WRIGHT DISCUSSES
DANGERSTOAIRMEN
Passengers Often Cause TrOu-
BILE to Pilot of Machine.

Berlin. Dee. 3.-Orville Wright is here
10 advise the German branch of the
Wright company. He points out that the
common use of the word fall in aya-
tion accidents Is almost always a mis-
take There is q glide practically every
time. which accounts for the frequency
OF escapes from injury. Another factor
of these escapes is the breaking OF the
fall by the under parts Of the machine.
The chief danger TO an airman in
fall, he says, Is crushing by the motor
hence It is an advantage, 10 have the
motor fixed beside the driver The great
est danger to an aviator, Mr.. Wright de-
clares, arises from wind pressure on the
wings beyond what they are able TO
bear. A machine which is only seldom
used is in far better position to stand
this pressure than those which are hur-
ried from enc meeting TO another and
frequently taken to pieces
In regard 70 tying passengers 10 their
seats. Mr. Wright thinks it is often
wrongly done, He quoted the case of the
eXcitable mayor of Richmond, whom he
took up earlier in the year. His legs
and body were carefully bound, but his
arms were left free As the aeroplane
left the field the mayor waved his arms
al friends and caught the wire overhead
which controlled the motor. The motor
Immediately stopped. and the aeroplane
had only just enough impetus 10 carry il
over a large marquee filed with people.
Mr. Wright has up 10 the present
shown no intention of flying in Germany.
He says he often flies for pleasure in
America, but the peasure vanishes. with

these methods too slow and unreliable. The
cheapest and safest way to get IN form for

EVELYN Answers Her Critics

Dear Miss Thomas: Incog infers that we don I
know why we want 10 vote. We want to vote
for the purpose of doing what the men have fall
ed TO DO. He talks about voting to make a
better country for his family to live in Good
resolution. But has he done it? He has had
the governing reins in his hands for consider
able time: but what has he done--what is he
doing?
Not long ago a representative in the Georgia
legislature tried to introduce bill for the pro-
lection OF bachelors against feminine artitice.
The very idea of lawmaking man having
nothing more to think about than "bac9elor pro,
Georgia would resent it as slur on their
judgment.
The only protection he needs along this line
is a little common sense. Nov, il he had in
troduce1 a bill to prohibit children from mar
rying and succeeded In making II law, he would
have proved a blessing TO our country and might
have expected some additional stars in his
crown. when he reached the "land beyond tne
skies"
Some Of the things that we would do if en-
dowed with the power would be to pass com
pulsory school laws. To maintain that the man
who steals $4,000 is just as guilty OF theft.
just as deserving of punishment, as the FELLOW
who steals fifty piece, which our courts
sometimes fail to do.
Then. viii sweep whisky from our eoun'
try and save our boys mothers the heartaches
they would endure IL her beloved child was
on his way TO the bad" led by the demon
of drink.
And last but not least we would send into oh
livion some of the lisreputable houses which
are a shame American civilization; trap to
catch human souls and hurl them to degrada-
tion AMI ruin.
Probably Incog doesn't know that the schem.
ing politician uses soft -tongued parlance to con-
vince others besides the ladies TO vote 10
him. But of course. when he comes in con-
tact with some of the members of the ''sterner
SEX he generally has to produce something
more acknowledgements funds for instance
to bring about the desired effect
You must excuse me, IL in my other letter |
left the impression that l was referring 10 SUI
periOrity Of muscular powers OF different ac-
complishmpnts Men cannot be equalized II we
are to take into consideration the fact that one
is better farmer than another. or is better
mechanic. miner, engineer, according to their
various talents.
Men give their greatest reason why women
should not vote the that her place is
i'm the home. Then why don't of them
raise a racket about her going to the field and
doing mans work there? OF course, that does
not take up much time. while TO vote would
probably consume all of two hours In as many
years. .~.At
Mrs. r. Pisnman, know that women do not
know very much about politics, but is II any
wonder? But she could improve her education
along this line.
Why not read boks that will enlghten us on
mothers heart?
What you say about some women selling OUT
is only too true, but | don't think their number
will equal that OF the same class Of men. Come
often. l enjoy your letters.
With good wishes for Miss Thomas and all
the readers. / will close.
