SPRAYING CITY
STREETS WITH OIL
Automobile Sprinkler on De-
mOnSIrating Trip Here
Does Good Work

An interesting experiment with an auto
mobile DUST laying machine was tried here
10 day and from all accounts its work was
satisfactory. The machine which IS Of tho
Autocar make. is the property Of one Of
the subsidiaries Of the Standard oil Com
pany II has the appearance Of an auto
truck except that it has a 800 gallon tank
on it.
Under the apparatus is the spray which
shoots the oil used in spraying directly
into the ground. Il is possible for a per-
on to stand beside the machine while il
is I'm operation without getting any Of the
LIQUID on hir clothing. This is considered
one of the best features Of the machine.
This morning the automobile sp ayed
Market street between Twenty-third and
Twenty-ffth streets and Franklin street
between Pennsylvania and Delaware ave
nues. Later, in the presence Of several
members of the Park Commission, the
machine operated on the park drive with
evident good result.
The machine is travelling from city to
city merely as an experiment and no at
tempt is being made to sell II at this
time. It is merely on a demonstrating
trip.

H0NORS HEAPED
UPON CURTISS
But American Winner of In
ternatiOnaI Pr ze is Anxi-
GUS TO Return
BY United Press Leased Special Wire,


RHEIMS. Aug. s0-With first place
in the Coupe Internationale and in the
speed contest for thirty kilometers.
and second place in the speed con-
test for ten kilometers, the three
carrying with them the most coveted
honor in the field of aviation and So
600 In prize money, Glenn II. Curtiss
has gone to Paris, there 20 be the
guest of honor at a dinner by Am
bassador White, before returning 20
New York.
Curtiss is still being flooded with
invitations to exhibit his wonderful
golden flyer" but it is probable that
he VII decline them all as he is anx-
ious to return 10 America. While In
Paris it is likely that he will dispose
of the aeroplane that won such signal
honors. a dozen flattering offers have
been made for IL.
In the conclusion of events on the
Plain of Bethany, Curtiss won the
Prix de la Vitesse, three times around
the course Of 1883 miles. in % minutes
and 20 seconds. which with the penal
ization Of one length time for not
starting in the efst attempts. made
his official time 25 minutes 40 2-5 sec
onds. This was nearly minute
faster than Lathams best time and
gave Curtiss first prize.
Those who entered in the order OF
their finish were:
Tissandier, Lefebvre, De Lambert
Latham 0n a second machine). Paul
han, Bunau- Varilla and Sommer.
Latham won tho prize for altitude
with a record of sos feet. This was
one of the most spectacular events as
his flight was made while the moon
was shining brightly. Farman was
second in this event, Paulhan THIRD
and Rougier fourth.
Henri Farman carried two pas
sengers over the course in 1923 anc
one passenger in 9.52 As.
Farman's achievements show tha
his bi-plane was probably the mos
durable machine on the course. as II
all contests requiring strength ant
stability it won.
Nearly all of the aviators have lef
the town. which i'm one short weel
won a place in history as the scen'
of the first serious test Of an inter
national sort OF the practicability o
aviation. The plain OF Bethany. ha
won a place for all time in aeronauti
history.
