; | e i ra how S N g ety o e SPEED AUTO BULT T0 RUN ONE HoU Major Segrave's “Golden Arrow” Costs $1,350 Per Minute London, Feb. 22 (P—Maj. O. D. H Segrave's $75,000 racing car in which he hopes to wrest from the United States the world's land speed record is the gift of a millionaire. About 18 months ago Mr. Oliver J. 8. Piper, noled British aports- man, and chairman of the board of dircctors of the Red Triangle group ement companies, walked un- dly into Major Segrave's of- “1 hear you want to get the rec- | back,” he said. “Well, d get a car buit. signer that he can what he likes and that he is to| spare no money in making the car a8 safe as is humanly possible.” The “Golden Arrow” will be run for only about an hour, including trials and the great race itself twice over Daytona's sandy track. The distance it will cover in that time, allowing for starting and stopping, is estimated at approxi- mately 150 miles. The cost of the | run works out, therefore, at about $1.250 per minute. Ixperts here declare the car to be one of the most extraordinary feats of modern motor engineer- ing. Almost every component part | has been chiscled from solid | chunks of Dritish steel, eveh to such minute parts as nuts and bolts. Specially constructed ma- chines have turned out every bit| of metal in its make-up with the | care and delicate workmanship ac- | corded & work of art, The car was designed to yield a maximum speed of 250 miles per | hour, but as a safety measure it| has been curbed to do only 240 miles per hour. The cockpit, which just fits Major Segrave's slim body, | is encased in armor plating. It is thought impossible for the car to| overturn, owing to its low center of gravity, but should such an ac- cident occur the armor plate is ex- pected to take the shock. Major | Segrave will be strapped in his seat. The car is shaped like a bullet and steered like one. Every ex- posed part is streamlined, includ- ing such small items as the steer ing-rod joints. It will recelve a finishing coat of gold paint, so that {its name “Golden Arrow,” wiil be graphical ly symbolized when it is in action. JAPANESE NOBLES SENT T0 ENGLAND "mbassy {o Britain Has Stall of Blue Bloods Tokyo, Feb. 22 M—Under Ambas- ador Tsuneo Matsudaira, who will assume his new post there in Febru. ary, the embassy in London will have what 18 belleved to be the bluest-blooded staff ever sent abroad by Japan. This future is arousing interest in the press here in connection with recent discussion of closer Anglo-Japanese cooperation in the far east and renewed evidences of the close friendship between the British and Japaness ruling fam- ilfes. During the lliness of King George the Japanese emperor has made frequent solicitous 1inquiries as to his progress, while it Is remem- bered that if nothing untoward in- tervenes, such as the king's death, it is planned for the Duke of Glou- cester, the king’s third son, to make a visit of state to Japan in the spring to invest Emperor Hi- rohito with the order of the Garter. Ambassador Matsudairs, until last summer Japanese ambassador to Washington, himself belongs to one of the noblest families in Japan. His father was the first Viscount Matsudaira, daimyo, or feudal lord, of the Clan of Aizu, at the time of the abolition of the feudal system half a century ag: The lords of this clan were descend- ed directly from the second of the Tokugawa Shoguns, the military chieftains who actually ruled Japan from 1600 to 1868. Mr. Matsudaira's present chief clalm to high connection, however, is as father-in-law of Prince Chi- chibu, heir presumptive fto the throne. Should Emperor Hirohite die without a son to succeed him, Ambassador Matsudaira would be- come the father of an empress, his 19-year-old daughter, Setsuko, now Princess Chichibu.

Boston, Feb. 22 (—The age-old |aversion of Malay and Lascar sail- ors to traveling with the dead caused Captain George Naylor of the British steamer City of Shanghai to resort to a novel subterfuge in transporting the body of a Canadian from Egypt to Halifax, N. 8, it was learned yesterday when the vessel arrived here from Calcutta, Colom- bo and Port Sudan. T. B. Greening, prominent Ca- nadian manufacturer, who died re- cently in Egypt, had previously ex- pressed a wish that his remains be sent to Hamilton, Ont., for burial, Desirous of complying with Greening's wishes but fearing that trouble would ensue from the na- tives of Indian nationality in the {ship's crew if they knew the body was aboard, Captain Naylor let it be known that a ‘“statue” was to be taken aboard. Believing the box-en- cased body of Greening was the statue, the crew put it aboard with- out suspicion. Again at Halifax, they assisted in removidg it from the ship. The ship's officers were much re- lieved when the body was unloaded at Halifax, for they had been con- stantly on the alert for an outbreak if the nature of the ‘“statue” was learned.

Charles A. Lindbergh, who has flown safely from New York to Paris and on many other hasardous flights, has joined hands with the government to make the air safe for tors and the ground safe for pedestrians. After Secretary of Commerce Whiting had announced Lindbergh had been named technical adviser to the aeronautical branch of the commerce department, it was learn- ed the flying colonel would pay iparticular attention to regulating planes and pilots. Stunting and flying low over cities already are forbidden by the depart- ment in the interest of safety, and it was believed Lindbergh would offer from time to time suggestions on more stringent regulations ac- cumulated from his various flights. The department explained Lin bergh's connection with the govern- ment would not interfere with his other duties. He will be called in for advice on air problems whenever needed and will receive the same compensation as other technical ad- visers estimated at approximately $25 a day. Y Nothing New to Him Serving in an advisory post will be nothing new Lindbergh. He holds similar assignments with the | Danlel Guggenheim fund for pro- motion of aeronautics, the Pan- American Airways and with the Trancontinental Afr Transport. He is now making a survey flight for the latter concern. In addition to regulations, the government will seek his advice on airways extel dealing with equipment, construction of new bea- cons and other similar projects; air- port construction; airway mapping; accident prevention and aeronautical research, Commerce department officials saild today they always have feit Lindbergh was one of their official family, pointing out that on each visit to Washington he has consult- ed with aviation officials and made many suggestions gleaned from his flights, Youngest of Young Experts A glance at the prominent figures in aviation here revealed Lindbergh would be the youngest official in a line primarily in the hands of young men, William P. MacCracken, assistant secretary of commerce in charge of aeronautics, is 39 years old. Major Clarence M. Young, director of the bureau of aeronautics, is 40, Assist- ant Secretary of War F. Trubee Davison in charge of aeronautics, is 33, and Assistant Secretary of Navy Edward F, Warner in charge ot ‘aeronautics is In his early 30's. Lieut. Al Willlams, crack navy pilot is in his 20's while Lieut. El- wood Quesada, night pilot of the record-breaking Question Mark, is only 25 years old. Commerce department officials #aid today there was no immediate problem awaiting advice from Col. Lindbergh and it was probable he would not be called in the near future, Moslem-Hindu Rioting Breaks Out in India London, Feb. 22 (A—A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Bombay says religious rioting between Hindus and Moslems has broken out in Bangalore, the chief city of Mysore, southern India. The outlook is described as se- rious with reports of police having | been stoned while attempting to res- cue a Hindu from a mob. The' dis- patch says that the trouble origi- nated in kidnaping charges similar to those which precipitated the Bombay riots of two weeks ago. During the week ending February 11.

By custom, the resignation of all will be placed in his hands when he assumes the presidency, His plans are unrevealed. Any wholesale change of personnel at the heads of the diplomatic missions would be unprecedented in modern times. There are men of long, loyal service in both groups. Their ex- perience and understanding of in- ternational problems are of value to a new president. There are, too, in the political group, men whose influence would be great with any republican administration, It in to that they owe their present appointments, Nine of the 26 non-carcer men are ambassadors and 17 are min- isters. In the entire list, there are 14 ambassadors, cach receiving $17,- 500 a year, and 39 with the rank of minister or minister resident, most of whom draw a $10,000 sal. ary.
