Ora Smalley returned home from
Philadelphia Friday, where he went
about six weeks previously to build
life preserver to an aeroplane. He
says that the invention came to him
in a dream about year ago, and he
went east to have the model con-
structed- The invention is to be at
tached to an aeroplane so that when
the engine stops the airship can be
kept from dishing to the ground
by having wings spread to make the
machine descend slowly. The attach
ment is about so by 12O feet and is
operated from the drivers seat Ora
Smalley says that he went up into
the air 5000 feet, where the engine
was shut off and the plane turned
down, and his invention put into op-
Grafton so that it took them three
hours to reach the ground. Ora says
that he had sold 40 per cent in the in
vention to the company for making it,
but still retains 81 per cent. He was
offered $4,000 for his share, but re-
fused to sell it.
