Hanna furnaces of the Great Lakes Steel Corporation. Detroit, Michigan. Coke oven pusher. A long square pusher is inserted through the entire section of the coke oven, thus pushing the coke out to the other side into the freight car. This coke oven is a modern by-product oven. All the gases and vapors liberated from the coal in the cooking processes are recovered. The coal is heated from fifteen to twenty hours in a temperature of about 1700 degrees F. The gases and vapors released by the coal are condensed for the recovery of such by-products as tar, benzol, and gas. At the end of the coking period, the incandescent coke mass is pushed into the quenching car

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

He is giving Congress a week from Monday to perfect a plan. If Congress falls down, Cowboy Gassaway is going to work on a multi-ramified program which in general specifies the return of the horse and fewer automobiles. In one hour his week on a D.C. street is counted 1800 cars. "That's whats wrong!" he suggests. People will buy a gallon of gas when they have no "bread" or likker in the house."
