Novel Steering Device.

The steering device is one of the novel
features. and if it works with the big
aeroplane as it has done with the gliders,
it is claimed it will prove one of the
devices not in conflict with the Wright
patents. 1t is semi-circular shape, with
the diameter of the circle forward. 1t
is split from the diameter to the rear
circumference. so that one-half of the
plane may remain raised while the other
half is pulled down. Pulling down either
half of this semi-circle acts on the air
like backing water with the oar of
boat, and tends to throw the machine
around. Dropping both of these forward
rudders will send the machine up in the
air and elevating them both will guide
it down. The whole of this steering de-
vice is controlled from bicycle handle
bar set in the center Of the machine.
The operators seat is just back of this
handle bar ana forward of the motor.
The machine RUS on very small ball
bearing rollers and rises off a track but
without the aid of a falling weight 1t is
possible that skids Will be put under the
machine for landing before trial is
made, Mr.. Smidley thinks the rollers
are a little too small for operating on a
dirt surface

Grace Margaret Gould tells IN the

rome Of the ways the ParisIan dress

that she saw worked In one Of the big

There was sudden and evident
commotion among the employees

And the point Of this fable is this;
The princess was no princess. but an

Every French gown has two prices

It Is needless to say which is the

Along about April the cry goes up,
