13th ANNUAL NATIONAL NEW BRITAIN' DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1922, 'BALLOON RACE STARTS AT MILWAUKEE TODAY RALPH H. U'PSON, Detroit, Mich,, pilot of a civihan balloon. LIEUT. W. F. REED, JR., Pensa- cola, Fla., pilot of a navy balloon. Milwaukee, W May 31, (By As- sociated Press).—Thirteen balloons| today tugged at their moorings ready | to get away at 3:30 o'clock «this aft-| ernoon in the 13th national balloon| race which will decide the three N\-; tries of the United States in the international contests to be held in Switzerland in August. Indications were that the final des- tination of most of the air travelers would be southeastern Canada. | As the thousands of cubic feet of gas and helium struggled to loose the giant bags from the ground ropes, | the United States weather bureau which sent a corps of speclal agents| here, reported that the balloons would | encounter a wind from the northeast | at the start but that this would change to a wind from the southwest| as greater altitudes were reached.| Such winds would mean that the bags] would take a steady flight north- eastward across the Gireat Lakes and into Canada. Several of the baskets attached to to the balloons are of a waterproof floatable type. The balloons attracting probably the greatest attention were two naval entries which are flying independ- ently and are not eligible to any of the prize money or honors of vietory. These two bags were inflated with helium gas, the first free halloons to| navigate the air through the lifting power of this non-inflammable ggub- stance. The helium was hrmmh?‘horw in scores of small tanks Balioon Race Facts Start: Milwaukee ball park. Entri Thirteen, eight two army and three navy Cash Prices: $1,006, §800, $300, $200 and $100.

The road to the summit is not an ideal high- way for any motorist or any motor car—very steep in sections, danger- ously curved, smooth, bumpy and in- different at indefinite intervals, Yet a good Maxwell made the climb in high gear, a performance never be- tore accomplished by any four cylin- der car, and only ully at- tempted by high powered «izes and multiple eylindered vehicles. “In none of the tests here recount- ed was other than the Maxwell stock car used; nor were these cars special- ly adjusted and equipped—merely the same good Maxweils vouw'll find in front of so many w Britain homes, in our display THE WAVERLY INDIAN NuCK, BRANFORD, CONN, llegheny records for Ohio, ran continuou s Sezshore Resort Terms and reservatlons on application.
