SCIENTISTS MAK BABY HURRICANE Reproduce Wonders of Nature in Experiments Washington, Aug. 26 (P—Wind pressures and wind phenomena are now being studied by the bureau of standards hy methods that involve the actual production of miniature hurricanes, and for purposes that touch upon problems in a half dozen fields of human enterprise. Air pressure that can be produced by gales is being worked out to a definte gauge for the bridge building constructor; while for the automobile industry the tests will determine how much power is required to move a machine against a breeze, and for the aviator the ex- periments are aimed at determiningy the proper shapes and curvature of the wings to reduce air resistance, the stresses that materials must en- dure, and the effects that propellers may attain. Originally, the bureau's work started in wind tunnels, which are tubes of various lengths and sizes, through which air is blown in measured speed and quantity, while the devices and’ objects under test are held in the current. Attached gauges show the pressure encoun- tered. Now the work has moved outs consisted of a smoke stack, 30 feet high and ten feet in diameter, vrected on a laboratory roof. By a specially improvised set of methods, the research men expect to mgasure actually the force of wind which the stack has to withstand period of its expos .data of value to gencrally. Complete models of buildings also have been erected for placing in the largest wind funnel at the labora- tory. The preliminary work such building which are actly to scale that zale of such vel structure, the building plode out from exteri r for reasons that are still obscure In another test in the 1 three wind tunnels, it has been de- termined that an automobile may require as much as 30 horsepow r aside, and re- markable ruction to progress from wind also has indicated The gales the bureau produced by specially desig teries of air propcllers, under control and measurems during and stack constructors would been uses Where close check of results is be- | inging made, wind is impregnated with smoke, so that its impact and dirccttion are visible. The wind tun- nels can produce gales up to 180 miles per hour. and | e, and one of the experiments | ards rather than collapse | est of | r| Norfolk—Norfolk, W. ship | Road Conditions in State of Connecticut Road conditions and detours in the State of Connecticut made neces- sary by highway construction and repairs, announced by the State | Highway Department as of August | 24, are as follows: Route No. 1 Branford—East Haven, Boston Post road is under construction.
