CAPRONI KING
OF AVIATORS
Great Italian Inventor Holds
Aero World IN Hollow

At the age of Sc. Gianni Caproni
holds the aerial world in the hol-
low Of his hand. He Is now visit
ing in America apc. was recently a
guest of the Italian Embassy at
Washington.
Caproni was one o; the pioneers
OF aviatory engineering. The Italianl
inventor was scarcely % years old
when his first airpIane started n.y.

Escaped from Austria.
His home is in Trent, and at the
beginning of the war the Austrian
government put a Price on his head.
He. however, escaped into Italy aud

House Of Savoy the benefit of his
genius. ... --s=.~ r .. go. q.
In the first days OF the war, Ca
pronfs 3oo-horsepower bipIane took
the air. 1t was built on the original
conception of three engines and two
fuselages. -. t
As the days of tattIe heightened,
improvement after Improvement

Pilots Side by Side.
One of the Italians latest models
is hydro-triolane. pictured on this
page. 1t is 4 convertible type and
can readily be Transformed into an
airplane.
In the control of Caproni planes,
two pilots always sit side by side.
The double control is a gup antee
of safety. although the Italian in
sists that even Eow flying can be
made as safe as sailing.
In Italy the development Of air
craft las gene on apace. Aerial
routes are already extensively map
ped out.
Airplanes laugh at the frequency
of Italian railroad strikes. Through
out the peninsula air lines are open
ed to freight. mail and travellers.
An imaginative Italian official
dom has made the heavy Caproni

been used to muffle Italy's revolu-
tionary noises.
Like shrieking birds. the air

squares. The din OF the plane

tator.

planes fly exceedingly low and
the crowds nervously recall the law
of gravitation.
Alrplanes have often been usel
to break up Red demonstrations in
the Piazza of the Duomo at'MilarO.
They are targets which cannot be
affected by the verbal fire of the
Milanese Bolsheviki.
Caproni plans to return to Italy
in the late summer. In his work
shop at Taliedo he will experiment

on a new program of aerial inven-
tions.
The Italian is certain that time
Will popularize the airplane.
Even now he cannot understand
the nervous isolation OF the general
public from this means OF locomo-
tion. He believes that the speed, of
American life and business will
eventually make service by air a
necessity here.
Just now all Europe is wondering
at the Indifference of the United
States to aircraft development. At
this moment the airplane industry
in this country is practically a: a

JAMESBURG HAS
CLEANED Up
But Residents Point Out, AC-
ton on Booze Selling Moi
Done by County Officials.

BY Special Correspondent.
JAM ESBURG, oct. 26:--The raid
by the Newark detectives on the
blind tigers" in town Saturday
night seems TO have the desired ef-
feet and instead Of that bravado
that was present among the men
engaged in that traffic, fear has sup
planted the makeup of the men.
That the local authorities mean
business has been demonstrated and
Mayor Elmer Patten has been busy
since the raid receiving the congrat
ulations of the decent people of the
town who have been agtating such
a move. No little criticism of the
county authorities has been heard
for their failure to act instead of
the detective agency.
That the detectives did not secure
the entire stocks of the places raid
cd is the opinion of the persons who
were wise to the conditions. That
cleverness was used by the proprie-
tors in hiding the stocks was shown
at the home of Anthony Golora. A
search of the home revealed but a
small stock but when the searchers
went to the barn large quantity
was found hidden in the manger of
the barn. Stories differ as to the
hiding places but it Is generally
supposed that the men used under
ground storage plants, taking small
quantities as needed.
That men accustomed to sit
around the places and drink and
play cards We've dangerous is shown
in the arrest of Anthony Cebo, who
was found with a loaded revolver in
his pocket while engaged in playing
cards. He has been held for the
grand jury action, charged with car.
rying concealed weapons and is out
on $500 bonds.
