Bar’ r W’ns TT:~ Wagers by L tzzzzz c- Waiting Kar.:;.s City.—V...en it comes to making be... t's vice to let the oth er fellow pick the winning team, E. F. Swi rey, chairman of the board of the First National bank, believes! And to back up his contention, Swinney has a considerable num ber of checks which represent his winnings from friends who were sure they had a hunch on the win ning team. Under the glass top of Swinney’s desk are a large number of thgse checks — all uncashed. Swinney would rather keep them to remind the losers of their bad judgment than cash them. NEW ATTACK PLANES ARE SPEEDIEST YET Buffalo, N. Y.—America is forti. fying in the air. Winged messen gers of death and destruction, cap. able of speeds conservatively place4 at better than five miles a minute, are being turned out here for the military. The Curtiss-Wright fac« tory is a beehive of activity, witty orders for 392 planes of different types for both the army and the navy. Several types were tested here re. cently as the two military arms ac cepted them and sent them on to service squadrons. One tested was a twin-engined all metal attack plane which Harry Woodring, sec-, retary of war, asserts is the fasiest such in the world. A visiting army pilot who stood near by when the craft streaked by overhead, said: “That’s the fastest attack plane in the world, and there's no kidding i about it." Guns Fired Electrically. i The American ship is a mid-wing monoplane with a long tapering sil very fuselage. Its wheels retract as it speeds through the air with its two Cyclone 1,000 horse power en gines at full throttle. It carries two men—the pilot in the front cockpit and the observer, or gunner, aft. In the nose are implacements for four electrically fired machine guns. As a defense against enemy planes there is a gunner In the rear cockpit. He has a gun mounted on a turret which he can swing into almost any direction. Thirteen of these fast attack ships are being turned out rapidly for the army air corps. Meanwhile this plant is turning out an order of 210 single seater P 36-A pursuit planes, having just been awarded the contract in thq amount of $4,113,550 from the Wan department. These pursuit plane^ speed through the nir like a bullet. They are powered with double rovi Pratt & Whitney-Wasp engines of 1,030 horse power. Although the speed of these is a military secret, Secretary Woodring admits they fly at 390 miles an hour. It is estimat ed that ti ay climb at better than 3,0C0 feet-a minute. . * * Fli. a Nearly Straight Up. Lieut. E. S. Kelsey cf Wright field was flying one here recently that | shot almost. straight up into the nir until it was out cf sight in a few minutes. Lieutenant Kelsey, whq is one of tre army’s crack test pilots, ripped f h the clouds and then dove c rd, cnly to stapd th' ship on i-' ! '1 again and zobm u;i to a low l.o, -ing cloud bank. Another plane seen in flight was a •new navy scout bomber. It is a sin gle motored biplane for use on the . y aircraft carriers. It has the conventional arresting gear fon hurt landings cn the carrier decks. Tt lias machine runs firing through 1 . •'.'!!or a • nd carries a load s v ch can be dropped on i V i a vertical dive. i Sudden Slop for JNavy Cruiser r.'.-y.-'• TMMUririr Annapolis, Md.—Football’s in the air again, and watch out, Army mule!
