Manning Brothers Develop a
Novel Business, Only One of
Kind in West, Out of Almost
' Nothing, v ' . ...

(uiljuMUIliS
Unknown to the general public there
baa developed In Portland an Industry
. like that of son In. the west. 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.
The business developed from nothing.

it Into their heads to make an aeroplane,
bl-plane, by the way, Constructed
along the lines of the Curtlss ships.
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. . , , .
. ' The Manning brothers in the con
struction of .Comet No, I. have made
what they consider many improve
ments over the standard machines be
ing manufactured by Curtlss and others
The engine bed is of steel, as was the
engine pea -or Comet No. t, and while
about five times as strong as the or
dinary wooden bed, weighs two pounds
loss. 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. The Manning
brothers are the only manufacturers of
aeroplan.es ;juslnf , the t rubberised silk,

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. .- ;

: -White' Cars, are fitted wltft four-cylinder, fourycIecngines of -extreme
simplicity. ' The four cylinders are cast in one piece, as--.
suring compactness and absolute rigidity. They are imported cast
ings, the, same as , are now in' use on. the' high-priced and high
power cars.' ' .
Perfect cooling is assured in White 'engines, a continuous watet
jacket surrounding the four cylinders. This is a great advantage
over the engine whose cylinders are cart ; 7
, . Again, the casting of the f our cyUndert in one piece makes pos
sible the greatest, improvements in years namely, the intake and
exhaust passages are made a part 01 the engine casting. A single.
" intake leads from the carburetor to the engine, and a single exhaust
leads from the engine to'the muffler, instead of four Also, but one
. water pipe. leads to and from the engine. .
- In fact, White Gas Cr engines are so complete and possess so
many advantages over other engines that they must he seen to be
appreciated. White Gas Cars are equipped with engines that pror
long the life of the car. several years over other makes of engines.
