It a ' felling agency for riying-maohin sup plies, supplying- the aviators and aero naut of the entire Pacific coast novioe and amateur alike, with material for the construction of sky-machines. Dozens of reasons explain why the caa lighting; shop of Manning Bros at 41 Third street, la rapidly being turned Into a depot for aeroplane supplies -the only one of Its kind In the west , Inven tors and sky men from all over the tjest are now sanding to Portland for sup plies for their machines, for silk to cover the planes for bamboo and steel ribs, and white pine, ' and propellers, and a. dozen other things.

They built It and called It Cornet No. 1, and then, after a few trials, built another .and larger machine. And they called It Comet No. 1 -t Comet No. 2 was, peculiarly, too fast for exhibition , purposes. It was quipped with a 8S horsepower eight cylinder motor, drove through the air tU a rata of from 70 to 75 miles an hour t too great a speed for sharp turns over exhibition , track. , After some trouble, Bruno Belbel. well-known auto driver who baa been connected with the Manning Toys." fell with the airship at Laierlew, Wash, three weeks aga The high-powered, fast ship proved not only expensive but dangerous) for the small fields which could be got for exhibition purposes. With the speed running vp above 70 miles an hour the flyer's found they had difflcul ting la alighting and In rising, and when the rhlp, Comet No. 1, although not badly damaged, fell at, Lakevlew, they deter mined to build another. . ; Today the Manning "boy" hav a new ship. Comet No. I, at the livestock fair grounds ready for flights during the fair thU week. The machine was biult'ln lees than three weeks, and Is of ' a different design, although the original plana have suffered no radical change. Comet No. I carries It inch planes, and is IS feet long from front to back. It Is equipped with the motor taken froniCmet-N,-ithr Mirers power, eight-cylinder machine, but Is built to make a speed of only about IS miles an hour. It will carry two persons. . , , . .

Despite the fact that Comet No. 2 suffered a heavy fall, the engine was not 'damaged in the least because held firm tn, place on the steel bed, which lld not give way. Another departure in construction was the use of rubber ised silk in covering he planes The eilk weighs' less than the ordinary net ting used In air machine, and 1 said tx be much stronger.

I HOW TO CARE FOR SPARK PLUGS Much Trouble Could Be Avoid ed by Little Attention and Kerosene. Much of the trouble with spark plugs becoming dirty can be avoided to a large extent by not speeding or racing- the en gine while idle. The high speed causes the oil in the crank case to be splashed up on the walls of cylinders and into the plugs. This oil is then carbonised by the heat of the explosions, causing short circuits In the plugs. The electrlo dlsoharge instead of tak ing place between the points of the plug, creeps across the carbon deposit whioh kills the life of the spark, thus oauslng the cylinder to mias fire. Much of the carbon deposit in cylinders can be avoided by. giving the inside of the cylinders bath of ' kerosene oil fre quently. This should be done, while the engine Is warm, immediately after returning from a trip. , t Remove the plugs an sauirt one-third quart of kerosene Into each cylinder. taking pains to squirt the oil around on the walls aa much as possible. Replace the plugs and let stand several hours. Tbssitart--tha-eng1ne to bum-out --thf ou, ana carnon mat has been loosened. A dense smoke will issue from the muffler exhaust until all the kerosene is burned. Clean the plugs and the engine will run without a miss if the other part are mechanically rlcht Borne spark plugs are designed to be taken, apart for cleaning, while others are not made to take apart, but Instead are self-cleaning tq a certain dearee. In cleaning plugs that can be taken apart first remove the poroelain core and brush off the carbon deposit with a tooth brush dipped In gaaollne or am monia, then scrape off all the carbon from the rest of the plug, brighten the spark points, and reassemble. Plugs that cannot be taken apart easily should be brushed out well with ammonia and the points, brightened. , Most people. are at a loss to know how to set spark plug points so as to get the best and most even explosions in all cylinders. After, oleanin the plug, parts thoroughly, screw them to gether. Then if you can slip a new silver dime between the points, the dis tance is correct Otherwise make the distance between the points to equal the thickness of a dime. .- ; -s"- ..Mersrjrx.
