FOUR BALLOONS
WILL SOAR TODAY
BIG CRAFT WILL ASCEND AT
SAME HOUR
Newspaper Men to Be Given an OPP
portunity to Make Journey
Into the Higher
Air

The sight of four big balloons in the
air at once will be a part of todays
program for the aviation meet. The
balloons, New York, Peoria, City of
Los Angeles and Dick Ferris will
leave the aero field at Huntington Park
about 10 o'clock this morning. All but
the Peoria are of the standard racing
size of 10000 cubic feet, carrying up to
six passengers.
The Dick Ferris, which came from
New York on the Santa Fe last night,
was the latest balloon to be hauled on
the field 1t will be formally chris
tened this morning by Mrs. Ferris,
who will break bottle of California
wine on its anchor, following the east
ern custom of giving a balloon its
name just as a ship is christened. The
balloon will be weighed off and ready
to start before the christening, and the
pilot will shout Let go!" as soon as
the christening is finished.
Both the City of Los Angeles and
the Dick Ferris We're ordered from
Leo Stevens, the New York balloon
builder, and are fully equipped. The
City of Los Angeles was purchased
by the Aviation week committee, and
will be manned by local pilots for at
tempts at new aerial records.
Today will be the last of the prelim-
mary events at the aero field, where
balloons will qualify, and the remain
balloons will qualify, an dthe remain
ing days of the meet will be devoted
to special parties and attempts at rec
ords. A feature of the ascensions will
be newspaper parties made up of rep
resentatives Of the daily papers and
press associations. Each of the news
papers of Los Angeles will have an
opportunity to send a balloon party up
composed of members of it's staff.
The balloon events will take place
as near 10 o'clock each morning as
the return of the balloons from the
events of the previous day will permit
If possible four balloons will be sent
up each day. The balloon program
will be announced tonight or tomor-
row, following the competition of the
preliminary flights today.
The gas furnished at Huntington
Park, which comes from the high pres
sure mains of the Los Angeles Gas
and Electric corporation, has developed
an encouraging lifting power 1t is
at least 20 per cent better than that
taken from the low pressure mains in
the center of the city because of the
high pressure. The pilots estimate that
it shows a lift Of thirty-six pounds per
thousand cubic feet.

ROAD TO AVIATION
FIELD IS IMPROVED
Rains of Monday Night Prove Bene-
ficiaI to Those Visiting Big
Events in Automobiles

The shower of Monday night i'm
proved the automobile road to Aviation
field. on Monday the highway was
dusty and loose on the surface, but
the rain beat down the dust and the
thousands of automobiles that ran to
DOminguez yesterday rolled the sur
face smooth and hard.
Early in the day automobiles started
and by noon there was a steady pro-
cession which grew in volume and
reached its height about 1890 when
the road between Watts and Compton
and between the latter place and the
field was almost filled with machines
Near the Dominguez ranch the sur
face was soft and much cut by the
wheels Of the heavily freighted We
hicles that had passed earlier when
the road was wet and soft. At the
turn on the approach to the gate a
score of Workmen were kept all day
working on the ruts that continually
appeared. These men threw on a dry
surface and We're of much assistance
to automobilists. In the field where
the machines approached the parking
places the surface was soft and the
turf springy.
In the morning a large force was put
to work laying a plank road that
proved in every way a success. On
the slopes Of the hills inside the in
closure there were signs Of the strug-
giles heavy automobiles had gone
through. Workmen We're stationed on
the field to assist whoever they found
in trouble.
With the thoughtfulness that has
characterized Mr.. Ferris management
he stationed teams with ropes at va
rious points in readiness to pull out
any luckless chauffeur who ventured
into places that were soft and treach-
erous. The roads today should be in
superb shape and the thousands of
machines will find plenty Of parking
space where occupants may see the
flights without leaving their seats.

WORLDS RECORDS
MADE BY CURTISS

accident and the conversation with his
wife Paulhan left the cockpit of the
monoplane, and M. Miscarol took his
place.
After several futile attempts to fly
Miscarol finally got off the ground at
the northeast corner Of the field. He
reached a height of 80 feet at one time,
but when he passed the stand he was
not more than three feet off the
ground.
The high wind operated seriously
against the monoplane. After Miscarol
had circled the course he gave up in
disgust.
Just before Paulhan went up in his
monoplane Lincoln Beachy and Roy
Knabenshue appeared on the field in
their twin dirigibles. Beachy got away
first, and after being in the air few
minutes was forced to come to the
ground because his engine was not
working properly.~fThe high wind made
it almost impossible to keep the diri-
gibles in their course.
Knabenshue Is Successful
knabenshue. however. mastered the
air currents. He rose 800 feet into the
air, and sailed around a captive balloon
in the center of the field to the delight
of the spectators. After being in the
air ten minutes Knabenshue came to
the ground, anchoring his dirigible in
the field.
Paulhan made his second biplane
fight of five miles in 1000. In this
flight he went far north of the Domin-
guez road, disappearing behind a clump
of trees for minute or more. He
finally scared far to the west and south
and came directly over the grandstand
to earth in the center of the field.
While carrying NJ. Mason as a pas
senger Paulhan circled the course, cut
ting off a portion of the prescribed dis
tance, however. This flight was not
spectacular except through the fact
that Mason and Paulhan We're aboard
the Farman biplane.
Curtiss made two flights carrying
passengers. Jerome s. Fanciuln was
the first passenger, and Clifford B.
Harmon the second. The first passen-
ger flight was a mile, and the second
three quarters of a mile.
Miscarol made a two-mile fight in q
Bleriot monoplane in five minutes and
6 seconds. He went up at 4:50 p. m.
1t was while Miscarol was up that four
biplanes, two carrying passengers; two
dirigibles and n balloon were in the
air over the field. The monoplanes
have not worked perfectly since reach
ing Los Angeles, but Edward Cleary
stated last night that they would
demonstrate efficiency today or they
would be sent to the scrap heap.
The Bleriot monoplane resembles a
butterfly. The aviator sits in a cockpit
and controls his machine by the use
of back rudder. The engine is the
famous Gnome moteur type with pro-
peller blades attached to the shaft.

AUTOS WILL HAVE
BETTER HIGHWAYS
WILL REMEDY ROAD TROUBLE
AT AVIATION FIELD
AUTO CLUB AND COMMITTEE DO
WORK GRATIS
New Driveway into Grounds at Doe
minguez Has Seen Made and
Will Be Ready for Use
Today

The 10000 persons who visited Do
minguez park yesterday to witness the
aerial flights were given a demontra-
tion Of the fact that. despite the ge-
MUS OF men. Nuture has to be given
first consideration. OF the thousands
of automobiles which wended their
way to the aviation camp, nearly two
thirds were stalled in the marshy road
on the way from the main entrance to
the grandstand.
The rain of Monday night made
travelling worse than on the opening
day, the wheels of the big autos stick
ing deep in the mire and battling all
attempts to start them. 1t was pc
culiar condition that the early goers
Witnessed yesterday. Some of the
the various airships were making trial
flights while the autos were stuck IN
the mud. Teams of horses were en-
poyed to drag the autos to q place
where they could get footing. 1t was
a real triumph of the horse.
Tons of straw were used on the
driveway, making a comfortable walk
for pedestrians. but not stable enough
for the heavily laden autos.
Last night officials OF the AuloIhoplle
Club of Southern California announced
that today five teams of horses would
be in service to assist autos that could
not negotiate the distance to the grand
stand. This work will be done gratis
at the expense of the aviation commit
tee and the automobile club.
The wire fence inclosing the grounds
has been changed in order to afford a
new driveway for the autos. The
heavy wagons carrying he airships to
their camps, had rendered the driveway
unsafe for autos, and, bv moving the
fence. a new right of way will be es-
tablished.
A large force of worlImen was busy
last night making the necessary re-
pairs in the roadway, and it is thought
that autos will have no trouble today
in reaching their parking places
Along the Midway the takers profted
by the delay of the, autos, and many
of them agreed last night that the old
saying, IT'S an ill wind that blows
nobody good" is true.

MAY HAVE SPECIAL DAY
FOR SOUTHERN STUDENTS

In connection with the setting aside
of Friday as Southern California day
al the aviation meet, Professor Wilson
of the Burbank high school has sug-
gested to the local committee that a
special effort be made to secure a joint
attendance of high school students at
the field.
The suggestion contemplates some
thing in the roofing line at the park.
1t is very probable that prior to Fri
day announcement will be made of a
central meeting place. 1t is believed
that many high school students from
outside the city will be in Los Angeles
Friday.
Interest among the students here will
be stimulated by illustrated lectures to
he given by Professor CaVanaugh dur
ing some of the school periods. Slides
will show some of the prominent avia-
tors i'm flight.

PASADENA, Jan. 11.-Aviation mad,
Pasadena sent thousands of people to
the great meet on Dominguez field this
afternoon i'm automobiles and on the
first of the special trains to leave the

ton that on Thursday a great crowd

The board of trade is planning to send
the Crown City band with the local
delegation.
In honor of Aviation week Mrs.
Torrey Everett of st, John avenue en-
tertained at an aviation luncheon this
afternoon. The aviation motif was
carried out in the table decorations
and accessories. From the handsome
chandelier hung toy airships which
were mechanically operated, While
small airships were hand-painted upon
the place cards. The refreshments
were also suggestive of the air flights
now being made

MACHINE AND DRIVER
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

The Bleriot monoplane suffered a
slight accident yesterday afternoon at
Dominguez field, which might have re-
suited seriously had the trouble not
been discovered soon after the airship
left the ground. In assembling the ma
chine for yesterdays fight the wires
which lead from the cockpit to the
rudder, and with which the machine is
guided, became crossed.
The Bleriot started nicely, but soon
after it left the ground it was discov-
cred that something was wrong. The
driver could not guide the machine,
and it plunged and reared like a
bronco.
Finally the power was shut off and
the machine came to the ground. 1t
hit on one wheel only and nearly
turned turtle, but righted, and the diff
flculty was soon repaired. Afterward
the machine made several successful
flights

ACTOR WILL SOAR

Harry FOX. now playing at the Or
pheum theater, will be the first actor
in the world to take a flight in an aero
plane. Mr. Fox has been invited to
ascend at Aviation camp today by
Frank A. johnson, who has charge of
one of the Curtiss machines, and Mr..
Fox has arranged to make the ascent
this afternoon-to the intense envy of
all his fellow professionals.
Mr.. Fox is a Pasadena youth, and is
in Los Angeles after four years alb
sence from home. He says he is willing
to be here, however, even without the
family, as the aviation meet and the
fine weather are both too good to lose.
