H. 1 Norton, an engineer of the Lnngley s Memorial laboratory at Langley held, r "Virginia, It was announced by the ua- \ tlonal advisory committee for aerouau- c tics. j. The first exper'ments w^re undertaken by the laboratory for the uavy 1 department lu order to detemlne the J distribution of pressure over the horizontal tall surfaces of an airplane and to analyze the relation of this pres- 1 .sure to structural loads und longitudinal stability and were conducted on full-sized planes in the air and on models in the wind tunnels. Old Method Described. > The old method consisted In using 4 a horizontal tall surface inside of .whicn rubber tubes, connected with a series of holes on the surface, led to a multiple liquid manometer. The , several tubes of the munoraeter registered the pressure at each change . of speed or air pressure und the results . 'weie recorded by an automutlc camera which photographed the height of the liquid In the tubes every few sec? lOnds. . To study various pressures In accelerated flights or "stunting," It was ' impossible to use the old liquid man- j ometer and consequently the new man- 1 ometer was developed, substituting the j ( deflection of metal diaphragms and u 1 means of automatically recording their I fnr thp Mould manometer ' and the camera respectively. j i Tells of Results Achieved. !

The explanation given of his wholesale buying of newspapers Is that Stinnes Intends to realize the dreams of Profesor Nuumunn. who visioned u consolidated Central Europe, Including Poland and Belgium. wh'ch should be created by military means. But Stinnes, It Is said, | aims to reuch the surne goal through economic domination. His purpose Is to secure first economic resources and then press organs in the various countries bordering on Germany, in order that he may spread German political Influence. As far as Industrial possessions are concerned, It Is asserted that he Is well along his way. He left the Hamburg-American line, where he was one of the directors, and took a directorship In the Norddeutscher 1 Lloyd, of which he is the principal 1 stockholder. He owns the majority 1 of the Air Rcute lines in Germany and \ Scandinavia, and he Is now engaged 1 in est?olishing others In Austria. 1 Danube navigation in Germany and ' Austria, as well as In Hungary and Roumunia, is In his hands. He Is interested financially In the Austrian ' Daimler factory and the famous Skoda ' works, and he owns the Glbemuhl 1 paper mills. Finally, with these mills.
