His conviction, he said, is based
on conditions encountered in his
business. He said:
I'm boom times we are un-
able to get orders for unusual

ROCKET CAR TO BE
CURIOSITY AT FAIR

The only rocket propelled racing
car in the world will be an added
attraction at the Minnesota State Fair
and Northwest Livestock Show, Sep
TENDER to 10, it was announced to-
day by Raymond A. Lee, secretary.
Arrangements have been concluded
with Sig Haugdahl, Minnesota race
driver and four times holder of the
worlds dirt track championship, to
exhibit the rocket car. The speed
creation, developed by Haugdahl after
two and one-half years of expert
mentation, is the first racing vehicle
designed primarily for rocket propul-
sion. 1t was built at a cost of more
than $4,000, and has been proved
successful in recent trials.
Haugdahl's car is equipped with 80
tubes, Is inches long, into which are
packed rockets of special chemical
mixed with gunpowder. The rockets
are ignited by spark gap controlled
from the dash board.
The theory which drives the car is
exactly the same as that which sends
sky-rocket high in the air. The
pressure of the burning chemical and
powder against the air gives the cal
its motive power.
Although Haugdahl has attained a
speed of IS miles an hour in trials
the purpose of bringing the car here
is not to demonstrate speed, but to
give fair visitors an opportunity to
see the newest contribution to the
automobile world.
The car itself is constructed on a
racing chassis, with lines carefully
stream-lined and with a stabilizine
fin at the rear. The propulsion tubes
are of steel especially fabricated to
resist high temperatures.
