DEVICE BALANCES
AiRsHlP PERFECTLY
Wright Brothers Say They Have at

Problem.

New York, Jan. l6.-The Wrigh.
brothers have made the aeroplane
fool proof
The device by means of which an
aviator can fly without concerning
himself in the least about the equili-
brium Of his aeroplane has been prac.
tically perfected and demonstrated
ut Dayton. A. l.. Welsh, one of the
pioneer Wright flyers, announced
conclusively today at the Manhattan
hotel that he had flown craft equip
ped with the device recently for
more than halfhour in stiff wind
with complete success.
II was practically in order to per
feet this automatic stability device
that the Wrights conducted their ex.
periments at Kitty Hawk, N. c., last
fall The successful completion Of
the device is a result that has been
sought for by eXperirenters in every
part of the world ever since ~"
Wrights brought out the aeroplane
II means that any man can step in
a flying machine and pilot it through
the air with as much ease as he can
drive an automobile. The balancing
which has hitherto made good avia.
tors so rare and has made flying so
dangerous is no longer necessary
with the aid of this device. II brings

cally within the range of any ordn-
airy persons capability without in

The device is so small that II can
scarcely be detected even by those
who are familiar with aeroplanes. It
consists of a small steel bar weigh
ing less than four ounces, which hang
projects from under the operators
seat. This pendulum is set so finely
that it responds to the slightest de-
Walton of the aeroplane from the

Washington, Jan. lj.-After Post
