BISMARCK DATLY TRIBUNE 4) FRIDAY. AUGUST 3, 1917. TS EASIER 10 Manly Sees War Eagles Turned Out in Four Hours Remarkable Curtiss Training Ma- chine, With Dual Control, Is “Responsible for Speed By Basil M. Manly Mineola, N. Y., Aug. 3,—It’s easier to learn to fly a warplane than to learn to run an automo- bile! That's what [ learned at Mineo- la, the eagle’s aerie—the nesting place of the great’ American bird, king of the skies. For Unele Sam’s great Mineola aviation field is the school where the eagle’s young are taught to swoop. over. the fields of France, carrying terror'to German vul- tures. Easier to learn to fly than to learn to run an auto! How long did it take you, or your’ neighbor, to gain the confidence of his ma- chine? Well, at Mineola mere boys become expert pilots, ready for the ‘finishing ‘touches of in- struction in war combat, IN FOUR HOURS. Most autoists stay out of the downtown traffic congestion for four weeks, to say nothing of four days. And as for auto mastery in four hours—unheard of! “That boy is one of our best gradu- ate airmen.” I followed the gesture of my ollicer- guide to a figure in khaki. Then like a jolt in the ribs came from, the officer: ‘ “HE LEARNED IN FOUR HOURS. HB 1S READY FOR FRANCE.” T had turned my gaze back to the sky. Things had seemed interesting there. Half a dozen huge planes were circling, passing and repassing. | had been thinking a collision was about due. But—‘“Became a star air pilot in four hours!” 1 studied the boy—yes, boy, apparently about 20, slim, cool, no swagger, just plain American boy. I had made a mistake craning my LEARN neck upward. After that I kept my eyes closer to the ground. And the most important thing I learned at Mineola was that the men, the soul of the eagles, were more)’ worth watching than the air, the ele- ment they conquered, or the planes, wings. “Just tell me,” I said to the officer piloting me past hangars, tents and barracks, “how they do it.” iNe matched my surprise, “Why,” with a shrug, “They learn to fly alone in two hou If they can’t fly alone in 10 hours they leave, so they won't waste our time. After 20 hours of ac- tual flying they are ready to become They must have pas: t stunts—ere coun- try flights, triangular flights, urate landings on fixed marks, and so on. “Then, as officers, after a little time at an advance school, here or, in France, learning to héndle fast ma- chines, aerial gunnery and ‘bomb drop- ping, they are ready for their first air battle.” ‘The remarkable Cur JN machine, greatest training airplane in the world, adopted iby the British, is re- factory.

PING ENPERT HERE TO SEE THAT STREETS ARE PUT IN CONDITION Bitulithic Man Explains Why Pavements Have Had Their Spotty Appearance Pr be Paving Pxpert M. J. Taylor, of Port- land, Ore., representing the Warren Construction Co., has arrived in Bis- marck to put the bithultic pavement ‘which was laid last fall in first class shape. “In order to give the city pavement during the past winter,” said Mr. Tay- lor today, “the work was started late in the fall, and due to very cold wea- ther at that''time a larger percentage of flush ‘coat was used ‘than is ‘usual. “The excessive hot weather of the past two weeks has brought out the extra asphalt, causing the sticky ap- pearance and marking of the surface and that the trouble is due solely to this cause and none other is demon- strated ‘by the fact that the work done this year is in fine condition. “The streets will be thoroughly sanded and roled by Supt.

THERE ARE NOW SEVEN ReoMoéels,comptis- ing Fours in Touring and Roadster types; Sixes in Touring, Roadster and Sedan; and the two Reo Commercial Vehicles—the 84-Ton “Speed Wagon” and 2-Ton “Heavy Duty” Truck. IN THIS ADVERTISEMENT we have space only for a brief paragraph pertaining to each Reo Model—lest you forget the line is 80 com- plete that you can find the car you desire, in the type you prefer, and in a Reo. REO THE FIFTH “The Incomparable Four” is America’s most famous automobile, Standard in practically its present form for now eight sea- sons—‘going on nine”. At its present price, $985, this car is verily “A gold dollar for'ninety'cents”. TO REO THE FIFTH more than to any other, is due the movement that is now,so apparent—the return to the Four-cylinder type in all cars list- ing at less than $1,000. THE FOUR ROADSTER is the handsomest model of its type you'll see on the road—at any price. And, for the present, you can get it for $985 and freight from the factory. OF THE SIX ROADSTER the ‘same is true, plus the extra luxury it affords the owner at the extra cost—$1386 f. 0. b. Lansing. K THESE TWO ROADSTERS are o! r design and identical construction and are conceded to be the handsomest cars of the type—pxice aside. FOR THE FAMILY that needs a car of greater capacity than five «id yet of moderate upkeep, the Reo Six Touring Car—also $1385 for the present—knows no'equal, ° NO MATTER WHAT YOU PAY you cannot obtain a 7-passenger car of better design: one that tepresents sounder engineering; more expér- ience; better materials and workmanship than. enter isto the making of this Reo Six. Z THAT'S A BROAD CLAIM but we make it un- hesitatingly—and you know that the word of Reo passes at par evérywhere. THE REOSIX SEDAN is of all the Reo models—and therefore 8 the ‘best of Reo experience and taste. REFINED AND IMPROVED at every point where last season’s experience showed the need or the opportunity. This body is staunch in construction as well as graceful in curve and line. AT ITS PRICE, $1,950, you will not find its equal—nor at a thousand dollars more, its super- ior. We state that in all confidence too. . OF THE REO TRUCKS what need we say here? The 34-Ton “Hurry Up” Wagon at $1,125 (chassis ¢1080) jand the famous 2-Ton Reo “Heavy Duty” at $1800—each is the leader in its own class—demand greatly in excess of factory capacity. BUT THAT IS TRUE. of all Reo:models, without exception. THAT’S WHY WE SAY “Reo Quality is Uniform in all Reo Models,” the uniform over-demand for all Reo models justifies.the statement. ORDER NOW if youd have your Reo soon. Present prices are guaranteed only till December first. If you order now and specify delivery before that time, you'll get your Reo et the present. price.
