Such a radical change from the policies of the late Governor-General Leonard Wood could not be expected to take place without grave question by the diplomatic circles of Washington. The British system of colonial government, which is the model of the present plan, allows the natives to elect their own Governor General, and would leave a high commissioner, with instructions to pilot the Philippine ship of state out of international storms, as the only American link with Island administration. The United States would then have what the opponents of the further progress of the plan call "responsibility without authority...
Chairman Caleb H. Baumes of the New York Crime Commission, author of the current model for habitual-offender crime laws,? said: "It is ridiculous to exclude from a jury persons who read the newspapers. A citizen who doesn't read the newspapers is not an intelligent citizen and he probably is not fit to be on a jury." Mr. Baumes urged that judges be empowered to select juries, leaving counsel the chance to show cause why any selection is unsuitable...
...Long Island, a plane flew straight up; dropped straight down undamaged. But it was only a tiny model plane and its flying field was a wind tunnel. So sound seemed its performance, however, that officials of the Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Co., conservatives, reported that a life-size model will be built. The plane will have three, perhaps four, horizontal revolving wings. Its estimated rising speed will be 1,900 ft. per minute; forward speed, achieved by tilting 50 to 70 m.p.h. Dropping with motors dead, the revolving wings drag heavily; elminate landing crashes. Also eliminated are long landing fields. Mail...
...reason why Charles Albert Levine did not immediately return home appeared last week. From France came four men and a model. She was trim, neatly proportioned, tapering. She was a model for a 40-ton, 7-motored "flying wing," the like of which Mr. Levine hopes to put into transatlantic passenger operation next year. With her came two Frenchmen-Alexander Kartvelichvili, Edmond Chagniard, her designers...
...engines, crew of the actual ship will be stored in a 180-foot "single wing," which is three yards thick. Two motors will be held idle for emergencies. The fuselage is long and slim, chiefly a strut to hold the tail. But before the actual ship is built, the model must be well tested in a wind tunnel, i. e.-a a stout tunnel built for aviation model tests. So terrific is the suction of the propeller set at one end to furnish air currents, that a man standing in the tunnel would be swept into the whirling blades, instantly...
