“’From the time that the intrepid
'avlator Hawker Jumped off the
coast of Nova. Scotia In his 1010
Trans-Atlantic effort only to pen-
toon in mid-ocean because of fail-
ure in his water-cooling system. un-
til the recent successful dash to the
North Pole by the aptly named flycr
“Byrd" with his giant Fokker. there
has been amazing progress in air-
plane design." said Homer W. Ring
of the Norwalk Franklin Co. Frank-
lin dealer. ‘
”And that progress applies par-
ticularly to methods of cooling mo-
tors. Two diametrically different
cooling systems represent the dif-
ference between failure and suc-
cess."
Less than two years ago, avia-
lion engineers let it , known that
the full possibilities o the airplane
would he realized only when the wa-
ter-cooling system was dropped, Mr.
Ring states. Since then. aeronauti-
cal designers have adopted air-cool-
ed engines as standard in two im-
portant classifications, among the.
air-cooled motors developed being
the Liberty. Wright. Rickenbacker.
Ford and a number of others in.
eluding the Giant Bariing .Bomber
engine which is the most powerful
ever built.
“The airplane being used by Wil-
kins also in on Artie flight is air-
cooled." Mr. Ring points out. "Alan
Cobham. leading long distance av.
later of Great Britain. attributes the

ered in the tropics. This flyer said
the heat in certain parts of South
Africa was appalling; the tempera-
ture of the lubricating oil reached
194 degrees Fahrenheit. yet his air-
cooled engine sailed throush with-
out faltering.
"Eddie Stinson. leading American
filer recently demonstrated at the
Checker Board Field in cnlcsroi
that the quick stopping ability
which aviators have longed for.
and which opens up still further
possibilities for aviation men. has
been realized through the light
weight, originating in his sir-cooled
engine plus the use of wheel brakes
on the landing gear.
“The influence of. aeronautical de-
sign upon motor car design is being
felt more and more." said Mr. Ring.

Strong Livestock Show
At Next State Fair
The Connecticut State Fair will
reap the benefit this year of a re-
arrangement of dates of members of
the Eastdrn Fair Circuit. The New

and the Eastern States Exposition at
Springfield.
This arrangement will result in the
biggest livestock show that Connecti-
cut has ever known due to the many
prominent exhibitors who move over
the eastern circuit and will give
Connecticut breeders an opportunity
to compete against and to study the
best types.
Connecticut will be further bene.
fited‘this year because of the bee‘
cattle show at the Sesqui Centers,
nial following the Connecticut Stat
Fair as many exhibitors throughou'
New England will stop at Hartford
on their way to the Centennial.
