"As far as We know" said Or
Cooper. nature has set no speed
limit for the human system for
straight and level fight. When you
ride in cabin plane, the body OF
air inside moves along with you.
'You feel no different when you
are going fast than when you are
going slow. You could move through
space at terrific pace without the
slightest body discomfort.
1T never is straight forward speed
that produces bad effects upon the
human system. 1t is rapid accele-
ration in speed sudden charges in
altitude, and sharp turns. High
speed planes will have to gain mo-

changes in pressure due to altera-

in altitude would have no effect"

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Incredible
airplane speeds, enabling man to
encircle the globe in five hours, are
predicted for dozen years hence by
Fritz Won Opel, famous German ex-
perimenter and the first man IN
the world to ride a rocket plane.
Man-made meteors, capable or
5000 miles an hour speeds, will be
common in 1912, he says.
Will the human body, so long used
to travelling slowly, be able to adapt
itself to such PAGES? Somewhere on
the skyways, has nature posted a
speed limit beyond which it will be
fatal for men to go?
These questions were put to DR..

from high speeds, said DR.. Cooper,
comes from centrifugal force, driv-
ing objects away from the center OF
curvature. This force can knock out
a flier with the suddenness Of bolt
of lightning.
When a turn IS made too fast,
the blood is driven downward. The
brain, deprived Of nourishment, mo-
mentarily ceases to function and
inconsistencies results.
Meanwhile. the heart is straining
to force the blood back to the brain.
The blood is congested in the lower
part Of the body.
In a preSent-day plane, all this
is OVER in a split second. But 10

Mr.. Keech and William NICK.

utilities committee Of the Fed

brought out at the hearing on
electric rates last Tuesday that
the amount realized from the
sale Of power is carried on the
books of the Washington Rail

though an opinion handed down
by members Of the utilities com
mission in 1915 held that the
profits should be carried on the
books Of the Potomac Electric
Power Company and used in cases
for establishing rates.
They held that the resale Of
power constitutes hidden profits
for the Potomac Electric Power
Company which is owned by the
railway company. While the
figures on the sale Of power did

, cabinet decided to place his body
on catalfalQue underneath the

Frances unknown soldier, as they
did In the case Of the late Mar
shal Ferdinand Foch.
To this Nine. Joffre would not

not wish either troops or pOpu'

To Pause At Arch
The cabinet complied with her
wishes. Instead Of lying in state
beneath the arch, the body OF
the marshal will be taken to the
Chapel of the Ecole Militaire,
where It will remain Monday and
Tuesday. On Wednesday, at 9 in
the morning, the body will be
taken to the Cathedral Of Notre
Dame for services. En- route the
gun carriage bearing the mar
Shal's casket will halt for a mo-
ment beneath the arch and then
proceed to the church.

final moments were Nine. JOffre
and the immediate family, as well

staff and four doctors, In addi-
ton to Holy Brother Ferdinand.

nninistered at 8 a. m. by Pere
