Aviation

THE JET-PROPELLED plane is a fascinating affair, Man had been fiddling with jet propulsion centuries before we knew anything about the -theory of flight. The Wright brothers had designed wings that would develop stable “lift” and could be controlled. Lacking a suitable power plant, they had to build their own. At that, it was a mere adaptation of the motor car engine. They set the trend. And man, always in a hurry, seized the motor car engine and by intensive effort refined it fo what we know today as the modern aircraft power plant. It's truly a wonderful affair, weighing less than one pound of deadweight for every horsepower it develops. As its power increased, its design became more complicated. Nevertheless, it turned out the power, and engineers learned how to use this power to carry greater loads for longer distances and to fly about 468 miles an hour,

Propeller Craft Limited : HOWEVER, ‘all the way up from 300 miles an hour, we clearly understood that, unless a miracle were performed in designing new propellers, about 500 mph. was the top speed for propeller-driven aircraft. 3 The job of making each gain above the 300-mph. mark was so great that little time was devoted to what we would use for power when we had tipped the top speed for propellers and orthodox gasoline engines. ‘As far back as 1923, I heard an engineer say, just off-hand, when discussing the racer I was flying, that the exhaust gases, spitting out into the open air at right angles to the fuselage, offered as much resistance as so many sticks of solid material projecting into the wind. This resistance, of course, only could mean loss of speed. I asked him what would happen if those exhaust gasés cotild be diverted rearward. He quickly replied, “Oh, Youd gain a few more miles an hour.”

My Day

LONDON, Jan. 20.—I'm glad to have discovered that I made a mistake in saying, in a broadcast the other evening, that there were only two women who were full delegates to the UNO assembly. Besides “myself, there are four—Mrs. Evdokia Uralova of White Russia, Miss Minerva Bernardino of the Dominican

! Republic, Miss J. R. McKenzie of New Zealand, and

Miss Ellen ore M. P., of Britain, That is really some encouragement, but I can't say it completely does away with my feeling that there 'are not enough women present here. I want to congratulate all those countries named women as / full delegates. But I still want to emphasize the point that many more women could be found who would » qualify as technical. experts, advisers or alternates. When you are planning for things which will affect t the lives of people on an international scale, the point of view of both men and women is important. 3 An example of this stands out in my mind. A delegate from Yugoslavia made a very excellent speech + In which he pointed out that UNRRA already has returned somie 11,000,000 refugees to their countries. | The total number of displaced persons was originally estimated at about 12,000,000. {In view of this, the delegate could not see why the refugee question was a matter of international con- { cern at all.

Off to one side, there were a few men—comumonly regarded as “cranks"—who kept talking about jetpropelled aircraft some day. We all listened, but turned back to our immediate jobs. Then came the exhaust-driven supercharger (turbo supercharger). This gadget was a turbine’ wheel, rotated by engine exhaust gases up to speeds of 25,000 to 30,000 revolutions per minute. This wheel was attached to a compressor fan that pumped the thin air of altitudes into the carburetor, thus sup-! plying sea level air pressure and making possible the development of sea level horsepower at 30,000 to 40,000 feet. ;

New Metals Developed A SUCCESSFUL turbo supercharger .necessitated the development of new metals which could withstand the heat of exhaust gases—along with a lot of other important information. This research largely was responsible for the pure aircraft power plant which we ' know today as the jet engine. The jet engine: comes into its own efficiency just

Dive any modern sleek fighter within the speed of sound, and we run into what is known as “compressibility.” This means that wings split the air, and, no longer serving as wings, place the plane out of control. The what and why of the answer no one knows yet. But it is my hunch that, far off in some, corner of some research laboratory, someone will ‘pop up with a’ little idea that first will be greeted with derision and later adopted as the long-sought solution.

However, his arguments seemed to me to strengthen the resolution which Philip Noel-Baker had offered for the United Kingdom, and which, as delegate from the United States, I had supported.

A letter is headed, “Exciting Profits, New Fortunes, in Canadian Gold Stocks.” You're assured that “investors in every part of the U. 8. have been making money—big money—out of the phenomenal boom in Canadian mining securities.” A postcard may "sing out: “Yes, every stock we selected showed gains from 50 per cent to 200 per cent ... and we can do it again!

By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M. D. SOME people insist that if we take the proper vitamins our colds

will be a thing of the past. They imply that physicians recommend vitamins as cold preventives. These statements are misleading as vitamins are not of proved benefit as cold preventives. The only known way of preventing colds is to avoid contact with infected persons. ” » ” VITAMIN A deficiency in animals increases susceptibility to infections. But in man, vitamin A 5 less apt to be deficient than any other vitamin, as it is not destroyed by heat, is readily stored in the body, only small amounts are necessary to avoid deficiency states, and usually it is present in excess in the tissues, :

. ” ” VITAMIN D has been suggested as a cold preventive, because children who have rickets, a form of vitamin D" deficiency, are unusually susceptible to respiratory infections. A group of children was given various vitamin D preparations under controlled conditions throughout one winter, and they had just as many colds as children who did not receive it. Vitamins B, C, D. and E have been tried as cold preventives because animals on diets deficient in these vitamins are unduly susceptible to Hleeyions. :

BUT SUCH experimental animals are in a greatly weakened condition, and their increased susceptibility to infection cannot be accepted as evidence that the addition of these vitamins to an adequate diet will prevent infection in man, ~H. 8. Diehl, M. D; and his group}

‘IF A COLD developed, the students reported the attack on a special card and the study was carried on throughout the year. It was found that neither vitamin C nor multiple vitamins had any effect on the number or severity of infections: The Minnesota researchers found that sugar of milk, which does not have any merit as a preventive, was just as effective as vitamins in “preventing” colds.
