Germans Quit Wrangling
Over Rates of Exchange
BERLIN, Apr. S.— (AP).—The sta
bilizing of the German mark evident
ly has had the result of reducing
in large measure litigation among
German business men. The mercan
tile courts of the country, which deal
largely with commercial disputes,
report a large falling off of cases
since January, 1924, when the renten
mark first made its appearance. For
one thing there has come an end to
the countless disputes over exchange
rates.

MODERN ROMEO
BREAKS LADDER
-.
1 ROME, Apr. 8—A modern Romeo
of Trent, met with a severe aeci
dent recently because his improvis
ed ladder was not long enough to
reach his sweetheart's window and
i as a consequence, it slipped, causing
! him to fall to the street.
It is the custom in that part o
the country for a lover to steal ar
extra kiss or two by climbing to his
sweetheart’s bedroom window whei
| the rest of the family was asleep. Hi
; provides himself with a long pol<
! and fixes it firmly in the grount
and “shinnies” up to the balcony, o
window.
This Romeo's love will make up fo
the shortcomings of his ladder, fo
he declares that as soon as he i:
I well again he will procure a longe
| ladder and again seek a kiss.

AIR SERVICE FLYERS
DEPICT THEIR TRADE
IN COLORFUL TERMS
WASHINGTON, D. C\, Apr. 8 —
(AP).—The army air service, upon
which the Congressional spotlight
has recently playefl with brilliancy,
has developed a vocabulary all its
own.
An air service officer who can’t tly
is popularly known as a “keewee,”
from the Arctic bird with undevelop
ed wings. When one becomes con
fused in conversation, he is referred
to as being a “flat spin.’’ “Ground
flying” denotes conversation con
cerning flying. When a speaker at
a banquet orates at undue length,
an air service hint to him to “land
is to place two matches to form a]
T, representative of a plane’s out
lines.
“Ceiling” is the highest point an
aircraft can reach, depending on its
horsepower and the air density.
“Washed out” is the army aviator’s j |
designation for getting killed, and , {
“cracked up” means a wrecked plane, j J
in which the pilot might not be dead. ;
“Archie” is an endearing term that <
army fliers have for all anti-aiiciatt
artillery.
Any particular design of aircratt j
is known as a “job,” the propeller,
being termed the “prop.” “Give er j
the gun” is the air equivalent of;
stepping on the gas to speed up. To j
“set down” is to land, but when the
flier tries to run parallel to the
ground beyond the conventional land
ing height and falls a few teet in
his intentional descent to mother
earth, he is said “to pancake."
A “liisso” is a training plane
equipped with a Hispano-Suiza mo
tor. A “Jenny” is a training plane
of the JN type. To “take off” is to
get into the air, and a “hop” is a
short flight. A “barrel roll” is a
complete revolution lengthwise. “To
zoom” means to climb very sharply
j for a short period. A “sausage” is
1J a small dirigible or balloon,
i To come to the more scientific
1 terms, an “airplane” is sustained by
• dynamic action, whereas an “aero
J stat” is an airship or balloon filled
1 with gas lighter than air. The army
air service has not developed the
“ornithopter” which, bird-like, flaps
' its wings to aid the maohine’s tlight.
considering this type not suited to
5 service needs. It is interested in
the development of the “helicopter,”
capable of rising vertically by a
thrust of its propeller. A “glider,”
3 which is an airplane without a mo
- tor, such as the Wright brothers
l first learned to fly in, is now being
l- j used by the army as a target.

SWEDES BELIEVE
U. S. AMMUNITION
WINS BIG SHOOT
WILL MAKE TESTS DETERMINE
WHY MARKSMEN OF U. .S
ALWAYS WINNERS
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Apr. 8 —
Whether it is the American rifles,
ammunition, or superior marksmen
ship that is responsible for the re
peated American victories in the in
ternational shooting competitions the
Swedish military authorities hope to
find out, and a definite proposition
has been submitted to the Artillery
Department of the Swedish Army
Headquarters by the noted small
arrns expert and marksman. Captain
Thur Holmberg, calling for the
purchase and study of American
rifles and ammunition such as are
used by the winning American teams.
That marksmanship is not wholly
to be credited with the good scores
made both last year at Rheims and
recently in Chili, South America,
Captain Holmberg concludes, because
other contestants have achieved bet
ter results with the American arms
than with their own. In this connec
tion he recommends a close compara
tive study of the types of rifles
used in the American army and in
the Swedish army, the rifling, the
firing mechanism and the composi
tion of the bullets, as well as the
powder. A
The American army rifle has a
slightly larger calibre than the Swe
dish—7.62 millimeters, as compared
with 6.5—but it is really the ammu
nition that Captain Hoimberg sus
pects is responsible for the super
iority of the American shooting.
There was a time when the Swedish
powder wras rated as among the best
in Europe at least; but now Captain
Hoimberg is inclined to believe that
it has been surpassed by certain
American brands. What he proposes
to study is, first, wherein the Amer
ican equipment is superior; second,
to what causes such superiority, and
third, how these advantages might
be incorporated in the Swedish man
I ufacturing processes.
