Than Satisfactory, Before Wor to revolutionize transatlantic travel, is inventor claims would be a storm with seadrome. Performance of the model seadrome in the heavy weather it has ridden out since it was launched Tuesday has been more than satisfactory, its inventor claims, although there are a few minor changes he would make in the plans before letting work proceed on the full- sized midsea landing field for air- planes, Ready for Enlarging. “The best thing we have learned from the newest model seadrome is that it performs just as we figured it would from the small models which we tested out in my small tank at my home in Wilmington, Del.,” the inventor de- clared. “That shows that our ideas are correct and that we can now go ahead :I;d enlarge the seadrome to the full The scale model seadrome, one- thirty-second of the full size, is moored in about 15 feet of water about a fourth of a mile off Oakley Beach, near Cam- bridge, Md., with a small observatory barge anchored nearby, in which Arm- strong and his two assistants, Robert Vail and Capt. Theodore Markham, are taking constant observations of the model’s behavior. The wind since the launching of the | model has ranged from 20 to 30 miles an hour and the waves from 12 to 16 inches. The waves, Armstrong explains, would increase in direct ratio with the increase in the size of the seadrome, while the wind velocity would run up about 5.6 times if the full sized sea- drome was subjected to conditions proportionate to those which the model is riding out now on the Choptank. Roll Is Barely Perceptible. Only a barely perceptible rolling mo- tion stirred the model seadrome at the height of yesterday's wind, about 30 miles an hour. The broad deck of the device would rise slowly occasion- ally with a puff of wind catching it away from the prevailing quarter and lifting the deck from the unprotected underside. The motion is gradual and would not exceed 2 or 3 degrees at any time, Armstrong declared. The “seadrome” is nothing more than a flat surface set upon about a score of long legs, about midway of each of which is an air tank fcr buoyancy, and at the bottom of which is a| ballast tank for balance and stability. On one side of the landing surface of the seadrome is provision for a 40- room hotel, and on the other, hangars, THE EVENING STAR, "WASHINGTON, 'D. C., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1929. “SEADROME" MODEL IS READY FOR ENLARGING, INVENTOR SAYS Armstrong, Declaring Performance More Plans Few Changes k Proceeds. In a veritable “tempest in a teapot,” on the Choptank River, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Edward R. Armstrong’s model “seadrome,” which he expects riding bravely and steadily in what its winds raging from 100 to 150 miles an hour and waves running from 30 to 40 feet high for its big brother, the full-sized Bids are in and only 2 few last-minute computations need be made before construction of the first full-sized seadrome is started at the Sun Shipbuilding Co. plant on the Delaware River, Armstrong declared yesterday. repair shops and 21l the necessary ad- juncis @r serviceir and operating planes. The seadr. would be self- contained, generating its own power with its own water and heating system and with all other necessities for mod- ern ship-board life. It would be maintained in the true position for landing airplanes—headed into the wind, by a rudder and stabil- izer-like device under the rear deck and by the streamlining of the struts con- necting the buoyancy and ballast tanks with the landing surface. 1,200 Feet Landing Surface. ‘The full sized “seadrome” would be 1200 feet long, 200 feet wide at each end and 400 feet wide at the center porticn, on either side of which would be buildings. The 1200 feet landing surface for planes is ample without any arresting device, Armstrong believes, because of the flat surface of the ocean which permits illimitable low flight approach. The first of these large “seadromes” would be placed in service between New York and Bermuda, off the Virginia Capes, and would break the New York- Bermuda flight into two 325-mile heps. ocean flight hop. His plans for trans- atlantic service with the use of “sea- dromes” call for seven of them at equal intervals across the Atlantic between New York and Europe. The entire cost of this “bridging” the Atlantic with “seadromes” and planes would be between $12,000,000 and $13,- 000,000, or about half the cost of a mod- ern ocean liner, Armstrong estimates. Plan Chesapeake Tests. As soon as all the data available with the model seadrome in its present anchorage are obtained by Armstrong and his assistants, they plan waves more nearly like those encoun- tered in the Atlantic will be met and where Armstrong expects to make his final computations for the “margin-of- safety” factor for the regular sized “sea- drome.” To allow the regular sized “seadrome” to be towed to sea, Armstrong has de- vised means whereby the lower, ballast tanks, can be telescoped with the upper, buoyancy tanks, to lessen the ‘“sea- drome’s” draft and facilitate towing. At sea the tanks will be let down to the full 170 feet of underwater structure on which the-“seadrome” will float. HOOVER PROTESTS MEMORIAL PHRASE Emphatically Disapproves In- | scription Proposed for Uni- versity of Louvain. By the Assoclated Press. President Hoover is emphatically op- | posed to placing the inscription, “De- | stroyed by German Fury, Restored by American Generosity” upon the new library of the University of Louvain, Bel- gium, built by American subscriptions cbtained largely through the efforts of the Chief Executive., Since Whitney Warren, the architect of the building, proposed and insisted upon this inscription more than three years ago, it has been the center of a controversy that has even caused riot- ing in the little Belgian town and has :xv.ended on several occasions to Amer- ca. President Hoover Quoted. “I and those associated with me, in the American gift of a library to the University of Louvain,” the President said late .yesterday in answer to the inquiry of a newspaper correspondent, “wish to emphatically disclaim any ap- proval of the action of Mr. Whitney Warren in insisting upon an offensive inscription upon the building.” The library, he continued, was erect- ed at a cost of approximately 32,000,- 000 francs, all of which was provided by American citizens, with more than 70 per cent coming through a commit- tee of which he was chairman and the remainder through a second commit- tee headed by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University. Prior Action Recalled. The Chief Executive also called to | mind three years ago the authorities of the university, with his approval, re- fused to permit the inscription and said that to the best of his recollec- tion, Dr. Butler also opposed it. Although protesting against the in- scription, Mr. Hoover said that Warren had produced a “most notable building of great credit to himself and the nation.” After the Luvain rioting, in the course of which the police refused to allow the erection of that portion of the building that was to bear the inscription, War- ren took the case before the author- lxflu and recently they decided in his | avor.

NATIVES 10 JOIN IN CIVIG AFFAIRS Decision Embodied in Resolu- tion Asking Readmission to Federation. Determination to take a greater in- terest in civic affairs in the District was expressed in a resolution adopted after a lengthy debate to ask for re- admission in the Federation of Citizes Associations by the District of Colum- bia Society of Natives, meeting in the Washington Club last night. The resolution was introduced by Miss Etta L. Taggart, who declared the society has nol been living up to a clause in its constitution “to promote welfare in the District of Columbia" since its withdrawal from the federation some four or five years ago. Opponents of the resolution expressed the view the society is not the type to participate in civic affairs as it would do with membership in the fed- eration. Miss Taggart spoke briefly on the subject of the election of the members of the board of education by the people of the District instead of them being appointed by the justices of the Su- preme Court. While praising the Su- preme Court justices, Miss Taggart de- clared the parents of children “should have more to say” about who shall serve on the board. When the society, withdrew from the federation, it was stated, the general view was expressed By members that it should not participate in civic affairs :‘uch as many engaged in by the federa- on. A If its motion for readmission to the federation is favorably acted upon, the society will elect delegates at its regu- lar meeting for the election of officers next month, it was stated. A program of instrumental and vocal music was rendered at last night's meeting, following the business ses- sion. Lee D. Latimer, president of the soclety, presided. RELATIVES P'ROTEST MRS.

Contest finals they will deliver their respective 10-minute speeches under the strict timing of two officers of the American Army and Navy. The officers who have accepted the contest directors’ invitation to act as i official timekeepers in the meet are Maj. Gen. Harry L. Gilchrist, chief of Chemical Warfare Service, U. 8. A, and Rear Admiral Luke McNamee, director, glvissm; fieet training, naval operations, Maj. Gen. Gilchrist and Rear Ad- miral McNamee will be seated in front of the stage during the contest. With the first word of the speech proper of each contestant’s bid for the world championship, they will begin counting off the minutes. When 10 minutes will have elapsed, the officers will sound a blast on a whistle and if a contestant still is speaking he will be obliged to halt in- stantly and be judged by what he has said up to the expiration of his time. If he continues to speak even after the | whistle has sounded, he will be dropped automatically to last place in the offi- cial rating. Restriction on Applause. Because the time limit is to be so strictly enforced, the audience will be urged to refrain from all applause while a_contestant is delivering his speech. The 10-m:nute period continues re- gardless of interruption once it has be- gun, so that instead of heartening a speaker applause can_ serve only to work a handicap upon him. ‘The international contest finals in- variably invoke incredulity on the part of audiences who hear the speeches. The Latin countries’ entries always seem to speak longer than their fellow orators. Through the natural rapidity with which Spanish is spoken is ex- pected to permit the Mexican, Cuban and Peruvian orators to deliver longer speeches iz point of actual numbers of words than the English and Danisn speaking orators, and probably even longer than the two French speakers. | In “previous international coxtests 1t has been observed that the Spanish- speaking enirants delivered approxi- mately one-fourth more words than the average struck by the others. English is probably the “slowest” of the languages which will be heard in Con- stitution Hall next Saturday night. German probably will prove itself the second slowest in the impression it makes upon the audience. Foreign Language Knowledge. An audience ballot taken at last | year's international finals indicated the extent of the knowledge of the foreign languages among the listeners. Of the 4,031 who cast ballots, 2,326 declared they understood only English, while 230 understood all four of the languages used in that meet. One of the most interesting things shown by the audi- ence ballot was that had these 230 multi-linguists been the official )udges,l their decision would have given victory to the same contestant who was de- clared world champion by the official board of five multi-linguist judges. ‘The audience ballot as a whole, how- ever, gave the American entrant first place, but indicated without doubt that had all the listeners understood each of the speakers, the unofficial audience decision would have coincided with the official judgment which names Rene Ponthieu of Fran¢e champlon. ‘The ballots showed that 1178 u derstood the Frenchman, 755 under- stood the three Spanish speakers and that 702 understood the German youth. The count also showed that 226 un-| derstood only French, German and English; 193 understood only French, only German, Spanish and English. MILITARY FUNERAL | FOR GEN. ELWELL OTIS| ey | Military honors will mark the reinter- ment in the Arlington Naticnal Cem- etery Monday morning at 10 o'clock of the body of Maj. Gen. Elwell S. Otis, a veteran of the Oivil War and the Spanish War of 1898, who died at Rochester, N. Y., October 21, 1909, and was buried in a cemetery at that city. Born at Frederick, Md., March 25, 1838, Gen. Otis served as & captain in the 140th New York Volunteer Infantry, attached to the Army of the Potomac, in the early days of the Civil War. He took part in many important battles in Virginia and was brevetted colonel for | gallantry at Spottsylvania Court House, and also as brigadier general for gal- lantry at Chapel House, Va., where he was seriously wounded, in September, 1864. - In 1866 he was commissioned | lieutenant colonel, 22nd United States Infantry, and reached the grade of major general in June, 1900. During the Philippine Insurrection following the Spanish War he commanded the Inde- pendent Division, Expeditionary Forces, and was brevetted for “military skill and most distinguished services in the Philippine I~ Hs” Later he served as governor general of the islands and was in command of the Department of thezblkes at Chicago when he retired in 1902. FARM BOARD MEMBERS GET FIRST PAY CHECKS By the Assoclated Press. Receiving all together $24,000, the the eight men engaged since July 15 in assisting agriculture for the Gov- ernment have their first pay checks as members of the Federal Farm Board. ! The amount included two months’ back pay, due because their salaries had been held up pending their confirma- tion by the Senate. Each member's check, for $3,000, covered his salary at $1,000°a month since July 15, the date of their first meeting. The members received checks after their first month’s work, but pay- ment on them was stopped by the con- troller general who said theirs were not recess appointments because the Senate, though on vacation, officially was in session. | Delivery of the checks to the board members’ offices was made after their confirmation on Wednesday.

Miss Jeannie Winston, nationally fa- mous as a light opera prima donna nearly half a century ago, and a great favorite in this city in the days of Al- baugh’s Opera House, died here this morning at Garfield Hospital at the age of 84 years. For more than 35 years Miss Winston had made her home in Washington, where she had many friends. When her health failed about two months ago Miss Winston left her home, at 1718 Lanier place, and went to Atlantic City. A friend, Miss Katherine E. Thomas of 3573 Tenth street, joined her there and returned with her to Washington about two weeks ago. From the home of Miss Thomas she went to Garfield Hospital. Miss Winston was of Scotch descent and a native of Liverpool. She had no relatives here. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed. 1dol of Light Opera. Thousands of persons in Washing- ton, Baltimore, Richmond and other cities of the country remember the time when Jeanni= Winston was the idol of light opera lovers. They recall when she sang in “The Bohemian Girl as Arline, took the part of Leonora in “Il Trovatore” and appeared in the leading parts in “Fra Diavolo,” “Chimes of Normandy,” the “Princess of Tre- bizonde,” “Martha” and other famous operas. Onc of her most famous songs was “The Last Rose of Summer,” from “Martha.” Many times she toured the country {in light opera and she was the first | who took opera into the Rocky Moun- | tain region. She came to this country | with her own opera company from | Australia and soon established herself as a favorite from coast to coast. Miss Winston went to Australia when 14 years old and studied music there. She played in drama before she sang in opera. Soon after coming to this country by way of Canada, she ap- peared in “Galatea” in Baltimore for a benefit and later came to Washington. For many seasons she sang here, her last appearance in this city being in 1894, Sought and Feted by Elite. After retiring from the professional stage and making her home in this city Miss Winston played occasionally in small dramatic circles here, taking men’s parts like Petruchio in “Taming of the Shrew.” | “Miss Winston was a roval Javorite » e of her old adm - e sa'!%vg?ybody was wild about her. most attractive girl and was | ly a stage favorite, but she oLent and feted by the clite of Wash- ington in those day | cently. | She was a ‘Washington as her home because g\lgseregnrd(d gn as the most beautiful city in the world.

Lillian Mortimer's “The Path Across the Hill” will be the first of four pro- ductions by the Rohin Hood Players this season. The play will be presented Oc- tober 28 and 29 at St. Paul's Hall, Fif- teenth and V streets. The players again will be directed by Paul Messink, who has had considerable professional experience and is interested in furthering the little theater move- ment in Washington. Mr. Messink believes the cated plays have a broader apj that the theater can best reach all classes through this medium.
