MORE EFFICIENT PLANE CONTROL GREATEST NEED .Report to Congress Cites Fallibility of Human Element. Ky Science Service WASHINGTON, Jan. 3—Rather than expect airplane pilots to be i'jpermen, who will always function at 100 per cent efficiency in an emergency, designers of airplanes must try to improve the construction of their machines to the point where they will be easier to land, will not have a tendency to spin and have satisfactory “controlability." Such are the conclusions reached oy the national advisory committee tor aeronautics in its annual report to congress. The department of commerce made an analysts of air accidents n 1928, and came to the conclusion that in nearly half of the mishaps, the pilot was to blame. Had his judgment been better, or had he not become confused by some untoward let of circumstances, had his “reaction” been better and quicker, the situation would have been met adequately. While this is all true enough, and while medical supervision of pilots, always strict, is likely to become even more stringent, nevertheless flying should be made safer through the elimination from airplanes of today certain undesirable aerodynamic characterJstica, the report states. It may be necessary for military airplanes to be able to spin for military maneuvers. It is neither necessary nor at all desirable for civil airplanes to have this tendency. Other factors in airplane safety which have to do with design are stability and controllability. Whether the controls are being held by the pilot or left free, one should be able to proceed in a desired direction and at a desired altitude. Many airplanes do not have satisfactory stability, in stalled flight. Scientific work is going on all the time in an effort to work out improved stability. As for the factor of controllability, ■t is noted that while most airplanes have satisfactory controllability in normal flight, if the plane is stalled the controls operate in a most confusing manner. After a spin has developed for several turns, it is often true that the controls become ineffective. While work is proceeding in an effort to solve this problem. there is much still to be done. The formation of ice on airplanes is regarded as an element of danger, and this question is being studied at the Langley memorial aeronautics laboratory. Protective coatings for aircraft surfaces have been attempted, but have not shown themselves to be conspicuously successful as yet.

In India Crisis

PS

Lord Irwin, British viceroy for India (above), and Mahatma Gandhi, native leader in the newest movement for Indian independence and complete separation from England, are pictured here. It was feared that the breakdown of conferences between them would be followed by serious disturbances. HIGH PRICE OF BEAUTY French Woman Spend $300,000,000 a Year for Cosmetics. PARIS, Jan. 3. —French women spend more money than any other nationality for beauty aids. The reason lies in the constant change in styles and shades of lipsticks, rouges, face powders and all other cosmetics. Over here the manufacturers’ slogan is: “A complexion for every dress." It costs French women $300,000,000 a year to follow this slogan. MOTHERS 25 CHILDREN Laborer’s Wife Has Had Plenty of Experience in Role.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

\A. Edison has predicted that increasingly noisy cities will end by deafening all of their citizens permanently. In the congested portions of typical American cities about threefifths of the noise is produced by automobile trucks, about one-fifth by street cars and the remaining fifth by excavation and building machinery, motor horns and other miscellaneous sources. Obviously, few of these major ncise makers can be abolished altogether. Is it possible to make any of them less noisy? Recent New York City tests show that it is, writes Dr. E. E. Free in the January Popular Science Monthly. Dr. Free made the first scientific noise survey of New York, an investigation from which grew the

present agitation for quieter streets, offices and homes. Most automobile trucks, he declares, range from five to twenty times noisier than pleasure cars. Yet seme trucks are scarcely noisier than pleasure cars. The chief cause of the difference Is carelessness, either of the truck manufacturer who did not trouble to make his mechanism relatively noiseless, or. more often, of the truck owner or driver who does not take care to have his vehicle properly serviced at frequent intervals.
