CLEVELAND, May 8.-The muf-
fed roar of an airplane engine rolled
out of an inclosed chamber, and two
men at the control panel in an ad-
Joining cubicIe studied rows Of dials
and indicators.
Thus. first research activities were
started today at what soon is to be
the worlds largest aircraft engine
laboratory.
The men were DR.. George w.
Lewis, director of aeronautical re-
search, and John F.. Victory, secre-
tary of the National Advisory Com
mittee for Aeronautics. They inau-
gurated research in the first OF six
major units of the N. A. c. AS $l8,-
100000 Cleveland laboratory, which
they declare will surpass anything
in existence when it reaches full
operation by the end of the year.
Originally planned for compile
ton over period of two and one
half years, this new N. A. c. A. lab
oratory is being rushed to compile
ton at least one year ahead Of
schedule because of its Importance
in our present war effort" said DR..
Lewis.
Wind Tunnel for Motors.
First operations were in the en-
CINE propelled research building. Its
two torque stands are capable OF
testing engines up to 1000 horse
power. Five other research units
will follow an engine research build
ing, the only engine research wind
tunnel of it's type in the world, a
fuel and lubricant building. a flight
research hangar and an Ice tunnel
The engine research building will
be equipped to study multi-cylinder
power plants in units OF a single
cylinder or in their entirety. Motor
accessories, the stress on parts and
the recovery of heat lost through
the exhaust or through the cooling
of cylinders also will be studied.
Present exhaust-type superchargers
utilize some escaping heat, but at
temptS will be made to use greater
proportions.
Horsepower Increase Sought.
Developments in this building will
be put to stratospheric tests in the
wind tunnel. Whole engines with a
rating of 5000 horsepower, operat-
ing at conditions found at $4,000
feet and at temperatures as low as
ST degrees below zero can be tested.
The N. A. c. A. says engines capable
Of these feats are still to be built.

Suddenly he became both digniied and angry.
"Is no way to talk to a lady, he called from
the darkness of the cab 'Your bad manners is
estupendous."
The big man glanced up furiously and once
more began to shake Clarice. SO it's truer'
he thundered. II heard you had been running
around with Cuban. Well, we can correct
that situation right now!"
Paco's dignity and anger vanished. He
ordered the driver to get going, and that worthy
obediently jammed the car into gear.
Two blocks later Paoo said, "Whew! Almost

And then suddenly, he remembered Miguel.

In that respect, however, he was mistaken
Hours spent with Clarice Borden might be
described as hectic, but never dismal. 1t was
shortly after eight that night when Paco got
his first sample of what was to come. Clarioe
opened the door of the vast brownstone house
and gushed: 'tOh, you're Mr.. Fernandez! I'm
50 glad to know you"
Thank you," Paco said, dazed. ''rhe feel
is mutuous."
Clarice could have been anywhere from
twenty-five to forty. She was amply supplied
with curves, and bothered to conceal few of
them. Paoo began to realize why Miguels
baseball had slipped.
He realized it better as the evening pro-
gressed. Clarice dragged him from one spot
to another, scarcely pausing in any of them
long enough to catch her breath. She insisted
that Paoo was marvellous dancer and forced
him to bounce around the various floors with
her in execution of what she quantity termed
the real rumba. Conversations, about Miguel
or anything else, never proceeded beyond the
third syllable.
WHY do you keep trying to talk about
him." Clarice asked at length. Don't you
realize I'm perfectly happy with you?"
Eyes, but you no understand" Paco said
hastily. Miguel is crazy for you. He thinks
you are pajamas of the cat"
She shrugged. "I'm not interested in what
Miguel thinks
THAT is great mistake. Miguel is won
derful man."

It was no use On the way home in taxi
he tried one last time. Listen, Clarice, you
do not realize what you do. Miguel have

Paco's hopes died He had done his best for
Miguel and had failed utterly. Barring mir
acle, Miguels major league baseball career and
his own two hundred dollars would fade into
obscurity, hand in hand.
The taxi drew up before Clarices home and
halted behind another cab. man was emerg-
