Special Correspondence to The Press
RHEIMS, Sept. 1.-The four pic
lures | send you with this letter
give at glance good idea of the
aeroplane styles as seen here dur
ing Aviation Week, and the week
before when the preliminary tests
were fully as interesting as during
the main event. There is the mo-
noplane, the biplane, the triplane
and the aeroplane with vertical
wings.
In reality there are but two pat
terms of flying machines-the mo-
nonane and the biplane. The tri-
plane is little used.
OF these two forms, It is hard
10 say which is the better. Each
has done some wonderful things.
Louis Bleriot. the famed Channel.
crosser, is the designer of the mo-
noplane shown In the picture. The
Latham apparatus, which almost
did the feat which Bleriot accom-
plished, is only slightly different
in form. Santos-Dumont, the Bra
Gillian, has a monoplane of his own
design, but it, too, is like the 9th
ers, while the r. +. p" monOplane
Is likewise similar.
The Voisin people, makers of the
triplane shown in the illustration,
also make the biplane with the YER
tied sides. The other biplane is
the familiar one of the Wright
Bros, and seven of these negOtiat-
ed the Rheims 10-kilometer course
during the week.
In the Coupe InternatiOnale
event there were seven mono
planes entered against IL biplanes.
Now that flying is comparative
ly easy matter and the aeroplanes
themselves are more or less trust
worthy, it is the engine which is
getting the most attention now
from the folks who fly.
There are four general styles.
Bleriot uses an Anzani motor OF
three cylinders, one cylinder being
vertical and the other two at either
side at an angle Of As degrees from
it. There is but one offset on the
driving crank, all three pistons be-
ing connected with this. The
Wright Bros. use a four cylindered
engine not unlike those in use on
automobiles, while the "R. E. p"
monoplane gets its name from its
engine, a seven-cylindered one, all
being arranged equally distant, one

Clears the Complex
ion Overnight
PimpIes, Rash, Eruptions, Eete.,
Quickly Eradicated by New
Skin Remedy.

Ever since Its discovery, poslam,
the new skin remedy, has, in its ex-
traordinary accomplishments, ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tons of the eminent specialist who
gave 1t to the world. 1t has cured
thousands of cases of eczema and
eradicated facial and other disfig-
urements of years standing. The
terrible itching attending eczema Is
stopped with the first application,
giving proof of its curative proper
ties at the very outset.
In less serious skin affections,
such as pimples. rash, herpes,
blackheads, acne, BARRIERS itch. ETC.,
results show after an overnight ap-
plication. only small quantity be-
ing required to affect a cure. Those
who use poslam for these minor
skin troubles should Immediately
secure one of the special SO cent
packages recently adopted to meet
such needs. Both the so cent pack
age and the regular 81 jar may be
obtained in Spokane at Murgit-
troyd's and Ritter's ana other lead
ing drug stores.
Samples for experimental pur-
poses may be had free OF charge by

Laboratories, 80 West Twenty fifth

ling.
THE aeroplane engine has no
balance wheel. 1t has no solid
base. 1t starts off ct full speed
and runs like lightning without
anything to check the great strain
always upon it-like a steam en-.
CINE without flywheel or govern
ors. Consequently, even with the
best workmanship and the finest of
materials, the aeroplane engine
shakes itself to bits mighty quick
ly unless very simply made. And
that must be the keynote of aero
engines: Simplicity"
