From Editor and Publisher On. " November %.
Frank l.. Blanchard, who is conducting
the course in advertising at the 23d street
Y. NJ c. A. of New York. delivered lee
ture last Monday evening on THE Daily
Newspaper as an Advertising Medium" Mr..
Blanchard is a newspaper man of wide ex-
perience and has given much attention to
the subject of advertising. His address was
replete with information bearing on the
newspaper situation. In explaining why, of
all mediums of publicity the daily paper is
the most valuable. he said:
What are the newspapers doing for man
kind and what is the secret of their infiu-
ence? Virtually they bring to every mans
door a college education. They give him
the latest information in every department
OF human knowledge. They place him in
touch with the utter1nost parts of the earth
by telling him what happened yesterday in
Toxic, in st. Petersburg. in Rome. in Cape
Town, in Buenos Ayres and in Melbourne.

An Aerial Laboratory

The aerial laboratory at the Catholic Uni
versity is not an mpressive-looking build
ing on the outside, but in the course of the
past two years 1t has been the scene of
some very practical work In connection
with aerial flight DIR. A T. Zahm, the
professor of physics of the university, has
established number of new laws govern
ing flight conditions. His work has all
been done In the laboratory shown in the
accompanying picture.
The feature of the building is wind
tunnel, where a steady current of air is
drawn along at a speed varying from five
to forty feet per second. The speed of the
air current is regulated by a five-foot cleo
trio fan, and is recorded by a delicate
thermometer of special construction. Models
of various shapes to be tested are hung In
the moving current of air and the resist
ance they offer is measured by delicate
set of balances outside.
BY a long series of experiments DR.. Zahm
has proved that .'skin friction of air
against a balloon Is by no means neglig-
ible quantity, as had been previously be-
lieved by aeronauts and scientists. On the
contrary, the resistance of air and water
follow practically the same law In proper
ton to their density.
This Is only one of several important
facts brought out by the laboratory inves-
tigation and there is much other impor-
tant work already projected.

those that were here last month Regret
is also being expressed by many drivers OF
horses that there are so many automobiles
on the Benning road during the early and
late afternoon. just before and after The
races each day Complaint is made that
some of the chduffeurs have ignored tie
speed law and the rules of the road TO such
an extent that the safety OF drivers has
been jeopardized.
ct Is pretty sight 10 SEGA number Of

Several policemen guard the road each
afternoon, bat they cannot be at all points
al one time and it is an easy matter for
the chauffeur to regulate his speed r. ac-
cordance with the surroundings, and al Of
them know when a policeman IS in sight.
One day last week several teams of fast
horses and operators of automobiles found
it difficult task to get around the car
riages containing the morners on tie way
to a cemetery. Near 18th and II streets so
many teams appear about the same time
that 1t IS only by following the instructions
of the policetand careful driving that acct
dents are avoided
1t is stated that drivers of fast horses
give the country people as much uneasness
as those who operate automobiles.

standing army, and, in fact, of a
modest military establishment in all
its branches, a captain of marines
was some punkins" in rank, and
here, around the captains festal
board, gathered at times not only dis

but foreign ministers as well, and
President Buchanan and his Cabinet
welcomed entertainment and recrea-

Later on, when those piping times
of the fifties had given place to the
stormy scenes of the next decade,

Flag Over the Capitol.

A correspondent noting our remarks
In the issue of October l6 regarding
the display of the flag on government
buildings, sends us the following:
'Tn Washington the flag flies on all
government buildings from sun-up to
sunset 1t flies from the White House
only when the president is in IL.
When he leaves the city the flag
comes down and remains down until
his return. 1t is only within the last
ten years that the flag has been els.
played upon the capitol all day.
1T was the custom previous to 1895,
t. put up the flag on the House end of
the Capitol when that body was in
session, running it up at noon and
often pulling it down within fifteen
minutes If the House adjourned that
soon. 1t was the same way with the
Senate's end. This would often leave
the Capitol flagless for days at time
if both houses adjourned for few
days.
The Committee on Patriotic Teach
ing in the Womans Relief Corps OF
| the Department of the Potomac got
| after the members of Congress on the
matter, and soon an order was issued
| for the flag 10 be displayed on the
west front of the Capitol-that facins
| Pennsylvania avenue and the city
| from sunrise TO sunset. That, how
ever. was not exactly satisfactory, as
it left the east front. the main en-
trance to the Capitol, without flag
