However. the inventor soon explained
what he meant by flying, but he wants
TO have ii expressly understood that he
is not TO be quoted as an authority on
aviation. He SAYS that his work has not
been in the field of flying. nor has he
made anv. experiments with aerial craft
bv which he would be able to judge
wisely on the way 10 navigate the air
Nevertheless. ne has certain ideas OF
how an afrsfip might he built in order

take friend out IN a car. simply sit there
blowing their horn until the friend. who

course. saves trouble for the auto party,
but how about the patience of every one
who lives in that vicinity and who has To
listen to that noise, which occurs often
late at ught2
And talking about the stiu hours Of the
night do the auto drivers try to make as
