RADIDWAVESHALT PROPELLER BLADE Whirling Machinery Appar-| ently Stands Still Under High-Speed Light. PITTSBURGH (#).—Radio waves traveling at nearly the speed of light now enable man to see what happens in the blur of whirling machinery. | An_ airplane propellor blade moving | at top speed, so fast that it is all but | invisible to the eye, appears to stop | and stand still when the new radio | lights are turned on, | 1f the speed is sufficient, the tip of | the blade may be seen to elongate under | the pull of centrifugal force | Appear to Stand Still. When the lights are directed upon moving belts and gears, those objects | appear to stand still, except for slowly | ‘writhing motions which reveal slipping and imperfections of action. | The radio waves are produced by | tubes in an apparatus the size of a| suitcase. They flash lights on and off with changes of speed formerly im- | possible. | For looking over an airplane pro- | pellor the lights flash on for about three ten-millionths of a second. The Tesult is to light the blade once in a revolution, and always in precisely the same position. To the eye the effect | is that of looking upon a stationary blade. Flashes Are Synchronized. The flashes synchronize with the speed of motion of the object under observation. They may be geared also either faster or slower so that a pro- pellor appears to be rotating slowly, either backward or forward. The apparatus has existed previously as immobile laboratory equipment. The new portable style was developed to en- able airmen and engineers to take it to their machines for a ready look-see. Darkness is the only external require- ment. The device is called the stroboglow and was developed by three young Westinghouse engineers, D. D. Knowles, | L. R. Peters and W. E. Bahles. | LONDON (N.AN.A).—One of the| most interesting stars on the London | stage today has been having a busy | time recently. Besides appearing with great success in “The Three Muske- teers” at Drury Lane (where he shares the honors with Dennis King) he has trotted across to Covent Garden and made his bow in grand opera with equal effect. His name is simply Sportsman, and | 1t expresses his nature, for who, if he | were not of & generous turn of mind, | would submit each day to having his | ribs painted so that he might appear emaciated as he’' carries handsome d’Artagnan on to the stage? It is less strenuous of course, than | winning the Derby, but when one is | g:oud of one's sleekness, it is a little | rd to be laughed at. Still, there was | some compensation when he recently | took the part of Grane in “Gotter- | dammerung” and bore “Brunhilde” | groudly on the stage like the excellent | orse he is. | Sportsman, who has been on the | stage several years, never suffers from stage fright and besides appearing in London has been on a number of suc- eessful tours, TWELVE-TEN . .

Shakespeare is being translated into Sechuana by Sol Plaatje, a native jour- nalist of Dechuanaland, South Africa, and the idea is making a hit among the natives, who are greatly interested in the sayings of the Bard. “Let me have men about me that are fat,” is an ex- pression of opinion which they heartily indorse, for all tribes believe that chiefs and other leaders should always be dis- tinguished from ordinary people by their imposing physique. One of the passages which they particularly apprectiate is “When beggars die there are no comets seen: the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.” For the native amn}m\mfll like ¢ Schlitz “q\'m-!'he will like the flavor of Schlitz Malt Syrup R S S ——— ‘F* STREET ‘F- STREET " The W orkmen Are Here!
