SPEEDING UP OF AIRCRAFT WORK IS UNDER WAY Three New Airplane Designs to Fit Liberty Motor Have Been Produced in U. S. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Three
new designs for airplanes to fit the
liberty motor have been produced in
America, John D. Ryan,- newly ap
pointed Director for Aeronautics, said
m A I 11.. A I ,
be put into production. Production of the de Haviland Four, the only flghtr lng machine so far shipped to the American army from the United
States, Is Increasing, improvements having been incorporated following experience in its manufacture and use.
All contracts for liberty motors have been increased, Mr. Ryan said, and other type3. Including 180 horse power
and 300 horse power Hispano-Suiza
motors, are being made in the United States. The liberty eight-cylinder deToloped last fall and abandoned, has been brought back into production to
balance the airplane program. He gave the total of engines now under manufacture at 60,000 Every One Helps. "The engines are the only limiting factor in the building of airplanes, and every one of our allies is seeking liberty motors," said Mr. Ryan. "We are also using the effort of every American plane designer of known capabilities, Glen Curtlss, Glen Martin .and several others, while Orvllle Wright, as an officer of the Dayton-Wright company, also is serving the aeronautic development section. "Last week we brought to the United States an Italian family, Pomelleu brothers, who have been designers of aircraft for the Italian' Government, and installed them at Indianapolis with 0 of their people. "We have Captain Lepere, a French designer, ono of whose machines, fitted with a liberty 12, has been flying for 30 days. All of these productions have to bo tested out in every fashion we can, under conditions as close to war as we can attain, before coming to production." Progress Is Slow. Mr. Ryan conceded that he did not think American production of aircraft yet matched the increasing size of the army and refused to predit anything for its future. "You'll find I'm no prophet if you come here often enough," he told the newspaper men. "We have accomplished everything that we reasonably expected to accomplish last May. There has been no failure in that sense." zMr. W. C. Poter, who has been Mr. Ryan's assistant as head of the Division of Aircraft Production, will continue In that capacity, but it' has not been determined yet who will take charge of the production division.

On July 16, while stationed In the Somme, he was ordered to report to the Champagne. He !eft for Paris that day at 10 o'clock.

The following ia his own account of his aerial tactics: "Tactics? I have none. I attack watching my adversary's manoeuvre. In the last combats in which I have participated, I have succeeded In forcing my manoeuvering upon them. In my fight on July 16, I attacked. two German machines, which were protected by a patrol of six others. I fixed my geze upon ray two victims but never did I lose sight of the patrol. When the patrol rushed at me, I was able to break away by manoeuvre. "You ask me at what distance l. shoot. Generally from 150 metres, aflfcording to my relative position, I believe it could be raid. If I attack frontally, I 6tart to choot at 150 metres, that being the most suitable, allowing for the speed of the machine. If I attack in the rear or laterally, I get somewhat closer."
On The Screen
WASHINGTON "M'liss," Mary Pickford's latest Artcraft picture, based upon the Immortal story by Bret Harte, is the fifth photoplay featuring "America's Sweetheart" which was directed by Marshall Nellan. "M'liss" will be a notable production in every other respect, including a cast of high excellence such as is seldom seen In western pictures. Among the support are Theodore Roberts. Tully Marshall, Thomas Meighan and Chas. Ogle. To all who love the great out-of-doors and the quaint characters of the Golden West, made notable by Mary Pickford in other screen successes, "M'liss" will prove a supreme delight. It will be shown at the Washington today for the last time. Captivating Mabel Normand comes to the Washington theatre beginning Friday and Saturday, in her newest and most original Goldwyn production "The . Venus Model." Fitted with a role which suits her as perfectly as the dashing . bathing costume she wears as "The Venus Model," Miss Normand' may be depended on to give an excellent account of herself as Kitty O'Brien, who bound love with a silk thread as a worker In the factory of Braddock and
company, makers of bathing suits so old-fashioned that they wouldn't sell. So Kitty works out a swimming garment which her acute sense of what women want tells her will be a great success. And it is. The costume is called "The Venus Model," and Kitty herself is viewed by the buyers in the chic costume. Business booms and Kitty is promoted to the desk of chief designer. MURRAY When Julian Eltinge, the famous feminine impersonator, arrived at the Lasky studios some time ago for the preparation of his Paramount photoplays, a howl of derision was raised at the amount of baggage with which the athletic looking man was encumbered. There were at least twenty trunks and as many huge hat boxes. A valet fussed around with checks and small jewel cases In hand. By this time, however, the sight of the big fellow, who is also an all-around "good fellow," in stunning trailing frocks and curly wig, puffing at a very big cigar, has become familiar, for Mr. Eltinge Is now at work on Ms second Paramount picture, "The Clever Mrs. Carfax," which will be shown at the Murray theatre today for the last time.
