After order was restored he explained
that the government was forced to re-

because of the necessity OF avoiding
anarchy after two years Of inherited
economic difficulties"

One of the events at today'S session

and occupied a seat directly in front

BATTERY OF GUNS
ADDED AT PANAMA
Defense Strengthened by
Group OF 14-Inch Rail-
way Cannon. =

Strengthening defense of the Panama
Canal against possible naval attack, the
United States Army has added a bat
terry Of 14-inch railway guns capable
Of scoring hits on moving ships at Is
miles-the most powerful artillery yet
developed for American armed forces.
Used to supplement the fixed 16-inch
guns defending the canal, the railway
battery may be hauled from one side Of
the isthmus to the other. set up and
made ready for firing within six hours,
1t was learned today.
Heretofore, the 14-inch guns at the
canal have not been movable. In work.
ing out war games in cooperation with
the fleet, however, 1t was found advan-
tageous to have a battery Of long-range
guns capable of being shifted to the
point Of attack, according to Army Of
ficerS.
Fire Is Accurate.
Outranging the longest 16-inch bat
tleship guns in the world by six miles.
the new railway gun fires with the pre-
out of IL shots fired the battery scored
a hit on the forward turret of a
moving target the size Of the battle
ship California 1912 miles away.
A development of the 1920 Army gun
and the old Navy 14-inch railway gun
that was used in France during the
World War, the new piece of artillery
weighs 100000 pounds with carriage,
has a maximum range OF $4,000 yards
with an initial velocity of 5000 feet per
second and a maximum elevation of
so degrees, as compared with about u
degrees in the old gun. The new gun
traverses without moving its carriage,
where as the old pieces had to be
mounted on curved track and swung
around in order to change direction.
Using a projectile weighing 1900
pounds. it costs Uncle Sam $700 every
time this giant is fired.
Can Be Hand Operated.
consisting Of a 125-horSepower engine
directly coupled to a 50-kilowatt gener-
ator, which furnished power for motors
that raise and lower the mount, operate
powder and shot cranes, elevate and
depress the gun, turn the mount around
on its base and furnish air for closing
the breech and for blowing the powder
gases out Of the gun after firing. All
these operations may be done by hand
in case of accident to the power plant.
For more accurate firing. the gun re-
Quires a concrete base, to which it must
be bolt:d and the wheels removed. How
ever, it may be fired to limited extent
from field platform which can be in
stalled on any track.
Because of its heavy weight, in trav-
cling the gun and locomotive must be
separated by three to eight gondola cars
to prevent the two heaviest weights
crossing a bridge at the same time,
with another gondola behind to protect
the overhanging muzzle Top speed of
the gun train is estimated at about %
miles an hour.

Lincoln Ellsworth, on the Graf. The
first message we sent to Gen. Mobile
was:
"a thousand wireless greetings. DR..
Eckener wants you to come aboard the
Graf for a cup Of tea"
The invitation was accepted. but the
general has deferred his visit for a
little while.
We were unable to remain near the
Maligin long because Of the strong cur
rent in the channel and the large ice
foes, which threatened to do serious
damage to the Graf. We landed the

were lowered. All the time we were

Although we had looked forward to
seeing the people aboard the Maligin

was only possible to give them Their
mail before we were forced to rise again.

Even though we were unable to talk

ANT|-FREEzE PLAN
FOR PLANES FOUND
Cornell Physicist Would Heat
Wings by Exhaust
From Motors.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE.
Associated Press Science Editor.

ITHACA. N. Y, July 29.-Dr. Merit
Scott, Cornell physicist, has discovered
that enough heat is dissipated by air.
plane engines to warm the wings and
prevent perils of .ice formations.
There Is even the possibility Of heat
ing the propeller, a part up to now
lacking In any kind Of protection
against ice.
There has been q general opinion"
DIR. Scott says, that the heat 1issi-
pated by the aviation engine is insuf1i-
cient to maintain the necessary ex-
posed surfaces Of the airplane at or
Reforming temperatures"
That this opinion Is mistaken, he
found in a years experiments and cal
culations in a laboratory at Cornell
University department Of physics,
equipped under grant from the Daniel
Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion OF
AeronauticS.
Heat Covered Wings.
In a refrigerating wind tunnel he
drove glaze. Sleet and subcooled water
particles against small model plane
wings. In these wings, along the lead
ing edges, were pipes carrying hot air
equivalent to the exhaust gases from an
aviation engine. The pipes kept the
surface of the leading edges above
freezing
The heat generated at these edges
flowed backward over the wing surfaces.
It was pressed down there by the rush
Of the air past the wings. 1t formed a
heat cushion between the wing surface
and the freezing water particles.
Back pressure produced upon the
engine by using the exhaust gases in
this manner, DR.. Scott says, may be re-
lieved by discharging the gases into the
air at point on the wing where the
pressure Is below that Of the atmos-
phere.
The propeller may also be protected
from ice formation" he states. This
may be accomplished by conducting the
hot gases to the interior Of a hollow
metallic propeller by a sliding valve
and allowing them. to discharge from
exit ports near the propeller tips.
Although no practical tests Of these
methods of preventing ice formation
have been made, the practicability and
simplicity of these means seem avail
able when occasion necesSitates.
Still Layer Of Air.
Laymen think of air as rushing over
a completely bare wing surface. Actually
the wing lies in a coat Of still air, but
it is a microscopically thin coat. The
next layer of air outward is in motion
and succeeding layers move with in
creasing velocity. For this reason. DR..
Scott says, If layer Of water on the
wing is thin, the air forces tending to
blow it off are exceedingly small, even
though at an almost infinitesimal
distance above there may be hur-
ricane.
This results In unexpected antics Of
water drops On the leading edge air
pressure holds water fiat, but as it
flows back over the wing. it punches up
into rounded droplets. These rush along
with the hopping motion Of water
poured upon sizzling hot stove.
