What the Streamline Means
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

| the Leaning Tower of Pisa to establish
the principle that all objects fall at
the same rate Of speed. However, the
speed Of falling Is not the same as the
speed Of q propelled object and 1t took
the later studies to discover the prin-
ctple of the streamline tn all It's i'm.
plications.
Ei1el. the French engineer who built
the Eiffel Tower in Paris, was another
experimenter In the field OF aefody-
namics. He built the first known pro-
totype Of the wind tunnel constructed
by the Bureau Of Standards at Wash
ington. This is tunnel through which
, currents Of air are passed by means OF
powerful fans. In it are made tests Of
air resistance and wind pressure upon
the parts of airplanes.
Prof. S. P. Langley, pioneer Of
American aviation, followed the same
gleam. At his Allegheny Observatory
laboratory near Pittsburgh, he carried
on experiments with air resistance and
pressure and laid down principles which
were acknowledged by the Wright
brothers to have been highly valuable.

the street, but it is more than likely that
the car Of the future will strongly re-
semble 1t. 1t has a very blunt nose.
Even the headlights and tenders are
blunted in front and faired of. Every.
thing about the car, every surface look
ing forward, presents bluntness to the
air and then tapers of gradually. The
rear is sharp and every effort has been
made to eliminate any surface on which
the force Of suction could be exerted.
In the course of redesigning the
whole car, it was found that greater
room inside was obtainable. So far as
possible, tenders and running boards
have been removed because all such
eXcrescences present surfaces to the air
to invite resistance. This gives more
room on the chassis and that extra
room has been inclosed in the model
car built at the Bureau of Standards.
The new streamline car has been
called the teardrop because that is

presents Q rounded blunt surface and
has q sort Of pollywog tail.
Whether or not some manufacturer
will be courageous enough to adopt the
Bureau of Standards model and put
such q car on the market remains to
be seen. It is probable that the de-
velopment will be gradual, but it seems
inevitable that within few years all
cars will follow the type. They will
make the present-day models look as
antiquated as horse and buggy.
The railroad people already are
adopting the idea. Engineers have
figured an enormous saving in coal
or other motive power through the
streamlining Of entire trains. Air
planes are being designed more and
more to conform to the principle.

Where the Money Goes.

The distribution to the States In the
form OF relief loans and grants Of about
. billion, three hundred million dollars
raises the interesting Question Of how
the States are sharing in these various
bounties. Elsewhere in today's Star
of this distribution on the basis Of pres
ent figures. The table is not complete,
and does not include more than bill
lion dollars made available for Federal
projects, as distinct from the non-Fed-
eral projects. AS the new deal pro-
crosses, it will be interesting and in
formative for the Government agencies
to show how their dollars are being dis
tributed among all the people of the
land.
Some Of the grants have been
authorized by statute and made condi-
tional on certain elements, population,
area, local relief expenditures, etc. But
the distribution Of the loans for self
liquidating projects, and Of grants and
loans for eligible undertakings, have
apparently depended upon the ingenu-
ity and capacity of the people in under
taking the sort of work in which the
Federal Government could lend hand.
Thus California and New York, only
two States out OF the forty-eight, have
secured authorization for loans and
grants amounting to more than one
fourth of the total. But in the case
both OF California and New York, the
money borrowed amounts to more than
half of the total these States received.
Equally as interesting is the comparison
between the amount received by the
States in form of loans and grants and
what these States land the District OF
Columbia) furnish to the Federal Gov,
ernment in internal revenue payments.
Thirty-six of the States received larger
percentage of the total distributed in
bounties and loans than they con-
tributed in internal revenue payments.
Twelve States, the District OF Columbia
and Alaska received smaller per-
ceutage of grants or loans than they
paid in internal revenue taxes. Six
States-New York, California. Illinois,
Texas, Ohio and Michigan-in, which Is
located thirty-five per cent Of the pop
ulation and winch contribute forty-five
per cent of the internal revenue pay
ments, have received practically half OF
the grants and loans.
1t would be enlightening to compare
the allotments among the States Of the
more than a billion dollars authorized
for Federal projects, and to see what
people this money is reaching. But
such a comparison is Impractical now
because all facts are not available.

Relief and Strikes.

How far should the Federal Govern
ment 60 in the matter Of distributing
"relief'-money, food and clothing-to
those engaged in strikes which De-
partment Of Labor investigators and
conciliators hold to be without justif1-
cation or who are led by irresponsible
men and women-or both? The Roose-
welt Administration is reported to be
considering withholding relief under
such circumstances. Such q course
would be logical The President,
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Federal Recovery
Administrator, and other officials OF the
Government have warned labor that
strikes are threatening the recovery
program; they have told labor that
strikes are not necessary. in view Of
the terms Of the national recovery act
and the set-up Of the codes of fair prac-
tice and the Federal Labor Board. Why
should the administration supply am
munition to those workers who disre-
gard the recovery program and threaten
its defeat?
The administration Is moving in the
matter. All major strikes in the indus
trial field are being investigated. 1t Is
asserted that should it be found the
strikers are remaining away from work
without Justification the Federal Gov
ernment has no intention whatever Of
providing them with living at the ex-
pense of all the people of the country.
If this course Of action is really followed
by the Government 1t may prove an ef-
ficient weapon. The American people,
although they believe in the right Of
collective bargaining on the part OF
labor, have shown themselves not in
frequently to be unsympathetic to
strikes which do not take into consid-
Grafton the general welfare of the Ma
ton. The force of public opinion has
been exerted more than once to bring
to an end a stubborn effort on the part
of labor-or ON the part Of employers
who have shut out" their workers.
when the strike or lockout has been
detrimental to the people.
Americans today are fighting their
way back to prosperity. They are in
no mood to sympathize with any par
ticular group which is seeking to gain
particular advantage for its own men,
bers, whether the group be composed
of workers or of employers. They will
resent unjustified strikes-just as Gen.
johnson has warned union labor.
Great powers have been placed, without
reserve, in the hands Of the Federal
Government and its executive head,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, to expedite re.
covery. Half billion dollars has been
put at the disposal Of the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration to
care for the unemployed in States and
municipalities where State and local
aid has been exhausted But when
the Congress put through this legis-
lation it was not for the purpose OF
providing sinews Of war for workers
who engaged in unjustifiable strikes. 1t
did not intend to increase the great
mass of unemployed, to invite men
and women who had jobs to join the
army of the unemployed or to aid
them in preventing other men and
women from obtaining work.

G.N.S0-The mercury trembles

An experiment to determine
whether the dead can be brought
back to life by a method con-
ceived in the brain of a brilliant
young University of California
chemist.
Made One Discovery
The dead did not return to
life.
But the experiment yielded one
startling discovery-that by arti-
ficial means blood can be caused
to circulate in the body after the
heart has ceased to beat.
Moreover it suggested the posi-
bility that science may be on the
brink of another great discovery.
Not long ago DR.. Robert E.
Cornish laid aside his work on
the isolation of vitamines A, D.
and E to plunge into a dramatic
series of experiments which had
been swirling in his thoughts.
Cornish, under 30, a research
chemist of the Institute of Ex-
perimental Biology, believed that
life might be restored in the dead
by inducing circulation and re-
storing the heartbeat through
the use of a "teeter" board, such
as children play with.
Experiments Cause Storm
He used the bodies of persons
pronounced dead. He failed. And
with his failure and the publicity
attendant on his rather Sensa-
tional experiments, a storm be-
gan brewing over the university
campus.
Cornish was called before the
faculty. His earnestness and good
reputation won him considera-
tion. The faculty decided to ap-
point committee to investigate
his experiment.
