Conceals Note's Contents. While dec! and contained no intimation that M Coe was contemplating death, and she rised at the news. rom a back ailment and confined to bed, Mrs. Jones said_that Mrs. Coe had often threatened death by drowning, when despondent. The mother traces her daughter’s death to a traffic accident in Takoma Park three or four years ago. Mrs. Coe's sister, Mrs. Dora Hoagland, of whom she was very fond, and the former's husband, were killed with a neighbor when the automobile in which they were riding to work collided with a train, Mrs. Jones said. The Coe and Hoagland families lived together, the mother related, and Mrs. Coe kept house, while the two men and Mrs. Hoagland worked. After this accident Mrs. Coe fell into ill health, Mrs. Jones said. Porter Makes Discovery. Dispatches from Norfolk say that Mrs, Coe was missed when a porter went to her stateroom yesterday morning to get her baggage, as Mrs. Coe had instructed his Saturday night. Her berth had not been occu- pied and a chair in front of the win- dow indicated how she had made her leap into the water. Mrs, Coe left two notes, one address- ed to Capt. F. Posey, the commander of the boat, and one to Mr§. Brown, which she received this morning. An open box of face powder and rumpled towel indicated Mrs. Coe had washed her face and hands and powered her face before leaping to death. None of the passengers aboard the District of Columbia had first-hand information of the tragedy. . COLLEGE DEAN A SUICIDE. University of Kansas Official Kills Self With Gun. LAWRENCE, Kans., October 17 (#).—Dean Perley F. Walker of the School of Engineering and Agriculture at the University of Kansas shot and killed himself in his office early today. The body was discovered by a watch- man. Several letters to friends were found on his desk, including one to Chancel- lor Lindley, which expressed the hope the chancellor “would not think I am too much of a coward.” .|[Flying With Gen. Patrick BY MAJ. GEN. M. M. PATRICK Chiet of the Army Air Corps. Bringing the Plane to Earth. Before the completion of the pilot's repertoire of aerial acrobatics the pas- senger is likely to experience, unless he is a particularly good sailor, sensa- tions closely akin to those of seasick- ness. This being his first flight, he probably will welcome the time when the pilot throttles his eggine and be- gins a gentle glide earthward. The tachometer now registers the minimum number of revolutions per minute, indicating that the power plant is contributing very little, it any, to the forward motion of the plane. Yet, as has been previously observed, it is necessary to maintain a certain forward speed in order to keep the plane under control and pre- vent a stall which eventually will re- sult in a tail spin. By pointing the nose of the plane downward at a suffi- coent angle, the force of gravity pro- vides the power to maintain this necessary speed. The minimum angle at which this result may be obtained is known as the “gliding angle,” and varies ac- cording to the design and weight of the plane. For the average plane the gliding ratio is about seven to one; that is, for each unit of altitude lost in the descent the plane will travel forward seven time that unit. For ex- ample, if the plane is at an altitude of 5,000 feet, the pilot may stop his en- gine completely at a distance of ap- proximately seven miles. from his landing field and maneuver to a safe landing in that field without the aid of his power plant. Removes Much of Danger. This fact removes much of the dan- ger of a forced landing due to possible engine failure. All that is necessary is an open field, sufficiently large and smooth within the gliding limit of the plane. ¥rom the foregoing it is read- ily apparent that the greater the alti- tude at which the plane is flying the greater are the chances of making a . | safe landing in event of engine failure. As the plane descends there is & noticeable change in the temperature of the atmosphere. Meteorologists have ascertained that after the first thousand feet the temperature drops approximately 1 degree Fahrenheit for each thousand feet of ascent, and, naturally, the reverse is true in de- scending. The sensation of descending in a gentle glide is a decidedly pleasant cne, and provides a pleasant relief from the roar of the engine and the blast of air thrown back by the pro- peller when revolving rapidly, as it is required to do in horizontal flight. Many Ways to Lose Altitude. There are many ways of losing alti- tude while maneuvering for a quick landing. One is the tail spin; another is the side slip, in which maneuver | the plane is tilted in such manner as lip sideways toward the earth. mplest, although not the quick- thod, is the “spiral,” jn which the plane winds its way to earth as though descending an invisible spiral case, the last few feet of flizht are over a straight course into the fleldd. As the plane nears the ground the pilot eases his stick back- raising the nose and thereby decreasing the speed. If it is & per- fect landing, the wheels and tallskid will meet the ground gently and at the same time. The. plane then rolls along the ground gently until its mo- mentum s expended: The pilot taxis' it to its hangar, and the flight is over. The take-off, it will be remembered, was made into the wind in order to attain flying speed as’quickly as possi- ble. To effect a landing in the shortest possible distance, this also is made into the wind. The well trained pilot has developed such feel of his plane and judgment of distances that he is able to land his craft with surprising accuracy, (Copyright. 1927.) oA CAPITAL WOMAN h to ill-health | m Mrs. Coe, ad- | |Sharp Distinction Without | Radical Difference Seen } by Ohio Senator. i There Will Be No Outstanding Issue on Any Question, He Declares. BY ROBERT BARRY. | ‘There will be a sharp distinction thout a radical difference in the | prohibition planks of the Democratic and Republican national conventions {of 1928, So predicts Senator Simeon D. Fess, tepublican dry of Ohio. “Neithet of the major par law enforcement,” | explained. “Neither will indulge in any pronouncement |for modification or repeal of the vighteenth amendment nor of the Volstead act. No party could do ! cither of those things and expect to ies will clare against nator Fess “Then where enters the sharp dis- inction?” “Just here,” “I am quite confident that both par- ties will declare for enforcement of the Constitution and the statutes The Republican party will go father | in that respect than the Democratic. | By that 1 mean it is a ertainty the Democrats will have to declare for law enforcement.

That is ¢ it will go beyond some mere Our party has been progressively dry fc many years. Our 1928 declaration w be intended to carry us a step farthe in the cause of national temperance. “How would you think the Republic- ans might express that sentiment?” was asked. “Would there be a speci- fic indorsement of the Volstead act?” “I am inclined to believe there will be specific mention of the eighteenth amendment,” Senator Fess declared. “I believe the party will reaffirm its dedication to the promotion of temper- ance even to the extent of so indors- ing the principles of the eighteenth amendment, mentioning that amend- ment by name, as to remove any pos- sible suggestion that the Republican party advocates its repeal or its modi- fication or its nullification. “Whether there is to be specific mention of enforcing statutes, as, for instance, the Volstead act, I am not prepared to say, but there is no re- mote possibility of any weasel words which might be interpreted as favor- ing a modification of that or any other enforcing statute. The party will in- dicate clearly its purpose to obtain more effective temperance.” “Do you mean amendment of the Volstead act so as to tighten some of its provisions, or a progressive devel- opment of administrative machinery to rend eilsung provisions more effective the reporter wished to know. e Senator Fess responded quickly that the Republican platform would com- mit the party to the latter proposition. Pledge to Tighten Law. “It will be a pledge that the ex- periences of enforcement shall be utilized to the advantage of more effective administration of existing law,” he said, “rather than a&ny com- mitment to legislative action. The representatives of the Republican party in Congress may be relied upon to sponsor or support such measures as the future may disclose necessary :: the efficiént administration of the “‘But if both parties indorse the gen- eral principles of law enforcement un- der the caption of ‘Prohibition,” does not that have the effect of destroying prohibition as a partisan or political issue for 1928 campaign purposes?” “I do not wish to imply for a mo- ment that I regard prohibition as a political issue,” Senator Fess returnecd. "I believe it is settled. But the Repub- lican party, having taken the lead in the temperance movement, is going to continue in the vanguard of progress in that sphere of politics, “In essence, I am confident the plat- forms of both major parties will he for law _enforcement, and I am equally confident that whatever the precise phraseology engaged by the platform i Window Shades the Senator replied. no | Our they’re made.” prices.

Of course we have wet Republicans in wet States, but the party is overwhelmingly This question_does not disturb us. “You do not believe, then, it will be 1 troublesome issue in the conven tion?"” “I am qulte sure it will not be,” he | said. “By that I mean neither in the resolutions committee nor on the floor.

Sees No Real Issue. “There is farm relief. Republicans and Democrats are dlvided more among themselves than they are against each other as parties, The same is true of tax reduction. The parties disagree merely on the extent of reduction. It is the same with na- tional debt retirement. You might get an Issue over repeal of the estate tax. T doubt it. If one party stood for an income tax of 30 per cent on all in- comes and the other was against taxes of any sort on incomes, vou might have an issue. You cannot have cne where one group favors a 6 per cent levy and the other a 5 per cent assess- ment. “In my judgment that Is what 1s at the bottom of the present day indiffer ence of the average citizen to political questions. There is no sharp cleavage. In dry districts both the Republican and Democratic candidates for Con gress are dry; in wet districts both are wet. Where does any partisan issue come of that? “If the people approve our handling of these problems, we stand on our record. What has the opposition to offer? “With Gov. Smith as their condidate the Democrats will have nothing fur- ther to gain in the way of wet votes. Their problem will be to gain some | dry votes. Their platform will declare for law enforcement.
