MOTOR GLIDERS SHOW
NEW ERA In AVIATION
Small Airplanes Are Fast Becoming
Common and Practical Thing In
England and France

London, July 27.--A new era in air
flying, that of cheap, safe, popular
airplaning, Is foreshadowed by the
remarkable success attained by tiny
British airplanes called motor elders.
One of these, small monoplane fit
ted with a three horsepower engine,
recently reached speed of So miles
an hour during tests near London. 1t
climbed to 1850 feet, and although
in the air for an hour and twenty
minutes consumed less than a gallon
of petrol.
French aviation experts also are
perfecting similar "pocket-planes," in
tended for use by amateur aviators
and sporting enthusiasts. At con-
test soon to be held near Paris thirty
Of these diminutive planes will take
part. In England q small car with
wings" capable of carrying it's owner
through the air at the speed of an
express train with no more power
than is required by a motorcycle, has
reached such a. practical stage that
orders are being booked for it by
the public.
Rising out or small fields and being
wonderfully controllable in the air,
these cheaply-run winged cars are to
be made to alight so slowly that the
risk of crash on landing, ven under
adverse circumstances, will be prac-
tically eliminated. Furthermore, such
machines will be so handy on the
ground, and their wings will fold so
neatly, that it will be possible to
house them in ordinary motor gar
ages.
1t is expected that the owner Of one
of these machines will be able to make
the trip from London to Paris and
back, sweeping high over the channel
and escaping all the irritations and
delays of earth transport, for about
IS. A movement is now on foot to get
motor garage proprietors to set aside
smooth surfaced fields, marked clear
ly so they can be seen from above.
In this way the drivers of little "air
cars" when on weekend aerial ram
bles, will have points all over the
country where they can descend and
replenish their gasoline tanks, or
make any necessary repairs or ad-
justments.

VOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

He was still standing in the SAINT
position when the boy came in with
the lamp. Brabazon, squaring hi
broad shoulders, uncorked the bottle
He poured himself out stiff tot.
He was gazing at an arrow, with 6
fine metatl barb, its butt-end split tt
admit long, narrow strip of paste,
board. On the side toward Braba'
Eon was bright yellow surface, or.
namented with series of blaci
circles. He crossed the veranda ant
plucked the thing from the woodwork
The boy was slipping past him but
the planters hand shot out and
swung him round to face him. He
held the symbol almost under the
creatures nose,
What do you know of the Yellow
Severn" he demanded roughly.
The Chinaman shivered.
Nothing, tuan," he stammered
fearfully.
Brabazon stuck his legs wide apart
and nodded his head several times. a
grim smile playing on his lips
"Bi-la," he said presently. Clear
out!"
Mindful of Pennington's warning
and with an uneasy feeling gripping
his spine, he sent a Waterman with
an urgent note to Wallace--one of his
juniors, requesting him to join him
immediately-and he prepared to stop
the night. While waiting for the re-
turn of the messenger, he scrubbed a
note to Pennington and enclosed with
1t the Yellow Seven.
Dear PENN" he wrote. II have
just received the enclosed per arrow
post. I'm not particularly scared at
things I understand, but this has come
as somewhat of shock.
Cheerio. G. Brabazon."
Wallace genial youth with sandy
hair and freckled face-arrived at
the foot of the veranda steps at about
nine, followed by coolie carrying a
long bamboo pole with a basket of
clothes suspended at one end and a
pair of field-boots at the other. He
was accompanied, moreover, by
large hound, short haired and bolster
Gus.
Evening, Brabazon! Don't mind
me bringing my dog, hope? What's
in the wind?"
He dropped into a chair and de-
posted hat and stick on the floor.
Help yourself to drink" invited
Brabazon. ITO tell you the truth,
I'm glad you've trotted that name
less beast along. Some hungry
Chinaman or other purloined my fox
TERROR week ago." He released the
glass stopper of bottle or soda
water and handed it across to Wal
lace. You remember the Allison af-
fair, of course. 1t appears that his
assassination was by no means an or
binary act of highway robbery, but
the deliberately connived portion of
an extensive campaign Unanswered

good reason to believe that an attempt

Wallace drew his chair closer and |

There are contests galore. This
condition augurs well for a big vote,

1t may be that the four candidates
running in the city have done suffi-

larger vote than seems prospective.
This same surface indication would
seem to forecast heavier vote at

than at the primary, despite the fact
that opposition to the democratic
candidates is not looked for at the
election.
The vote on the referendum as to
the future policy of financing the
state highways-for or against the

believed a larger vote than normal
for such an election.

$4,000 FIRE HITS
BEACH
Dancing Pavilion and Long
Row of Boardwalk Con-
cessions Destroyed.

Fire which started between 8 and 6
o'clock yesterday morning laid waste
to the big dancing pavilion and a
long row of concession booths on the
boardwalk at Chesapeake Beach.
Only the continuance of the south
west wind and quick work on the
part OF a volunteer bucket brigade
prevented the flames from sweeping
completely the boardwalk. The dam
age is estimated at $4,000.
Starting in the old Frank Cafe,
which adjoined the dance pavilion.
the flames swept with great rapidity
along the boardwalk, a part of which
was destroyed, and soon enveloped
the dance pavilion and Japanese cafe
adjoining. An overheated coal oil
stove in the cafe Is thought to have
been the cause OF the fire.
The spread OF the fire and extended
loss was due to the inefficiency OF the
nre apparatus installed by the Bust
ness Mems Association of the beach,
was after an Intellectual attempt TO
utilize this that bucket brigade was
formed. gasoline engine was
pressed into service and water from
the bay was thrown on the burning
structures.

concessionaires, both of Washington.
suffered the greatest individual losses,
their booths being destroyed. Some
of the money OF the first named, how
ever. was found in the water under
his booth after the fire.
The scenic railway seemed doomed
until the work of the bucket brigade
stayed the sweep Of the flames.
Reports that one of the city's most
popular resorts had been destroyed
by fire did not deter thousands Of
pleasure seekers from visiting the
beach during the day and night. and
In order that their enjoyment would
not be wholly ruined the, big

the restaurants and lunchrooms not
reached by the flames were doing a
big business.
Last spring the Hotel Belvedere
was wiped out by flames and, owing
to the close approach Of the reg

Plan Boardwalk Repair.
Plans were made last night to i'm
mediate1y repair the damaged board
walk and replace the burned build
ings with new structures.
Announcement was made later by
the Chesapeake Beach Railway Com
