Herewith Is pictured the ratlless sailing ship, built by the German engineer, Anton Flettner, which has
proven the au.riue sensation of the year. It is shown in Kiel harbor, where it was demonstrated to the
Association o'.’ Marine Architects, instead of sails, Flettner uses two revolving towers, smooth and capped
at each end to assure tlte formation of a perfect vacuum. There is no propeller whatever, but the towers
are revolved by a small Diesel engine. Only the position of the towers on the ship and the rudder control
Its direction of travel. Momentum is given by the pressure of wind from an angle on the revolving towers,
whose effective speed is regulated to correspond to the velocity of the wind.
Autos Sign of Luxury
Taxed High in Vienna
Vienna.—Characterized repeatedly
in recent years as the "Dying Fairy
City," Vienna, once known for its
luxury and which had a strong up
ward swing into something like
prosperity after stabilization of its
money, is raptdly again sinking into
dire poverty.
The best evidence of this is in
the rapid decrease of private motor
cars within the last few months. In
Germany and Austria, motor cars'
arc barometer of prosperity—in fact
they arc considered the last word in 1
luxury. Automobiles are not recog- i
nized as a necessary means of
transportation. Particularly are the'
tax authorities in Germany and j
Austria, where the ox team is still
common, obsessed with the idea
that motor cars are nothing but
luxury. IJ you own a car you must
be rich and can afford to pay.
There is a luxury tax of 15 per
j cent, on each ear, new or second
hand, In addition to two and a naif
•
per cent, sales tax. Then there Is
a state operating tax that In Vienna
runs up to $800 a year for a high
powered car.
Vienna with a population of 2,
000,000, the fourth largest city In
Europe, had at the beginning of
the year only 4,500 private automo
biles. Taxes and hard times ha*
reduced this number by 1,300, or
almost one-third. In the last few
months. During October 400 car
owners cancelled their numbers,
saying they could no longer afford
motor car*.
