Air Races Are Coming.

During the last days Of this
month and the first week Of next,
Cleveland will be the air mecca,
Toward it will tWend the manufac-
turer to show his wares, the in
ventor for new ideas and the I'M
employed pilot for a job. There,
too, will go the thrill seeker look
ing for a startling spectacle, such
as these races furnished last year.
The great airport at Cleveland
il being put in festival garb for
the Nations foremost flying event.
There is much interest concerning
the pilots and planes being
groomed for the racing heats.
Rumor has it that Jimmy Doolit-
tie has secured Laird capable Of
$50 miles an hour. Lee Schoen-
hair says his Laird will do $50.
The Travelair Co. is feverishly fur
nishing its mystery plane, expect
ed to be very fast.
The taciturn Capt. Hawks has
not announced what races he will
enter and Al williams, back from
Europe, where he went TO interest
continental pilots in our races, can
always be depended upon for a
good exhibition.
Despite the much advertised de-
preston and the fact that both
the Army and Navy are out Of rae
ing this year for lack of funds, /
think those who visit Cleveland
will not be disappointed. They'll
see some hotIy contested races,
some thrilling air spectacles.

Increases Safety of Flight.

Increases Safety Of Flight.
The proponents point out that
its remarkably slow landing speed
greatly increases the safety of
fight, and its rapid ascent make
it more practicable for use in con-
gested areas where landing fields
are small and surrounded by OBJ
Structions. The opponents admit
the unusual characteristics of
those now flying, but say that they
are too slow and too small for any
practical use.
I can think of two uses for the
windmill plane even in it's early
stages of development. It should
make an excellent ambulance
plane on account of It's ability to
land near the scene of crashes and
beside hospitals where flying fields
do not exist. Also they should
make good shuttle planes for de-
livering mail and express from air.
ports, generally miles from the
centers Of cities, to downtown
sections. The tops of Office build
ings would suff1ce as a landing
platform for autogiroS.
confess, though, that their
makers and hackers must answer
some questions before I'll feel alb
Solutely safe in one. What hap
pens when one of the frail- looking
paddles breaks? Could it be land
ed safely then? What would the
landing speed be?
Of course, this novel little device
will never be of Importance for
other than sport craft unless it
can be adapted to large multi
engine planes and unless its wind
mill can be folded up and put
away after the take-off to prevent
it from impeding the forward
progress of the plane, and then
brought out again for landings or
emergencies.
All these questions and doubts
are challenges to the inventors
and manufacturers. These gen.
tlemen usually know the answers.
Let us hope they succeed in CIV
ing them, for a really practical
autogiro would solve two Of the
greatest problems in this flying
business-how to get quickly of
the ground and safely back again.

Several hundred applicants for
the Army's Flying School will tell
you that IL does. The Army Air
Corps has three large flying
schools soon to be condensed into
one, which will then become the
largest aviation instruction CEN

training is available anywhere.
These schools admit some 500 can

Parker Must Get Credit.
Is there really any hope that a
satisfactory air trail lies across
those Subarctic spaces? There are
no great centers of population to
be served en- route over such a
course and no great natural re-
sources needing development or
transportation. 1t is more than
likely that future lanes of air COM
merce will swing further south to
avoid the rigors of the northern
climate and connect up with large
cities.
But II the future should prove
this wrong. if great caravans of
men and mail are flown over that
far northern highway tomorrow,
then no small share of the credit
must go to the vision, the courage
and the work Of Parker Cramer.

sidered probable for 1884. Both have
been much discussed throughout the
State. One group of politicians have it
that Gov. Richie again will enter the
gubernatorial race and that Maj. Lee
will be candidate for the United States
Senate in opposition to Senator Colds
borough, Republican, If he decides to
seek reelection.
Another Scheme Suggested,
The other scheme would take Gov.
Richie a candidate for the Senate and
Mr.. Bruce q candidate for the COVER
norship.
Gossip in political circles attribute as
pirations to the Senate to Maj. Lee and
has 1t that Mr.. Bruce would like to be
the chief executive of the State.
Since Gov. Richie and Maj. Lee are
close friends, it is said that Mr.. Bruce
fears that Gov. Ritchie will not oppose
the wishes of his lieutenant in case the
Montgomery County leader is in a po-
sition to command the needed support
for the Senate race. Such an arrange
ment would leave Gov. Richie as a
probable candidate for reelection, with
Mr. Bruce entirely out Of the picture.
Maj. Lee has been a stanch supporter
of the Richie regime, while Mr.. Bruce
during the last State Democratic pri-
mary campaign came out for State SEN
ator Mcintosh, who later withdrew from
the race for Governor.

STATE COLLEGE. Pa. May 19.-The
pipe dreams which flow from snok-

presence of potash and iron.
without these chemicals, 1t is found
at Pennsylvania State College, the
smoke loses its seductiveneSs and the

of the burning qualities of cigar leaf
tobacco are made by DR.. D. E. Haley,

One of his helpers is robot with

'puffs cigars mechanically with the

timing of the puffs. Test tubes ar

Good Cigar Holds Fire.
"A good cigar, when once ignited,
he Gays, will hold fire for many min

with a glow rather than a flame, and
a very high temperature is obtained.
Some cigars do not burn as well as
others, hence considerable quantity
of materials may be distilled rather
