Much complaint is being made
among the tOwboat captains which

law, which went into effect on Febru-
airy first last. requiring all tow tOats
towing barges Iound for this port
to shorten their hawsers in the lower
Chesapeake bay to seventy-fve faith

The shippers claim that it is a very
difficult and dangerous matter 10
shorten up when there is a heavy
sea running in the bay. and that sew
eral Of them have had narrow es
capes from parting their tow lines
while complying with the Law in this
respect.
II is also said that the tOws are Sc

the maneuvering which is necessary
in connection with the taking in Of

AT Rheims I was especially i'm
pressed with the peculiar advantages
which the various types of a%eroplanes
possess. AS l flew about the course I
saw many machines that had become
stalled before completing their flights.
This was due in most cases, I think,
to the use of ~air-cooled motors, and
the accidents which befell Bleriot both
at Rheims and Breseia while using an
ai~r-cooled motor impressed me with the
idea that possibly his successful flight
across the English Channel was in no
small measure due to the rain cooling
his motor.
"Bleriot is very we'll liked me is as

aeroplanes for Hampton's. He says:
1.-THE %aeroplane itself-the planes, the
rudder, the method of control and the
other features which enter into its sta
bility--has reached a point where sug-
gestions of possible changes must be
considered as mere speculation. l do
not believe that much can be done to
further develop flying machines along
this line.
IT have had most of my experience
with a fast machine, built for speed
rather than for long flights or severe
tests of endurance. Such a machine
an aerial racer-must be built of light
material and with a minimum support
ing surface. The motor must be capa-
BILE of high power without o~verheating
and the propeller must be designed
especially for high speed. 1t has been
generally believed, because of the ex-
cellent achievements of Bleriot and
Latham, that the monoplane offered the
best design for a fast machine. but in
my opinion the necessity of making the
plane extra strong on account of its
