PosTPoNING THE OFFICIAL TEST,
oRvILLE GIVES AN ExHIBI-
TION FLIGHT.
SKILFUl Ev0LUTIoNS
LIEUTENANT LAHM TO RIDE
WITH oRviLLE ON HIS EN-
DURANGO TRIAL.

Washington.-Orvill Wright made
two and half mile flight under
very adverse conditions with BIS aero
plane at Fort Myer Monday evening
The occasion, by reason of the pres
ence of President Taft and brilliant
assemblage of Washington official
life, bore an air more social than aero
nautic.
Everybody had expected Wright to
make the first of his official tests
the so-called endurance test" of an
hour in the air with a passenger-and
nobody had forgotten that the last time
he attempted this feat, only ten
months ago, it cost the life of Lieuten-
ant Selfridge of the signal corps, and
a broken thigh and ribs for Wright
himself. That was the main reason
for the vast crowd. and beneath the
gaiety there was an undertone OF ap-
prehension.
A stiff wind caused the postpone
ment of the expected trial and all that
Wright attempted was 4 brief flight
without passenger. in order to show
the President that the aeroplane
really could fly and to avoid disap-
pointing the great crowd.
With President Taft, flanked on
either side by Speaker Cannon and
Senator Aldrich. looking on. the ma
chine was trundled to the foot of the
starting derrick in the center Of the
drill field and poised on the monorail
preparatory to the start.

1t was not until o'clock that the
Wright brothers. abandoned hope OF
undergoing the endurance test OF one
hours duration with passenger.
From early in the afternoon until that
hour, the two brothers were besieged
in their shed by cabinet ministers, dip
lomats, senators and representatives,
who had come to the reservation to
witness the flights. They wanted to
see the machine and have 1t. explained
to them They naturally were disap-
pointed when the Wrights decided not
to make the endurance test, but con-
ceded it would be better to wait for
more favorable weather.
The war department has designated
Lieutenant Lahm to accompany Or
vile Wright in his endurance flight,
which is to be witnessed by an official
board consisting of Maj. George o.

CITY LIFE HARDER
FARMERS WIFE NEED NOT ENVY
HER URBAN SISTER.
Prevalent Belief That the Former 10
a Household Drudge Disproved
by Facts-Proper Conpari.
son Of Conditions.
BY CLINTON M, SHULTZ.

BY M. |
Does the farmers wife work too
hard? Is she a greater drudge than
the city housewife? Is her health
broken by toll more quickly than that
Of the woman of the city?
1t is a prevalent belief that as com.
pared with a city housewife the
farmers wife has a harder lot in life.
We do not believe it. 1t is true that
a farmers wife, particularly in her
early days of married life, works hard,
but SO must the wife Of a city me-
chanic. The farmers wife works to
secure a home and a competence for
herself and her family and in order
that she may spend her declining
years in comfort and peace, while the
life of a mechanics wife from her
wedding day to her death is, as a rule,
a never-ending bitter truggle to make
the inadequate income of her husband
meet the demands of the family.
Very few mechanics working for day
wages ever secure a competency to
care for them in their old age. It is
hard work down to the bitter end,
and the city housewife is confined to
the narrowest social limitations and
comforts of every day life.
The farmers wife must rise early
and cook three meals a day for her
hungry husband and boys, but she has
an abundance for her table growing
at her kitchen door and is rarely
obliged to economic in food. The
mechanics wife must rise even earlier
in order to prepare her husbands
breakfast in time for him to make q
journey of four or five miles or even
greater distances in time to be at his
place when work begins, and often she
is obliged to practice the most rigid
economy in order to provide food for
her table.
The farmers wife lives in a clean
atmosphere, in a riot of sunshine and
sweet air, while the mechanics wife
often during her whole life is confined
to three or four small rooms to which
she must climb up long flights OF
stairs, and is only able to snatch an
occasional breath of air or feel the
suns warmth for an hour in a crowded
city park.
Modern cOnveniences can now be
found in thousands of f%armhouses all
over the land. Equipped with bath.
tubs, hot and cold water, acetylene
gas, telephones and every modern aid
to good living, the farmers home is far
more comfortable, on the average,
than the home of the city mechanic.
Life in a city fiat is depressing ana
has a narrowing influence upon the
lives of The telephone and
the trolley have banished the isolation
under which formerly farmers wives
suffered and have brought them into
as close relation with their relatives,
friends and neighbors as that enjoyed
by the wife of the city worker.
City life has many attractions fol
m and possesses many advan-
tages to people who have the money
to pay for them. But, taking the life
of the wife of the average farmer and
the wife of the average city mechanic,
there is a breadth and hopefulness
and sweetness and comfort for the
farm woman which can never be at.

FINE MEDALS FOR
 WRIGHT BROTHERS

Washington, June 9.-The autograph letters written by governors of states and scientific bodies, which will be present. ed to the Wright brothers tomorrow in book form at the same time that they re- ceive the Aero club medals, indicate the widespread interest in the work of these two inventors, and the views of public men regarding the future of aerial navi- gation. Some of the letters show a re- markable familiarity with the scientific problems of flight. The letter from Gov ernor Noel of Mississippi follows:
 Until very recent years the navigation of the air was limited to balloons filled with gas which were subject to no con trol as to direction of flight, driftir g with the air currents. Of late years experi- mentors of the leading nations have de- voted much time and thought to the prob lens offered of being sustained in the afr and of controlling and directing flight. The result of these endeavors has been the dirigible balloon, a spherical gas bag, whose motor power is an engine operat- ing propellers. the aeroplane, the Hilicop- ter and the ornithopter. In the solution of this problem of aerial navigation, two Americans, Wilbur and Orville Wright, have attained the largest success with the aeroplane inc cream or lew years ago has become a reality The heavier than-air machine is now accomplished fact"
 Governor Harmon of Ohio, the home state of the Wrights. who Is to take part in the ceremonies at Dayton on June IT and IS, asserts that the people of Ohio take a special pride in Wilbur and Or vile Wright because they have shown, as many others have done, that Ohio can win distinction in other ways than the furnishing of distinguished men for pub lie life in the state and nation.
 Dr. Ira Remsen, president of the Ma tional Academy of Sciences, on behalf of that body congratulates the Nrights on their wonderful success, in which he pays tribute to their personal qualifications.
