Heavy protein and acid content in leather, he stated, made it subject ! to great shrinkage and expansion under varying humldities. Applied, chemistry has resulted in reduc- ing the protein and eliminating the acid completely, thus bringins about pliable but constant leather, with the result that foot imper- fections are disappearing rad- ually. 10-MILE CHASE GETS TWO ON RUM CHARGE () CONCERT.

An airplane, whose maximum speed will be about 280 yniles an hour, is be ing designed at McCook Field, Day- ton, Ohio, by Fred Verville, noted aeronautic expert, according to word received here today from Dayton. The plane will be flown by an Army Air Service pilot in the Pulitzer trophy races at Wilbur Wright Field, | near Dayton, in September, and Arm officials expect to beat the Curtiss “blue streak” racers as badly as its own racing planes were beaten by the Navy, at St. Louis last October. At that time, Lieut. A. J. Williams of the Naval Air Station here, flew a closed tourse of 125 miles at the rate of miles an hour, while Army planes did not quite make 220 miles an_hour. Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, of the Army Alr Service, has signated Mr. Verville to_produce the new ship. Details of Mr. Verville's plans have not been disclosed, but it is hinted that departures may be made from the Curtiss biplane typs and the Verviile-Sperry thick-winged monoplane with a retractible landing gear. An important problem being worked on in connection with the racer, which aeronautical engineers say may unfold a new field for high- chief de- powered racing motors, is that of de- | veloping a motor with _cylinders pointing_downward as well as @p- ward. England has a power plant along these lines which generates 1,000 horsepower.

ALLOWED The Mixed Claims Commission, in jan opinion announced last night, laid down rules for the guidance of the i American and German agents and thgir counsel in determining the lia- bil of Germany for “damages in the nature of interest” in certain classes of claims and the “measure of damages in all claims for property taken” from Americans. The opinion, prepared by Edwin B. Parker, the commission's umpire, was concurred in by Chandler P. Ander- son, the American commissioner, and ‘Wilhelm Kiesselbach, the German commissioner, agreed to it as to all except two points. Under the decision the commission will determine the value of the prop- erty seized or the amdunt of damage in cases arising out of personal in- jury or death. No clalms will be awarded, the opinion read, in cases where “there is no basis for award- ing damages in the nature of inter- est where the loss {s neither liquidat- ed nor the amount thereof capable of being ascertained by computation merely,” but in event the amount of {loss is fixed by the commission the award will bear interest from its date. In this class were placed claims for losses based on personal injuries, death, maltreatment of prisoners of war, or acts injurious to health, ca- pacity to work or honor. “But where the loss is either liqui- dated or the amount thereof capabls of being ascertained with approxi- mate accuracy * ¢ ¢ such amount, plus damages in the nature of inter- est from the date of the loss, will or- dinarily fill & fair measure of com- pensation,” the opinion read. Claims for property taken, damaged or de- stroyed were placed in this category.

Both boys talked freely of | the rides they had taken with girl friend, explaining that it was the caslest thing Imaginable to start the cars of owners who had not securely locked - them. i Most of the cars they are alleged ! to have ‘“borrowed” were abandoned near the District building or court- | house in order that the police would cxperience little difficulty finding them. They displayed but little ev dence of selfishness in their dealings, keeping the cars only long enough for a drive about the city. i Car Planted by Police. Discussing their joyriding experi- ences, the boys explained how quickly they got cars after girls Had accepted invitations to take rides, and on at least one occasion they switched cars | because the first one was not satis- factory. Many of the cars were taken from the vicinity of theaters, used two or three hours and abandoned. Last night Detectives Alligood and Davis were on guard near a “planted” car, their long vigil being rewarded by the appearance of Jones, who was ar- rested about the time he was starting | on_his last alleged joyride. Questioning of 'Jones brought in- formation which Jed to the arrest of his companion, and the boys were ! questioned at length by the detectives at police headquarters. Owners of the cars in which the boys are said to have admitted riding were listed as complainants in the fifteen charges against each defendant. The owners are Frank B. Chase, Wil- flam E. Yost, Irving M. Fuller, Ernest A. Judd, Louis B, Noble, Abe Living- ston, C. Emory Hall, Wililam H. Quin- | ter, Mrs. H. S. Nyman, Guy S. White- ford, Harry Whalen, Clarence C. Gray, Mrs. A. W. Healey, Allison Miller and Clyde H. Harper. Jones was arrested when he was preparing to go to the home of a girl | friend, intending to get Turner and a | girl friend and go to the movies. Tur- ner wag seated with his girl friend in front of the latter's home, waiting for Jones, when he was arrested. Fach boy had a bunch of automobile keys in his_posgession, ard a set of tags taken from one of the cars was found in_Turner's home. Switching of license tags, the detec- tives stated, made it difficult for them to locate some of the abandoned cars. The boys will be arraigned {n Juvenile Court, and the case may be heard the coming week. NAMED WEST POINT CADET. Robert L. Love, son of the late Lieut. Col. Robert R.
