SPEED PLANES.

NJ A4A 4 AE1ANLOs
What is the fastest airplane In the
world and what company makes it,
one of our readers wants to know.
The Army claims that it will
shortly gain the speed record OF the
world with its new twin-engined
Lockheed P-38 interceptor pursuit
plane The Lockheed has a triple
bladed propeller and can climb
1000 feet a minute. reaching a
speed of 500 miles an hour. At this
writing. it is being tested in Bur-
bank Calf, but is not yet in produc-
ton.
The Navy announces speedy
winner in the shipboard fighter.
the F-4-U now under construction
at the Vought- -Sikorsky plant in
Bridgeport, Conn. The 1000 horse
power radial air-cooled motor is
being manufactured at the Pratt
and Whitney Aircraft division in
East Hartford, Conn. This Eau
with its speed of 400 miles an hour
is faster than the British Hurricane
at 355 and the German Heinkel at
358. 1t is generally believed that
the F-4-U is the fastest plane in the
world today.
We hear great deal of argument
pro and con about liquid cooled en-
glneS and alr.CoOled engines. The
Army supports the liquid type. The
NoUyy hac noroSjcroroflyr CT,
air-cooled engine OF course there
are some who prove quite definitely
that the air-cooled engine such as
the Eau is cheaper to manufac-
ture. Others insist the liquid-cooled
engine presents less frontal area
and consequently makes possible
the construction of a streamlined,
faster plane. Experts may definitely
settle this question in the near
future.
What is most interesting to me is
the story back of the air-cooled en-
gine. This powerful motor was con-
structed by young airplane de-
signer named George Mead. He
built the original motor in tobacco
warehouse that had once been a
machine tool shed owned by Pratt
and Whitney. Young Mead and two
ambitious associates had faith and
energy enough to raise $1,000 1000
to construct and sell six of these
air-cooled engines TO the Navy. That
was Is years ago. Pratt and Whit
ney have been selling the Navy
ever since.

United States in one of the class
rooms.
However, now that our planning
is so far along, we may start build
ing rustic fence and doing little
bit of planting before school closes
this month. Then, the garden
work will be resumed during the
next school year. with the benefit
of additional rocks gathered on
travels of the pupils this summer.
We have earned some money to
spend on the gardens by collecting
and selling old papers.
So far as we know, there is only
one other States rock garden in
existence. 1t is in Dayton, Ohio.
We want to make our garden as
pretty as possible. The plans, in
which many boys and girls have
assisted with ideas and actual draw
ings, call for winding paths, with
some benches along the way. AS
the project progresses, we hope to
add such things as lily pond or
a small waterfall.
The best flowers for rock garden
grow on mountain tops, and we will
use some of them in our garden.
Already we have heard talk by an
expert on gardens who helped us
choose a suitable site on the school
grounds.
The principal of our school, Mrs.
Anna Rose, is quite interested in
the garden, and she brought back
a rock from Grand Canyon when
she returned from a Western trip
last summer.

YOU can ride for miles and miles
without going through any towns at
sll-where as far as the eye can see
are well-kept farm lands, orchards
or rolling mountain streams.
If you have never seen covered
bridge, YOU might try counting just
how many you can see, You won
have to look at billboards and ad-
vertising. You can sit back in the
car and relax while your eyes drink
in the beauties of unchanged nature.
AS the miles just roll away, big
mountain looms ahead OF you, but,
surprisingly, you just enter tunnel
and with a blink of the eye you are
out again with the mountain behind
you.
There are seven tunnels on this
wonderful drive, some a little more
than mile long and some less.
You can drive for over $50 miles
If you wish, or you can go a much
shorter distance. The driver never
needs to worry about passing cars
on the hills or getting behind a slow
truck, because a lane divide east
and west bound traffic, and the road
Is wide with room for many cars.

motorists dream about. then treat
