We are of the opinion that the new
year will see much progress in aero
nautics not only in America. but in all
the civilized nations that have taken
up the art Of flying. Better motors.
greater speed and Improvement in de-
tails are some Of the things we expect
IN connection with the aeroplane. n
Is almost certain also that flying WI
be taken up by amateurs to great
extent during the next few months.
Two big events that will arouse world
Wide interest will be held in America
namely. the Gordon Bennett interna-
tional balloon race and the Gordon
bennett flying machine cup event
Both Of these will add much zeal to
the flying business and are sure to put
aeronautics on q stronger basis in the
United States.
My brother and will probably be
busy manufacturing aeroplanes in
l91O. We expect to do little II any
hying ourselves and will devote what
time We have to the scientific end of
the business in the hope Of bringing
our machine to greater perfection. One
other thing that We expect to do in the
new year Is to build some racing ma
chimes. We have never built a ma
chine especially for speed. The one
We built for the United States govern
ment was faster than our others. but
II was not designed for speed as much
as Tor capacity and long distance fly
ing But our intentions are to build
a machine especially designed for rae
irS.

died with 1t. A new awakening has
come with the new year. This ell
lightenment will make slow but gra0
ual progress with the women of the
nation.
The more fortunate woman has
awakened to the fact of her obligation
to the self supporting woman not only
In the way of charity. but in methods
that do away with the necessity of
charity. The woman who has every
thing is beginning to realize that she
has it in her power to enforce condi-
ions wherein women less fortunate
may, benefit by her influence. The wo-
man suffrage movement is producing
this effect. The antiwomen. who are
unable to appreciate this, are still sat
isfied with the subordinate position Of
the sex in general-praisewort per-
haps. in some respects. but far from
an elevated standard.
II the suffrage bill, as now promises.
