MOTOR GLIDERS FUTURE GREAT | New Era in Aviation | Foreshadowed by Tests, Claim. LONDON, July 21.—A new era in air flying, that of cheap, safe, popu- | Jar airplaning, is foreshadowed by the remarkable success attained by tiny British airplanes called motor glid- ers. One of these, a small monoplane fitted with a three horsepower en- gine, recently reached a speed of 63 miles an hour during tests near Lon- don. It climbed to 2,360 feet, and al- though in the air for an hour and twenty minutes, consumed less than a gallon of petrol. French aviation experts also are perfecting similar “‘pocket-planes,” in- tended for use by emateur aviators and sporting enthusiasts, At a con- test soon to be held near Paris thirty of these diminutive planes will take part. In England a small “car with wings,” capable of carrying {ts owner through the air et the speed of an express train with no more power than {s required by a motorcycle, has reached such a practical stage that orders are being booked for it by the public. Rising out of small fields and being wonderfully controllable in the air, these cheaply-run winged cars are to be made to alight so slowly that the risk of a crash on landing, even un- der adverse ctreumstances, will be ractically eliminated. ermore, Bich machines will be so bandy on the ground, and their wings will fold so neatly, that it will be possible to house them in ordinery motor garages. It 1s expected that the owner of one of these machines will be able to make the trip from London to Paris and back, sweeping high over the Channel and escaping all the irrita- tions and delays of earth transport, for about $5, A movement is now on foot to get motor garage proprietors to set aside esmooth-surfaced fields, marked clearly so they can be seen from above. In this way the drivers of little “air cars," when on weok-end nerial rambles, will have points all over the country where they pan de Soond and replenish thelr gasoline tanks, or make any necessary repairs or adjustments.

PAUL, Minn, July 21—Reports from Omaha that Tommy Gibbons had recetved $28,000 for his fight with Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, at Shelby, Montana, July 4, were emphatically denied today by Eddie Kane, Gibbons’ manager. “Gibbons did not recetye one cent,” Kane said. “He was paid his train- ing expenses and that money went to defray the cost of h's camp and spar- ring partners. Hig only source of revenue will be from the motion pio tures.” , Gibbons tonight at Mineapolis wil! conclude the first week of his 14 week vaudeville tour.
