Aviation CRIPPLED PILOT MAY ENTER IN U.S, AIR RACES Invents Device to Overcome Lack of ArmBuiit Plane. B ’i I nitct Press YOUNGSTOWN, 0.. July s,—Dale Riblet, Youngstown aviator, 'will be one of the most picturesque pilots in the group competing in the national air races from the Pacific coast to Cleveland late in August - providing he gets someone to furnish him with a plane in the air derby. Riblet is said to be the only onearmed pilot in the country. Certainly he is the only one-armed aviator in this section. Ten years ago Dale began to "monkey around" airplanes because he said he wanted to learn to fly. People said his ambition deserved praise but declared they couldn't see how he was to master it when men with two arms found flying difficult to learn. Owns Plane But that was ten years ago and just a short time ago Riblet made his first solo flight. Since then he has purchased his own mono-coupe ph.ne. Today he has 150 hours of solo flying. Riblet’s answer to those who said he couldn’t fly was an ingenious device on his ship which provides him with the ‘ extra” arm. Ten years ago Riblet and Bill Davis constructed their own ship, installed a Ford motor, and risked their lives flying around Youngstown. Since then Riblet has been taught by various flyers. He attended the Peedie Institute at Hightstown, N. J. Later he put in some time at Park’s Air college. Pilots Any Make of Ship No one but Dale’s instructor knew when Riblet made his first solo flight. The one-armed pilot made a beautiful take-off in a Travelair plane. The landing was perfect. From that time Riblet has never doubted his ability to handle a ship. He has piloted all of the old time planes and most of the new A Ford tri-motored ship was handled by him perfectly. All indications point to Riblet getting a plane for the air races. Several companies have shown an interest in the one-armed flyer.

Oscar De Priest, Negro congressman, intends nominating two more boys of his race for appointment to Annapolis. “Their names will be announced before the summer is over,” De Priest declared in a July 4 address to colored Elks at Calumet Park.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PREDICT BOGST IN SHOE PRICES BY NEWTARIFF Manufacturers Say Proposed Schedules Will Cost Consumers Millions. BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July s.—Claiming a hide and shoe tariff would benefit nobody and cost American consumers millions of dollars, a powerful group of shoe manufacturers has asked the senate finance committee to restore both to the free list. The house tariff bill now’ before the committee imposes a duty of 10 per cent on hides, 12 to 20 per cent on leathers, and 20 per centt on leather shoes. The house leaders originally intended to leace all on the free list, but surrendered to the demands of farm organizations. Not content with the house rate, the American Farm Bureau Federation has asked hide rates of not less than 45 per cent. The finance subcommittee which heard the arguments is yet undecided, but may recommend restoration to the free list. M. S. Flcrsheim of Chicago, who said he represented manufacturers making about one-third of America’s shoes, said the farmer never would get the benefit of the hide tariff, and it would cost millions of dollars in increased prices of shoes. The National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers’ Association, not arguing for free hides, but for a tariff on shoes, said that a 15 per cent duty on hides would cost shoe purchasers and other consumers of leather goods $120,000,000 a year. Road Bond Rate Raised Bu Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., July 5. The interest rate on Putnam county road bonds was raised from 4% per cent to 5Vs per cent because of the failure to sell bonds at the lower rate, at a meeting of county commissioners here. Bridge bonds to the total of $15,340.80 have been authorized.

Keep tills In mind when you trade-in your ear qp H hat one dealer may offer you a larger allowance than another does not necessarily mean that * he is giving you the best deal. You will buy most advantageously to yourself if you remember these basic facts* i A trade-in transaction is a purchase , not a sale. Yon are simply applying your present car as a credit against tiie price of the new car. <8 Your present car has only one fundamental basis of value: what the dealer can get for it in the used car market. It seems to have different values because competitive dealers are bidding to sell you anew car. 3 An excessive allowance may mean that you will be paying an excessive price for the new car in comparison with its real value. In other words, the new car may be priced to permit the extra allowance. 4 Consider first the merits of each new car as compared with its price, including all delivery and finance charges, Then consider the various allowances offered on your present car.
