EXPERIMENTAL SHIP THAT CAN REACH 100 MILES AN HOUR

Washington, Apr. 18.

Jules Verne's fantastic story of a trip to the moon by rocket may be nearer reality than many believe.

Dr. Robert H. Goddard, who has worked 15 years on a liquid propellant rocket, has just reported that his experimental ship had reached a top speed of 700 miles an hour and that he hoped soon to surpass even this record.
