AIR LINE BUMPS
Twelve Shocks Are Felt in
Five D. C.-NeW York
Round Trips.
BY the Associated Press.


NEWARK, N. j., February 11.-Six
thimble-size robots riding New York
washington passenger plane record air
bumps as the worst shocks Of flying.
Sitting in wings, fuselage and landing
gear of IA Ludington Line plane, they
have made five round trips, and the re-
suits were made public Monday.
The robots are merely tiny weights.
They ride in pairs. in vertical holes
which look quite like Lilliputian cock
pits bored in a block of aluminium
about the size of a cake of hand soap.
Springs strap" them in place. Their
almost human. sway In flight records
the stresses on the plane and Is trans
mitted by electrical wires to the cabin
and there measured by glow tubes.
They have been nicknamed the electric
pulse"
In the five round trips to Washington
IL bumps" we're recorded, each equal
to piling upon the plane a weight Of
10000 pounds which is almost twice
the weight of the ship. A good many
other bumps registered $4,000 pounds
each.
These occurred at speeds above 100
by the pair of robots riding one wing.
The couple on the landing gear found
no stresses in take-off equal to twice
the planes weight, but in landing they
reported" pressure equal to about two
and half times the ships weight, con-
centrated mainly on the gear.
The apparatus was developed by j.
Ormondroyd and d. d. Knowles Of the
Westinghouse Research Laboratories and
by w. A. Brecht of the WESTINGHOUSE
Engineering Division.

NAVY'S GIANT Yep
TO CARRY 5PLANES
Will Be Ready for Tests Next
May-U. S. S. Akron to
Cost $5,375, 900.

The mightiest aircraft the world ever
has seen, giant dirigible carrying five
fighting airplanes and mounting 16
guns, is to take the air for preliminary
tests by the United States Navy next
May, according to a report to the House
Appropriations Committee, and may be
ready for active service next July.
The great dirigible, which will be
larger than the Graf Zeppelin and Los
Angeles combined, Is expected to intro
duce a new and most formidable ele-
nlent into warfare on the seas and Is
the first step in a concerted effort to
put the United STATS is a position OF
world leadership in tie airship field.
Named U. S. s. Akron.
A single gas cell in the monster Of
the skies is to be three times the size
residents of the Capital are accustomed
The new airship is to be designated
the ZRS-4 and will bear the name
U. S. S. Akron, after its birthplace
Akron, Ohio, where 1t is being built In
the Goodyear airship dock, the largest
building in the world under a single
unsupported roof.
The Akron is to cost the Navy S.
375,0000. Its sister ship, the ZRS-5
however, will cost but S2,450,oO0. under
the terms of the Navy contract The
zRS-5. if funds are provided in the
Navy Department appropriation bill, re-
ported to the House yesterday, is to be
completed about December !, 1882.
To Serve as Plane Carrier.
When the U. S. s. Akron joins the
United States Fleet it will accomplish
two purposes, according to David S. In
gals, Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
for Aeronautics. 1t will have as its
principal mission scouting over the vast
expanses of the oceans, type of oper-
alton requiring great reliability and q
long cruising range. The other purpose
unique i'll aeronautical history, is to
serve as supercarrier for airplanes, Mr.
ingalls, said.
The Akron, Mr.. ingalls, said, will be
invulnerable to attack except from the
the air, and in emergency, by dropping
ballast, it will be able to rise at the
rate of 1900 feet a minute while trav-
cling forward at 80 miles per hour
which would serve to put it out of reach
of the faster pursuit plane. which can
not climb so rapidly without losing a
great deal OF its forward speed.

zihIman Ordered to Report
100000 FavorabIy to
House Committee.

The House District Committee today
authorized Chairman zihlman to re-
port favorably when it is referred to the
House committee the bill passed by the
Senate yesterday authorizing an appro-
priation of 100000 for the Washing
ton Committee arranging for the BIZ
centennial Celebration during the year
1892 in the National Capital
DR.. George c. Havenner, president Of
the Federation of Citizens Associations
and chairman of the Executive Com
mittee, appeared before the committee
urging early and favorable action on
the Senate bill.
The House Committee also adopted q
resolution to be transmitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners censuring the spe-
cia1 privilege granted to taxicab and
transportation companies to use ex-
clusively certain sections of the public
streets in the District.
Cite Need for Traffic Lights.
Representative Mcleod, Republican,
Of Michigan, offered this resolution which
was acted upon on motion of Repre-
sentative Hull, Republican, of WinScon-
SIM This resolution calls the attention
Of the District Commissioners to the
need for additional trafic lights In GER
tain sections of the city for the protec-
ton of pedestrians, particularly at
Peace Monument, as brought to the at
tention of the House last week during
consideration of the new traffic bill.
The resolution also calls the atten-
ton of the Commissioners to the fact
that for many years it has been a prac-
| tice to permit transportation companies
to have bus terminals on the streets.
| The committee feels that these should
be abolished and that the bus COM
panies should be compelled to estab-
lish their own depots on private prop
erty.
Hit Hotel Privileges.
The resolution also censures the prac-
| tice which has often before been Sc
verely criticized in Congress Of per-
hitting hotels to lease certain parts Of
the streets of the District paid for by
the taxpayers to taxicab companies for
consideration.
The resolution advises the Commits
sioners that the House District Com
mittee feels that hack stands should be
available for al taxicab companies and
| individual taxicab owners, and that
| they should not, as at present, be mo-
i nopolized by any particular cab COM
| pany.

+, space for a picture Of that size, and
while the question was still acute MT.
Uhl died and the portrait went to
storage Nobody seemed to be re-
sponsible and because the suffragists
had so many demands for money and
so little of it the portrait was neglected
| for some Is years.
Mrs. Hendiey told about the organiza-
ton of the Anthony Foundation in 1922
and how years later, in March, 1925,
she was called to the telephone to re-
ceive the message that in two hours the
Anthony portrait was to be sold IN a
local auction room for storage charges.
| Not wishing to see the valuable por-
trait lost, she began calling organiza-
tions and people in an attempt to secure
enough money to rescue the picture.
But the task was not easy. Finally she
succeeded IN having the auction post
poned for q week and with other ofi-
| GERS of the foundation started out to
raise the money. Prominent persons
contributed, but after a weeks effort
the sum which she had raised was still
fshort of the necessary amount.
Auction Scene Described.
Mrs. Hendley then described the stor-
age room on the morning of the auction,
| filled with women of means who had
come to sale of costly rugs and the
few members of the Anthony group who
had come to attempt to rescue the por-
trait. When the time for bidding came
there was little interest. The Anthony
officers bid their money, but 1t was not
enough. Finally after an appeal by Mrs.
| Hendley in behalf of the memory of a
great woman had been augmented by
the eloquence of the auctioneer, the
women who had come to buy rugs found
themselves contributing toward the pic
tIire of a suffrage leader and the por-
trait was saved for the Anthony Foun-
dalton.
The portrait was first hung in the old
Shoreham Hotel, whose hospitality Miss
Anthony had enjoyed during her last
national convention, held in Washing
ton just one month before her death in
! 1885, But two years later the hotel was
sold for business block. The picture
was then moved to the Woman'S City
Club, and later to the headquarters Of
the Anthony Foundation.
Since the headquarters of the foun-
dalton were abandoned the picture has
been without home, until today it
| found its permanent resting place in
| the office of the president of the Ma
tional League of Women Voters, the or
ganiZation which as an outgrowth of
the suffrage association directs its eff
forts toward the promotion of the re-
sponSible participation of women in
| government.

n Anthony, famous leader of the
IA movement for woman's suffrage
4 a and founder of the National
American Woman's Suffrage As
ISOLATION, was presented today by
the Anthony Foundation to the Ma
tional League of Women Voters, the
lineal descendent of the suffrage or
ganization. The portrait was painted
in 1890 by Jerome K. Uhl, Washing
ton artist of the last century.
Of1cers of the league and the foun-
dation made up the small group witness
ing the presentation ceremonies held in
the headquarters of the National League
of Women Voters on Seventeenth street.
Mrs. Bertha Yoder Werthner, president,
and Mrs. Anna Hendley, honorary preSi-
dent of the Anthony Foundation, for
mally presented the portrait. Introduced
by Miss Belle Sherwin, president, Miss
Elizabeth j. Hauser of Girard, Ohio,
accepted the painting for the National
League of Women Voters and spoke Of
her personal acquaintance with Miss
Anthony during the campaign for the
ratification of the suffrage amendment.
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper, author of the
Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony"
and one Of the few living friends OF
Miss Anthony, who was to have taken
part in the ceremonies, was not present
because of severe illness.
The painting is a life-sized portrait,
showing Miss Anthony in the famous
garnet velvet with lace fichu, which was
the gift Of admiring friends. The well
set shoulders, stately figure and the
dignity Of her poise when speaking have
been faithfully reproduced.
Address by Mrs. Hendley.
In telling of the historical significance
Of the portrait Mrs. Hendley said.
Every year from the time of the
organization of the National Womap's
Suffrage Association in 1863 it held its
annual conventions in Washington, and
every year at that time Susan B. An
thony came down at the head Of her
cohorts in constantly increasing num-
Jbers. The convention speakers were
among the most brilliant of those who
came to this city of perpetual oratory,
and Miss Anthony was in constant de-
mand by writer's, photographers and
other artists. In 1890 Jerome K. Uhl
secured from Miss Anthony, then 20
years old, the sittings for a ife-sized
picture, which was received by her
friends with praise. The price of $4,000
which Mr.. Uhl placed on the portrait
after 1t had been encased in a gold-lined
shadow box 10 feet high and feet
wide was too great for the suffragists-
very few of whom were women of
wealth. 1t was also difficult to find
