SHAM UPRISING
STAGED BY U.S..
FORCES TUESDAY
MEN FROM u. S. DESTROYER
NOW IN PORT WERE
CALLED OUT TO QUELL
DISTURBANCES

Under command OF Lieutenant
II S. Weiser. U. S. ". and
Lieutenant j. Sabater. U.S. u.
c.. a platoon OF sailors and ma
rines from the U. S. Destroyer
Jacob Jones quickly quelled a
small uprising and riot o. a party
OF approximately so men yester-
day morning.
The disturbing element gather
ed in the western part OF the
city. Word Of the assemblage was
quickly carried to the destroyer
and at once the forces OF law and
order o. the navy was dispatched
to take charge.
Arriving in the vicinity o. the
county court house the members
of the command were adyan-
tageously. placed, some OF the
scouts being detailed to different
sectors while others were acting
as observers from the euPOla OF
the county court house
Without one shot being fired
or any injury being inflicted on
the disturbing element the pOten-
tial disturbance was quelled. the
individual members OF the riOting
party were captured and made
prisoners, and all was quiet on the
western front OF Key West.
This sham uprising and man
euyering on the part of Uncle
Sans boys was one OF the reg
ular activities which are put on
by officers and personnel OF the
ships of the navy when IN port
and is done to keep the men on
edge for actual occurrences which
are apt to happen at any time in
any port.
The celebrity with which the
situation was handled yesterday
and thhe prOmptness OF the re-
Spouse to the call for assistance
is but a mild indication OF what
would be done should such a
situation confront the officers
and men of the ships OF the navy,
it was shown.

HANUKKAH, FEAST
OF DEDICATION To
START SATURDAY
EVENT IS CELEBRATED FOR
PERIOD OF EIGHT DAYS; NO
CHURCH SERVICES HERE
IN CONNECTION

Beginning with Saturday eve
ming. December 1, Jews the world
over will start their celebration
Of the Feast of Lights. known in
Hebrew as Hanukksh. There viii
be no church services held in Key
West in this connection, neither
will the stores of the city close in
observance of the Jewish holiday
This feast is celebrated for
eight days and is dedicated to the
qualities of endurance. courage,
and fidelity of the Jewish people
as exemplified in its struggle
against the forces OF darkness
throughout the generations. The
message and significance of this
celebration constitute permanent
values of vital Importance to the
world at large as well as TO the
present generation Of Jews.
Around 200 B. C. E. Palestine
was the bone Of contention be-
tween the Syrian and Egyptian
rulers In the year 16S B. c. E
AntiOchus Epiphanes, king of
Syria, made his way into Jeru-
salem, put a great number OF its
inhabitants to the sword. plumber
ed their homes, and desecrated the
Temple.
In order TO assure himself Of
complete domination Of the land of
Judah he sought TO destroy the
spiritual and cultural forces Of
the Jewish people He burned the
Scrolls OF the Torah and forbade
its study under penalty Of death
He tortured those who observed
the Sabbath. and who continued
to- cling TO the Jewish faith and
obseryances- He defied the affairs
BY swinish sacrifices Under the
duress Of the sword. AntiOehuS
Epihznes sought 70 impose upon
the Jewish people the haif-hel-
Ienized culture of Syria which
was hardly more than a degraded
paganism.
In that crucial hour. Mattathias.
the aged priest in the village Of
MOdin. and his five valiant sons
began with answering courage a
struggle against the edietS OF the
Syrian king With Judah. the
Maccabean. a. the leader. and
with a small courageous group OF
men. they. rose IN rebellion. They
took up arms against the over
whelming Syrian forces, fought
with perseverance and herOiSm.
and finally defeated the mighty
army of Syria In the year les
B. c. E. Judah the Maceabean
entered Jerusalem. purified the
Temple. and re-dedieated It TO the
worship OF God
Through the generations the
Jewish people commemorate this
historic event by lighting candles
in the home and the Synagogue.
and by recOunting to their chill
dren the unabat.ng valOr and
heroiSIn of Israel in its perennial
fight against continuing tyranny
and oppression. In this way. the
Jewish people are preserving the
Feast of Hanukkah as a symbol
of the victory of the forces of
light and truth over the forces of
darkness and bigOtry-the forces
which clash in every age and
every land.

shisId Of a 1884 airpIane-is a
perfect example Of the things
which are breaking records IN the
air.
Speeds were increased three to
five miles an hour by redesigning
the windshields of some planes.
Many Of these changes were just
the opposite Of what . layman
would expect.
The slope Of windshield is i'm
portant, but far more so are little
niceties in shape and form not
discernibIe at first glance, that
allow the fuselage to push through
the air without forcing the air to
tarn sharp corners and be ehurned
into eddies.
'Horas' Replace Mast
An additional four miles an
hour was picked Hp by certain
big American transport planes
simply By substituting three short
horns for a tall, slender radio
mast. The horns made a V, its
apex forward. The antenna wires
were strung between.
Ten to 20 miles an hour have
been credited to retractable land
ing gears pants" streamlinad
coverings, worked so well on nom
reiEaetable landing wheels, that
now the engineers are putting a
~diaper" even over the little tail
skid.
Another 10 to 20 miles an hoar
GANG from picking the right posi-
tions for engines To work best.
on some planes, they should stick
their heads out about like turtles.
This is called the "Optimum posi-
ton" Even the thickness of this
turtles" neck is important to
speed.
Planes Face Lifted
Many a plane stepped up 20
miles an hour by having its face
lifted. Rough angles were
smoOthed out by use Of filletS.
In the classics a fillet is an
ornamental head-band. On a
plane a fiIlet is still a thing of
beauty. but its shape has changed.
It's really a ''filler" and it cuts
down air resistance The wings
are ''filleted" where they Join thu
body. That Is. they are flared so
that they join with the same
smoothness as If the angle be-
tween wing and body were filled
with curved molding clay.
Where wires are still used. the
points Of attachment are filleted.
Recent American planes are fill
leted so far that the tail fins are
q part of the body.
Adjustable Pitch Propeller
More important than the '.faee
lifting" has been the adjustable
pitch propeller. Without them
some of the latest big planes
could not get off the ground with
q load, despite being able to fly
perfectly once in the air.
For getting off the ground the
propeller works best nearly flat,
bat for efficient cruising needs
tilted blades to take larger bites
of air.
Still more speed is in sight
from making these variable pitch
propellers automatic. The first
of these has Just been announced.
with a claim that it adds IL miles
an hour.
Apparently due soon is the wing
which can change its size, and
grow both longer and wider under
the pilots control. This is an old
idea whose realization has been
slow.
Taper of wing tips, making
them more pointed. is another
growing speed element.
