Develops Brdlike Faces
in Men Who Soar in Aeroplanes

three days before he flew to England.
His powerful, hooked nose and heavy,
determined chin We're remarkable
enough. Allied to his eyes, the face of
the bird-man was well nigh perfect.
Bleriot's eyes are extraordinarily pierre
elusive, metallic CLEAN. At first | did
not understand it, but later on an ap-
probation of ii came to me-. Bleriot
has literally fought the air. Time and
again, in experiments more daring than
other men would essay, he has fallen
nearly to his death. But he has
struggled grimly on, fighting forces
only partly known. That has brought
the sombre light into his eyes-ran UNI,
equal, fiercely waged conflict with the
forces of nature.
But apart altogether from features
n eyes, Bleriot's face. the face OF
Sommef, the newcomer in aviation, n
the faces of the other flying men, hold
not divine. Even when seen among
other men they hold the eye. In them
there is something altogether unusual
some expression, intangible, but there
none the less, which betrays that they
are of a new type of men.
Hubert Latham for instance. Never
could there be a clearer type of the
bird-man. AS he talks to you his sleepy
eyes-in which lie hidden ~slumbering
fires of firm r~esolution-are wandering
about the sky. For minutes on end he
will follow the flight of a bird.
Through powerful glasses l have ac-
tually been able to study the face of
the bird-man Latham as he has flown
in circles at Sangatte in his prelim-
mary tests for the cross-channel at
tempt. The expression on his face as
he flies is altogether remarkable; there
is, indeed. something abnormal in it.
He sits motionless on the back of his
great, vibrating bird. There is a wheel
to one hand; a second wheel to his
other hand. His feet also-set In
straps-have their work to do.
But watch his face while he is fly
ing! 1t is set hard, with a wide, far
seeing look in the big, tranquil eyes.
He seems veritably, apart from any
effort of his own, a man uplifted into.
a new sphere. Deft, dainty move
ments of his hands seem performed
almost unconsciously. His whole pose
the suggestion of his appearance-is
that of a man learning to realize a
new and glorious gift, and making use
of 1t for the first time-half- joyfully,
half-doubtfully.

man. He is a man of extraordinary
nervous energy. his muscles seem like
whipcord; he could not move slowly Il
he tried. His face is altogether remark
able. 1t betrays an arresting eager
ness. There is a strange. questioning
expression in his eyes, 1t is wonder
full to see him moving about an aero
plane. He wears an air of complete
understanding; there is something al
most caressing in the way he will touch
a spring or move a lever.
Nor must one forget Delagrange-

eyes, strong, clean-cut face, alert. sure
movements. OF all aerial pilots he

is a look on Delagrange's face which
gives entire confidence. Paul rissan-
der, too--one of Wilbur Wright's
p~upils-should be mentioned among the
'bird-men,3 He has the eyes of the

Theirs is the new sense. How many
OF us possess 1t only the coming of this
irresistible impulse to attempt flight

Bleriot, French Aviator, Has
Eyes and Nose Like Those
OF Eagle.
BY HARRY HARPER.

NEW occupations develop il men
~ new faculties. New conditions of
life, new departments of action, differ
entiate those involved in them from
their fellows. l have long felt thai avi-
ation-the encounter with a new elc-
ment-must more definitely than any
thing else evolve its type. | believe it
nized once for all that there are bird
men.
The mind can scarcely grasp the idea
as yet. But this is the fact: Every fly
ing machine yet built refuses to do it's
best performance, fails somehow to
skim and soar Is its inventor prays
that it will. unless the one man in a
thousand who is unconsciously a bird
man is at the helm. Shrewd, level
headed experts now confess it; a new
sense. a subtle new faculty, has been
discovered.
Only in a gathering of the famous
air-pilots of today is the fact forced
home upon n CHANGING from face to
face, you see the beginning of the new
type of man. 1t is amazing. Yet it is
true none the less. Everyone naturally
is conscious of the mariners eye-that
profound faraway look, gained through
scanning vast wastes of water. which
comes into the eyes of mature naviga-
tors. One thinks of this when one sees
the light that lies in the eyes of all avn
ators. There is a still. clear depth in
them-something sombre almost. as
though placed there by their incessant
watchfulness to overcome the treachery
of sudden winds. And, also, there is in
their eyes a certain fash-a strange, ar
resting, magnetic flash. 1t is the light
which darts out when, with a supple.
Infinitely dexterous turn of a lever or
a wheel. the flying man-sweepins
through the air at a breathless, confus-
ing, forty-mile-an-hour IN
the space of an earthman's gasping
breath the fearful disaster of a shud-
dering plunge to right or left.
Then, stranger still, even more ar
resting, the faces of the men who fly
are strikingly bird-like. This is the
obvious, unmistakable sign of the new
sense hat they possess. one car
scarcely imagine, for example, a more
striking instance of the bird-man's
face than that of Bleriot, the hero OF
the channel. l met him first at Calais

THE AS
SOCIAL CENTRE

The beginning is to be made next week at the Hamburg Place
School, when the assembly hall of the building will be opened to
all Corners four evenings and one Afternoon in each week. There
will be opportunity for reading, discussion, music, addresses and
other social features. Every suburban place has its clubhouse or
other social centre, and every city neighborhood should be like
wise provided. There is no better spirit than the neighborhood
spirit, where it is developed on right lines. And it is admirable
when identified with the schools. In the future construction of
schoohouses. too, some regard will be paid to the idea of the
social centre and the childrens playground, and the school roof
will not be space wasted when it can be put to the best pos
sbIe use.

A WATER CONTRACT
ISSUE IN PASSAIC

Water Company, for a water supply at nearly double the price that
Jersey City offers water for. In the late Republican primaries
Mayor Low, who favors Jersey City, was defeated for denomination
by Bird w. Spencer, who is in sympathy with East Jersey. The
old contract expired last month. and a new one must be made at
an early day. But no contract will be made under the present
administration, and the question of contract remains to be settled
by the November election and by the election or defeat of Spencer.
Naturally, the Jersey City Water Company is interested in the
Passaic city election, for if Spencer is elected the contract will in all
probability go to East Jersey. That insidious corporation has an
extraordinary hold in Passaic county, but are the people of Pas
sale prepared to deliver themselves, openeyed, into East Jersey
hands, and at such a price?
