Although under the auspices of the college, the meet- ing is no more than that. Once call- ed together, the meeting was auto- matic, proceeded under its own initia- tive under its own officials, and dis- cussed each problem as it pleased.

It is the belief of the college representatives present. that a work- able formula for profitable farming in Morton county will be arrived at.

It is most fitting that at this celebration there should be brought together the build- ers of our age and foremost among them is the good man we honor to- day, Herbert Hoover. Thanking the crowd for the “gen- erosity and courtesy” of its welcome, the president said he saw “no lack of warmth in the faces and hearts of | the people of Detroit despite the ace tion of the skies.” “I have thought it a fitting thing, as the governor has said, for the pres- ident of the United States to take, part in paying honor to one of our’ greatest Americans, Thomas A.

The giant Dornier plane took off at 11:15 a. m. and landed just one hour’ jlater. The machine flew over Lake Constance, her motors working fault- lessly and landed with her 51-ton load at 12:15 p. m. without a hitch. The Do-X carried 159 passengers jand acrew of 10. She had made pre- ; vious test flights but this was the first time that so great a load was taken up. Carries 40 Normally The flying boat. which may be used for a transatlantic crossing for the purpose of trying out her capacities was built in the greatest secrecy. She was designed to carry 40 passengers normally but has accommodation for 100 if necessary. Her 12 engines can develop a total of 6,000 horsepower and each engine can be treated indi- vidually without affecting its neigh- bors. The Do-X measures 150 feet from tip to tail. Its wings are 10 feet. thick and 150 feet from wing tip to wing tip. Six great turrets project from each wing and each turret is equipped with two engines of 500 horsepower. The turrets are manned by mechanics who can walk along a Passage on the inside of the wings from one turret to another. When the Do-X was launched last. July she carried 34 tons of weight and was able to get into the air with the greatest ease after a take-off run of only 500 yards, other trials were similarly successful. Has Three Decks One of the features of the plane is her three decks while another is that the machine can fly with only eight motors in use. Dr. Dornier built the plane at Al- tenrhein which is on the Swiss side of the German-Swiss frontier because of the limitations on German aircraft ‘Small Thing, We Do’ “Mr. Edison has brought to our country great distinction throughout ) the world.
