WAR OVER AVIATION
Dates fer Blackpooi and Doneaster
Meeting Conflict and Trouble
Follows.
(By Associated Press

LONDON. Oct. s.--Aviation, which
has not heretofore received marked
attention in Great Britain has recent
ly seized upon the country and ali
kinds OF competitions are promised T.
the next two weeks. The clash OF dates
for meetings. however. has already
led 10 a spirited correspondence In
various localities and some OF the
aviators find themselves threatened
with the ban of the International avia-
ton authorities IL the fulfill contracts
which they entered upon IN perfect in
nocence.
The trouble largely centers in the
Blackpool and Doncaster meetings.
Blackpool was the first in the
field and chose dates between
October IS and 23rd. raising
a fund of 100000 for prizes. The en-
dorsement OF the Aero Club OF Great
Britain was secured. A few days ago
the Doncaster committee suddenly
issued a program for meeting TO
commence October Is. with big list
of prizes and the names of the avia-
tors who had contracted to appear.
The Aero Club announced it's re-
fusai 20 sanction the Doncester week.
as it infringed upon thsse Ses at
Blackpool. This refussa DC to
carry with 1t the dissqh y WIZ
ayiators competing at Dohts ii
any subsequent contest under the
Aero Clubs supervision. This as
sumption of power, resembling that OF
the jockey club; has thrown the fly
ing committee into state of seeth-
ing indignatio n. The French aviators
in England and at Doncaster are
ready to dfefiy the ruling.
CaptaiH +. S. Cody. the American
aeroplagist. who is now in the service

Mrs. WI Witness Flight, and the
Minister Asks Questions.
(By Associated Press.)

COLLEGE PARK, MD, oct. ~
After breaking the worlds record Tor
flight over a closed circuit kilo-
metre in distance, Wilbur Wright to-
day predicted that he could attain a
speed of 60 to 20 miles an hour in an
aeroplane racer. He had just torn
through the air in the government
aeroplane at rate of approximately
46 miles hour. making new record
of SO 3-5 seconds for 500 metres and
return, including a turn.
To reach the higher ratio OF speed
Mr. Wright said he would reduce the
size of biplanes in the government ma
chine and at the same time tighten
their weight For racing purposes he
said he would be content with the
plant" in this aeroplane-
Following the successful flights OF
the forenoon, Mr.. Wright made two
ascensions late in the afternoon. Once
his engine seemed lazy and the aero
plane settled to the ground 200 feet
-ffrem the starting point. On one Of
the afternoon flights, Lieutenant Lahm
accompanied Mr.. Wright. On the
other Mr.. Wright. alone. repeated the
performance of the forenoon by start
ing off rail without the aid Of weights.
Lieutenant Lahm for the first time
assisted ip guiding. the machine dur
ing the flight in which he assembled,
a third lever having been installed for
the benefit of the officer, who is be-
ing taught to navigate the machine.
WI Ting Fang and Mrs. WI There.
Having delved into most other
American inventions. Minister WI
Ting Fang, of China, saw his first
aeroplane flight today and absorbed
all the information obtainable from
a rapid fire of questions directed at
Mr.. Wright and officers at the gov
eminent acropIane she'd. Mrs. WI
accompanied Mr. WI TO the field, bu,
she did not ask any questions.
II was the engine that puzzled the
minister
Where's the FREE" he inquired. He
was told something about internal
combustion engines.
SaI you ny 10 VIEW IOIh. uc
asked Lieutenant Humphrey.
Il probably could, but I would not
try" replied he.
A flight OF the machine left the i'm
pressicn with the minister that Il does
net go high enough to be out of dan
ger In time of war, and that it made
too much noise.
Wants Perfected One in China.
That's fine Mr.. Wright" he ex-
claimed as the aviator returned from
a fight. When you get 1t perfected
won't you bring one over TO China?v
For once the minister seemed 10 ap-
preciste be might have been mere
diplomatic. so he added. Its ali right
now
The minister said he would feel
sorry fer anyone who might get sick
in an seroplane. That led to his as
sert'on that h. is proof against sea-
sickness and would like to take a
ride in an aeroplane himself.
The task OF instructing the officers
OF the signal corps to manipulate the
sercplane will be continued next week
by Mr.. Wright.

EXACT LOCATION OF THE
NORTH POLE

How can an explorer tell when
he reaches the north pole? The sun
moves apparently in a circle about
the horizon. But the observer,
knowing the longitude by which he
approached, and having the Green
witch time by his chronometer,
would have simply to take, with
his sextant, repeated observations
through the day, recording the alti-
tude of the sun above the horizon.
it's bearing with reference to the
magnetic pole, and the precise time.
If no level horizon were available,
the image of the sun in a dish of
mercury gives a substitute, and if
mercury is disturbed by vibration,
a leveled mirror has been found to
give fair results. The closeness of
the measurement would depend
partly on the experience of the OBJ
server, but in some degree also on
atmospheric conditions. But a series
of reasonably good observations of
the sun at different points on the
horizon should leave little room for
serious error.-Ex.

dered who he was, but she did not
dare look into his face to see. Pres.
emily he spoke again gruffiy:
"I'm looking for Mrs, Hulda Ferry.
Can you tell me where she livesY
Anna Jane jumped. "Why, yes, 1
can," she said. "l'm going right to
her house now. live with her."
"Oh, do your said the man. ''Then
I'll accompany You home"
He did not speak again, nor did
Anna Jane. When they reached Mrs.
Ferry's little low house Anna Jane
went up the steps, and he followed.
She opened the door and went In, and
he went In too.
He tore open his long ulster and
threw of his hat.
"Anna Jane" he said. don't you
know me2"
Anna Jane tipped uncertainty, and
he caught her and put her in a chair.
"I've scared you most to death, and
I didn't mean to-" he said regretfully.
"Anna Jane" he went on earnestly,
my wife's dead. I did foolish
thing by myself and wicked one by
you when / married her, but that's
bygones and can't be helped now. I'm
ten years older and good deal wiser.
And I've come to see if-if you won't
forgive me and let me have another
chance. It's the only thing that's of
any account to me now on earth, for,
Anna Jane, love you"
He knelt down before her and put
his head In her lap. Anna Jane sat
like stif little statue. She looked
down at the big head in her lap and
the big man kneeling before her who
asked her forgiveness and said he
loved her.
She lifted her hand and let 1t fall
upon his hair. He felt the touch and
looked up.
Anna Jane" he said, '1f you don't
believe me, If you can't trust me, I'm
willing to pass the rest of my life
trying to make you-if you'll only give
ME chance"
A wan little smile went over Anna
James face, but 1t was like the first
spring sunshine, and life and Joy fol-
lowed 1t.
"Anna Jane he began again.
Slow footsteps creaked over the floor
of the next room. The door opened,
and Aunt Hulda, standing there, saw
the strange spectacle af her niece in
the arms of stranger who seemed to
have just been kissing her. Anna
James face was alight She was no
longer afraid Of Aunt Hulda or Of
anything In the world Her voice rang
out with glad little cry:
"Oh, Aunt Hulda, Joe's come! Joe's
Gomez
But 1t was left for Joe to make the
necessary explanations.
