This problem has been neatly met by the Dodson company. The fireproof building as now completed is 66 feet by 120 feet, and is assembled in three units, each 66 by 40 feet.

DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBE[[cutoff]]
'OLD TIEMRS' AND PUBLIC THRILLED AT FLYING MEET

Trade Aviation Has Test at Kokomo, Ind.
BY MORROW KRUM
Kokomo, Ind., Sept. 23.—[Special.]— "All of Howard county" is assembled today on the Curtiss company Indiana flying field watching the first flying meet in this city. There probably are 25,000 persons catching their breath with every loop of the airmen. At the same time, the fathers and leaders of the flying game are here taking the pulse of commercial aviation. 
Some of the Experts. 
There is Matty Laird, builder of the Laird swallow, from Wichita, Kas.; R. W. (Shorty) Schroeder, holder of the world's altitude record; Buck Weaver, who has been flying since 1911; Al Johnson, builder and distributor from Dayton, O.; Stanley E. Knauss, sales manager of the Stout Aircraft company in Detroit, Mich.; Bill Fagley, founder of the first national guard unit in America, and Ross Jacobs, made famous by one flight by bringing the pictures of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight for use in THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.
There were on the deadline and in the air more than fifty airplanes. There were De Havilands, Jennies, Canucks, Standards, Fokkers, Swallows, Orioles, and SE-5, a Spad, a Morane Parasol, an old time Farman, and two others that have not been named. 
These ships are all used for commercial purposes and for sport. The entire afternoon was given over to stunt flying, altitude tests, speed co[[damaged]] tests, gliding contests, passenger ca[[damaged]] rying feats. 
Dog Uses Parachute. 
There was a parachute jump by a dog and another jump by a man. At no minute during the afternoon have all the ships been on the ground at one time. Yet there was not even a wing skid broken; not even a suspicion of a crash.
