The sphere was supported upo-n an axis so that the globe might turn. Then, by means of heat and water, steam was genera ted and as the steam came out of the jets, the globe slowly revolved. The experimenter was Hero, of Alexander, and the date was 150 B. C. The basic principle demonstra ted is the same as that upon which the jet propulsion planes announc ed by the British and American governments in early 1944 utilized. In the aeolpile, as Hero called his device, steam rushing from the jets caused a reaction against the outside air. This is jet propulsion in its simplest form. Many other inventors tried to move various devices with jet propulsion but it remained for the Italians to first succeed in flying with this motive power. In 1940, the Campinio-Caproni aviation in terests succeeded in getting a jet propelled plane into the air and made a flight from Milan to Rome, approximately 200 miles at the dis appointingly slow speed, of 150 miles per' hour. In 1942, the first American model was flown, power ed by an engine invented by R.A.F. Captain Frank Whittle, in 1936. Since then developments have hit a rapid stride and now speeds of 700 miles an hour and over are freely predicted by experts,.

Uptegrove, April 15, and W. H. Melvin, April 16. SPOT LANDING CONTEST Event of interest was the spot landing contest held at the Caro lina Beach field for Solo Students April 14. Pilots vied with each other to see who could land closest to a predetermined mark on the airport without the use of the engine. This affords excellent prac tice in emergency landings should the motor fail the pilot. The win ner was J. L. Craig, who landed 2 1-2 feet from the spot. Runner up was Roy Hobbs while Ensign R. A. Yopp, who only recently soloed, was shamefaced about missing by 250 feet. Similar contests are planned in the future. Waters Jailed Here On Vagrancy Charge H. H.
