ION the occasion referred
to, the aerodrome at a given
signal started from a platform
about 20 feet above the water
and rose at first directly in
the face of the wind, moving
at all times with remarkable
steadinesS, and subsequently
swinging around in large
curves of perhaps a hundred
yards in diameter, and con-
tinually ascending until its
steam was exhausted, when
at a lapse of about minute
and a half and at a height
which I judged to be between
so and 100 feet in the air, the
wheels ceased turning, and
the machine, deprived of the
aid of its propellers, to my
surprise did not fall, but set

that it touched the water with

Adversely On An Anvil
By JAMES BIRCHFIELD
MIDDLEBURG. Va.

MIDDLkBUHCi, Va.
Jesse BELL has taken hold Of adversely.
N beaten 1t out on his anvil and fashioned
it into a thriving home industry.
In this Northern Virginia area, where the
horse still Is something of king, Mr.. Bell
was considered one of the best farriers. He
had followed the horSe-shoeing trade for
nearly 30 years when Ill health forced him
to give up the hard physical labor.
Not one to sit still, Mr.. Bell began looking
for a new trade. He finally decided that he
would design a horseshoe-one that would
be better for a horse than anything then
being made-and would hammer the shoes
out In his home shop and sell them to the
local ShoerS.
This he did, and he has made or fabri-
Gated all the machinery that he now uses
to turn out hundreds of shoes every month.
The new Bell shoe was quick to catch on.
and is being used by most of the large
stables in the area Three types of shoes
are being made in the Bell shop-a racing
plate, a polo shoe and a heavier hunter
shoe.
All three types have the same design. and
differ only in weight. The lighter ones are
used for racing, the intermediate cnes for
polo. and the heavy ones for hunting. All
have a sharp ridge beaten into the metal
which provides traction without the neces-
sity of heel caulkS.
"Caulks." Mr.. Bell says. mean that a
horse Is carrying his weight on three points
