/ —Aviation— . PLAN NATIONAL DEALERS' CHAIN ; TO AID PLANES Wright Company Proposes Series of Stations to Supply Parts. Si' Time* Special NEW YORK, July 23.—Exhaustive tests completed recently after a sixmonths period of investigation by the A. W. Shaw Company, publishers of Washington, D. C„ indicate that the cost of operating a cabin monoplane with a Wright “Whirlwind” motor is an economically Bound business venture. R. L. Putnam, vice president of the company states that the plane was flown a distance of 21,907 miles during the tests at a cost of 51.5 cents an airplane mile totalling 10.3 cents per passenger mile. These figures include the cost of depreciation on the plane and engine, the pilot’s salary and expenses, upkeep and servicing, cost of hangar space, gas, oil and insurance. The gas and oil consumption of the Wright “Whirlwind” motor in these tests compared favorably with automobile consumption in a large touring car. The plane averaged slightly better than ten miles to a gallon of gasoline, and the average speed under normal flying conditions was 100 miles an hour. 2,000 Motors in Use Numerous business executives in the United States have recently purr chased modern commercial airplanes in order to provide themselves with rapid transportation between points which are not easily accessible by railway. Among these are Ross W. Judson, president of Continental Motors, Inc., of Detroit; the Wadhams Oil Company, operating a Fairchild plane; and the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company using the same type. Approximately 2,000 Wright V "Whirlwind” engines are now in op:--'.ticn in America and this number is increasing steadily, according to Guy Vaughan, vice president and general manager of the Wright Aeronautical Corporation of Paterson. N. J. “We must provide additional facilities for the adequate servicing of these engines. To accomplish this end a comprehensive survey is being . made of the entire country with the view of establishing parts dealers and approved Wright Service Stations at all of the prominent airplane centers. Dealers Carry Parts “Parts dealers will carry complete stocks of parts and will have in their employ at least one man who has our unqualified recommendation as an expert Wright mechanic. * The dealers’ shops will be fully equipped to handle any kind of Wright engine work, from the standardized inspection service to a complete engine overhaul. All dealers will sell spare parts at the published catalog prices, with no additions being made for handling or transportation charges. “Approved service stations will

Stomach Agony and Back-ache Ended Mrs. Anderson In Perfect Health Now. Eats Well. Gaining Weight. Every one troubled with indigestion, back-ache or constipation will realize how welcome perfect health was to Mrs. Philip Anderson, 848 Rush St., South Bend, Ind., after years of suffering. She tells her experience as follows: “I suffered agonies with stomach, liver and kidney trouble for seven years, ever since my little girl was born. I was badly constipated, extremely nervous, and simply worn out by loss of sleep and dreadful pains in my back. I had no pep at . all. I was very bilious, had bad dizzy spells, and my complexion turned yellow. I went down to 90 pounds. 'Gas formed on my stomach every time I ate anything, and the bloating and cramps pained me terribly./ Food felt like a rock in my stomach. At times the pains were so intense I could hardly breathe. Often I sat up half the night trying to get my breath. I thought I would die. Nothing gave ( me any relief, and I was on the ‘ verge of despair when I started to take Viuna. At once I began to improve. My appetite came back, indigestion vanished, and now I eat anything I want. I sleep fine, am not nervous any more, and never have those awful dizzy spells. My skin is clear and I’ve gained ten pounds. Friends all say how well I look.” Vlnna beta promptly on alngglat jewels, lacy liver and weak kidneys. It yurlfiea the blood, clears the skin, reatores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then If you re not glad v..u tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind.

Authorized service stations will be equipped to handle the usual inspec- | tion and tune-up work'and, at thenoptions, can be equipped to handle complete engine overhaul. Install Radio Beacons WASHINGTON, July 23.—Radio beacons to assist airplane pilots in flying through fog and clouds will be installed at Army air stations at St. Francisco, Cal.; San Antonio, Tex.; Uniontown, Pa.; Dayton, Ohio; Mitchell Field, L. 1., and Washington, D. C., Assistant Secretary of War Davison announced today. “The radio beacon,” he said, "sends three signals which run parallel to each other like fingers extended from a hand. When the pilot is on his exact course he hears the letter “T.” If he swings to the right or left, it changes to “N* or “A.” In other words, if the weather is such that he cannot see, the pilots fly by ear.” Propose Flying Club BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 23. Chamber of Commerce officials are advocating formation of an aviation club of fifty members as a sequel to establishment of an airport* here a few weeks ago by the Graham Motor Sales Company. Plane Fully Equipped. The new Curtiss “Robin,” a monoplane designed by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company for commercial service, has been equipped with a complete set of Pioneer navigational instruments, according to Charles H. Colvin, president of the Pioneer Instrument Company. Parachutes Tested Parachute testing at Indianapolis airport Sunday by 113th Observation Squadron, National Guard, fliers, was a isuccess, all eight ’chutes opening rapidly and carrying dummy passengers safely to the ground. The dummies, shaped like a man, were attached to the bomb rack of a Curtiss 0-11 biplane piloted by Lieut. Matt G. Carpenter. Sergt. Russell A. Long operated the parachute releases. The 110-pound dummies were released while the ship was flying at 110 mils an hour.

July 23.—The twenty-three planes remaining in the national air tour today started their last week of the contest with a flight to Fargo. N. D. The planes arrived here Sunday after a 500-mile flight from Great Falls. Mont., with one stop, at Froid, Mont., for lunch. John Woods, with a Waco biplane, holds the lead in the contes i with 21.060.6 points, more than 2,300 points ahead of his nearest rival, Frank Hawks, who flies a Ford trimotor monoplane. George Peck, whose Travelair developed motor trouble at El Paso, Texas, has rejoined the tour. Fred Stone Visits City Fred Stone, famous comedian, who recently has become an aviation enthusiast, landed at Indianapolis airport Sunday morning in his Whirlwind Travel Air, for fuel, on his way to New York. Stone has been visiting friends in many States with his plane, which he pilots between stops. When landing and taking off, the ship is operated by Pilot Charles Campion. In his play, “Criss Crc> ” which visited Indianapolis last spring, Stone displayed his interest in aviation with a scene in which he appeared in flying togs. Huge Plane Is Built A 600 horse power all-metal monoplane for use in trans-continental air mail routes is under construction at the plant of the Columbia Air Liners, the company of which Charles A. Levine, trans-Atlantic flier, is president.
