Flying Wing Capable
OF 500 M.P.H.
Developed al Langley
Government Scientists
Overcome Obstacle
Of Shock Wave

BY the Associated Press.
There's new airplane wing at
Langley Field, Va, that is going to
carry Americas sky fighters faster
than man has ever flown, according
to Government scientists at that
research center and Army air base.
Within the year, possibly, the
United States will use the wing to
build airplanes that will flash
through the skies at 500 miles an
hour, according to the National Ad
visory Committee for Aeronautics,
which directs research at the center.
Aeronautical wiseacres have con-
tended for years that airplanes
would never fly faster than ATS miles
an hour. They said the shock wave"
would tear plane to pieces when it
reached that speed. Even as recent
ly as six months ago the National
Advisory Committee itself had held
to this theory.
Shock Wave Conquered.
But now the committee say it has
conquered the shock wave"
This wave is physical phenom-
enon which an airplane would en-
counter if it attained a speed of ATS
miles an hour. Physicists assert air
flowing over ship of present design
would cause such friction as to
create great heat. Air at this tenn
perature would become heavy, like
a fluid.
How the new wing is going to buck
the shock wave, the scientists do not
explain. Its structure, they say, is
one of the most secret of military
inventions.
They have been able to develop it
through the use of the new wind
tunnel at Langley Field. In this
structure air velocities of TOO miles
an hour can be created.
'Pusher" Propeller Back.
Heavy bombers, as well as light
pursuit ships. can use the wing. 1t
would be flying wing" having no
fuselage, and with motors, rudders
and ailerons all set in the wings.
The wind spread would be about 160
feet-about 20 feet longer than
present ocean liners wings. The
propellers would be in the rear
the "pusher" type.
The present aircraft speed record,
1892 miles an hour, was set several
years ago by German flyer This
rate was attained with stripped
down racing seaplane. But mill
tary airplanes, fully equipped for
duty, such as the Langley Field
technicians are designing, have
never exceeded 800 miles per hour

DEAR MISS DIX: I am very
much concerned over the problem of
my coming marriage. Being a very
quiet man, I enjoy spending my
evenings at home reading. My
prospective bride is very gay
young girl who loves to 60 to par
ties and dances and places of
amusement Will it be possible for
two people with such unlike natures
to have happy and successful
marriage? c. K.
Answer-In marriage it is possible,
though highly unlikely, for the leop-
ard to change its spots, especially
the female of the species. The male
animal is set in his ways and his
coloring and stays as he was.
We have all seen girls who were
so changed by marriage that even
their own mothers scarcely knew
them. We have seen play girls set
tie down into the most domestic Of
wives. We have seen extravagant
girls, who were clothes-ma turn
into penny-pinchers and wearers Of
hand-me-downs when it was their
own money they began spending.
And so on.
While it is true that these mira
cles do happen in domestic circles.
it seems to me that the chances
against them occurring are so great
that it is folly to tempt fate by
marrying some one who doesn't suit
you in the hope that you can change
him or her into something nearer
to your hearts desire. So if you want
fireside companion who loves to
read, why not marry one instead OF
girl who considers every evening
wasted when she is not dancing at
a night club or going places and
seeing things?
The only happy marriages are
those in which husbands and wives
have the same tastes and like to do
the same things.
DEAR MISS DIX: I am 18 and
in love with a man who is engaged
to another girl. He says he loves
me best and the only reason he
doesn't call his engagement off and
marry me is because he hasn't the
heart to break the news to his
flancee. I am satisfied to go with
him whenever he wants me to, but
I am slightly jealous if I see him
with his girl friend and have to
pretend I don't know him. Please
advise me if 1 should keep on 60
ing with him under these terms.
PUZZLED.
Answer-Daughter, did your nurse
drop you on your head when you
were a baby or were you just born
dumb? Otherwise, I can't under
stand your infatuation for a man
who is giving you such a rotten
deal.
You say he won't break his en-
gagement to the other girl because
he doesn't want to hurt her feel
ings. Well, how about hurting your
feelings by inveigling you into a
hopeless love affair? And what do
you find to love and admire in q
man who is such q double -crosser
that no isn't true to either one of
the girls with whom he processes
to be enamored? A long time ago

which resemble that of the South
Pacific islands even though the pre-
vailing winds and currents are from
the northeast. Furthermore, the Ha-
waiians worshiped the same prin-
cipal gods as other Polynesians.
Captain Cook, who landed first on
the little island of Kauai, was treat
ed as a god. Runners were sent
throughout the group of islands to
tell the wonderful news of his COM
ing.
They even described the English
language, initiating it thus: ga hika-
palale, hikapalale, hioluwai, oalaki,
walawalaki, walk poha." If, to us,
this does not resemble English, we
must remember that the Hawaiian
language contains only IL sounds, lat
er translated into letters-fve VOW
els and seven consonants. The run
ners could hardly be expected to
invent sounds like the letter ''s."
A few months later, when Captain
Cook returned, this time to the is
land of Hawaii, to explore and trade,
his crew behaved outrageously. FL
nally a native stole one of the ships
boats, fighting ensued, and the IA
NOUS navigator lost his life.
Captain Cooks Monument.
Captain Cook was honorably bur-
led and his bones were deifed. Near
his monument today are some of
the oldest and most interesting Ha-
waiian remains, things which the
navigator undoubtedly saw in 1873.
The first white missionaries to set
tie in the islands were the Ameri-
cans who arrived in 1920. The great
king, Kamehameha I, on whom these
newcomers had counted for sympa-
thy and assistance, had just died,
but his successor welcomed them.
The missionaries, most of them
from New England, were high-mind-
ed, self-sacrificing, and devoted.
They refrained from exploiting the

Had they not been on hand, Ha-

French, before the middle of the
Nineteenth century. Their influence
on the American government in

Even in those early days it was
vaguely realized in Washington that,
for defensive reasons, Hawaii was
important to the United States.
Kamehameha 1 has been called
by the grandiloquent name of 'Na-
poleon of the Pacific" He certainly
was a good soldier, administrator,
and a man of fine character.
Kamehameha II, weakling in

mehameha III, who reigned long
time, was an able man who, on the
whole, led his people wisely. Kane

impression.
Old Line Dies Out.
After this line died out, Lunalilo,
a high chief, was elected king. He
died soon after assuming the throne,
and David Kalakaua was elected to
succeed him.
Kalakaua took a trip around the
world. Probably he tasted every
wine in every country, for he is re-
ported to have been often in a dazed
condition and not always coherent.

Geography experts have long
sought the solution to the "why"
and the chow" of the first popu-
lation of the Hawaiian islands.
Located in the midst of the Pa
cific ocean, 2,400 miles from
any mainland, the islands pre-
sent a puzzling problem in his
tory of worldwide colonization.
It is practically certain that the
first settlers came from Tahiti or
Samoa about 500 A. D., but why
they came, exactly how they came,
whether they sailed out into the blue
or followed the trail of some legend
airy hero, no man knows. Perhaps
the most plausible explanation is
that they were driven from home
by an invasion of savage people.
There are legends of several voy-
ages back and forth from Samoa
and Tahiti about 600 years later,
and then, for some unknown reason,
all communication with the rest of
the world seems to have ceased I'M

By that time the legends were

by much of the fauna and flora,
