Defects of Boats of the NC Pattern
Studied by the Naval Experts In
Washington To Play Its Full Part
in Naval Strategy Seaplane Must
Become as Independent Unit as Mod
ern Destroyer or Submarine.
Flying ships, instead of flying bouts,
will be the logical evolution of navy
seaplanes, navy experts believe, as a
result of the first air trip across the
Atlantic. First Impressions of the les
sons tauprht by that trip had already
taken definite shape In the miuds of
the men who conceived and built the
NC machines, one of which Lieutenant
Commander A. C. Read maneuvered to
a safe mooring at Plymouth, England.
It was the experience of the NC-1,
lost off the Azores, and the NC-3, bat
tered out of usefulness by heavy sens
before she made port at Ponta Del
ida, that the Inventive genius of the
department turned for Inspiration,
rather than to the TSTC-4,
Experts are convinced that to play
its fi ll part In naval strategy the sea
plan? must become m Independent a
unit s a modern submarine or de
stroyer. It must be able to keep the
seas in heavy weather, riding on fhe
surface. It must be able to lift itself
into the air or to plane down to a
safe landing, even when tall seas are
running, and it must provide for its
crew, safety, shelter, and reasonable
comfort under very adverse circum
stances, for the efficiency of the plane
depends- upon the efficiency of its
men.
To fulfill its function as a scout the
seaplane of the future must be able
to communicate at all times by radio,
Plan Flotillas of the Air.
The answer to all of these require'
ments In the minds of the experts is
larger craft, veritable flying ships. The
vision toward which the designers are
looking is that of flotillas of seaplanes
relying wholly upon their own power
for transportation on the surface or In
the air and oi-ating from swift
"mother ships," r.s submarines and de
stroyers now operate.
As battleships have developed from
It. 000-ton predveiMhiniighls to tho
13.000-ton uinnsrei? for which the navy
is now contrnctln.T, so, naval ollicers
say, seaplane evoletlri. will come type

wlt'u prrciiiing type. Till is the pro
gram laid out by the navy depart
ment us the basis for the request re
cently made to congress by Secretary
Daniels for $4i.000.000 for aviation de
velopment in the next fiscal year.
Part of this appropriation, if grant
ed, will go into lighter-thnn-aii devel
opment. The general board Is ex
pected to recommend the Immediate
purchase of a British rigid dirigible
for personnel training and the con
struction of a similar vessel on Amer
ican designs as a pilot ship of a fleet
of air cruisers. The purchase of the
British Zeppelin would permit the
training of a crew to handle the first
American craft when completed.
The navy department is said to be
ready to proceed with Zeppelin con
struction on its own plana whenever
congress grants authority and appro
priations. The ship, it is understood,
would not be patterned exactly on the
British modifications of German Zep
pelin construction. The discovery of
noncombustible helium gas to inflate
the bags is said to have pointed the
way to some radical changes in de
sign. Details of what is. contemplated
have not been disclosed.
Naval experts point out that in both
seaplane and dirigible development
one of the most Important elements to
he considered is that of getting effi
cient power. The Liberty motors have
proved highly satisfactory so far as
endurance goes on the transatlantic
flight, but no means have yet been
evolved to "get the full benefit of their
power. The problem is the same as
that encountered with steam turbines
in surface craft.
Testing Reduction Gear.
The navy has been working for
months with a reduction gear system
to go between the engine and the pro
peller. A similar device has permit
ted destroyers to use turbine engines,
hut it has been found a difficult tusk
to design a lightweight reduction gear
for seaplanes or other craft. Should
tills device be worked out, the NC sea
planes could be made much more effi
cient and their cruising radius could
be greatly increased.
As to the sea-keeping qualities of
the NC planes, the experiences bf the
NC-1 and NC-3 indicate to experts that
some way must be found to get the
plane surfaces higher out of the wa
ter. This would save them from bat
tering into the sea when riding the sur
face. New gasoline motors for lighter-than-nir
craft have been worked out
.Hid received their first test oo. the
flight of the dirigible C-.r from Mon
dial; Point, L. I., to St. John's, New-f-..indhind.
So well did they function
tiitt decision had been made to at
tempt a direct flight to Ireland with
tho C-5 before the ship was blown to
."a and wrecked. Another attempt to
: '.s the Atlantic will be made as soon
?.? similar erifiines can be installed In
another aircraft of the "C" type.

ON THE JOB
"Passing" for Insurance.
A Philadelphia physician. Doctor
Gnillard, who has examined great
numbers nf men for life Insurance com
panies, informs me that "the popular
styles In physique have changed." j
Guard writes in the Philadelphia
Press.
When I asked him to elucidate, he
replied:
"Not so long ago life Insurance com
panies made a great ado and scanned
with care all applicants who were un
derweight. Now underweight Is pass
ed over as of little consequence, while
overweight is reckoned as the stum
bling block,"
In other words, the thin riian was
once regarded as a poor risk, whereas
now lie Is preferred to the stout man.
When I asked the doctor to tell me
the reason for this switch around In
the popularity of the two types of the
male form divine, he said tuberculosis,
once the dread of the thin man, has
been far outclassed In fatality by other
organic diseases, especially of the
heart, which are apt to affect the more
rotund.
Truly, every dog has his day.
Cynicism.
We are reminded that resentmrr
doubt and cynicism are so easily mis
taken for the wisdom of disillusion
ment that there is double reason
to guard against them. Many a hurt
soul fancies It is growing wise in the
ways of the world when In truth it is
only growing hard and bitter. An
acquaintance with mankind does not
mean merely learning humanity's se;;my
side and being on guard against it. A
wider study will brine a far different
