FRANKFURT, Germany, Oct. l.
a wealthy young Germans dream
81 an airplane propelled by the ex-
plosion of rockets advanced today
to the stage of practical expert
mentation, supported by success
full trial fight
The inventor Of the rocket plane
IS Fritz Won Opel. who risked his
life in a daring attempt to prove q
theory to which he has devoted
himself for more than a year
After two unsuccessful trials, dur
ing which the young experimenter's
hair had been singed by flame, the
motorless airplane shot into the air
with the roar of a cannon. streaked
through the sky and landed roughly
after fight of about six miles.
Plane without Tail
Won Opel, who had demonstrated
with some success in motor cars
that explosions OF rockets could be
used as a propelling force, had eX-
1perimented secretly with Wilhelm
Sander, rocket engineer. for more
than year to find suitable plane
for the application of their theory.
The plane is a short and taillesS
monoplane. resembling a mOtorlesS
land propellerless glider. The pilots
seat is in the front wings above the
Euselage. The Widespread is ap-
oroximately SO feet and the planes
weight 500 pounds.
The rockets. attached to the side
of the fuselage and discharged by
means of fuses in the cockpit, weigh
an additional 100 pounds. The plane
has no undercarriage and is shot
rom rails.
Attains Eighty-yard Altitude
With Won Opel, slapped in an as
stos-covered seat in the cockpit,
az rocket plane was placed on the
,ecial starting rail, and the rockets
ct off. The plane shot into the air
purting flames and dense smoke. 1t
attained an altitude of about eighty
yards.
The experimenter was very en-
thusiastic about the success of the
trial, but explained that he only had
hoped to prove that it was possible
to fly an airplane by rocket power.
Later he hopes to make a fight
across the English channel and at
tempt TO apply the rocket method
of propulsion to practical use.

PROBLEM OF SEWAGE
DISPOSAL CREATED
BY rain SHORTAGE
Flow In Mouse River insufficient
to Garry Away Sewage
From Minot Plant

Although the summers drought has
been the most sever in years, diff
culties encountered by waterworks
systems In the state consist Of dis
posing Of sewage rather than a water
shortage, Robert E. Kennedy. state
engineer. said upon his return from a
trip through the northern and eastern
parts Of the state.
The plant at Minot is one Of the
best in the state. The engineer found,
however. that there wa not sufficient
flow in the Mouse river to dilute the
sewage from the disposal plant. The
situation is rapidly becoming worse,
he said. Attempts to clear up the
odor by chlorination have been only
partly successful.
Above the town Of Minot It was
found there was nc ~perceptible flow
in the river. A slight flow vas found
below. and the engineer believed it
clue to a leak in the Minot dam.
Above Towncr the flow Is again no
ticcable, but not below 1t.
At Devils Lake the water supply Is
low because the lake has gone down.
There is no danger of water famine
at Fargo or Valley City.
