to the wings, and Of low-wins
mohoplanc type, eneined by four
two-row, radial, air-coolcd motors
of between 5000 and 1000 horse
power.
1t could carry a total payload
of 5, 100 pounds, including 20 pas
sengcrs, luggage, and half a ton
of mail and express, and complete
coaSt-to-coast fight over night
without usnig more than 60 per
cent of the rated power of the
motors.
RANGE OF 1850 MILES
The airliner would have a gross
weigh tot about 10000 pounds, Il
range of 1850 miles, a cruising
speed Of 225 miles an hour at
10000 feet and could fly easily
at $4,000 feet even with one en-
CINE dead.
To cut down ari resistance, the
engineers proposed all external
projections, such as door handles.
window lodges and even rivet
heads, be eliminated. BY having
the landing gear retractable. it
was figured a 20 per cent power
increase for cruising would result.
The interior arrangement OF
the plane would include a cab in
the nose of the ship for the pilots
and radio operator; a gallery,
dressing rooms for men and wo-
men, ten sections Of two berhts
each, cargo space beneath the
floor, and ventilating and heating
systems. The main-cabin space
would be 10 feet wide and 40 feet
long. Sound insulation would re-
duce the noise level to below that
of Pullman car.
SMALL PLANE CHEAPER
The engineers also envisaged the
future airplane," which wuold
have a smaller wing area, smaller
power plant, lighter gross weight
for the same payload, range and
speed. and would cut operating
costs from 23 to Is cents per ton
mile of payload.
Regarding stratosphere flying,
Mead and DR.. Hunsaker said they
believed the upper lanes practical
bic only for nonstop or trans
continental flights.
"Otherwise," they said. IAN UNI
due proportion of the flight time
would be spent in climbing to and
descending from the operating al
titude."

During period OF fiery perse'
cution and probably near the close
of the first century, John was ban,

in the Aegean Sea. Here he was
commissioned TO write his match
less Apocalypse to the seven
churches I'm Roman Asia. ....
THE ABSORPTION TO JESUS
The Revelation of Character is
embodied In p the absorption to
Jesus. The first word OF John to
the seven churches is a word about
Jesus, Notice: CD His mercy as
the g!ver of grace and peace;,l2)
his existence in eternity unbegun
and unending; (3) his sovereignty
among the spirits before his
throne; (4) his fidelity as witness;
(5) his power over the grave;
(Gj his kingship .oyei, all rulers;
GA his love even to the 'hedding
of blood; Isl his, liberation of US
from sin: co. his transformation
of us into kings and priests (lO)

shall see. and every tribe shall
mourn; (l2) his creative and con.
summating work as Alpha and
Omega. and (l3) his omniPOtence
as, the Almighty. e. I.y'a ".
THE CALI. FROM JESUS .,.'.a.
The Revelation of Duty is given
in the call from Jesus. That call
came to John not as beloved dis
ciple or as apostle, though sole
survivor of the twelve. or as pas
tor of great churches in Asia, but
as the brother of believers, suffer-
ing for their faith. The call came
to him in exile on PatmoS tl5
miles in circumference and "a
miles from the mainlandD whittier
he had been sen ,tbecauSc OF the
truth he held and Of the testimony
he gave. The call came on the
Lords day., the first day of the
week on which he rose from the
dead, and the day which John e"'.
IDENTIFY was spending in worship.
The call came Enthusiastically in
voice that was loud indeed but
articuIate. The call outlined a di-
vine task. "See-write-send"
And the call defined the specific
field as the seven representative
churches in Asia Minor, the thea
ter of Johns principal activities.
First, Ephesus, his home; then
Smyrna, 40 miles northward; then
Pergamum, Thyatire, Sardis, Phil

were, the candlesticks were less

Reservation C, which runs from the
south Mall drive to Maryland avenue

|NAUGURALP[ANS
START AT CAPITOL
Work on Ceremony Begun
Early Because Rites Will
Be in MidWinter.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.


Regardless Of who Is elected Presi-
dent in November, the winner will find
arrangements already well under way
at the Capitol for the inaugural cere-i
mony. II
The reason for this prediction de-
signing Of the platform, which Is al
ways built out beyond the portico on
the east front Of the Capitol. Is the
fact that this win be the first tnau-
guration to be held on the new Md
winter date Of January 20. :
Prior to the Norris constitutional
amendment, four months elapsed be-
tween the election and the induction
into office Of the President and Vice
President, and during that time the
old Congress met In December. with
three months in which to authorize
plans for the inaugural.
Congress Meets January 5.
Under the new system the next
Congress will not meet until January
S. Realizing this would leave only
is days in which to authorize and
carry out the preparations, II they
waited until after election, congress
sional leaders passed the necessary
authorizations before they adjourned
in June. Incidentally, the regular date
for the assembling Of a new Congress
Is now January 8, but since that
date falls on Sunday in 1887, the
last Congress made special provision
to convene on January for this one
year. ~.
An appropriation of $4,000 was
made to enable David Lynn, architect
Of the Capitol, to erect the platform
and for other necessary expenses in
connection with the inaugural cere-
monies at the Capitol. Lynn showed
a tentative design for the platform to
Col. Edwin A. Halsey, secretary Of the
Senate. yesterday.
Plans Must Be Approved.
All Of the tentative plans. however,
are subject to approval later by the
Joint Congressional Committee on In
augural Ceremonies. This committee,
appointed in June, Is composed of
Senator Nicely of West Virginia, chair
man, and Senators Robinson Of Ar
kansas and Hale of Maine. together
with Representatives O'Connor of New
York, Doughton of North Carolina
and Smell of New York. The COM
