Device Ends Ice Peril
For Planes. Is View

The bureau, in July of this
year, assigned the problem of de-
icing aircraft propellors to one
of its engineers. I. R. Metcalf.
Among the subjects suggested
for study by Mr.. Metcalf was the
construction of a Singer ring"
The devices were made and
tested on a test stand as we'll as
in actual flying, a report being
returned that the Singer rings"
performed satisfactorily.
The device is arranged in such
a manner as to permit the pilot
to control the flow from the
cockpit. 1t provides for the con-
tinuous application of alcohol or
any other de-icing solution to the
blades for five hours of continu-
Gus flying, if necessary.

Ice formation on propeller
blades-one of aviation's greatest
enemieS-WaS believed today to be
virtually conquered through a de-
vice developed by the Bureau of
Air Commerce in cooperation with
the aeronauticS industry.
According to the bureau, the de-
vice is a simple affair known as
the Singer ring" 1t provides
for continuous feeding of an anti
ice solution to the propeller blades
while the aircraft is in flight.
The ring. about IL inches in
diameter, two inches wide and
weighing about two pounds. it at
tached to the back of a propeller
at the hub. 1t is now installed
for practical service trials under
ice conditions found in flight.

PLANS PUSHED
FOR SEWER

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Dec,
18.-Civic leaders mere today
were pushing their plans for a
ST, 900 town sewerage system for
which they hope to secure a
grant of $4,000 from the WPA.
With their application already
on file in the WPA offices in
Washington, town leaders laid
plans at a meeting last night
to conduct an informal referen-
dunn providing the WPA approves
their plans.
Despite signs of protest at the
meeting last night, the town lead
ers are confident of a majority
vote in the event of a referen-
dunn.

Cheaper Lights Seen
In City Purchase
OF Dam Site

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. 10.
Keen interest in the possibility Of
a municipally-owned electric plant
for Alexandria City was shown to-
day in Mayor E. C. Davison's
reply to a letter offering AleXan-
dria natural water dam site for
its central base to manufacture
electricity.
Referring to the letter which
stated Alexandria could purchase
this site for a reasonable figure"
and thereby manufacture sui.
ficient current for both municipal
and domestic needs, Mayor Davi'
son stated:
Naturally I'm interested in
the proposal. I'm for any plan
that will give the city a munich
pal utility that will result in
cheaper service to the people of
the city and at the same time
make money for the city so that
the revenues can result in a re-
ductiOn of taxes.
PLANS INVESTIGATION
"As to this particular prOpo.
SitiOn, I'm not prepared now
to say whether / personally
favor it or not, for l must
have time to make a thorough
investigation of its merits.
However, certainly intend to
obtain all facts pertaining to
this particular proposal and
present them to the city cOun.
Gil for their consideration. OF
course, if I'm convinced that
it will offer the cheapest manu-
facturer Of power for Alexan-
dria City, and we can not Sc
cure reasonable rates other
wise, then I'll support this
movement"
Replying to the letter offering
the dam site, the Mayor said he
would lay the matter before the
city council at its next meeting.
Additional information concern
ing the proposed plant, which
the Mayor deemed necessary be.
fore any consideration could be
expected from the city council,
was outlined in the Mayors re.
ply as follows:
SEEKS MORE DATA
'Tn the meantime, in order
that the council may have all
the information available on
this subject, 1 would be pleased
if you will give me the follow
ing information. First: the
size of the present hydroeIec-
trio plant at OccOquan; its
kilOwatt capacity; the class of
machinery involved, and the
approximate price that this
plant could be bought for, with
all of the rights necessary for
the successful operation Of the
plant as a hydr0electric
plant"
Referring to presenting the
matter at the next meeting Of the
council, Mayor Dawson pointed
out that it would not be pre-.
sented at the meeting called this

wide by a mustachioed and van

himself as none other than Mr..

Looking back on this meeting

that no personal quality is as re-

Mrs. Sabin, who was Miss Hayes

simplicity and indebtedness. The

SHOWING OF HOMES,
TOPIC AT CONVENTION
New Type Display Will Be Dis.

tate Boards.

A new type Of home show, under
discussion for months, will be outlined
at the coming twenty-eighth annual
convention of the National Association
of Real Estate Board, to be held at
Atlantic City october 1925.
Henry A. Guthrie, chief Of the ex-
hibition unit, division Of information
of F. H. A., will outline the plan for
the projected new-type shows.
Real estate boards. as the chief
sponsors of home shows, have for q
considerable time been interested in
the development of some plan for such
shows that would give them their
maximum effectiveness in demonstrate
ing to their visitors what is now
possible in planning a modern home
in securing the best financing for
the undertaking, in choosing building
materials, as between conventional
materials and new products, and in
drawing on the great recent advance
in household equipment to make the
home an efficient machine for the
family's daily living.
Mr.. Guthrie will outline the pro-
posed new type of home exhibition at
the closing general sessions of the
convention. He also will talk infor-
mally on the proposed shows at an
earlier luncheon meeting of the Real
tor Secretaries Council.
