THREE NATIONS RACE FOR FIRST OOEANAiR LINE U. $., Britain and Germany Building Craft for Passengers. B,p United Press LONDON, June 7.—Aircraft designers in the United States, Britain and Germany, are engaged in a race for the honor of establishing the first trans-Atlantic passenger service. Aeronautical experts predict that such a service is a certainty by the end of the present summer. The United States and Britain intend to rely on dirigibles to achieve their objective, while Germany hopes to inaugurate both a dirigible and flying-boat service. Britain Rushes Blimp At Howden, Yorkshire, the Airship Guaranty Company of Britain is tushing the completion of two airships of 5,000,000 cubic feet capacity, to be known as the *4IOO and RlOl. The former will be the first to leave the hangar and is expected to take the air on its initial trial in mid-August. It is hoped to fly it .across to the United States at the beginning of September. On its return journey the designers aim to carry 100 passengers. Germany Is keeping a watchful eye on its English rival. Work is going on night and day at Friedrichshafen where the air liner 1Z127 is rapidly taking shape. Build Flying Boat Now that Germany, together with Ireland, holds the honor of the first trans-Atlantic airplane flight from East to West, the effort to see thatthe German flag is the first to be carried triumphantly across the Atlantic on a permanent passengercarrying service increases. Meanwhile, a flying-boat, designed to carry twenty-five to thirty passengers, at a speed of 125 miles an hour over a distance of 2,500 miles is being constructed at the Cornier Wal seaplane works at Altenrhein, Switzerland. When complete it will be a veritable giant of the air. Twelve engines, arranged in six tandems of two each, with twelve propellers, developing over 5,000 horse-power, will drive the monster on its course, U. S. Hopes on Dirigible The Aquitania of the air will have a motor power double that of the dirigible IZ-127. No airplane or seaplane has hitherto had more than four motors. The hopes of the United States are understood to lie in the allmetal dirigible MC-2, with its revolutionary characteristics such as new principles in regard to shape, and a method of control differing radically from previous dirigibles.

They are specially equipped for passenger service, each having baggage compartments. Mr. and Mrs. Dean Wakefield, Wabash, are new students at the flying field here. Enter Model Planes More than 500 American youths skilled in making model airplanes will compete in the first national meet of the Airplane Model League of America, June 29 tt> 30 in connection with the Detroit AirOlympics. The model planes will be flown in indoor and outdoor events in competition for 200 trophies and medals, and $3,000 in cash prizes. Two of the boys under 21 making the best showing will be sent to Europe to exhibit their models in London, Paris and Geneva. The boy under 21 who wins the scale model contest will go to the National Air Races at Los Angeles as guest of the Aero Digest. Entrants in this event need not go to Detroit, but may ship their models to Detroit to be judged. Outdoor models may have a wingspan cf no more than forty inches. Indoor _models may be no longer than fifteen inches from propeller shaft to rear hook. Scale models must have a wingspan of exactly twenty-four inches and must be made from authenticated drawings of larger ships. Models made by Indianapolis Boy Scouts and public school classes were shown at the recent Indianapolis aeronautical exposition at Indianapolis airport. Experts Sail for Europe Bp United Press NEW YORK, June 7.—Three officials of the newly-organized Trans-Continental Airways, Inc., which will operate combined train and plane service between New York and Los Angeles sailed today on the steamship Belgenland to study European air lines.

AIRMEN HOP 24 HOURS AHEAD IN SEWS TIME Whole Day Is Added When International Date Line Is Crossed. Bn Science Service WASHINGTON, June 7.—The feat of the crew of the Southern Cross, flying to Australia, of jumping twenty-four hours ahead at the moment they crossed the 180th meridian just before landing at Suva, sometimes will be repeated in an even more startling way. When a plane makes the trip the other way, it actually may be possible for them to arrive the day before they started! These curious effects are the result of the International Date Aine, as astronomers and navigators have agreed to call the 180th meridian of longitude. When a person travels from New York to San Francisco, it is necessary for him to set his watch back an hour every .time he enters anew time belt. Would Be Day’s Difference When it is 5 o’clock in New York, it is 4 in Chicago, 3 in Denver and 2 in San Francisco. If one were to keep on going around the world, setting his watch back an hour every fifteen degrees of longitude that he traveled, when he returned to New York, his watch would read the same as other clocks there, but it would be the same time the preceding day, for ‘the watch would have been set back a full twentyfour hours! Os course, this is ridiculous, so that some place on the trip westward around the globe it is necessary to make up for the one that would otherwise be lost. This is done at the international date line, and when or airplanes cross this line from east side to west side, as did the Southern Cross, they must add a day. If it is Monday on the east side, it is Tuesday on the west. One Day Is Dropped However, coming the other direction, the day must be dropped. Therefore if, and when, a plane travels from Suva, which is on the west side of the date line, to Honolulu, on the east, it might start on Tuesday, and after it had been out an hour or so, it would be Monday, the day before. Suppose the fliers started at 5 p. m. on Tuesday, after they had been away for a full twenty-four hours, it would be 5 p. m. on Tuesday, again. If they made the same speed as tjrj Southern Cross, they would take thirty-five hours for the trip, but arrive about eleven hours after they started, according to the calendar.

But the honor of building the first steam-propelled v'essel probably belongs to an Englishman named Jonathan Hulls, who built a steamboat in 1736.
