miles an hour. Fourteen is the best
It can do-that's a mile within the

The military interest was first;
then came the sporting interest.
Various nations are planning to
buy machines for their armies,
and recently the men who are low
|ers of exciting sports are ordering
machines"
The next question that arose in
my mind was, Is the machine safe
and reliable, at least as much so
as an automobile?
Orville Wright wasn't the one to
put this question. He has never
fallen through the air, feeling his
machine fall under him, and been
dashed to the earth; he has never
had companion killed. Wilbur
wright, however, had been through
these terrible experiences, and he
was the man to answer these ques-
lions.
You remember my accident at
FIT. Meyer" he asked. 1.-THE news
papers explained that incorrectly
1t wasn't the propeller that caught
in the wire; 1t was the rudder.
1--WE have fixed the rudder now
SO that it cannot possibly catch in
anything" he continued. "An ac-
Icident like that can never happen
again.
"Our machine is heavier than it
needs to be. Why, our engine
weighs so pounds per horsepower.
"Delagrange's engine weighed
"a pounds per horsepower, and
some of the French engines weigh
as low as IL pounds per horse
power, 1t is said.
You see, We want the engine
to be as reliable as we can make
It. But, IL the engine proves IN
reliable, it doesn't mean that an
accident will result. We can come
to earth, gliding easily, il the
engine stops in midair. I've done
lit many times.
"It isn't true that I've: lost my
nerve. I'm going to fly in Wash
ington soon."

DELvDlNe POOR, DUMB ANIMALS

FLUSHING, l.. l., May ia
deluded robin came to grief here
yesterday because a pretty girl
wore a peach basket hat trimmed
with artificial cherries.
The girl was walking along
broadway, near the old court
house, when the robin, on a lower
limb of tree, spied the hat and
it's trimmings. 1t hoped from its
perch onto the hat and started to
pick at the cherries.
The girl screamed and clutched
at her hat. The robins feet
caught in the trimmings and it was
held a prisoner. A man went to
the assistance of the girl and
robin.
The robin escaped.
