Of the
American designers unprepared and
several who would have liked to enter
special racers we're unable to do SO.
The situation has changed this year
and planes designed from nose to tail
for the purpose will flash across the
starting line tomorrow afternoon in
what is expected to be the most thrill
ing speed competition this country has
known.
While the country's civil aircraft de-
signerS have been at work preparing
for the Thompson on the basis of a
plane designed merely for single race.
the Navy Department has plunged
into the long and arduous task of
scientific speed development on a long
term program. The Navy program IS
expected to produce high-speed racing
planes but, Of vastly greater impor-
lance to the Nation, 1t is expected to
speed up the standard service planes
and to produce results which may be
reflected in the commercial craft which
| fly the Nations Always in regular
transport service.
The Navy Bureau Of Aeronautics has
consistently advocated a policy Of high
speed development, it was pointed out
by Rear Admiral William A. Moffett,
chief Of the bureau. recently, but be-
cause of lack of funds, has been unable
to conduct even the preliminary re-
search work necessary to begin pro-
gram Of development.
Competition Produced.
High speed development, Admiral
Moffett said, produces direct and i'm
mediate competition. stimulates Gre
alive thought and yields results which
are directly applicable to the service
aircraft upon which the Nation must
depend for defense and in which speed
is vital factor
Navy single-seater fighters which are
putt ng on daily demonstrations of
combat flying at the Cleveland races
have a rated top speed Of little more
than 100 miles per hour, while Great
Britain has developed, largely as a re-
suit OF experience in Schneider racing
competition, an "interceptor' fighter
which has a reputed speed of better
than 210 miles per hour.
The Navy now is getting started on
its high-speed program with a fund of
100000. made available two months
ago. Virtually all of this amount has
been obligated for only a single step in
the program. the preliminary work
necessary for the development of a
high powered light weight engine.
Much money and several years of time
will be required for the Navy to even
reach the status now existing abroad in
racing plane development, in the opin-
ion of Admiral Moffett
The engine research program, how
ever. is to be only portion of the task
the Navy has laid out for itself. Ex-
tensive research will be undertaken in
aerodynamical form. types of structure
to support the forces which necessarily
are applied to high-speed plane, and
in propeller design.

There's a Type
for Every Figure

Corselettes are perfect for
some figures. They are
shown in fine silk without
boning for slight figures,
lightly boned for medium fig
ures and heavily stayed for
the larger figure. One cor
sellete plays the part of bras
siers, panties, and corset, and
does it well. This is shown
with a very low back for eve
ming wear. Corselettes are
fashioned of cottons, rayons
and silks. Some are works
of art in lace and silk.
There's beauty in these pro-
sale but necessary weara-
bles. Girdles are on sale in
every type from garter belts
to real girdles that lace like
old-fashioned corsets. Some
hook at the side, or hook
half way down, many are the
step-in kind.

No doubt about the suit
being the fair-haired child
Of Fashion this year. They
are going over in a big way.
Women will wear suits this
spring who haven't had one
on in years. They are so
wearable, so feminine and so
utterly new. They no longer
look as if they were doing a
m a s Gu line impersonation.
The severe, boyish suit Of
harsh fabrics is as passe as
the bicycle built for two. In
its place we find nicely
tailored suits of soft, supple
woolens with the detailing
Of fine frocks. There are
many styles, two, three, four
and even five-piece models.
This year you can get a suit
to suit your type, and the
smart thing to do is to get
one early and get your
moneys worth Of wear now
until early fall.

Other knitted and jac-
guard types prevail, the lat
ter sometime glitter with
rows Of strass. Sweaters
often double for blouses.
The waistcoat is smart.
Sports blouses and sweaters
are found in vivid green's,
yellows, reds, blues, fore
casts Of the Forthcoming
French colonial exposition in
Paris in May. Colony prints
are popular for this type
blouse, too.
Fine linens, eyelet en-
broidery, embroidered ba-
tistes, lawns, tucked net, chif-
fon, lace and organdie 60 to
make up costume blouses.
Lace and embroidery, saw.
tooth edges, scallops, as well
as soft bows and buttons,
form "pretty" trimmings.
They are developed in egg
shell, dainty pastels, the

as paisley, plaids, stripes,
checks and polka dots.

Women liked the new
fashions and were loath to

to the situation nobly. New
fashions, by the way, have
given new impetus to their
business, too.
Now, a woman's figure
with correct corsetting) is
what she makes it. Every
woman should wear a foun-
dation garment, to insure
correctly fitting gowns, but
they must be chosen and
fitted with infinite care.
Garments are on sale for
every imaginable figure.
They fit high in the waist
line and make a perfect
figure under a slim gown.
Rrassieres are designed with
astonishing cleverness. We
find them in lace, reinforced
with net and they wear we'll,
too, soft swamee, Jersles,
cotton, tricot and cleaning
crepes and satins. They vary
in style, for there's one for
every type figure. We find
the cup shape bandeau that
gives a very youthful line,
brassieres with a band at
the bottom that fits over
the top of the girdle (and
banishes the famous spare
tire). Some of them are
equipped with supporters to
attach to the stockings.
Straps of ribbon and elastic
hold them in place, narrow
so as to make as little bulk
beneath the dress as pos
sible.
