KE-fOVEBED WINGS
AGAIN FOIL FLIEBS
New York, Jan. 17.?Ice.encrusted
wings, which frustrated a third at
tempt by Clarence D. Chamberlin to
establish a flight duration record, are
regarded by him as an explanation for
the disappearance of many airplanes
in trans-Atlantic flight attempts.
Chamberlin, forced out of the air
three and one-half hours after he and
a companion, Roger Q. Williams, start
ed another ~ attempt at the daratlon
record, yesterday brought his plane
to the grountd burdened with 700
pounds of ice, which formed in twenty
minutes. .
"What would have happened in an
other 20 minutes more I don't know,"
he said, "our experience undoubtedly
accounts for a good many of the people
who disappeared In trans-Atlantic
flights last year.
"To fly or^ with Ice forming stead,
ily or to dump the gas would be fa
tal either way, probably. It they did
not dump their load, but tried to
keep on, they were bound to reach
the power where the maximum num
ber of revolutions of their motors
would be Insufficient to keep the hear,
ily weighted plane aloft."
Plans for another attempt at the
duration record will depend upon ar
rangements he can make -with regard
to a two months' lecture tour on which
Chamberlin is scheduled to start to
morrow. Wliilams Is willing to make
another attempt any time Chamberlin
Is ready.

LOCAL MA> IJiVE^TS A IB TESTER
Taking its place among the most
practical inventions in the last de
cade is the visable air fester, recent,
ly invented by Mr. E. H. McFarland,
an auto mechanic of Louisburg, who
hds given quite a long study and
I much time and' labor towards de.
veloping a practical air terting appa.
ratus fqr garages. He Ua^ had sev
eral patents on his perfected machine
]and has others pending. Mr. McFar
land has associated with him in this
invention and the marketing of it,
Mr. J. A. Hodges, also of I^ouisburg.
The machine consists of a large
dial with a pressure gauge, built in
the usual style only larger, a set of
I tubes, and a specially made device
i at the end make contact with the
tire valve that contains several valYes.
i By the use of this one can ascertain
the pressure of air in the tire, re.
' lease the air therein or put in more
air at will without removing the oen.
tact from the tube valve. It is a most
complete system and is well adapted
to heavy , high presure service. The
machine is so built that it can be at
tached to old style air systems, or is
? complete with its own air supply.
Many who have seen the new sys.
tern have pronounced it the best and
most complete instrument on tha
market and we understand the Visible
Air Testing Co., of Louisburg. who
has the rights of patents in charge,
have received many inquiries looking
toward- the sale of the machine.
Messrs. McFarland and Hodges are
delighted with the success they have
'made with one of these instruments
| that has been in constant use tn Hen.
' derson for the past year. Their many
friends are extending congratulations
tor the wonderful succesa they' are
