DAYTON. Ohio. October 4.-If you
walk. they'll soon have you flying
in Dayton. Any way to get up in
the air goes here in this cradle of
aviation. where they're continually
working on new contraptions to take
one away from the earth.
Some of the queerest flying ma
chimes yet conceived are to be seen
here. The newest is a cycle plane.
which already has actually been
flown by foot power. w. n. Ger
hardt of the McCook Army Aviation
Experimental Field, the inventor, is
expected shortly to announce impor-
tant developments of new outfit,
which may, one of these days. have
people walking" to work through
the air.
The first foot-propelled airplane
flew and then was wrecked. 1t was
an odd affair, of many planes, pro-
PEELED much as is the common va
riety of bicycle. With recent devel-
opments as yet secret, the machine is
expected to be shown practical for
wider use.
But this cycle rig has to give way
for weirdness to the helicopeter that
almost flew, and as consequence
earned place in the local museum.
1t was built by George De Bothezat.
The idea was to develop a machine
which would go straight up and then
start off in any direction wanted,
thus removing the necessity for a
take-off The helicopeter looks like
a cluster of propellers, face upward,
at each end of what appear to be the
wings of Dutch windmill facing
shyward.
Working In Brooklyn.
De Bothezat now is working in the
Sperry plant, Brooklyn, to perfect a
helicopter that will fly. If found
practical, it would make aviation an
entirely possible backyard affair with
no necessity for large starting fields.
These devices, however, are sur
passed in Immediate interest by the
air fiivvers now assembled at Wilbur
Wright Field. They show how simple
it is for humans to rival birds, now
that they understand the principles

Few Democratic Speeches

Special DISPATCH 10 The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, October Very
few speeches have been made by the
Democrats in the campaign 50 far,
save that in the ninth district where
the campaign has been on for two
months. and there are no speakers an
nounced for the coming month except
that Representative Harrison is show
ing signs of getting into the lighting.
Chairman Byrd of the State Demo-
cratic committee has received profferS
of services by former Gov Davis, who
asks that his speeches be restricted
to the seventh and eighth districts
and the western end of the first dis
trict, thiS request being due to the fact
that Mrs. Davis is not in the best of
health and he prefers to be near his
home at all times. The tender of the
former governor was received with
thanks and the chairmen of the coun-
ties in those districts advised SO that
they may fix whatever dates will be
acceptable to Mr.. Davis and suited to
the times for making addresses to the
voters 1t is known that several 9TH
ers have volunteered.
Activity for La Toilette.
Contrary to all indications and be-
liefs of three months ago. the activ-
ity in behalf of the third ticket in this
State is far more general than was
thought to be possible. The commit
tee here handling the campaign has
been and is working to get the voters
out. They are having meetings and
speeches and are organizing clubs of
men and women.
No one believes that the vote will
really be large, but there are express
SionS among many men of the old
alignment to the effect some of the
principles in the La Follette/platform
are strong and that the time is not
distant when the old parties will have
to reckon with them
The Women'S Democratic Club has
been formally organized here and
headquarters have been opened. The
women are to devote their time and
talents to getting women to study
public affairs, to take an interest in
governmental affairs and especially
to get the women to display an in
terest in the approaching election and
to vote. Women have been conspic-
uous in several elections in the pa
campaigns. and it is believed they
vote in this city and State than the
men have done by appealing to hus-
bands, fathers and friends to get out
and to vote.
If there is any activity among the
Republicans the fact is not known.
The Republican vote in this city is
usally restricted to the officeholding
element.
