Soldiers inspecting new trackless tank during demonstration at Fort Myer, Virginia. Tank was manufactured by the Trackless Tank Corporation of New York, and submitted to the Ordnance Department, U.S. Army, for inspection. Preliminary tests indicate that the tank may be adaptable for reconnaissance purposes, possibly replacing scout cars. Tank weighs 10 tons. During initial, brief tests at Fort Knox, Kentucky, it made 45 miles an hour across rough country, with a 37 mm gun and two machine guns mounted in its turret; its designer says it can travel 85 mph on level ground. It is powered by a 250 horsepower diesel engine, and carries 1/2-inch armor. Tentative plans of the Army call for a redesign of the superstructure for better arming of the tank

Roger Perrier wants to be a designer. He draws automobiles, Red Cross men wearing campaign hats, and riding bicycles, Baldwin locomotives, trolly cars and American war ships with the Stars and Stripes at both bow and stern. The strong American tone in his designs is accounted for by the fact that the Enlisted Men of Battery "A" of the ... Field Artillery have made him their mascot and he is enormously proud of it. His designing, however, occupies only his leisure hours. Most of the time when he is not in school, he helps his mother make rain coats of horizon blue for the French Poilus. The American Red Cross administers the funds for the maintanence of all the children adopted by the American Troops

The new 'flying tube' airship. Washington, D.C., Mar. 14. Immediate commercial development of a new lighter-than-air airship of novel design, which its engineering sponsors believe will revolutionize air transportation, bringing safety, speed, load capacity, and easy maneuverability to airship performance, was announced today. Air sucked through the tube will create a vacuum in front and give a propulsive kick at the outlet. Universal joints will be located at the entrance and exit of the tube, moving in any direction of the air intake and outlet, thus steering the flying tube. The ship will be entirely metal clad and the lifting power will be helium gas in aluminum partitions. Garret W. Peck, designer and vice pres. in charge of construction, left; and Clifford C. Jones, specialist with the Inter-Ocean Dirigible Corp., right, with the working model of the ship
