AUTO-PIANO LATEST
OF TRAVEL DEVICES
Inventor Has Car Which Prom
ises Comfort and Con-
venience.

Last spring the hydro-autoboat, the
amphibious thing that Travelled on
land and water, created nationwide
discussion. But its production was
merely experimental. d.
Now comes Glenn Curtiss with an
auto-piano, which will be built for a
definite market, and in quantities.
The autoplane, as its name indi-
land or over 1t.
Besides these qualifications, 1t is a
comfortable, luxurious equipage, a
real car-fitted with every conven-
ience conceivable.
The lines, of course, are modified
somewhat, air resistance entering into
the body design and to a large extent
debating 1t. But the body is that OF
a motor car, with a Limousine top.
Sounds New Era Note.
While the writer's opinion of the
new car is at some variance with that
of Bert Brown, New York's clevefest
aircraft editor, who comments that 1t
is adapted to the purpose OF Fifth
avenue shopping" unQuestionably 1t
sounds the note of a newer era In
motoring.
The plane Is impossible, of course,
for town use. The best driver in
the world could not keep out of
trouble even IL his planes covered
total width considerably less than
the thirty feet of their present span.
But it is a beginning.
The car is thoroughly practical for
both air and land use. Land use
implies, naturally, a space for its
travel sufficiently. wide to permit the
range of its planes.
The windows are OF ceIluloid, and,
as in automobile practice, the motor
is located in the forward part OF the
body, with the Transmission, dfheren-
tfaI, and drive shaft of the automo-
bile underneath, and the propeller
drive located at the top, in back OF
the carr
The car is capable of forty-hve
miles an hour on the surface, and at
greater speed than this rises. In air
the reports of its speed are varied.
Its speed aloft is somewhere between
sixty-fve and seventy-five miles an
hour.
The four wheels are sprung on con-
cealed rubber shock absorbers-
Motor is 1OO-hOrsepower "OXX." a
Curtiss product, capable of 400 revo-
Iutions per minute. The radiator is
circular in form, and the fuel tank,
located at center of gravity, has a ca
pacity of thirty gallons.
CurtIss' plant at Buffalo Is really
plant, and not an experimental sta
tion.
VIII He Common sight.
Photographs OF its interior show
rows on rows OF planes. hundreds OF
engines and motors in the same array
one finds bodies and frames and en-
gines and motors at automobile fac
tories.
The day of the plane Is here.
It is not coming"
Its practicability is established; its
future is as assured as that OF the
automobile.
1t lives in the present. 1t is not a
promise. Hundreds of men and wom-
en- throughout the country are buying
them. and IL will not be long before
the sight of a plane shooting across
the sky overhead will occasion mere
ly a casual glance and the remark
that's a Curtiss military tractor" or
"a Wright biplane speedster."

COSTS $12O TO.GURE
CASE OF HICCOUGHS
Tonquin Musk Effective, and
Offers of "Remedies" Come
Too Late.

NEW YORK, March 24-The appeal
of DIR. William II. Nammack, OF far
Rockaway, for a remedy for nc
coughs resulted in an avalanche OF
"cures" reaching him, but they were
too late to be tried on the patient,
James McCabe, who already had be-
gun to be relieved by the administra-
tion of Tonquin musk.
Mr., McCabe, sixty-five years old,
formerly chief clerk OF the city mag
istrates courts, had hiccoughed so
long in his home in Far Rockaway,
that IL was feared death would result
All the remedies mentioned in medical
books and various home remedies,
such as making the patient take nine
swallows of water without breathing
had been tried.
Finally a consultation. of noted
physicians was called and their con-
census was that Tonquin musk should
be administered in doses of one grain
each. That sounds simple enough, but
Tonquin musk costs So grain and
II the treatment was to be protracted
DR.. Nammack saw a depicting of the
family purse.
Twenty.four Grains Cure.
Therefore, he said he would well
come news of any less expensive rem
ely, but at once began to administer
the expensive extract of gland of
rare muskox native to Indo-Chino.
After twenty-four grains, costing
S12O, had been administered. Mr.. Nc
Cabe began to get relief and the hic-
coughs had passed entirely. DR.. Nam
mack said his patient undoubtedly
was cured.
A telegram to the physician from a
man in Syracuse suggested that Mr..
McCabe be subjected to a sudden and
great fright. "Have several men in
his bedroom begin to fight with guns
and knives" the letter stated. "In
the hight have someone discharge a
pistol right back of the patients ear,
when he is not expecting II. and then
set fire to part of the house, making
much black smoke and have his wife
or a child cry to be rescued. He will
rescue and then he will be cured of
hiccoughs.
The man who sent that telegram
really wished to do good service to
a stranger. for he paid $3.50 telegraph
toll to send it.
Suggests Eating Ice Cream.
A man In Monroe sent the following
telegram:
MY father was cured OF hiccoughs
by sucking pineapples."
A mOtherly woman in Brooklyn. sent
this: MY children are always cured
Of hiccoughs by eating vanilla ice
cream"
Have the patient sit in a chair,
lean the head back and pour water
through the nose while you hold your
finger in his windpipe,F Kingston
man telegraphed.
Make him drink nine swallows Of
water without stopping while there is
very hot mustard plaster on his
chest" telephoned BROOKLYN woman.

SILK RIBBON HAULS AUTO
Franklin Car Demonstration at st.
Louis Show Proves Unique.

What can be obtained In the way
OF easy rolling in a motor car was
shown by one exhibitor at the recent
automobile show at st. Louis, by
means of an unique demonstration.
A narrow silk ribbon, which looked
very inadequate for the strain or
pulling an automobile, was attached
to the lamp brackets OF a Franklin
touring car. A small spring scale
was hooked into the ribbon so that,
by pulling through the scale, the
force exerted to start the car and
keep 1t rolling was shown on the
scale in pounds.
Repeated demonstrations showed
that an average pull, OF twentyiour
bounds started the 2,2sO-pound car,
and that only ten to fifteen. pounds
pull was necessary to keep it in mo

pIoyes Purchase Shares.

More than 1000 employees Of the
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company,

the stock distribution plan which
brought shares of the company's
stock within reach OF the humblest
employe.

ployes could hold stock on equal
basis with that held by the executives
of the corporation.

AMERICAN AVIATOR
VANISHES IN BATTLE
Sergt. ]. R. Mcdonnell, Well
Known Here, Last Seen In
Combat With Germans.

PARIS, March PA report current
for the last three days that Sergt. ].
r. Mcconnell, an American aviator
with the French army, is missing, has
been confirmed. When last seen ne
was in battle with two big German
airplanes.
Mcconnell and Edmund Genet, an
other American, went out Monday
over the lines OF the retreating Ger
man army, Mcconnell flying lower
than Genet. They met two two-seated
German machines, and the Americans
attacked. Genet was slightly wound
ed in the face and as the blood ran
into his eyes he was forced to turn
about.
Nothing has been heard Of McCon-
nell since. 1t is hoped he has landed
and been taken prisoner. French ma
chimes sent out to see II the remains
of his plane were visible reported that
they could not see them. 1t is hoped
that German aviators will drop the
news OF McConnelPs fate on the
French lines, as the airmen of each
side usually do.
Tells OF Narrow Escape.
In a letter received yesterday from
Mcconnell, written Saturday, the
American aviator told of a narrow
escape on the previous day.
Five American aviators OF the La
fayette escadrille, of whom McCon-
nell was one, flew twenty-four miles
within the German lines, observing
the villages burning in the area the
enemy was evacuating.
The Americans were flying low,
under 5000 feet. and the German ma
chine guns opened fire, using lumin-
Gus bullets.
Mcconnell said: "I could see them
passing my plane like Jet OF water
sparkling in the sunlight"
Mcconnell got into a sharp fight
with two German machines in which
they managed to signal his range to
their anti-craft batteries and duck
away to escape the shrapnel. Shrap-
mel burst all around Mcconnell, who
escaped untouched.
Astray In Air Lanes.
Two Americans, Hoskier and Ge-
net. almost were in at the death Of
the German Zeppelin that was
brought down at Compeigne. They
were misdirected' and steered north
instead of south.
{. The American got lost, as they
reached a part of the country not
covered by their maps, and landed
thirty miles away. As they were four
hours override the escadrille feared
they were lost until they returned.
"
sergt. J. r. Mcconnell Is a son OF
Judge s. y. Mcconnell, OF Carthage,
N. c.. president of the Randolph and
Cumberland railroad. He is a gradu-
ate of the University of Virginia, had
many friends here, and at the time
OF his departure for France in the
fall of 1914 was industrial agent for
the railroad.

(By Review Leased wire).

NEW YORK, June 7.-Subject to persistent profit taking which became too strong in the later dealings to be ignored. today's extremely active mar ket registered further general ad- vances, especially among industrials. The trading was of such exceptional breadth as to heighten the impression of growing public participation.
 United States Steel maintained its leadership. rising 2A to 134ls, this being equal, adding recent dividends of AZ per cent. to 1888. and exceed ing it's previous maximum by 1% points. Steers contribution to the days hugs total of 1.320,000 shares was fully 25 per cent. Rails failed to throw off their recent lethargy, ex- cept for realtive strength in the Paci- fics. and a few other issues.
 A new low record of 25 for Russian exchange, concurrent with further heaviness of Russian government bonds. excited little interest, rubles improving slightly in the latter part of the session. Coppers were notably high.
 Heavy buying of Anglo-French 5's at slight advance featured the bond market. Total sales, par value $3,- S75O00.
 U. s. registered 4's were & per cent lower on call.

CHICAGO GRAINS.

CHICAGO, June 7.-Notwithstand- ing that the corn market continued to show remarkable activity today, sen sational advances in prices received a decided check Prospects of warmer weather and of consequent better field conditions for the growing crop did a good deal to ease down values. The close was heavy at the same as yes terday's finish to three cents lower, with July at 153H to 1531s. and Sep temher at 142% to 143. Wheat closed unsettled at F. net decline to cents advance. with July at 222ik ard Sep temher at 195 Oats lost < to 1K. The outcome in provisions ranged from off to a rise of 711.
 Bulls were handicapped by numer- ous reports that country offerings of cash corn had become enlarged over night to a material extent and that shippers and industries had made lib- eral purchases.
 ment crop report tomorrow would prove bearish contended against the buying side of the wheat market. Gen eral execution was that the winter crop would be about 3S0,0O0,O00 bush els.
 Oats sagged owing largely to pre- dictions that the government report tomorrow would be bearish on oats as well as wheat.
 Provisions were quiet and irregular.
