Agitators Busy in Shanghai. { SHANGHAI, March 16 (#).—One hundred and fifty specially picked and trained agitators, who arrived here in batches from Hankow, apparently have completely won the ‘good graces of the local labor unions. They are said to be conducting a campaign of intimidation and murder, with the ob. ject of insuring a solid and prompt response for a general strike when the call is issued, The nearest translation of the Chi. nese description of these agitators is “expert intimidators.” Under their direction, labor unrest in Shanghai is increasing daily. Their chief objection is 80 to work on their fellow coun- trymen's fear of personal injury or in. jury to their families as to create terrorism throughout the ranks of labor and force solidarity when a strike call is issued, For many days there has been an average of one murder daily in Shanghal of a foreman or some other leader among the workers who op- { posed the last strike. None of the assassins has been apprehended. Undeterred by Police.

Maj grave will deal with the construe- | tion of the car and the tests to | which materials used in it were submitted BY MAJ H. 0. D. SEGRAVE. What is this car, this colossal pro jectile of concentrated dvnamic energy like? The answer is that It is like | nothing. What ave the unusual fen- tureg of this crowning achieyement of the greatest designers of the world? The answer is that all features are unusual, with perhaps the exception of the magnetos, the plugs and the steering gear, which is the standard steering gear used in all high-pow- ered Sunbeam cars. “If they ever make anvthing big- | ger than this,” remarked Billy Vcr-| Kins, the most tamous motor mechanic in the world, who is in charge of the team of mechanics in America, “it | will have to be a flying traction-en gine.” He is right. Like the rest of | us, he considers it the last word, and | cannot conceive anything more pow- | erful which could be devised and could | still be called a car. Plain figures do not convey a true impression of this car. Car Is Idea of Coatalen. The car was first thought of one year ago, in March, 1926. The master mind behind its design is Louis Coata- len, whose name is, of course, a household word among motorists and airmen the world over. I doubt if he has set pencil to paper for many years himself, but his is the genlus that inspired a corps of expert draughtsmen who, from March to No- vember, were engaged in the stagger- ing task of making the 7,200 separate drawings which were necessary. Mr. Coatalen enlisted the services of the finest brains of three countries, engineers, mechanics, metallurgists, mathematiclans and professors of aerostatics. The evolution of special termine Se. The mastodonic size of th this picture of British work set a speed record of 200 miles a tested strength equal to that employ tempt to is is of t radical engineering principles have been ut size and arrangement of the motors. steelalloys, f which 10 different | Kinds are used in the construction of the car, and the amazing research on | models in the wind-tunnels were only | a small part of the work to be done. At first we did not expect to finish the car before the Fall of 19 Then one night, four months ago, 1 was present at a dinner party in a Lon don club and there were present cer ain people from whom we discovered ) that there would be no place in Eng- | land where a s od of 200 miles and over conld he obtained, and as a re sult of this it was decided before the end of the dinner that the car should where, we under- . conditions were more favorable. Since that moment three shifts of mechanics have been continuously engaged every hour of the day and night in rushing the car to completion. Since then it has never been left a moment, and is now practically com- plete, Car Built in 10 Weeks. In 10 weeks from the ordering of the castings the car was ready to run on d. car cost about $100,000, develops 1,000 hor: 200 r.p.m., from two_12.cylinder engines, on in front of the driving seat aifd, the other be- hind, and vertically oter the rear axle, The two engines transmit their power at a common gear box placed in the center of the car which in turn transmits through three speeds to the rear wheels. The car is started by compressed air into the forward en- gine, which has a special tubing gear in its design to make it possible. As oon as this is started the driver starts the rear engine from it by means of a slipping clutch from the first. When both engines are running independ- ently they are synchronised hy the driver on the revolution counters, and connected by a second dog-clutch, Both are then ning on one unit, con- nected by the primary shaft of the The third clutch is then de- pressed which permits the driver to engage the first speed. The two slip ping clutches are of the multiple dise type. The power which the main clutch has to transmit is so huge that in order to keep it within reasonable di mensions of size and weight the trans- mission has had to be geared up to keep the clutch running at two and a f times the speed of the engine. It then geared down again Three Radiators Are Used. Three radiators are fitted inside the body, one in froni. and two in the tail. Cooling air is fed to them by scoops leading to aluminum corridors, and is discharged through the extremity of the tail. The length of the monster is 29 feet 6 ifiches. If it had been possible to make it a hundredth of am inch shorter, we should have done so, for the wheel base is only 11 feet 4 inches. Imagine the risk of this great over- hang when 1 tell you that if a tire punctures there will only be a theo- retical inch and a quarter clearance between the bottom of the car and the ground. In fact the bottom has been re-inforced to make it possible for the car to slide along the ground instead af turning over if this should happen. The width is six feet at the widest part, the height four feet and the welght is over three and a half tons The shape and size is unlike that of any speed car ever made before, and, as [ have mentioned, is something like that of a flattened whale on wheels. The driving seat is only 15 inches from the ground. 1 shall be almost completely hid- den inside the body of the car, though my eyes will be level with a tiny windscreen half the size of a maga- zine.

CHARGES LITTLE Despite previous warnings of the ex: | istence of a potential fire hazard on! the stage of the Central High School Auditorium, “very little” has been done to correct this condition, Fire Marshal Leonard V. Seib and the mu- nicipal architect’s office point out in a joint report based on an annual in- spection of all public school buildings within the District. The report, transmitted to the Board of Education yesterday by the Com- missioners, again contained an admo- nition that should a fire occur on the Central stage or among the hangings and shifting scenery or stage settings, “in all probability it would prove to be disastrous to the people assembled in the hall, to the hall itself and probably to other parts of the building.” ims Little Done. “Since previous inspection very little has been done at this school,” declared the report. “As previously reported, the assembly hall contains a stage with a large quantity of movable scenery. The stage is larger than any stage in the various theaters; in fact, it I8 the largest stage in the city. We are informed that, in addition to being used by this school, It is used quite frequently by community centers and various organizations. This hall is not equipped with the proper safeguards for the people who assemble there. In fact, it is not equipped in accord- ance with District fire ordinances. Numerous recommendations are made for improving conditions in Cen- tral and various other public school bufldings which the municipal archi- tect’s office and the fire marshal be- lieve constitute fire hazards. The re- port, however, observed that condi- tions in 73 of the public schools and in all buildings rented for school pur- poses are satisfactory. Room for Improvement. The Commissioners, in a letter trans- mitting the report to Charles F. Ca- rusi, president of the school board, presented & summary of the observa: tions of Mr. Seib and the inspectors in the office of the municipal architect, which explained that while conditions were found to be much improved since the previous inspection, there yet r mains “room for further improve. ment.” A suggestion was made that the school board study the report care- fully with a view to eliminating a defects that can be remedied without , expenditure of funds and that the most urgent of the other items, where expenditure of funds is required, be included in the semi-annual lists for repairs or be included in the estimates for the next fiscal vear. Fou en recommendations were made for correcting conditions at Cen- tral High School. Chief among them were the following: Installation of a fire curtain the full width of the stag installation of 2-inch perforated wat pipes over the proscenium arch, so that when the water is turned on from each side of the stage it will form a water curtain confronting the stag installation of a 2%-inch standpipe on each side of the stage; installation of an automatic water-sprinkling sy: tem over the stage, dressing room: storage rooms and workshop; installa: tion of fire alarm boxes; the erection of a gridiron over the stage, so that stage mechanism from above can read- jly be operated without danger of fall- ing to the stage floor; the placing of fireproof tops on all wooden tables in the chemical laboratories on which gas burners, stoves or torches are used; an extra exit at the rear end of the armory and additional accommo- dations for the printing class, which at present is so crowded that a fire TO CORRECT SCHOOL FIRETRAP Report Holds Dangerous Condition of Cen- tral High Stage Neglef:tecl.

EFFORT MADE for amateur theatricals, but declared that before it is used for such pur- poses the following will be required: A fireproof curtain for. the stage; the closing of openings’ into the pro- scenium wall on each side of the stage, where all mechanism is located; the installation of two 3-Inch standpipes on éach side of the wall and a perfo- rated water pipe over the proscenium arch, so as to form a water curtain; the closing, “in a substantial manner,” with brick or terra cotta, of the space in the proscenium wall from the top of the arch to the roof, now covered with composition board; the installa- tion of an automatic water-sprinkler system on the stage and in the dress- ing room, and provisions similar to the stage in the addition to the Armstrong Technical High School, and provision for a carbon pettachloride extin- guisher alongside the electric switch- board in the physics laboratory. Other Recommendations. The report recommended that small windows on either side of the exit doors of the assembly hall of Eastern High School should ,be made wider and cut down to the floor level to pro- vide an exit to each side of the stalr- way for persons leaving via first floor. This arrangement, it said, would re- lieve congestion at the main exit. Among the many other remommen- dations, most of them minor in char acter, was one calling for the replace- ment of the old Congress Heights School with a modern brick building or the erection of a brick addition to the main school building, which is a two-room frame structure.

In reply to the French fear that work of the preparatory commission might be jeopardized and authorif of the League undermined, the note continues: “The Government of the United States desires to emph: the fact that it proposed the initiation of the Geneva negotiations by representa- tives of certain powers at the forth- coming meeting of the preparatory commission and is therefore of the opinion that, far from undermining the authority of the League of Na- tions, such conversations as those pro- posed would be of great service to that body In an advance toward a solu- tion of a difficult problem. The two notes stated that in view of British and Japanese acceptance, the Washington Government has de- cided to enter into three-power con- versations in which it hopes for Italian and French representation in order that those two governments “may be fully cognizant of the course of negotiations and of the agreements which may be entered into.” Sixteen days left to file your per- sonal tax return.
