.DELAPLANE
FLIES SOME
SeidIinger'S Machine Rises to
Height Of Five Feet and
Goes Nearly 50 Yards
ANOTHER TRIAL FLIGHT
TO BE MADE NEXT WEEK

The airship "Delaplane," designed
and built by Robie Seidlinger Of this
city was tested shortly before 6
o'clock last evening In the presence
of several persons, Eddie Bloomfield,
a Wilmingtonian, few FIVE feet above
ground for short distances at Wawaset
Park.
II had been intended to try to make
long fight. but owing TO the tncle-
ment weather, II was decided merely
TO try the engine by running the ma
chine over the ground. Bloomfield
elected to conduct this test. and first
glided the machine several hundred
yards, the engine working effectively.
The machine was then pushed back to
the starting place again, and another
run on the ground of 800 yards was
made. At the third run. after he had
sped over the ground for some dis
tance, Bloomfield tilted the front plane
and the machine scared gracefully to a
height of five feet at times. Bloom
field then held the plane TO a level and
the "Delaplane" sailed gracefully for
nearly so yards before Bloomfield
manoeuvered It back to earth. AS
the machine alighted, the skid or
brake. which is made of wood, struck
rut. and broke
Elated at this successful test of the
engine and the fight of the machine,
Seildinger and Bloomfield and friends
returned 1t to the shed. Another test
may be made next week
1t was Bloomfield's first trip in an
airship, and he hopes to become a
professional aviator. He is a demon
strator for the Pierce-Arrow Automo-
bile Company in this city, and assist
ant to Frank Alderman, local manager
Of the Pierce-Arrow agency.
The "Delaplane" has been changed
slightly since il was built. One pro-
pellor Is now used instead of two. and
some OF the tail has been cut of In
addition to these changes the engine
has been taken from the diamond
frame behind the seat and placed sew
eral feet under the main plane.

ONLY BRUISED BY
POWDER BLOW-UP
Quarryman Tossed Into Pit
When Explosion Rips
Up Rock

Edward Collins, aged about so
years, living near Wooddale, previous
to last Wednesday. handled powder
and dynamite for many years without
mishap, but on that day he met his
waterloo. He was blown off ledge
forty feet from the bottom of quar-
~ at Patterson, near Wooddale, where
he was at work and fell on a pile of
broken stone at the bottom Of the
pit. How he escaped being killed is
a miracle. His luck remained with
him, however, and he escaped with
comparatively few injuries.
Collins was admitted to the Della
ware Hospital Yesterday afternoon
he was able to leave that institution.
He was injured about the back, had a
deep cash cut over one eye by a piece
of stone, and was badly bruised about
the body.
Collins was employed by Hughes
Bros. and Bangs, at the Bellevue
quarries for a number OF years ana
also at a quarry in Connecticut, which
supplied the stone for the bulkhead al
Point Juliet. He was what is known
as the powder man." setting the
charges for blasts and firing them.
In his work at the Patterson quar-
ry where he has been working Col
Inns used a registering battery which
registers the number of blasts
that go off. This machine showed
that there was one of a series OF
blasts that did not go off and he pro-
ceeded to draw the charge. Smoke
issuing from the hole did not alarm
Collins. he thinking that it came from
the tampings used in pressing the
charge home, but when the volume
of smoke became thicker he con-
cluded that the charge was afire and
an explosion would quickly follow
He tried to escape but the blast oc-
CURED within an instant and he was
hurled from the ledge to the bed OF
broken stone below. He managed tc
crawl out of thu pit and shortly after
ward was brought to the hospital in

AUTO DEMAND
TO LONG CONTINUE
General Manager Of Big Pro-
ducinG Concern Optimistic
About Future Of Industry
SALMONS GIVES
SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

That the automobile industry is here
to stay is fact that is becoming more
evident every day. and with the many
uses at the present time for the car 1t
is hard to see just how 1t could be dis
pensed with There need be no con-
Germ either about over production, R.
II. Salmons, of the Selden Company
says:
In spite of the fact that there were
produced in the United States nearly
100000 cars this year and that there
are now approximately 100000 cars
In use, the population is so great and
the automobile can be put to so many
uses that the demand of new owners
alone viii not be satisfied for several
years to come
The number Of cars at present in use
equals less than half Of one per cent.
of the total population. very small
percentage, yet one that means years
of production before the demand for
pleasure cars alone is filled. Then, too,
It is claimed that there are 8,000,00
farmers and suburban dwellers In this
country who are in position TO buy
automobiles. This number does not in
clude city residents.
With a production of 100000 cars a
year for several years this one Held
alone viii be only partly covered. The
farmer. the merchant. the manufactur-
er. the wholesaler and the retailer are
finding uses for the automobile every
day. In social life, which also must
be considered, there Will always be a
big demand for automobiles.
Since it's advent the automobile has
grown day by day more necessary TO
the American people and must now be
considered along with the telephone
and the locomotive. II is in a way as
much a necessity as Is either OF these.
and in time its uses are bound to in
crease In number. all Of which would
tend to prove that the automobile is
not only here to stay, but is as we'll
destined to revolutionize social and
business conditions as the telephone
and the locomotive both have.
Looking at the facts squarely, ] can
see only n brilliant future for the In
dustry. with the wiping out OF many
OF the mushroom concerns that started
business only with the idea OF getting
rich quick. the automobile industry
will assume normal conditions. In fact
II already has, and excepting for an
occasional splutter here and there the
pvrotechnics are Of the past, and the
Industry as a whole is. and will con-
tinue for years TO come, on a solid
basis.
with s4oo. 900. 900 invested in the
industry, S60,000,000 spent by the
manufacturers annually for rubber,
steel. iron and aluminium. etc, and
S25. 600 600 spent during the year in
freight charges alone, It looks very
much as though the business had as
sumed proportions which would seem
TO warrant the belief that It is large
enough to take care of itself Tor some
time to come The industry really al
vet Is In it's infancy and there Is {
future ahead Of II too gigantic 70

PIERCE ARROW
MAKES ALL PARTS
Buffalo Auto Company Gives
Car Owners Another Special
Advantage

Amepican and European methods in
the marketing OF motor cars differ
radically but perhaps in no phase Of
the industry is the variance OF Gus
toms so noticeable as in that of the
handling OF car bodies Years ago in
almost all the European manufactur-
ing centers the custom was estab-
lished OF having the motor car maker
provide the chassis alone and the
body maker the body. This custom
has been kept in existence to a large
extent to this day although it forces
the buyer of a car to deal practically
with two Companies instead of one.
Manufacturers in America, both by
choice and the demand Of motor car
users adopted the plan of making the
bodies as well as the chassis. The
business men of America prefer to
make their purchase Of car a sim
gle deal with responsibility for the
car centered IN one concern. Anoth-
er reason for the adoption of this
method was that the manufacturer Of
the chassis, turning out cars in guam
tity, could make bodies at far less
cost than a dozen or a hundred body
manufacturers scattered through all
parts of the country could do the same
work.
AS a consequence of all this the
making OF bodies for his cars forms
a considerable part of the activity OF
the American manufacturer Of motor
vehicles to-day. An instance Of this
is at the Pierce-Arrow plant at Buff
falo. Cast alumni is the material used
IN all Pierce-Arrow bodies construct
ing and trimming buildings at the
Buffalo factory we're transformed into
one structure. one story In height,
they would form a building 60 feet
in width and over one mile long.

Running a road race by oiassiica-

The event was run by piston dis
placement classes and while DeHymel
