V -4 ? PPNnr... FORGET THE WATCH YOUR LABEL Record subscribers -should renew at least five days before their ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER By the Assocated Proas. Chicago, July 1. Thousands of rail way shopmen dropped their tools to day to join the nation-wide strike call ed Thursday. Early reports indicated that shop mechanics and their helpers !firom the New England to the western trans continental lines were generally join ing the walkout, with about 50,000 re ported to headquarters at an early .hour. While there was no way. of com piling accurate figures which might be all inclusive, dispatches from points scattered from Boston to Kansas City . showed that the strike had taken ef fect on some. Shopmen in the western states were , expected to join the secessionist move ment, as the zero hour, 10 o'clock ar rived in their territory. The strike call , sanctioned black smiths, boiler-makers, electrical work- crs, and machinists to stop work, at 10 a. m., was issued Thursday night, resulted in 98 per, cent joining the strike, according to union officials. By The Associated Press. Atlanta, Ga., July 1. Upwards oE 30,000 shop craft employes in the southeastern territory answered the strike call of the presidents of their six international unions, according to figures up to noon. All reports stat ed the walkout was carried out in an orderly manner. So far as could be learned here no maintenance of way employes in the southeastern territory had joined the strike, but in some places strike fore men and others exempted under the strike orders were reported to have walked out. Railroad officials were watching the , situation closely. No figures from .this., course as to the scope of the Strike were available from thc; railroads. : . ; T. POPE GOOD CITIZEN DEAD Mr:.

The helicop tor ,or vertical-rising air machine, i not an impossibility, and should real use for such a type arise sue cessful ones may be seen befori many years, according to Dr. Alber F. Zahm, aeronautical expert for th Navy. Had there been a need fo the helicoptor during the war, h( said, any of several types could, havi been perfected, ; of which working models have been flown. Dr. Zahm is an expert on desigi nnrl rnnafrnrlinn of nil manner O'l , flying machines. For years he has applied his time to perfection of th' airplane, and is well qualified to pass upon the capabilities of any. Much interest has been shown of late in reports of successful machin es of the helicopter type being per fected, in both Germany and Eng land, Howeve.-, while some flights have been made, none of any con sequence are reported by a machine equipped with horizontal propellors or revolving planes, designed to rise vertically from a confined space and descend on the same. That the helicopter is possible, Dr. Zahm said, is proved by the Ger man machine, which, rising several times to moderate heights, has. ear rkd " - observers j-' ' remained -ulraost stationary while in air, and descend ed in safety. The machine, however, has made no extended tlight, such a3 would prove its dependability, but was tethered to the ground by a mooring rope. 'At times, when the motors failed, the machine dropped and the passengers saved them selves only by leaping with parach utes. The experiments are continuing however, with the purpose of perfect ing a motor which can be depended upon to maintain the machine with out sudden failure, the scientists ex plained, for, as soon as the engine stops, the machine cannot glide to the ground as does an airplane, but drops vertically. In a proper descent the propellors should be . whirled slowly to ease the landing. Present hopes of attaining suc cessful vertical flig'ht rest mainly upon the endeavors of Emil Berliner,- Washington inventor whose ex norimpnts with the helicopter have extended over j a1 Jorlg time; and of Louis; Brennari, 'ot ? London, whose newest maciuue if it" tng completion . rie is yvuiniug ? win', the fifiy .thodsahd pound prize offered by the-' British Air Ministry for successful flight. ' .' The helicoptor upon which most experimentation has been made, con sist mainly of two or more propollor screws mounted horizontally on a vertical" shaft, bearing engines, fuel and passengers. Equal numbers of propellor blades must revolve in op posite directions that the body of the machine may not spin like a top. The motors, tanks and body have been mounted in various positions, but the Gerrnan machine has a sort of pulpit car mounted at the top of the shaft over the propellors for the operators. m Whether or - not this type of machine is brought to actual use, n- 7nhtTi stated, at least two other types of planes that may fly verti offered to the gov- heen offered to the gov It.- - nis lv;i,- io . " known nno'nf these, of which Dr. Zahm observed experiments with a work ing model, was almost wenucai win. the nresent type of plane, 'except that, mounted behind the body were two sets of air vanes, in groups tilted at an adjustable angle, imc those of Venetian blinds.' j When the power was turned on, ne said, the "wash" of theair stream from the propellors pushed ' against these groups of vanes, . caused the model to rise, gently Vertically The model was held m mid-air by the ' ,h.n the Dower dimin- ished it returned gently to earth. A full size macnine 01 m v, - saW would be equipped with engines of immense power, in order to fur - mf f irient air pressure, and inf immense power, i h .utficient SH wher SVj4-. horizontal moUon would result. The Sffne could then fly in the usual nlane could j XHcZi J. 1 V 111 viiv - finally usiiig the vanes ag- manner, NOW ONLY MM BIG FOURTH ;-OF-jeiW: ain to descend vertically. - ' The other type oiirered to the irmy, he said, was of the present wing plan, equipped with three pro pellers, two placed far out toward ne wmg enas, ana wun veri cai ru - aers ana ailerons similar to tnosei in use. The quicker lifting power was to be gained by having the wash of the central propellor act upon elevators on the tail of the body, while the side propellors would wash against the special ailerons on the wing tips. When in the air, Dr. -Zahm con tinued, this machine could maneuver exactly as does the ordinary plane, cut figures arid do "stunts," besides being able to rest motionless in any desired position vertical with nose up, if need be. The best feature, he said, is that both planes of the new types are en tirely feasible and san be construct ed at any time. In fact, several European inventors and manufactur ers are patenting designs of the second type, notably the Frenchman Bleriot, one of the pioneers of avia tion. Experts for the government stUri er the second type during" the war, it was explained, but the matter went no furthed. The general drawbacks of their construction, Dr. Zahm said were, first, the great cost; second, the in creased wejghiu-qf the machines ' as compared with present engine effic iency; and third, the need of develop ing motors with greater , power and less weight per horsepower and with a great amount of dependability. As it is, said, a successful helicop ter may be flown to any height, but the operators will . never know when the engine will give a cough and die away. The German experimenters how- ever, he added, have in part over- mis- uisauvainoge. - xi, iias baen determined by experiments that a propellor of three or four narrow , blades, caused to revolve by the air; cressure resulting from a forced de-j scent with a dead engine, will de- velop as much parachute resistance, ua a suhu uisc 01 me ammeter 01 we blade spread. In addition, the Ger- . t : i . i -.1 i man macmne is equppea with air cushions on the landing bottom so that the Janding, if; forced, may be made comparatively easy. Means of steering experimental helicopters, and of : which one would undoubtedly r be " used in a successful machine, are two. The ftivX is xa means of tilting the propellors shaft or the whole machine, when it will travel in that ' direction: " the second being the. use . of vanes simii lar to those already ' described. With the jatter, Dr. Zahm thinks, a helicopter ' sufficiently " tJowered, should be as able; to cut capers in the air as aviators ' do at present. Any of the types advanced, would, in warfare, be of graet use in bomb droning or i for observati6ii.".: The ,ma:n HinHvTit.5i ; iht : nf hointr a "-.figood target ior artillery lire wnue stationary, should be " offset by quickness 6f movement" " from ' point to point, and short ' stops while hov ering. Still Dr. Zahm points out; in 'sum ming up, the fact' that the war De partment was offered such" hiachines at a time when all resources where being expended; in better . or more efficient implements 'of , warfare,and rejected them, - although "'they are compeletely feasible, is sufficient in dication of their war value. As "to their being put to commercial or social uses, the immense expense pre cludes the possibility.
