VOTE DEVICE
W ISCONSIN s g s in hss shown tho w sy .
In 1917, the Wisconsin
legislature installed in the a s �
sembly tho electric voting o y s -
tem, doing away with tho old
cumbersome method.
Now, three years aftsr its in �
sta llation in the Wisconsin state
house, comes word that Francs
is considering installation of the
same electrical device. Reso�
lutions have passed the Chamber
of Deputies to inatsll such a s y s �
tem and proposals have been
asked of manufacturers.
This proposed system is the
same as that employed here.
Push buttons ars installed on
each desk, enabling the a ssem �
blyman to cast his ballot qu ick�
ly, and so all may see how he
votes. The board, on a side
wall, is equipped with electric
light bulbs, in red. white, and
blue, and each bulb records a
"no" or an "aye" vote. At the
same time, it enables a quick
record and tabulation of the t o �
tal vote cast.
Bobaraff, a young Russian of
Milwaukee, is father of the d e �
vice, and has international p a t�
ents on it. Wisconsin is the
only state in the union which
has installed this system.

AERIAL FLIV
SUCCESS IN
FIRST FLIGHT
(CO L L E G E POINT, N. Y.- j The first aerial flivver has made a successful trial
flight. The tiny plane, piloted
by Capt. Jack Foot*, is named
the Butterfly. It is designed to
carry only one person. It
weighs exactly 918 pounds, c o m �
plete, and has a wing spread of
25 feet and a guaranteed speed
of 72 miles an hour. It will sell
for $2,500.
On its trial flight the little
plane took th* air after a run
of 75 feet, circled the field s e v �
eral times and then made a per�
fect landing.
The new plane, its builders
contend, can take off and land
on the average lawn and be
parked there, or in an average
sized garage. It ie designed pri�
marily for the use of the sp orts�
man aviator.
