The plane, a fast pursuit ship, was traveling at an estimated speed of 250 | miles an hour. Soper and two other | pilots were diving in formation from an altitude of several thousand feet. About 500 fect above the water and 200 feet from the shore, the other planes | leveled off, but Soper apparently was | unable to come out of the dive, He crashed in about 4 feet of water. Power boats rushed out to the mass of tangled debris. Soldiers from the camp moved it to shore. The crowd remained and the pro- gram of bomb dropping was completed.

RELISH SPEED, AIR-COOLING Franklin Special flashes up Pike’s Peak course, 12.4 miles, to height of 14,109 feet in amazing time of 19 minutes, 25;seconds MID cheering crowds and astounded spectators, a gflnklin Special, piloted'by Cannon Ball Baker, raced the classic Pike's Peak hill-climb in 19 minutes, 2534 seconds! Eantered for the first time in this famous an- nual Labor Day event, the Franklin gained the admiration of thousands throughout the course of 12.4 miles—in which it climbed from 9,000 ft. to 14,000 fr.—a difference of one whole mile in altitude—and finished the terrific grind within one minute and 43 sec- onds of the winner. - - . A gruelling, spectacular run! Around 203 hairpin curves and switch-backs, from sum- mer heat to 2 degrees below freezing, with snow covered roadways—and matched against 6 other high powered, specially con- structed cars, Franklin scored an individual teiumph—rhe only car with no special extra provisions for cooling the engine. This Franklin Special was designed and built on the identical advanced principles employed in the new Franklin Airman Limited. . s In the air an alr-cooled motor carried Lind- bergh to Paris—conquered the Pacific—the North Pole—and now Byrd gives further endorsement by using only air-cooled mo- tors on his Antarctic Expedition. On land the air-cooled Franklin travelled from Los Angeles to New York and return10 14 hours faster than the former record time—the air- cooledFranklin climbed Lookout Mountain, which is 469 steeper than Pike’s Peak, in new record time. Here, in the Airman Limited, isa car that challenges any other carinroad performance. & e e The Airman Limited is thrilling thousands of ownerswith itsincomparable riding com- fort, lightning acceleration and ability to maintain long sustained high speed over roads as they come. We urge you to drive the car—you'll be astonished. AIRMAN LIMITED Franklin Motor Car Company P HARRY W. BURR Salesroom—1517 Conn. Ave. N.W. Sfr\‘ice—1909 M St. N.W Saks- PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE .
