Almost Took Ride Without the
Pilot.

Thursday Orville Dalton, of Mer-
win, came near taking sky trip in
the big airplane all by himself. He
had gotten in the car preparatory to
going up and Lieut.. Montgomery, in
charge OF the plane, had gone to the
front to crank up. As soon as the
engine started the plane started
across the field. After going about
500 feet Mr. Dalton, with rare pres
ence OF mind caught the throttle rod
that passed through his seat and
managed to stop the machine before
any damage was done. The control
of the airplane is somewhat different
from that of an automobile, there be-
ing no clutch. Before cranking the
engine is throttled down so that the
propellors revolve so slowly that
they do not move the machine, but
in this instance in some manner the
throttle had been advanced so that
when the engine started the speed
was SO great that the propellors
caught the air and the machine was
off before the aviator could get in his
seat. 1t was rare piece of luck that
his passenger at that time Mapped to
be man who did not lose his head
or serious accident might have been
the result.

Norfleet & Ream Install New
Fixtures.

For some time the spare parts de-
partment of the Norfleet & Ream
garage has been outgrowing the
space assigned to it, and not long ago
the members OF the firm decided that
they must add some new fixtures to
take care of it. New racks and
drawers were installed just back OF
the office and a great deal of care
and ingenuity was exercised to get as
many parts in as small a space as
possible and still make them instant
ly accessible to the workmen or
salesman. The smaller parts are
kept in tiers of drawers with racks
OH top for the larger and lighter
parts such as tenders, tops, etc.
Lockers along the west wall take
care OF the heavy parts and as there
is but one part to compartment no
time is lost when anything is want
ed. From the 'spart parts depart
ment complete car can be assem-
bled, every part from little cotter
pin to the largest parts OF the engine
and akles is there.
