safety in air transportation, was made
to-day by Orville Wright The inventor
has convinced himself that the new

tests and is preparing to apply for
patents.
The contrivance consists of an ar.

located directly over the pilots head
The action of the propeller responding
to the automatically operating stabilizer
serves to balance the machine. Through
the same effect the machine is banked :

BILLINGS LAND BOUGHT
BY JOHN D. JR. IS REPORT
RumOr Has 1t Property Is to
Be Given to City for
Park.

1t was reported in real estate circles
yesterday on apparently reliable au-
thorty that John ID. Rockefeller. Jr.. was
the recent purchaser Of the C. X. G.
Billings, Hays and Shaefer estates of
about fifty-seven acres on upper River
side Drive. The property is valued at
$5,000.000 and at the time the purchase
was made a few days ago there was
much mystery concerning the identity Of
the buyer and the use to which the land
was to be put
The latter question appears to be an
swered by the rumor that Mr.. Rookie
feller proposes eventually to give the
tract to the city of New York for park
purposes Ivy Ledbetter Lee, the junior
Rockefeller's personal representative, re-
fused last night to confirm or deny the
seemingly well authenticated story of the
big purchase and its purpose. 1t was
learned. however. that preparations are
under way to convert the estates into
a park.
The Billings tract. which Is assessed
at $1,240.O00 for purposes OF taxation,
has about $50 lots, and there are 52S
in the Hays and Shaefer properties.

 1t will be remembered that Deeem-
 Der 4th, 1916. was set aside by the
 great Studebaker dealers organiZa-
 ton throughout the United States as prominent buyers day. On that day
 every Stakeholder dealer, q few hours after the announcement of the new Series IS cars, set out to sell some prominent man in his community Ne> CT in the history of the motor car industry was there ever undertaken 6 more stupendous sales drive-and never has there been recorded such tremendous response in so short a space of time.

No piece of automobile sales literature has ever offered a stronger appeal to an automobile prospect. It is, without doubt, the most convincing proof of motor cars popularity and leadership ever published.
