School For Skaters Don't try to get up with skates in front or you'll fall again THi E DAILY ALASKA EMPIR NOW LESSEE, I WANTS T' PUT IT IN A APPROPRIATE :3 By IRVING JAFFEE Undefeated Olympic Speed Skating Champion Don't stand with your body erect. That allows you to tilt backward into a bad fall and leaves you open to a possible head injury. Keep the body bent at the hips, shoulders forward and arms ex- tended to afford protection. I H's best to turn around, getting up first to your hands and knees. Then spring upward, pushing against the ice with your hands as you dig in with the skates.

System-Have No Engines Use Fuel Injection | Wilkinson said, but by equipping | Betw;eefi : I}odtb'éll égasom Carburefors DETROIT, Jan. 29.—A descrip- tion of 250-mile-an-hour German bombing planes equipped with Diesel heavy oil, instead of .gasoline en-| gines was given the annual meeting of the Society of Automotive Engin- eers by Paul H. Wilkinson of New | York, consulting engineer. Not only éo the engines use a| fuel injeection system which, ob-| viates the necessity for corbureters, their airplanes with them the Reich makes a marked saving in fuel. He estimated that 100 bimotored German bombers use five tons of fuel less each hour than 100 simi-| lar machines equipped with regula- tion gasoline engines. Heavily in favor of ‘the Diesel en- | gine, he emphasized, was the re-| - — | | duced fire hazard in the air. The Diesels used for bombing planes in Germany, Wilkinson said develop 1,000 horsepower. France is experimenting with aircraft Die- sels of even greater horsepower. A sixteen - cylinder, water-cooled Clerget Diesel recently completed under government supervision is de- |signed to develop “at least” 2,000 horsepower. Noting that the United States ‘War Department had ordered a inumber of engines of American de- {¢ign, known as the Guiberson Diesel, fer use in tanks, Wilkinson's paper | chbserved that the only craft Die- | sel development in the United States | “about which it is permissible to give any details” is that by the| National Advisory committee for aeronautics at Langley Field, Va.
