REPORT PREDICTS
LARGER A|RPLANES
AeronautiCS Advisers Also
See New Type Engines
in Near Future.

Larger airplanes than those of to-
day, with greater range and load
capacity. powered with engines of
new type housed entirely inside the
wings are to be the development of the
immediate future, the National Advis-
DRY Committee for Aeronautics pre-
dicted in its annual report to Con-
gress, made public today.
The committee expressed the belief
that private flying is due to increase
greatly and will in time "offer a new
and enlarged outlet for the energies
of the American people"
The most reasonable expectation of
developing a large aviation industry
in the United States, the committee
reported, lies in the volume production
at low cost of safe and efficient air.
planes for the private user. The prob
lens involved in producing such an
airplane, it was reported. ARE funda-
mental and no nation has yet found
solution to them, despite many
efforts.
Engines Larger.
The N. A. c. A. has included an
intensive study of the problems affect
ing development of satisfactory light
aircraft for private use as part of its
program of fundamental research, it
was reported.
Airplane engine sizes are increasing
largely and air-cooled engines of
1000 to 1000 horsepower now are
practicable, it was reported.
The committee reported "encour-
aging progress" in improving the
economics Of air transportation. Me-
chanical needs are still greater maxi
mum speeds, coupled with lower land
ing speeds. ability to land safely in
smaller areas. and greater control at
the low landing and take-off speeds it
was found
The committee characterized the
past year as lone Of the most notable
in the remarkable record of progress
in American aviation during the past
two decades" and foresaw a continu-
alton Of this unusual rate Of progress
during the coming year.
Sea Transportation Urged.
The committee announced that its
new 500-mile- perl hour wind tunnel is
expected to make possible research
work leading to the use Of the highest
speeds attainable in the new aircraft
with relative safety"
The committee recommended adop-
ton Of Federal airship policy calling
for construction OF two experimental
rigid airships for transoceanic service
and encouragement of private develop
nent and operation of large seaplanes
across the seas.
The report contained descriptions
OF the numerous research programs
now being carried on by the commit
tees $50 research workers at Langley
Field, Va, dealing with every phase
OF aeronauticS. The report marks the
close Of 20 years Of research work by
the N. A. c. A., which was Established
by act OF Congress in March, 1915.

The beggars show more originality

from passers-by. many Of them rent
babies by the day at so much per

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, TAX

spread economic arrangement ever expert
eneed by the American people, instituted
many changes in the Government. Whole
new batteries of departmental machinery,
almost equal in extent and powers to
those which, up to 1893, constituted the
American Government, were brought in
to being. They touch directly or indi-
rectly the interests of every citizen-they
reach straight to YOU. These agencies

BERNARD MAKES
D. c. DEBUT
TONIGHT

The man who whipped Barney
Ross just a few months before
the latter won the lightweight
championship from Tony Can
zoneri, Roger Bernard, takes a
stand here tonight at the Au-
ditorium in 10-round match
against Joe Doherty, of Brook
Iyn, New York.
With the exception of Freddy
Miller, the Rajah is unquestion-
ably the classiest featherweight
battler to appear here in months.
He is a puncher and a great
boxer. The fact that he knocked
out Eddie Burl and broke two OF
the latter's ribs in accomplishing
the trick reveals this fact.
Unmarked
Twenty-seven years old, the
Frenchman is unmarked and still
ready to meet the best in either
the featherweight or lightweight
division. He has whipped men
whom champions have refused to
meet including such names as
Harry Dublinsky, Tony Herrera,
Battling Battalino, Eddie Ander-
son, Pete Zivic and others.
Doherty, his popular young op-
ponent, is just coming along IN the
beak busting business, but the way
he polished off frankie Woltman
two weeks ago, is enough proof
that it won't be long now. Do
herty was not in the best OF con-
dition for that battle, having been
inactive for over a month, but ne
is reported to be in top form for
this one.
Miller In Action
The colorful Baby Miller, Cuban
Seminole, attacks Angelo Man
ners, of New York, in the feature
six-round tiff. Manners is substi-
tuting for Al Ragone. Miller
threatens to become a great card
here.
Another six-rounder brings to-
gether joey Teens, the Greek
dynamiter and Al Gillette, of New
York. Gillette has been here be-
fore and made a hit.

The Washington club offices
were broken into one night a
year ago, and while considerable

attempts at jimmying doors and

Griffs' Possibilities Fair
Well, Washington has had it's
first glimpse of its 1885 baseball
entry, and off of the four games
played at home, the team showed
fair possibilities. There is no
question about the pitchers be-
ing backward, but I believe that
was to be expected in view Of
the sethacks received from the
weather dispenser during the
preseason pointing-up.
That postponement yesterday
was a bitter blow to the clubs

I. Little

The most interesting bit of golf
in months hits Washington's
sportloving fans right in the eye
today when Lawson Little. British
and American golf champion, ap-
pears at the Indian Spring course.
Little, who hits a golf ball fur
ther than any golfer of the pres
ent era, will compete in a four
ball exhibition match at 2 p. m.
Playing with him will be Roger
Peacock, Maryland State titlist,
while against Little and Peacock
will be Roland Mackenzie, Con-
gressional professional and for
mer Walker Cup star, and George
Diffenbaugh, host club member.
Little is only here for the day.
He leaves tonight for Paterson,
N. j., where he will spend a few
days before sailing on the Aqui-
tania for England.
Unless the wind is unfavorable,
Little should thrill spectators with
his tremendous driving powers to-
day. This is what has ranked the
big Californian among the top
notchers in the professional realm
of golf.
