will be the largest, strongest and

several months, and its construction
there has been under the str.ctest in
spection and care. II was due to be
taken on the first test flight about
the middle of July, but i; was found
that a new set of wheels had 10 be
obtained. as the original ones had
become weakened from holding up the
weight so long.
Many Features of interest
The Barling abounds in features of
extraordinary interest. First, there is
the middle plane. which gives it the
appearance of being a triplane. In
stead. the ship is tWo-and-one-half
planer, as the middle structure has
not all the functioning powers cf the
lower and upper wings. Its presence,
however, serves to better support the
six 400-horsepower motors placed in
the wings and is used as route for
all engine controls. In addition il has
many technical advantages % inter
est to aeronautical engineers.
Second. il possesses ten wheels in
It's landing gear. Eight are allotted
to two trucks in the normal position
under the lower wing, two of each
truck resting on the ground and two
more in front slightly elevated from
the surface. From undSr the nose OF
the fuselage is another set, suspended
In the air, and which can be lowered
before a landing is made by operation
These two wheels touch the ground
first and absorb much energy in land
ing. The tire measurements are 60
inches by IL inches.
Third. the fuselage. 1t is known as
the semi monocoQue type, is round and
tapers down to the rudder. 1t is SO con-
structed that six inch shells could
penetrate through the tail portion
without impairing the flight. In this
fuselaSe are compartments for carry
ing the bombs, which are dropped
through a trapdoor by the bomber,
who sits on a bicycle-lik contrivance
bomb sight Walkways are construct
ed in this tunnel-like fuselage, en-
abling the crew TO have free access
TO many parts of the ship.
Fourth. provision is made for carry
ing seven guns. which are operated
from several cockpits. There are guns
at the top of the fuselage and two
more that shoot through a hole in
the bottom. The foreward cockpit
also is adaptable to being armed.
Fifth, ii is steered from left to
right by four rudders and fins and
has two sets of stabilizers and elevat-
ing planes. Dual controls are estab-
lished in the pilots cockpit and are
assistant pilot to take charge of ship
while in flight.

cessful flight the l.. w. F. Owl, at

tion at Boiling Field during Shrine

PRESIDENTS PICTURE
CHEERED AT SONG FEST
First Public Portrayal of Mr..
Coolidge Loudly Acclaimed
at Temple Heights.

The picture of President Coolidge
thrown on a screen last night at the
song fest gathering at Temple
Heights under auspices OF Dawson
Lodge, No. 16. F. A. A. NJ, was loudly
accla imed.
1t was the first public portrayal of
the new Presidents likeness since his
succession to office. and with the pail
of death and funeral of the late Chief
Executive, a matter now of history,
the crowd of several thousand was
spontaneous in its demonstra ton.
Patriotic airs, old time favorites
and a few popular selections were
played and sung last night to the
tunes of the Marine Band and a spe-
cial orchestra. The words of the
songs were cast upon a large screen
by a stereopticon. Songs included
"Old Folks at Home "Rosey
O'Grady,' Annie Laurie" and Silver
Threads Among the Gold"
An esthetic dance was given by
the pupils of the Smithson- -Hodgson
School. The American Creed" of
William Tyler Page, was recited.
Several songs were also rendered by
the Mount Vernon Quartette. John
A. Colborn, secretary of Dawson
Lodge, was appointed chairman of the
arrangements by the master of the
lodge, Allen L. Cotton. He also led
in the singing.

we do not encourage farmers to go
into debt; rather, we discourage II.
because too much business is being
conducted on credit now. We are
trying to get the farmer out of debt,
to help him make money"
Explains short Credits.
Gov. Cooper explained the new
short term credits plan, saying it is
the first system devised to bring re-
lief to agriculture by short term
loans He also said that some west
ern wheat growers desire TO finance
the holding in reserve of 1000. 000
bushels in wheat until next year in
order to stimulate prices, but de-
clared that such a plan would be
detrimental to the farmers interests
because of the situation that prob
ably will be created next year when
it might be desired to add to the
reserve surplus.
Talking of the comparatively low
purchasing power OF farmers. Gov.
Cooper asserted the only solution
to the problems is with the farmers
themselves.
Spectators and business men
base their judgment on supply and
demand by studying statistics and
other information which the govern
ment makes available to ALL" he
declared. The farmer can do that,
too, and should"
