Two Plane Pioneers Come
Here 20 Years AGO for
Exhibition.
BY SHELDON KEY

Today, just twenty years after
Wilbur Wright, inventor Of the air.
plane. predicted indianapolis would
be an important point on coast to
coast aviation trunk lines, citizens
saw the first New York-Los Angeles
air mail plane swoop down at
Municipal airport.
How the city has marched through
two decades of flying history since
Wilbur Wright made this statement,
is a narrative touched with humor
and enlivened with foresight and
sacrifice. Sacrifice by pioneers who
set out in 1910 to make indianapolis
an air center. 1t was that year that
the indianapolis Motor Speedway
was scene for the first licensed avia-
ton meet ever held in America. The
Wright boys were there.
New Hazardous Amusement
A few days before the Wrights
shipped three planes here from
training quarters at Montgomery,
Ala, newspapers announced that "a
new and hazardous amusement was
to be introduced in the city.
Pilots arrived several days before
the meet to assemble their planes
and as they explained, "accustom
themselves to the Hoosier climatic
conditions"
For months previously, the Wright
fiierS had been doing a lot of flying
at Dayton and Montgomery, Ala,
Among the crew that came for the
meet were such noted pilots as A.
l.. Welsh, Frank Coffyn, w. A.
Brookins and Captain G. L. Bum
baugh, we'll known balloonist.
Orville Wright opened the meet.
June 10, by making two complete
circuits of the speedway at the
startling altitude of seventv-five
feet, increasing his height to 125
feet on the second lap. Only a
handful of spectators attended.
Wind Checks Issued
These had been insured against
"choppy skies" by wind checks which
had been issued by the gateman
along with customary rain checks.
Precautions of the Wright crew
are amusing today.
They looked askance upon taking
off in midday, but waited until
calm twilight, when winds subsidized.
before venturing from the aero
drome.
BY the second day of the meet,
FRANKS of the intrepid fliers had at
tracted a crowd of several thousand
to the speedway. Then Brookin;
announced he would try for the
worlds altitude record.
indianapolis was astounded when
the fearless Brookins scared to an
altitude of 4,3841l4 feet in his crude
craft and remained in the air thirty
minutes and twenty-five seconds.
Startled the World
The news that he had broken
Louis Paulhan'S. previous record of
4,165 feet startled the world. 1t
was unbelievable.
Brookins' plane was the first in
history to reach a point over the
business section of indianapolis.
Compare this with the present
worlds record of 41,7O4 feet.
The Wright brothers equally were
surprised at the feat and while
watching the fight, witnesses say,
'Orve" estimated that "Brookins
must be going forty miles an hour,
a dangerous speed"
From that hour, this city has been
known as an aviation center. When
the municipal airport is completed.
it will be third best in the United
States.

ApVGRTfsEMEHT
A New Era in Clocks

Once upon q time land not so
long ago, either) every housewife
shuddered with pain when any.
thing Of q mechanical nature was
installed in her home. The gas
range was ugly, the radiators we're
ugly. the electric percolator was
ugly, the clock was ugly-every
thing, almost, that had a mod
ern, utilitarian purpose was ugly.
But they aren't any more. Take
the clock, for instance.
Clocks have always been thorn
in the flesh of the interior dec
orator unless he Just doesn't
bother about their "insides" and
places them in a room purely for
their pictorial value. OF course,
there have been many beautiful
clocks that also kept time, but
very, very few Of them within the
reach Of the ordinary household
budget. The net result has been
carloads Of ugly clocks in other
wise handsome rooms. And then,
too, there have been many fetishes
about clocks. The stately grand
father clock must be placed in .
hall or on a stair landing where
no one could see it. A clock must
not be displayed in a dining
room. And so on.
But lately something has hap
pened to clocks. One sees them
In lovely cases, from huge floor
clocks down to dainty little time
keepers for the boudoir. They
may be obtained in authentic
period designs. in simple patterns
to harmonic with almost any
sort of furnishings, and in mod
ern and ultra-modern garb, such
as the brushed silver Modern
ique," designed by the noted Paul
T. Frank. And they are more
accurate than ever and, best of
all, low in price. II
Mechanically, the electric clock
is delight to the housewife be-
cause it requires no more care
than an electric light-not so
much, in fact. for it does not
need to be turned on and off. Il
runs without even a tick to re-
mind you of the ill-favored
crotchetty clock Of the past.
Just plug into any light socket
and once set begins to tell accll-
rate time.

Financial difficulties, stumbling
