the projecting rod shown: it is just emerging, cannot be seen for the smoke.

Harold E. Edgerton of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For the pictures an ordinary camera \y<ui

Only three air travelers in a
thousand now suffer any air sick
ness or discomfort was found by
Col. A D Tuttle, medical director
of United Air lines, who made a
study of 201,370 passengers car
ried on United planes. The study
showed that only one-half of one
percent suffered discomfort of
any kind, including nervousness,
a rate not only much lower than
that applying to sea sickness, but
one comparing favorably with
surface transportation.
PRIVATELY STAGED
FAIR NOT LIKELY
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1—It
was reported that directors of
the the San Francisco Fair
would veto Billy Rose’s offer

present executives would ap
prove of Treasure Island being

ments to continue the fair in

WHAT HAPPENS TO OLD.
AIRPLANE ENGINES
Five old “firehorses" were re
tired to pasture, so to speak,
when Pan American shipped five
Wasp motors from Miami to San
Diego to be used in the engine
shops of the Ryan School of Aero
nautics. No longer will the
Wasps whirl Pan America’s
props over South America, over
the Andes, and across the Carib
bean. They will take it relatively
easy in the school shops where
they’ll be regularly torn apart
and rebuilt by Ryan students.
Occasionally they’ll be trotted
out to the engine test stand
where the instructors will see if
the students can still pull the full
horsepower out of the PA A veter
ans which have seen 2,000 hours
service pulling clippers of the
air.
