METAL HULL IS
USED IN PLANE
New Commercial Flying Boat
is Having Successful Trial
Flights at Keyport

KEYPORT, Sept. PA new COM
mercial flying boat with a metal hull
is completing successful trial flights
at the Aeromarine Plane and Motor
companys' plant here, where it was
designed and built under the super
vision of Paul G.. Zimmerman, Sr.,
engineer in charge.
The metal construction marks the
same progress in aeronautics that
marked steel cars on the railroads,
in place of wooden ones. Mr.. Zim-
hermann says that hereafter new
flying craft will be made of metal
principally because weather condi-
tions will not affect it as it does
wooden structures and also because
it can be produced in quantities more
economically than wood.
Secretary of the Navy DENLY and
other officials were particularly inn
pressed with the new aircraft when
they enjoyed a flight some days ago
and due to the improved hull and
wings thirteen persons including the
pilot and mechanic can make the
trip at one time.
The maximum speed is 104 miles
an hour and the new plane may
climb to the height of $4,000 feet.
Another interesting feature of the
newly designed flying boat is that 1t
may leave the water within twenty
five seconds after the start is made.
Although several flights have been
made from the local plant the past
week 1t was not generally known
that a newly designed plane was be-
ing tested and special interest will be
taken by the people of the borough
in the flights hereafter as for some
time past there has been consider
able speculation among those who
are interested in aeronautics as to
whether a metal hull on aircraft
would be practical.
The successful tests of the past
have proved conclusively that
the new plane is in every way a
success, as its performance equals.
If not surpasses that of most land
machines.

PUBLIC OPINION
NJ ELECTION

Editor Evening News:
We all know tomorrow is primary
election day, the time. to choose our
candidates. There are some candi-
dates that have held office for a
number of years who. of course, do
not want to leave a good thing. Our
taxes have been going up year after
after yea while these gentlemen
have been in office. Whenever they
do not want to do any improvement
on the roads OF anything else that
may come under their charge, they
simply say, 1--WE have no money to
do it with" 1 simply ask, where
does the money go to that we pay
twice a year?
1 live in Woodbridge avenue, near
Nixon. This avenue was macadam-
lied about fifteen years ago ind
nothing has been done on it since.
Not because we have not been after
them to do something, but now, just
before election, they send three
steam rollers and tear up the road,
but they say they have no money to
fix 1t with. Before it was all holes
but now 1t is one big hole from one
end to the other, so I mink that we
taxpayers should do something at
election to show their hypocrisy in
this matter, as we have nothing to
say after election as to where u
money goes.
This is my opinion in this matter.

this number 635 are located in the

Republican. particles urge that voters
cast their ballots early, especially the
women, SO the usual grand rush just
prior to the closing of the polls may

MY NOVEL
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

Really the most important thing in
life Is to make IL interesting.
The effort to make life interesting
explains most of the things we do;
why we work; why we play, why we
marry and why we get divorced. why
we go abroad, why we save money
and why We spend it: in short, this
accounts for all our goings out and
comings in. our downsittings and
our uprisings.
i met a young man the other day
who was more intriguing than the
author Of any famous novel. He was

happened to him as something that
happened to his hero. Therefore his
own career amused and absorbed

igion or even faulty. At bottom all
these things amount to the business
of using ones imagination to i'm
prove the taste Of life.
You see. l am considering my life
as story. and myself as the hero.
There IL no deception about that. for
there Is certainly no story In the
world as interesting to me as my
own.
Everything that happens that
makes any notable change in my life.
In fact, every incident that reminds

MY wife and l have great fun
