SHIP OF THE FUTURE

Capacity of the Hydroplane to Be Shown.

FASTEST CRAFT ON WATER

American Superiority to Be Shown at Mississippi Power Boat Association Regatta, to Be Held at ^Dubuque, la., on July 3, 4, 5 and 6.

When W. H. Fauber of bicycle crank hanger fame, invented the hydroplane, he conceited and perfected what many people believe Is the ship of the future a craft the design of which will revolutionize water transportation and will eventually make ocean voyages at the rate of a hundred miles an hour a reality.

A hydroplane is exactly what the name Implies: Hydro—(water), plane —(skim)—a water skimmer.

Skip a flat pebble over the surface of water and If it skims or planes right It will go a long ways, because there is no resistance and the power behind It Is sufficient. Throw a rock, with twice or three times the force, through, instead of over the water, and It stops almost instantly. This Is the principle of the hydroplane. Instead of encountering and displacing the water, creating a suction and a

W. H. FAUBER,

Inventor of the Hydroplane.-

friction like the old-style boat, ttie hydroplane, through its design, is forced to the top of the water, then glides over instead of through it. Therefore the hydroplane boat has as much greater opportunity for speed over the old-style boat as the rock you "skip" has over one pushed through the water.

The bow of the hydroplane has a knife-like cutting edge and a peculiar flare which, under speed, brings the bow up out of the water. The bottom is flat and wide and from near the bow to the stern at regular intervals are notches or steps, like the teeth of a saw pointed backward. Under speed aid Is drawn under the boat by these steps and the boat has a continual tendency to leap out of the water. The result Is that when speed Is attained the hydroplane Is skimming over the surface of the water, scarcely touching it at all excepting for the stern. There is very little resistance, and powerful motors running at high speed are, therefore, able to push this style of boat over the water at a terrific speed.

While all countries, especially France and England, have been making experiments with the hydroplane,

SIR JOHN THORNCROFT,

Exponent of the Hydroplane.

the first great American meeting of these ships of the future will be at the Mississippi Valley Power Boat association's annual races and regatta at Dubuque, la., July 3, 4, 5 and 6. The greatest hjdroplanes in the world will be at this big racing event, and W. H. Fauber, inventor of the craft, predicts world records will be broken In every class.

Illustrative that hydroplane racing is in reality a millionaire's sport and the hydroplane itself a millionaire's plaything, Is the entrance of the "Dixie IV." In these races. She was built in New York for Frederick K. Burnham, vice-commodore of the Motor Boat Club of America, and owner of the first, second and third "Dixies," which for years have held undisputed title to world's records for speed. "Dixie IV." cost $45,000.

Dubuque expects 19 of these great boats at the races, besides a score of smaller ones and hundreds of ordinary power boats. The committees are preparing to entertain 50,000 people lrom all parts of the country, and the Mississippi Valley event promises to be the greatest and most Interesting water competition since the last effort of Sir Thomas Lipton to lift the American cup.

WOMEN MAY AVOID OPERATIONS

By taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound The following letter from Mrs. Orville Rock will prove how unwise it is for women to submit to the dangers of a surgical operation when it may be avoided by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She was lour weeks in the hospital and came home suffering worse than before.

Here is lier own statement. Paw Paw, Mich.—"Two years ago I suffered very severely with a dis^placement. I could not be on my feet for

a long time. My I a a me for seven months without much relief and at last sent me to ^Vnu Arbor for jan operation. I was there four weeks and came home suffering worse than before.

My mother advised —lnie to try Lydia

L- Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I did. Today I am well and strong and do all my own housework. 1 owe my health to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and advise my friends who are atilicted with anv female complaint to try it."—Mrs. OKVILLK ROCK,11. li. No. 5, Paw Paw, Michigan.

If you are ill do not drag along until an operation is necessary, but at once take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

For thirty years it has been the standard remedy for women's ills, and lias positively restored the health of thousands of women. Why don't you try it?
