Tulare, Cal., April 21.—Three
men were burned to death today

The victims were trapped in

enveloped both trucks.
Two of the victims were Leon-
ard Nelson, 28, of Chowchilla,
Calif., driver of a truck laden with
chicken feed, and a companion,
Paul Magee, 54, of Chowchilla.

Why Caunlcrbalances Are
on Airplane Propeller*
Devices not generally understood ap-
pear today on certain airplane pro-
pellers in tlie form of what seem to be
weights. That Is what they amount to
in effect—weights need for counter-
balancing effect. They are a part of
the mechanism which permits aircraft
propellers to be adjusted while in
flight. The effect is much the same
to an airplane as gears are to a motor
car.
By changing the pitch or settmg of
tlie blades while flying, the pilot cre-
ates the most efficient setting for the
propeller blades, depending upon
whether tlie machine is climbing or
flying in a horizontal position. The re-
sult is accomplished through oil pres-
sure, applied from the engine crank
case, through the crank shaft and so
to tlie hollow hub. The pressure forces
the change of setting in one direc-
tion, while tlie counterbalances bring
the blades back to normal position
when the pressure is released.
Gears are used In another type of
adjustable pitch propellers, the effect
being to permit setting the blades at
any desired pitch. Since the propel-
ler’s pitch means the “bite” which the
propeller may obtain In the air, it Is
highly desirable to change the pitch
in accordance with the job to be done.

Why Cigarette Paper Burns
The office of tobacco investigations
says that the paper used on most of
the popular brands of cigarettes con-
tains lime and magneria as a filler.
Such wrappers seem to have an impor-
tant effect in causing the cigarette to
hold (ire when lighted. While common-
ly known as rice paper, this paper is
not made from rice, hut from flax and
hemp trimmings, only now material be-
ing used. The flax and hemp is cut
Into small partlblcs, thoroughly mixed
nnd ground almost to a dust. Then it
Is put through a washing process,
crushed into a pulp and rolled out into
paper.
