Lived in Sod Home

During the many years they have
resided in the Medina community,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher have been active
in community and church affairs and
have seen many changes. Mr.. Fisher
was treasurer OF the local township
for 10 years. The first few acres Of
the homestead were turned over with
one OK and one mule. Mrs. Fisher
operated the pillow while the team was
led by her husband. The grain was
planted by hand. The winters were
very cold and heating fuel was scarce.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher took turns at
twisting the prairie hay which was
used for fuel. Tallow was used for
lighting. The first home built for
this family was made with rock and
sod.
Despite their advanced years. both
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher are hale and
hearty. Mr.. Fisher is 70 years Of age,
and Mrs. Fisher is II.

Looming Takes Post.
Grover c. Looming, pioneer airplane
designer and manufacturer, has ac-
cepted Craftsmanship Of the important
American Engineering Council Com
mittee on Aeronautics. He will take
charge Of campaign to encourage
civil aviation, promote research and
to sponsor larger and better ai7ports,
speeding of air services and co-ordi-
nation of Federal and local aviation
activities.
The development of metropolitan
airports will be especially stressed and
the committee Is expected to take an
active part in the campaign for
establishment of a suitable airport for
the National Capital
Looming built and flew the first
flying boat in 1911. He invented the
first monoplane rigid d-braced pursuit
airplane in 1914, when he was chief
aeronautical engineer for the Army.
He also is credited with having in
troduced steel construction into the
airplane industry.
Publishes History.
The author of many aeronautical
books and articles, Looming during the
past week published a new aero
nautical history, Our Wings Grow
Faster" 1t is the record Of a lifetime
in aviation from the viewpoint of
man who always has been on the
inside in the industry.
The future Of aviation, Looming
contends in his book, lies in speed
and, while it may bring accidents in
its wake, it is basically the sound ano
correct element.
He relates anecdotes of the I'M
portant events in aviation and the
people connected with it. He tells the
inside story of many Investigations OF
the aviation industry, anG of other
aviation events. including the tale Of
the controversy between the Wright
brothers and the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
OF Admiral Richard E. Byrd.
Looming says his real talent is that
of a promoter" Byrd, he says, has
the showman's instinct, a real pub
licity sense, not exactly political, just
timely"
II don't believe" he says, shat he
is a self-seeker His presentation OF
self is just good showmanship. The
expeditions he organizes are well done.
He picks good men, does a great deal
of work himself, thinks of all the de-
tails, checks up on everybody. and is
persuasive, pleasant, Virginia gen.
tleman, imbued with an exploration
mission in life, with the left eye
slightly cooked on the profit. I en-
joyed every minute with him and
liked him a lot"
Looming says OF Gen. william
Mitchell, former stormy petrol Of the
Air Corps, that he weakens his status
because he does not fly. The Mitchell
idea of a united air force. Looming
says with brutal frankness, seems
sillier as the years go on"
What is happening in air arma-
ments." Looming says, ''is much
bigger than even the Mitchells real
lied. An army, like a navy. mus
practically be an air force, and in.
stead of taking away air operation
from the Army, we will see an armys
entire work predicated on air oper-
ations, in attack, and even in ali
transport. Mitchell does not g.

by the Bureau of Air Commerce in
connection with its program Of spon-
soring the development Of types Of
aircraft suitable for use by the aver
age citizen.
Pitcairn, with characteristic mod
esty, emphasized that the craft still
is in the experimental stage and
that it is premature to say when
models can be placed on the COM
mercial market He also stressed the
fact that the fundamental principles
which make the new machine pos
sible are due ito the genius Of young
Juan de la Cierva, Spanish mathema-
tician and scientist
The basic Improvements, he said,
include the lump take-off," which
has not yet been shown to the public,
and the direct control principle gov
erning the design of the "wingless
autogiro, which has been demonstrated
in Washington. The new machine
essentially is wingless autogiro, en-
bodying the Jump take-off" and a
mechanism for propelling it along the
highway like an automobile.
Will Widen Life Scope.
"By combining folding rotor blades
and a simple road drive mechanism
with the ability to rise and descend
in practically vertical line" Pitcairn
said, I'VE believe we have evolved the
prototype Of q machine that will sub
stantially widen the scope of work
aday business and social life. This
will, Of course, only occur if and when
large-scale production makes low
prices possible, but there is no rea-
son why that condition should not
eventually hold true.
While the machine as whole will
be new and somewhat radical, each
Of the features in its design has been
carefully tested or has now reached
the point where its success is beyond
reasonable doubt. We can already
fold the blades so that the machine
can be housed in a space about the
size of a one-car garage; the prin-
ciple of direct control, which i'm
mensely simplifies flying, has been
thoroughly tested; vertical descent has
been an accomplished fact for some
time"
The first of the machines will be
built around an engine within the
automobile horsepower range and
gasoline mileage in the air is expected
to be around 20 miles to the gallon
at cruising speed of about 100 miles
per hour. The road drive mechanism
in the first models will be kept as

The Hammond-Y model, rs OF
which will be purchased if the first
is successful, is undergoing the man
ufacturer's flight test. Some modifica-
ton work probably will result from
these tests and then the ship must
face the far more rigid Department
of Commerce approved type certificate
engineering flight tests. Should 1t
meet the requirements in these tests
1t will undergo still further tests with
a view to possible Improvements and
then, if all has gone well, the con-
tract for the "a remaining ships will
be filled.
One Type Is Tailless.
The Waterman tailless airplane,
with three landing wheels, also is
nearing completion in California and
is due to fly its manufacturers tests
about the middle of the coming week.
At Marshall. Mo. the Fahlin air
plane, built around the Plymouth au-
tomobile engine, has been flown and
now is back in the factory for some
changes in the ailerons. This air.
plane is of a more nearly conventional
type, intended to meet the demand
for a small inexpensive airplane.

spects one of the most advanced of
them all, is about 80 per cent COM

cooled engine to the Continental Mo-
tors Corp. of Detroit. 1t will be only
20 inches in diameter and will oper-
ate on the two-stroke cycle, which
gives a power impulse from each
cylinder on each revolution. The en-
gine, with its six cylinders, therefore
will have as many explosions per revo-
luton as a 12-cylinder conventional
four stroke cycle engine. Following
automobile practice, the engine will
operate at very high speed. A test
cylinder is to be ready by July.
To Have Basic Units.
The new autogiro-automobile has
been officially described for the first
time during the last few days by its
producer, Harold F. Pitcairn, as new
and somewhat radical" but as COM
posed Of basic units all of which have
been tested and found successful.

Germany during 1895. A most hos
pitable welcome awaits them in my
country
Outlining the terms of the agree
ment, Thomas P. Henry, president of
the A. A. A.. said the A. A. A. Foreign
Travel Division, under the direction of
the German consulate general, will
issue the required driving permits, cir
culation certificates and German in
ternational license plates. He con-
tinued:
Agreements already worked out by
the A. A. A. with foreign governments
and foreign motor clubs make it pos
sible for motorists to obtain customs
documents prior to departure and
cross borders with a minimum of red
tape. The arrangements with Ger
many and Italy are further steps in
facilitating travel by motor in foreign
lands.
Ability to secure both customs
papers and driving credentials before
leaving their home shores gives motor
lists certainty of freedom from any
annoying waits after their vacation
has begun because of possible delays
in receiving their motoring permits
and papers.
Motor touring to distant countries
now is easier and more pleasant than
ever before and the facility of this
type of travel, as we'll as the reduced
rates now in effect, has caused a re-
markable increase in the number of
cars shipped abroad. The A. A. A.
foreign travel division, which handles
the major portion of all cars trans
ported to, other lands for vacation
touring, reports so per cent increase
in business during the first few months
of 1885, as compared with the corre-
spending period last year, indicating
the probability that the approaching
travel season will break all former
records"
Streets for Pedestrians.
The former city of Constantinople
has an unique traffic plan.
Pedestrians of Istanbul, Turkey,
have been assigned streets for their
exclusive use. while automobiles and
horse-drawn vehicles have been given
sole rights on others. One-way streets
also are being tried. Traffic lights
were used for awhile and rejected.
The city has real traffic problem in
the congestion of its narrow and wind
ing lanes.
Just how this works out is not
known. The main difficulties would
lie at cross streets and hardships
facing automobile owners residing on
the restricted streets. Any way, even
in Turkey, authorities are working
over traffic problems in effort to make
the streets safer.
Auto sales continue to advance. 1t
is to be hoped that strike clouds will
not dim the bright horizon of the
automotive industry.

March factory sales of cars in the
United States Gncluding foreign as
semblieS from parts made in the
United States and reported COM

reported to the Bureau of Census, of

sisted of 429,830 vehicles, of which
361,813 were passenger cars, and 3d.
OFT were trucks, as compared with
340,544 vehicles in February, 1888, ,434
in March, 1884, and 115,272 vehicles
in March, 1888.
For the first quarter of 1885,
1,063,139 cars were sold. This figure
compares with 724,356 for the first
