honey in the glass has the best sale,
the preference being for California

the total importations by the United

HAVE MUNICIPAL
AVIATION FIELD
Los Angeles Establishes
Flying Field With
Four Hangers

To stimulate public interest in ae-
rial transportation, the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber company of Califor-
MIA, cooperating with the city of
Los Angeles, CAL, has established
a municipal aviation field at it's new
factory now under construction in
the California city.
Comprising eighty acres, the fly
ing field, loaned by Goodyear to the
municipality, has four hangers for
the accommodation of airplanes and
within the next month an addition
of a complete airship hangar will be
made. 1t is the intention of Los
Angeles officials to have the coast
Wingfoot field open to use by any
planes wishing to land to discharge
or take on passengers, or in the event
that re-fuelling is necessary.
Three-quarters of mile long and
half mile wide, the field will offer
every facility for safe and easy
landings. Although entirely level
and composed of hard ground, al
lowing landings to be made any
where, stretch of fine turf 400 feet
wide, running diagonally across the
field, will assure landings and take
offs under ideal conditions. This
green diagonal will also mark the
field, so that it can easily be dis
tinguished by aviators. Painted
stripes on one of the 1870 foot smoke
stacks of the factory will serve as
a further guide to the filters.
The airship hangar will house any
dirigible landing at the field, but
will especially be used to shelter the
new tractor Pony Blimp" Goodyear
has constructed for commercial pur-
poses and which will be shown for
the first time at the San Francisco
aero show in April. 1t is probable
that this ship will be taken to Los
Angeles after the show and several |
flightes made.
Los Angeles officials believe the
new Wingfoot field will be widely
used by filters, as there is great &C
tivity in aeronautics on the coast. 1t !
is probable that fuelling facilities
and aviation mechanics will be sup
piled eventually |

RESCUE NOTED CAR
FROM SCRAP HEAP
First Ford Number 999
Is Owned by Frisco
Sportsman

San Francisco.-An exhibit of un-
usual interest at the recent auto
mobile show here was the once ia
nous 1899" racing car, the cham
pion of the world nearly twenty
years ago, and the first car to cover
circular track mile in less than
minute.
This car was really the first Ford,
being designed and built in 1903 by
Henry Ford and Harold Wills. Ford
secured Barney Oldfield, then pro-
fessional cyclist, to drive the car. .
On the foundation laid by the
1903 and 1904 campaign of this car
both men rose to fame and fortune.
Mr.. Ford founded the Ford Motor
company and became the worlds mo-
tor king. Mr.. Oldfield became sim
ilarly supreme in the field of motor
speed and now is also a manufactur-
er, being president of the Oldfield
Tire company, with an annual output
worth many millions.
When the Ford Oldfield partner
ship was dissolved in 1905 the old
speed chariot drifted to California
and lay for many years forgotten
in private garage at Venice. 1t
was discovered and bought by w. L.
Hughson, San Francisco sportsman
and motor car merchant, who placed
it in running order and is using it
as medium of publicity.
AS an example of early designing
the "999" is unquestionably an in
teresting exhibit. 1t has no crank
case, no magnetic, no carburetor, no
transmission and no differential. Its
four immense cylinders dwarf those |
of modern cars. But it is as fast |
as ever and, on straightaway would |
be able to give an excellent account
of itself for from one to five miles,
against even the light handsome
speedsters of the present day.
