inventor of the wild pats separator,
has left Fargo for Washington to

his new plane will make a p%erpendic-
hlar ascent and that II his invention
is' accepted no run will be needed to

facts, Mr. Holland has nothing to say.

before government authorities they
will say the amount of publicity which
the invention should have" said Mr..
