Laux, former Winnetkan wbo is now Iocated in New York City, bas purchased tbe Stinson S. formerly owned by Dr. Ward E. Potter of Oak Park. Laux was in Chicago. on business last week and while here made trips by plane, to two other cities. Early in tbe week he flew from.Curtiss airport to St. Louis and on Friday went to janes- ville, Wis., to seen Kenneth Parker of the Parker Pen company. Mr. Laux is connected with the Hearst interests. Fly to Oklahoma City in a New Beechciraft Richard Beeler, bead of the Beech- craft airplane distributing agency in the Chicago area, and Kenneth Hunt- er, one of the Hunter brothers of endurance flight fame, left Curtiss airport last week on a trip to Okla- borna City. One of the new Beech- craft cabin ships was their means of transportation.. Leaves in New Stinson on Trip to California Waldon Sbaw, wbo owns a new Stinson wbich be iad been keeping at the Curtiss airport hangar, left last week for California, where be plans to spent the winter. Accom- panying him -on tbe trip west was "Mac" McDonough, whom *Mr. Sbaw recently engaged as pilot. Mr. Shaw bimself is a Iicensed pilot. Aeronautics Commission Plane at iCurtiss Field E. B. Cole of the Illinois Aeronau- ,ties commission arrived at Curtiss air- port last Thursday night fromt Spring- field in the commissiones officiai plane, a Stinson. The ship was Ieft at the Curtiss hangar wbile Mr. Cole trans- acted business in the City. GOES TO MEMPHIS Harry Brown of the American Weekly magazine went by plane to Louisville, Ky., and Memphis, Tenn., last week. He made the trip in bie Stinson, which is kept at tbpe Curtiss airport hangar. Post, recently returned f rom a hear hunting trip in Alaska, .took off f rom Curtiss field Mondav afternoon, with bis mechanic, Mel Mollenkopf, on a test flight.. Burning out of the clutch on this test f light has forced postponement of the stratosphere attempt for at least a week. Instead of using a specially built plane for the stratosphere flight, Post wil depend on bis "Winnie Mae" to carry hjm to a new altitude record. It i. the same ship in wvhich the veteran pilot raced around the world alone in July, 1933. His time for that history-making flight was seven days, eighteen hours and forty-nine minutes. The sbip is powvered by a Pratt and Whitney Wasp motor of 525 rated horsepower. The motor, however, is super-cbarged to develop considerahly more horsepower. Speed will be ail im.- portant factor in the plane's dash to- wards a new altitude mark. The present officiai record is 44,890 feet, set by the Italian army flyer, Renato Donati. in Rome on April 11. A rubber suit bas been prepared for Post to use in the rarefied upper at- mosphere, and the plane bas been equip- ped witb an-adjustable pitch propellor and other devices wbich will be ad- vantageous in thin air. Busy Days fo r Owsley; Reason-Hunting Season These are busy days for Dean Owsley, sportsman, pilot and resi- dent, of Spanish court, "No Man's Land." The reason, of course, is that tbe.hunting season is on. Dean. got back Iast.Friday from a hunting tnipin northern Wisconsin, H-e made the trip in bis'Stinson, taking a friend with him. Dean also finds the Illinois river near Peoria a good place to shoot ducks, and he's been there several times since the season openedi.
