PARIS, January 15.-The woodland
cloth-winged airplane seems to be
near the end of it's day, put in the

That is the impression gained from

French builders have used alumni
mum alloys to a great extent for
everything from the sides of the
fusillage to the gasoline tanks, the
struts and even the accessories.
Radial engines, with the cylinders
running out from a central hub like
the spokes of a wheel. were far more
in evidence this year than the more
familiar automobile type, with the
cylinders arranged in one or two
lines. One of the radial engines on
display had fourteen cylinders.
