IN PARIS RACE
NEW YORK, Sept. 13 (by Associ
^ ated Press).—Original American de
sign, high power, small size and
greater speed than any recorded
aeronautical performance of the past,
are features which the designers say
are possessed by three airplanes en
route to Paris to represent America
in the Gordon Bennett cup races be
ginning Sept. 27.
Wright, Curtiss and the United
States army, all pioneers in the con
quest of the air, are the names which
will be painted on the fuselages of
the three American racers, each
^hosen for the promise it held out to
bring back the trophy which has been
in France since 1913.
Upon these three entrants Amer
ica pins her hope of ever again pos
^Fsessing the coveted cup, which will
become the permanent property of
France if she wins again this year.
The race will be held at Etampes,
near Paris, over a circular course of
300 kilometers (183.3 miles). The
prizes include 10,000 frances offered
by the French government and the
Gorden Bennett Cup, valued at $2,500.
Two of the three American ma
chines are monoplane, while the army
contestant, though of miniature pro
portions, is a biplane. All three have
been especially designed for the
race, including special motors and
devices of flying to increase speed and
endurance. It is said to be the opin
ion of flying experts that the win
y+ ners of this race must make over
200 miles an hour.
In the special Curtiss machine the
j
pilot’s seat is far back of the fusel-1
age, twothirds the distance from nose 1
to tail. The propellor is short and |
stubby with a streamlined hub. Un- 1
usually thick wings are supported on !
J either side by a single thick strut ex
i tending to the hub of the landing
wheel. The power plant is a 12
cylinder, 400 horsepower motor.
The chief peculiarities of the
Wright entry are the wings, which
are of three-ply wood veneer instead
of the usual fabric covered frames,
and an undercarriage which folds in
to the fuselage when the machine is
in flight, thus reducing wind resis
tance and resulting in a proportionate
increase in speed. The mechanical
action necessary to fold up the under
carriage also flattens out the wings
into racing form, providing a wide
variation between minimum and max
imum speeds, the thicker wing being
used for landing and taking off.
Power is furnished by a 250 horse*
power motor of special design.
The air service racer is still some
thing of a mystery. It was designed
and built at McCook field, the army
experimental station by designers of
the Liberty motor. The motor is of
500, (horsepower.
Pilots of the three machines are
Roland Rohlfs, former holder of the
world’s altitude record, Captain Ru
dolph Schroeder, the present title
holder and Howard Hinehart.

| What Late Summer Discloses j
ONE thing distinguishes this par
ticular summer from others that
have recently preceded it, and that
thing is its late summer millinery. Au
gust discloses hats that have no hint
of autumn in them, hats that belong
to the heart of summertime and none
that are out of tune with it. The
foolish practice of introducing wintry
looking velvet headwear in the dog
days has been abandoned and let us
hope it has passed to that bourn of
out-grown follies from which no im
becile fancy ever returns.
It seems unnecessary for designers
to attempt to add to their laurels, for
there lias been so much to admire in
this season’s millinery. And they have
not made any radical new departure,
hut have delighted in taking the ma
terials at hand and emphasizing those
features in the season's styles that
show most vitality.
Two of the four hats pictured in the
group above, proclaim the revival of
ostrich plumes. One of them, at the top
of the group, is of lace, with a long,
slightly curled plume encircling it.
The other is a narrow-brimmed straw
shape with short uncurled single
teatliers drooping over the crown;
both are summery, cool-looking models.
At the right, an off-the-faee shape of
straw braid and narrow picot-edged
ribbon has a row of small bows made
of the ribbon for its adornment. This
is a hat that will he worn into the
fall in a shape that we shall meet
again in winter millinery.
The hat of black georgette at the
left of the picture is typical of the
styles in mourning millinery. Its nar
row brim is faced with white geor
gette and smooth folds applied to it
very neatly from large disks on the
crown and brim. The long, square
meshed veil has tiny squares instead
of dots woven in it and a border of
georgette. There is nothing burden
some or oppressive looking in this
handsome model in which the designer '
has achieved an unusually successful
hat while exercising much reticence in
the use of mourning materials.
