Aviation ‘SMITHY’ QUITS FORGE TO BUILD OCEANJLANE lowan Spends Five Years on Craft to Span Sea in 11 Lours. Bn United Press HANC'CK, lowa, Aug. 31.—His forge s< ,nds idle and the horseshoes r it on their racks while S. W. Lambert, 74-year-old blacksmith, spends his days building an airplane that he believes will by able to cross the Atlantic in eleven hours. Lambert believes his craft will attain a speed of 300 miles an hour and in addition will be able to hop off from a standing position, “rarin’ right up in the air” instffid of having to taxi on rubber tires. It will be a cabin-ship with a pilot and four passengers. Lieut. Glen Martin, a Hancock boy and war-time aviator, has consented to conduct test flights this fall. Toiled Five Years The past five years of Lambert’s life have been devoted to the airplane slowly taking shape in his back yard, from parts whittled and smoothed and adjusted in his combined bedroom, living room and workroom, at the rear of the old blacksmith shop. The shop itself he padlocked, being through with it forever. He enters it only under protest. Its only value, in his eyes, is a storage place for his cherished Hall-Scott motor. , "I started working on this airplane as a part-time job,” he said. “I just got to thinking that I wanted to do it, and I might as well. And after I got into it, the blacksmithing bothered me so that I shut up shop.” Creates Each Part As Lambert originated his airplane, he made each individual part different from such parts on all other airplanes, as he had studied them in aviation magazines. He developed a cyclonic propeller, now patented, with a swirl on the end of the blade; a four-purpose stabilizer; an uplifter, to take the place of the conventional landing gear; a different wing shape, different fuselage and tail type and different ailerons. In its every line the airplane is Lambert’s own idea. No working drawing or blue print aids him. He made a model, but he gave it away as a bird house. Won’t Bobbie be lonesome when Mary and Jim start back to school? Why not buy him a pet to play with. There are some real ones offered in the Pet and Live Stock Want Ads.

Improved Air Laws Needed to Promote Safety of Aviation

This is the last of a series of articles in which Captain Malcolm J. Buchanan, writer for The Times and NEA Service, explains the use of the airplane and how to operate it. Buchanan was a pilot with the U. S. Army Air Corps on the Western front during the World War and is now on the editorial staff of the Ft. Worth (Tex.) Press. BY CAPT. MALCOLM BUCHANAN The Government has placed aviation control in the hands of the Department of Commerce. Congress, upon recommendation of the department, has made rapid strides in passing laws to control flying. Three to five years ago it was no uncommon sight to see planes, flying commercially, that were not only unsafe for their pilots, but for everyone around them. Laws Needed Would-be pilots all over the country, who could raise enough money to do so, bought old worn-out planes, took flying lessons and started carrying passengers. I have seen pilots, who could hardly keep a ship in the air hang out their sign and begin commercial flying. In many cases this was suicidal. At that time there was no way to stop this unsafe practice. Laws were needed to curb the untrained and reckless aviator, who endangered his own life as well as the lives and property of others. The laws now are good as far as they go, but tblere is room for much improvement and coverage. It is up to the States to come in and do their part, both as to lawmaking and enforcement. For today, as long as a pilot does not cross a State line he cannot be touched by 1 national law, regardless of his incompetence. The unlicensed pilot with the unlicensed ship is still a free lance and allowed to do as he sees fit. In most States there are no laws to prevent him from hauling passengers. Public Realizes Peril But today the public is beginning to wake up to the fact that the unlicensed ship and pilot are unsafe, and as this becomes more generally known the unsafe operator will be forced from the field and flying then will be on a better basis. The commerce department now requires pilots to obtain a certain rating for one of the three classes of flying that he intends to engage in: transport, license and limited. Certificates for each are issued for six-month periods, at the end of which time they must be renewed by examination. Airplanes must be approved by a department of commerce inspector, and when passed, a certificate, which must be displayed in a prominent place on the ship, is' issued. The machine is given a number and an initial. These usually are painted on the upper and lower wing and on the tail. Planes with numbers only are merely identified to show that the pilot has applied for inspection. The initial will be added when the inspection is complete. ' Licenses Revocable Under existing regulations the unlicensed pilot is not allowed to fly a licensed ship. Neither is the licensed pilot allowed to fly the unlicensed plane. Infraction of these rules may mean a loss of license. Laws governing acrobatic flying

over airways and cities are in effect as well as rules which set the altitude at which pilots must stay while passing over designated territory. In most States low flying is prohibited, and there is also a national law which has to do with the phase. But it is nec&sary for the States to back up the Government all the way if the proper results are to be accomplished. Just as a ship at sea, the airplane, when flying after dark, must have displayed the proper navigation lights. Mechanics and riggers who work on the machines must also have a certificate to insure proper work being done. Use Plane on Visit Bn Times Special FRANKFORT, Ind., Aug. 30.

BACKS PATROL PLAN Council Head Favors Hiring 16 Deputy Sheriffs. Plans of Sheriff Omer Hawkins, county Republican chairman, to organize a county patrol system with sixteen additional deputy sheriffs has been agreed to tentatively by George N. Montgomery, county council president, leader of the controlling faction which will pass on Hawkins’ request for an additional appropriation. Under the plan, eight substations manned by two deputies, one police officer, with a fast automobile carrying machine guns and other equipment for fighting lawlessness, would be established. Efforts to put the plan into operation have taken on added significance in the last week, since the county council, controlled by the Hawkins-Coffin Republican organization. insisted that it be allowed to pass on the request, already killed by the county commissioners, a majorty of whom are unfriendly* to the Hawkins regime.

It will weaken your entire sys- 1 tem. You can see that it is neces-| sary to drive away constipation, and ! Konjola, the new medicine, has proved itself a compound that is able to do just such a thing—rid J your body of poisons and restore:; the inner-system to normal action Reports from former sufferers are received almost daily by the Konjola | Man at the Hook drug store, Illi-' nois and Washington streets, Indi-j; anapolis, where crowds are calling i ■ daily to find out for themselves i about this remarkable remedy. Just the other day Mr. Milton Roe, living at 1115 North Dearborn street, this city, made the following statement to the Konjola man: “Konjola is the first medicine XT have found to end my health troubles and give me lasting relief from * the stomach miseries I had been • suffering,” said Mr. Roe. 'Hardly' a day went by, that I didn’t suffer 1 some kind of pain and I was beginning to believe I would have to go, through the rest of my life with■; that half-sick feeling hanging over me all the time. "The worst thing about my case was constipation. I had taken so many different kinds of laxative tablets that I honestly believe they did me more harm than good, because I noticed, from time to time., that I had to increase the dosage and there was always more of ai strain in order to get proper dim!-' nation. Sometimes I had such headaches that I thought my head would burst and I was often subject' to dizzy spells. A dull, sluggish' feeling came over my whole body and I always felt tired and wornout. My stomach, too, caused me &, lot of trouble. I had a good appetite, but my food never seemed todo me any good. In fact, it would) form like a hard knot in my stomach and sour and ferment, untiL my whole system was bloated with gas. Sharp pains would strike me in my sides and sometimes they were so severe they would take my breath away. "I Anally made up my mind to give Konjola a trial. After taking only one bottle, I could notice a difference and within a few days more there seemed to be new feelings of health creep over my whole system. Altogether, I have taken three bottles of Konjola and the relief it gave me is amazing. My bowels move regularly without the aid of laxatives at all and I have not nad a dizzy spell since taking the second bottle of this medicine. This medicine gave me relief from my stomach miseries almost at once. That heavy lump in my stomach disappeared and now my digestion is perfect. I no longer have those sharp pains in my side and I can sleep all night through without waking up once. Konjola has certainly meanr much to me and I will glady tell others about it.” The Konjola Man is at Hook's drug store, Illinois and Washingtoa streets, Indianapolis, where he la dally meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is now sold m all Hook stores and by all the leading throughout this #ection.TrActm'Usenieflk |
