Aviation NAVY OFFICER DESIGNS PLANE TO CARRY 250 Gigantic. Double-Winged Ship Able to Lift Huge Load. Bu VFi Service BAN DIEGO. Cal.. Aug. 9.—A gigantic double-winged airplane, the first, commercial plane designed in the United States which even remotely approaches the 100-passen-ger Dornier seaplane tested recent]v in Germany, has been designed by Harold Karr, a chief petty officer of the navy. Karr's plane, of the type which aircraft, experts believe ultimately will be used extensively in transoceanic passenger, freight and mail service, has a 130-foot fuselage, a span of ninety-six feet and 4.600 square feet of wing surface, giving it a lift of 85.000 pounds. The navy pilot's plane has an even greater passenger capacity than the German Rohrbach tripledeck plane that soon is to attempt a trans-Atlantic flight with 120 passengers. Karr’s plane is expected to be able to carry 250 passengers on a nonstop flight of 500 miles or eighty passengers for a continuous trip of ♦.OCO miles. For a decade. Karr has experimented. discarded and rebuilt models. Now he has developed a design which tests at the Guggenheim School of Aeronautics. New' York university, indicate lifts twice the load that can be carried aloft by other planes of similar wing span. It is a long tandem biplane with two sets of wings. The rear wing sections, wind tunnel tests indicate, operate to 96.6 per cent efficiency. Former models, tested in various wind tunnels of the world, added only 40 per cent to the life of the front wings, not enough to make them practicable. The double-winged plane will be powered with five 400-horsepower motors, being placed in the nose and on each wing section. The ship w ill- be equipped with double landing gear. Tt will have an estimated top speed of 130 miles per hour and a cruising speed of 100 miles per hour. Air Mail Mark Shattered All records for air mail dispatched from the Indianapolis postofflee w ere broken in July, when the Em-brv-Riddle mail planes carried 1.246 pounds of mail from here, Postmaster Robert H. Btvson reported today. The poundage exceeded by 230 pounds the recod shipment of December, 1928. of 1.016 pounds. December air mail was heavy because es first anniversary of inauguration of the line, and sending of Christjnas presents by air mail. Much of the increase in July was attributed to Inauguration by the Embry-Riddle Company of three round trips daily on the Cincinnati-Indianapolis-Chicago route. The three round trips daily, including one night round trip, greatly increase the time saved business houses in sending mail matter to distant points. The northbound planes leave here at 4:45 a. m., 10:15. a. m., and 5:15 p. m, while southbound departure schedule is 10:15 a. m.. 345 p. m. and 1045 p. m. The four-day planes carry passengers, while the two flight planes are for mail only.

About 500 were present. Mrs. Julia Sterrett of Castleton, uho, on Oct. 2, Fill be 90 years old, settled back comfortably in a hand--1 some easy chair given her as re-

Lease, 6108 Marion avenue, who has not missed an Old Settlers’ picnic since the 80’s, told oj the first telephone he saw in Indianapolis. Joke on Reporter “That was in about 1882,” he said. “People didn’t know the new device when they saw it. I recall an incident in the lunchroom at the Union station. The proprietor, named Quinn, was a great joker. Responding to the general curiosity about the mysterious new' talking affairs, he rigged up a good sized box, with a piece of hose on one side and a bell on the other.” The written history of .China goes back 4.000 years, or nearly twice as long as that of Europe.
