ors Of aerial apparatus who believe
that they have oye3ved something bet
ter than any one else has thought of
and who need only capital to make
themselves famous. and their hackers
rich, VIII nave an opportunity at h

people to finance their work.
Announcement that inventors with
drawings. models or partially complet-
ed machines viii be eligible Go take
space in the Coliseum, whore the ex-
hibition will be held. has been ~receiv-
ed with enthusiasm by inventors all
over the country who have SO far been
unable to make the financial connec
tons which they need. q. l.. I~Iolton,
manager Of the show, told OF this

with all necessary accommodations
for aeroplanes. The business Mems
League, the Missouri Euronn OF Inn
migration and the Aero club of st.
Louis are back OF the movement to
spend 100000 for the purpose In order
that ST. Louis may be established as
the center of the new industry OF
making aeroplanes.
II the plans mature this week as
expected, work on the aviation field
will mmenc at once and by the
! time Of the opening OF this show this
! fall, II Is expected that there will be
five aeroplane manufacturers already
established here. The promoters OF
the public field believe that the 100
or more manufacturers Of things aero
nautic, who will exhibit at the indoor
show, will be largely influenced to set
up their factories in st. Louis on ac-
count of the unusual facilities which
win be afforded.
The plan IL based on the fact that
there Is no such field NJ present in
this country, that the crying need OF
every builder OF an aeroplanc Is q
suitable place Ia maneuver In compar-
alive safety. close to n big city. That
"A great a%eronantic industry Will re-
suit from the work of three thousand
or more who are now building ma
chimes in this country alone seems In
eyitable, Il is argued,
This field would be different from
the one proposed by w. *. Nander-
bit, Jr,, who wishes 20 convert the
Long Island Motor Parkway. where
the Vanderbilt cup motor races nave
been held, into a great aviation field.
His idea r. to establish n racing
course and has in mind the promo
ton of the sport Of aerOplaning with
out reference TO the manufacturing in
dustry, requiring that all aviators
who use the course become profess
sinnal %aeroplane race drivers.
The st, Louis field would be a
permanent place for the headquar-
ters Of aviators and manufacturers,
the hangers on the field would be
open free to any one with an aero
plane. under any necessary ~restric-
tiOns that might he required in time.
The public would be free TO watch
daily the manouvors Of these machines
from grandstands provided for the
purpose. The Aero club OF st. Louis
would guarantee to conduct two or
more meetings q year with an APP
propriatc prize list and charge admis-
sion only as far as necessary to de-
fray expenses Of the meet, turning
any profit that might accrue back to
the field fund for the maintenance OF
the grounds and hangers.
