building a helicopter which already
has been entered in an international
contest in England next year for
prize OF $4,000, to be given by the
British Air Ministry. the senior Ber-
liner announced today.
The helicopter, which was built by
the Berliners here and has been flown
successfully at College Park for more
than two years, now is in the air

struction embodies the latest i'm

pointed out
The original machine was pro-.
nounced by Army and Navy avia-
tion experts to be far greater than
any vertical-rising aircraft yet pro-
duced in this country 1t was this
encouragement that has spurred
Henry and his father TO greater ef-
fords in the science of helicopter fly
ing.
The new machine should be COM
pleted some time this summer. The
old one has never been flown higher
than fifteen feet by Henry because
his father would not permit him to
reach a greater altitude, but the per-
formance of the craft in many trials
has convinced those Interested that
the machine would be manageable at
greater heights.
The old machine resembles in some
degree an ordinary airplane. 1t has
caSt-off fuselage and two lifting
propellers on each side at the front.
The motor is in the usual place. ON
the tail is a small fitting pro
peller which enables the plane to fly
horizontally after rising vertically
from the ground. The new machine
will be built along the same lines,
but with many improvements.

After Reno Divorce

MACON, August 10. - Lynwood

HIGHWAY SYSTEM NOW.
HAS FINE BRIDGES
$40 Old Structures Have Re
Gently Been Reconstructed
Highway Department States

ATLANTA, August ia total
of LAO bridges, having a length
of over 20 feet, comprise the s.
600 miles of designated state high
ways throughout Georgia, the COM
bined length of these bridges being
100000 lineal feet, according to
figures given the Associated Press
by the State Highway Department.
These figures and facts tend to
show the remarkable progress that
has been accomplished in bridge
construction on the state highway
system since the organization of the
department.
1t is an interesting fact that
since the organization of the Geor-
gia State Highway Department, a
total of $40 of these old bridges
have been reconstructed with a
combined length of 89,815 feet.
Equally interesting is the fact that
were the total length of bridges on
the state highway, placed end to
end, they would constitute an
enormous bridge which would reach
practically from Atlanta to Grit
fin. Then again, if the new bridges
already constructed by the depart
ment, were placed end to end, they
would stretch from this city to
Jonesboro. The new construction
represents practically one half Of
the total length of bridges on the
State Highway System.
For a greater convenience, all OF
this huge amount of construction
work has been divided into projects
and each project has one or more
bridges. Up to August LIST, a total
of 270 projects have been con-
structed which include one or more
bridges each. OF these 270 prof.
ects only concrete or steel bridges
with combined length of 1882
lineal feet. Thirty-eight OF the
projects include one or more tim
Der bridges with the combined
length of 17,483 lneaI feet.
Approximately 80 per cent of all
the bridges constructed by the de-
partment have been of concrete or
steel. A large number of new tim
Der bridges are of concrete material
which will last from twenty to
thirty years. From this it will be
revealed that more than 80 per cent
of the bridge work which has been
constructed by the State Highway
Department can be considered as
considered permanent.
At the present date thirty-two
bridge projects are under cOnstruc-
ton with combined length of 2O,-
OPT lineal feet. Of this total
length 1910 lineal feet is of con-
crete or steel, and 1917 lineal feet
Is of creosoted timber or cypress.
