IS INAUGURATED Minister of National De * fence Presents Second Moth Machine " HUGE CROWDS Eight 'Planes from Toronto, 'Ottawa and Montreal at Opening Granby, Que, June 19.--Col. the Hon. J. L. Ralston, Minister of National Defence, on behalf of the Federal Government, presented the second of the two Moth airplanes to the Granby Aero Club here on Saturday afternoon at the official opening of the new flying field and the light airplane club, This is the eleventh light air- plane club to be opened in the Dominion and Granby is 'the smallest city in the Dominion to have a light airplane club," said Col. Ralston in complimenting the directors of the club and the peo- ple of Granby on their enthusiasm in promoting "alr-mindedness" if Canada. P. E. Boivin, M.P,, at Ottawa for the county, Mayor of Granby, spon- gar and honorary president of the elub, received the plane on behalf of the other officers and directors of the club who were present with him. He expressed the pleasure of the people of Granby in welcoming the Minister of National Defence. Some 5,000 people were present at the inauguration of the club and the new flying field, which is lo- cated ahout a mile outside the town on a high and dry gravelly farm. The weather conditions were pxcellent except for the threai of rain at one period in the afternoon when a few drops fell, A Near Accident The biggest thrill of the after- {noon came planes of the Montreal Light Afr- plane Club, in failing to take off during plane manouevres, barely escaped crashing imto the crowd which had edged in to get a better view of the proceedings. Only one person, a child, was touched by the wings of the plane. The child, a girl of about 10 years of age, was more frightened than hurt, it was disclosed when a medical man cua- ducted a brief examination in the adjoining airdrome. planes in all visited the field during-the day the furthest . [distant coming from Toronto carry- ing a message from the mayor of Toronto to the mayor of Granby. Two planes -came from Ottawa. One brought the Minister of Na- tional Defence and the other car- ried the controller of 2ivil avia- tien, J. A. Wilson, The other planes came from Montreal and distriet. ' The flying field, which is com- posed of some 150 acres of which about 90 are being used at the present time, was secured only two days before the inauguration cere- monies. It was marked out in thd usual approved landing-ground style, with a large "T" to help the fliers in landiing. Many Present Shortly after 12 o'clock people began arriving at the field. Cars from all around the countryside were parked in an adjoining field, as well as those from the neighbor- ing towns. Many people drove out from» Montreal. The first plane arrived at 1.40. This was the "Swallow" of the El- liott Air Service of Montreal carry- ing two passengers as well as the pilot. The fliers were greeted hy Capt. P, B, Boivin, secretary of the local clnb. Members of the Gran- hy Boy Scout organization managed to keep the curious crowd away from the swirling propellor, About a half hour later, four planes were sighted approaching the field and flying in formation. These had left the St. Hubert Fly- ing Field, Montreal's airport, in a group, Two of these helonged to the Montreal Light Airplane Club, and were piloted by Capt. F. G. M. Sparks, chief instructor, and Roy H. Foss, recently of Camp Borden, and 8 member of the Montreal club.

You'd Be Surprised to Find How Many "New Ideas Are Aged EVOLUTION GOES ON 'How Achieved By Engineers Motor enthusiasts who are mani- festing admiration for the splendidly advanced new model automobiles may not believe it but it is true, nevertheless, that some of the fea- tures that seem so fine, so modern, and so radical, were to he found on the cars produced from 1896 to.1900, the first decade of the automotive industry. These features as they appeared in the early horseless car- riages were not, of course, qf the same degree of refinement and they were hidden under body designs that might best be described by the word "bulgy." But there they were, just the same One of the basic features that all cars have in common today -- save for two stock car exceptions -- is a sclective type transmission with three speeds forward and one re- verse. In the first one-cylinder Haynes car that was absolutely "guaranteed to run one and one-half miles without a stop," the producer proudly proclaimed that his product had three speeds forward and one reverse. The one-cylinder engine was somewhat of a handicap to this type of transmission which works so well today with the smooth, bal- anced modern motor. But, apart from refinement, the principle is the same, Application is New One of the things about which one hears today with a definite sénse that it is distinctly new 'is "the growing use of aluminum in engine units." As a matter of fact, the present application of aluminum is pew, but it was used in motor car building as early as 1894 , Today, it appears in pistons and connecting rods. Then, it was used in cylinders and in the-crankcase. Automatic spark is regarded by the motor buyer of today as the product of the last three or four years. Yet, the 1903 models of one of today's finest straight eighths boasted of an automatically controlled spark. Furthermore, this car is re- garded by engineers as having one of the most effective central chassis lubrication systems. The 1903 model had "a central oil box with tubes leading to all wital units to assure positive lubrication at all times." Wire Wi Commentators on the latest cars point to the increased use of wire wheels. The car that did not have wire wheels in the first decade of motordom was a novelty to be called to the public's attention. Of course, there is a remarkable difference be- tween the wire wheel of the late "90s and today. In the earlier period the automobile inheritéd its wheels from the bicycle. Fragile and subject to a host of troubles, these wheels got by because they did not have an enormous torque to absorb. Even multiple disc clutches were used in motordom's dawn. Back in 1906, a newcomer on the market boasted not only of this feature but also that he offered engine, clutch, and transmission built as a unit. That, too, has a familiar ring in 1928. In thinking over the features that the carly cars certainly did not have one is almost certain to light upon the rumble seat. But, even this guess is wrong. Except for the fact that it" was called 2 folding scat car maker. He used it in shafts, gear. and in other units, just as it is ing used today, although, it must be admitted, not with the same ex- cellent effect. As for the radiators of the early motor cars, one of them was round and the others of proportions that would look ridiculous today, mnever- theless they were of honevcomb and cellular types just as are the narrow, deep, graceful fronts of today's au- tomobiles. & Speed Then and Now A foretaste of the speed of the True Results of Today and flying 1928 models was obtainable as carly as 1906. One prominent car manufacturer of that year, now out of business, advertised with great emphasis that his product was guar- anteed "to run from 5 to 60 miles an hour There was the important HOSIER 79¢ and Spring Coats in Flannel $1.39 Cleaning Out Less Than Cost Latest Modes 13% difference, however, hetween ° that car and today's model, that when the former carried its full comple- ment of passengers--seven--its top speed was reduced by half.

The situation was quite different when the sun rose upon the first automo- biles. The higher they were, the] better they were. Height and class | went hand in hand, apparently, A foreign manufacturer who was trying to crash the American market with a $3,500 product took especial pride in pointing out that the top ee ---- of his limousine model was 7 feet, 9 inches from the ground. Ninety~ three inches! Today, 'some of them are nearly three feet lower. It is interesting to note, in pass« ing, that when the 1906 cars were being exhibited for the first time they did not refer to the different types as "models" They called them "patterns" in those days.
