they have had little inclination to meet people or

If there is any romance connected with their
flying machine, it is the fact that at time
they themselves decided that flight was Inpos-
sible and were about ready to discontinue their
experiments. They knew by actual test that a
plane Of given size and shape. driven through
the air at a certain speed would buoy them up.

There is nothing strange or unnatural about
the Wright brothers. They not dream
ers They had heaven-sent visions. They
made no discoveries by accident, They worked
out every detail scientifically and made every
piece of machinery in worlmanlke way They
simply developed the gliding machine, which
they conceived a toy.
If there is any secret connected with their
cess, it is this They learned what they found it
to be necessary for them to know, and did not
guess, or take anybody else's statements for it.
When they wanted motor they studied motors.
When they wanted to know something of air
pressures, and air resistance they read the text
books upon the subject, and then made their own
tests often demonstrating that the statements OF
the text books not correct

the average American is the fact that their sue

Il is politics"
We followed this plan with great sue

to know that when your daughter is ty-

lovers knots and Is introducing new
variety OF scream every half minute, she
Is only showing her dissatisfaction with
