MODEL SHIP BASIN
HELD VITAL NEED
Admiral Land Points Out
Plans Long Ready, but
Funds Lacking.

The urgent need for model ship
testing basin to permit research in
marine problems was stressed yester-
day in the annual report of Rear
Admiral Emory Scott Land, chief of
the Navy Bureau of Construction and
Repair.
He pointed out that plans and
specifications for this have long been
ready, but the Navy lacks funds for
constructing an up-to-date model
basin. Lacking this the service, as
well as the American merchant
marine. is forced to use the obsolete
basin that has long done duty at the
Washington Navy Yard.
The United States Engineer once
has collaborated with the Navy IN sug-
costing a suitable site near Washing
ton for the projected basin. The Ma
t;onal Capital Park and Planning
Commission recommended that this be
erected near Conduit road, not lar
from the Cabin John Bridge IN Mary
land. where suitable rock foundations
we're established by the engineers. A
site at Fort Myer, Va, was also under
consideration.
Behind Other Nations.
Fmphasizing the need for the basin,
Admiral Land said:
Not a single up-to-date expert
mental model basin exists in TINS
country today, in which respect other
maritime nations have outstrlpped us.
While the work being conducted at
the present basin has been gratifying
along certain lines, it is felt that the
engineers and naval architects OF thlS
country are handicapped in the in
vestipation of the complex problems
that arise in the effort to improve
efficiency of our vessels.
TT is hoped that this vital need OF
tn Navy Department and of the coun-
trv as a whole will be met by the
ALLEGATION of funds to permit prompt
undertaking of the construction OF
new model basin, the plans and specl-
fications for which have long been
ready"
FOrty-six Warshpis Under way.
Admiral Land recalled that As war
ships were under construction at the
end of the fiscal year for which the
report is made. These include two
2OOOO-ton aircraft carriers; three
lO.OOO-ton, 8-inch gun cruisers; four
1o0oO-ton. 6-inch gun cruisers; eight
185O-ton destroyers; tWenty-three l.
h.
marines. and two 2000-ton gunboats.
On the whole, with funds available,
the fleet has been maintained lin a
fairly satisfactory condition of ma
terial readiness" the report said.

New York Cotton

NEW YORK, November Is R.-
Cotton futures opened barely steady,
to points lower, with steady Liver
pool cables Offset by liquidation and
Southern selling December. 1920;
January, 1926; March, 1891; May,
1894; July, 1921; October, 1903.
The early selling, which included
further December liquidation and
some Southern hedging, was absorbed
by buying on the relatively firm show
ing Of Liverpool. and houses with
Liverpool connections were good buy
ers here on the differences. This
steadied the market right after the
call and prices worked back to about
yesterdays closing quotations with
business moderately active at the end
of the first half hour Some of the
early buying here seemed to be COM
ing from the Far East, including
Bombay, but Liverpool was the more
prominent buyer. The opening steadi-
ness Of the stock market was prob
ably a contributing factor on the
rally. Liverpool cables reported Bonn
bay and Alexandria buying in that
market with general business restrict
ed pending a definite announcement
on next years American crop acreage
plans.
The volume of business tapered of
after the close Of Liverpool, but the
trade bought near months while there
was fair scattering demand for later
deliveries and prices held generally
steady. At midday December was
selling around 1924 and March, 1898,
or about net unchanged to points
higher. A good part Of the early
trading seemed to be connected with
the evening up Of December and there
was considerable switching from near
to late months.

ROADS TO AIR-EQUIP
$500 PASSENGER CARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, November is The
Western railroads have adopted q
program providing for the installation
Of conditioning equipment in ap-
proximately $500 passenger cars by
the Summer Of 1885, according to an
announcement made by H. G. Tay-
lor, chairman of the Western Asso-
citation Of Railway Executives. Under
this expanded program every i'm
portant through train in Western ter
ritory will be air-conditioned through
out.
The Western railroads in December,
1888, started a campaign to increase
their passenger traffic. The first step
was to radically reduce passenger
fares, one-way and round trip. The
results from that experiment have
been more than encouraging. Their
next step was to air condition lounge
cars and dining cars, and those cars
were placed in service last Summer.
That action met with such favor by
the travelling public that an even
more extensive program has been
adopted for 1885.
