PERMANENT HANGARS
TO SOON BE USED

One of the three permanent han
gars which are now under construc-
ton at the flying school is practically
completed, and will probably be used
when the new Sturtevants arrive. The
hangers are constructed of steel and
sheet metal, and each houses six ma
chimes. They are built along the
shore in place of the dozen or more
canvas tents which formerly served
as hangers for the planes.
Work at the various points in the
reservation has been greatly facili-
tated by the recent purchase of a
small steam engine for switching
freight cars from one point to an
other. This work was formerly done
by large motor trucks, where the
roadbed and the tracks ran parallel,
but this method proved inefficient
with the increase in building at the
yard.
The work on the floating dirigibIe
hangar is progressing slowly, but is
not being pushed, as it is understood
that the dirigible has been held up
on the factory tests, and is not vet
ready for shipment.

WINDS
CAUSE DISAPPOINTMENT
FREE BALLOON TESTS

The trial flights with the free bal
loon were not held at the flying
school Wednesday as the wind was
not in the right quarter to insure
safe manipulation. A steady wind
from the southeast, which was blow
ing over the bay, would have carried
the loosed craft far back into the
mainland, off beyond into the gulf.
In either case the aviator could not
have been reached easily by the motor
truck or by boat, and it was decided
best to wait for more favorable con-
ditions.
Everything is in readiness for the
trial, and it is only question of wind
direction that is now staying opera
tions.
Control experiments We're contin-
ued with the Sturtevant tractor by
Lieutenants Mcdonnell and Whiting
Wednesday, and occupied the greater
part of the morning maneuvers. i
is understood that the new device
which places the steering rudders
under the foot control instead of the
hands is very satisfactory, and viii
probably be standard equipment, as
on foreign machines.
