NEWS HAPPENINGS
AT KENNECOTT CAMP
KENNECOTT, Aug. 8 (Special to
Daily Times).—Mrs. Rudolpt Schultz
is rapidly recovering from a dislocat
ed shoulder which she got from a
fall from a handcar on which she was
riding when returning from McCarthy
to Kennecott,
It is currant time in Kennecott and
many a merry party is seen along the
trails and on the hillsides gathering
the berry, and pantry shelves are
being filled to capacity with delecta
ble jellies and jams.
Buster Dennis, George Wilson and
Mr. Pete Buell have returned from a
hunting trip and did not come back
goatless.
Envious persons are advised not
to try to “get their goat.”
Mrs. Connors and children have re
turned from a few days’ visit'in Mc
Carthy.
As Labor Day will not be observed
this year in Kennecott as a holiday,
the McCarthy baseball team are play
ing safe in issuing a challenge for
that day so far as the Kennecott nine
are concerned. Collectively they can
not accept a challenge from any
where. Individually Mr. Dennis wroubl
not wish to subject himself to the
chance of again being picketed to
the umpire stake. Mr. Douglas fears
he might have to return the real
estate he scraped up on his clothes
at McCarthy during the game on the
Fourth, and Mr. Thomas is unable
to borrow a megaphone to fan with.
PLOT IN SAN FRANCISCO
WHICH IS IDEAL SPOT
FOR AIRPLANE LANDING
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8 (by Asso
ciated Press).—J. C. Irvine, director
of the Pacific Aero Club, its former
president, and one of the most noted
among Pacific coast pioneers in avi
ation, says the Marina, formerly part
of the exposition grounds, is one of
the most adaptable aviation landing
stations on the coast.
“No other city in America has within
its limits, or so near its business cen
ter, a flying field to compare with the
Marina, both for hydroplanes and land
machines,” he said.
“As vehicles of competitive trans
portation,” he continued, “the air
plane and dirigible are not past the
experimental stage* as yet. They are
not able to combat the elements
safely; that is to say, fogs and wind
storms. Also rain has a very bad ef
fect upon the propellers. Not many
people realize that with the great
speed in revolutions of an airplane pro
peller. just what effect rain has upon
the blades.
“Raindrops splattering against a pro
pellor revolving at travel speed will
chew the edges of the propellor to
bits, so great is the force of the im
pact. The gasoline engine is not suf
ficiently dependable. It will take some
time to overcome these drawbacks and
develop aircraft to a point where they
can compete as carriers.”
