result Is that he glldes forward and

At the MineoIa field on Long island
Charles X. Hamilton in al Curtiss bi-
plane recently did some surprising
stunts. Cutting figure eishts in the
air were among his most commonplace
performances. One of his most dare
devil feats was stopping his engine at
a great height and dropping to the
earth. When It seemed that he would
be dashed to certain death he would
start his engine again. elevate his
planes aud glide away. He would also
swoop down to within q few feet
of the heads Of spectators. causing
them to scatter in all directions. then
rise again and sweep away until be

A Few Aeroplane Thrillers.
Since the first public exhibition by
the Wrigbts the aeroplane. has made
marked advance and accomplished
many thrilling feats. In France VII
bur Wright had the kings and nota'
bles Of the world bis eager spectators.
Afterward Orville Wright at Fort Myer
fulfilled all the government require
ments. making straightaway flight
to Alexandria and return without
alightIng. also breaking the record by
remaining In the air with a, passenger
for more than an hour. Later In Ger
many Orville repeated the triumphs OF
Wilbur in France. making at one time
a 1000 foot ascension, the highest VI,
to that time. Another notable aero
plane feat by the Wright brothers was
Wilbur's circling of the statue Of Lib,
erty and Grants tomb during the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration In New York.
OF late the Wrights have settled
down to manufacturing and training
operators. They never did fly in prize
contests. Their whole purpose now Is
to protect their patents and perfect the
aeroplane as commercial proposition

reached Its highest standard under
Santos Dumont In France and Count
Zeppelin in Germany. The aeroplane
Is an American invention. Since its
advent the balloon, dirigible or other
wise, has become back number. The
gas bag, which rises on the same prin-
ciple as does a bubble In water, may
be all right for county fairs, but for
real air travel It Is out Of 1t, passe and
has-been.
The mechanical arrangement Of the
aeroplane Is simplicity itself. For ex-
ample, take the machine used by Glenn
II. Curtiss in his fight from Albany to
New York, a distance Of 100 miles.
The same principles are Involved IN
this as in the Wright biplane, as evil
denced by the suit Of the Wright
brothers against Curtiss for infringe.
ment Of patent. The two sustaining
planes Of the Curtiss machine are
thirty feet from tip to tip and four
feet apart. The seat Of the operator
and the engine are situated between
these planes, the screw propeller being
Just behind the engine. The steering
wheel is Immediately ir front OF the
operator and controls both the eleva
tion planes. which are ahead. aud the
steering rudder In the rear. The eleva-
tior planes are controlled by back
ward and forward motion Of the
wheel. the steering rudder by turn
Of the wheel, as on n ship or an auto
mobile. The equilibrium planes are at
the ends Of the main sustaining planes
and are controlled by q movement Of
the operators body. which also moves
the back of his seat. which In turn is
connected with the planes by means Of
wires The same motion that Tits one
Of these planes downward tips the
other upward. Thus If the operator
feels the left end Of his machine drop
ping he leans to the right, which is
the natural movement for him to
make. This motion carries with It the
back of his seat. which tips the left
hand equilibrium plane upward and
the right hand one downward, thus re-
storing balance. For shutting off the
engine be presses foot pedal, which
short circuits It: otherwise the engine
Is controlled by levers Mt his hand.
We're Off!
After starting the motor the opera
tor takes his seat, attendants In the
meantime hanging on to the machine

the aeroplane starts forward on Its
three wheels until 1t gains sufficient

LAMY AGAIN
IN LIMELIGHT
This Time Twas Beautiful
Colorado Heiress
Kidnapped
SLEUTHs FORGOT TO EAT
Ia Anxiety to Locate Her---She
Is Found Near
Denver.

A hurry call was sent from Denver,
Colo, today and for some hours it
kept railway officials of the Santa Fe
and local newspaper men on the qui
viye, for it was nothing less than an
urgent request to find out if Dorrin
Jones, the beautiful fourteen year old
daughter of a Colorado mining man,
had been kidnapped, or murdered. She
was last seen alive at Lamy Friday
travelling from Los Angeles to visit
her uncle in Denver, and her rela-
tives and friends in Denver were
greatly alarmed. 1t was a second
time in few days that Lamy, quiet,
resttful, unoffending Lamy, had been
in the limelight as a kidnapping
center.
But after three hours of work, the
officials and the newspaper men and
the detectives wished they had not
swallowed their dinner so hastily. for
at 1:30 p. m. a dispatch was received
at the office of the New Mexican an
nouncing that Miss Jones had at asst
been found in Colorado and she is
safe.
Here is the story;
Miss Jones lived in Silyerton, Colo,
and some time ago went to California
to visit relatives and enjoy the sea
breezes of the coast. She started
home and met with no mishap. When
the train stopped at Lamy she got out
of the Pullman and sent a telegram
to her uncle in Denver saying she
would arrive there Saturday, August
q. AS she did not put in an appear
ance alarm was felt that she might
have become confused and missed the
train or had taken the wrong train.
Considering her youthfulness it was
also feared that she might have been
kidnapped or murdered. Word was sent
over the line and the train crews and
Pullman porters were questioned and
asked to try to get a clue as to where
she went.
The local agent Of the Santa Fe,
Harvey Lutz, wired and telephoned Of
ficials at Lamy and persons at the FL
Ortiz hotel to try to get clue as to
the whereabouts of Miss Jones and all
of the hotel registers of Santa Fe
were carefully examined but without
any success.
Mr.. Lutz suggested the theory that
the girl might have been lost upon ar
irving in Denver, as officials at Lamy
or La Junta, Colo, could not fnd
trace of her
The danger of young people travel
ing alone and getting out at stations
has occasionally been emphasized by
similar occurrences, but the people at
Lamy are wondering why would-be
kidnapers are laying the scene of
their Charley Ross stories in their
quiet burg.

DELEGATE ANDREWS AS
A MAGAZINE WRITER,
Rewards New Mexico Offers To
Those Who Work.

Hon. William H. Andrews, delegate
in Congress from New Mexico, has
jumped into magazine work. He has
written an article on New Mexico
which is published in Leslies Week
ly dated September 1 and which has
just arrived in the city.
In this article Mr.. Andrews tells of
the splendid rewards that New Mex.
leo holds out for those who will work
for them. Mr.. Andrews has travelled
over New Mexico On trains and in car
riages; he knows of the resources of
this commonwealth and he extols
them at the same time emphasizing
the Importance of work.
There was some interest today
among politicians and their friends at
the rumor that Mr., Andrews had as
sumed the role of political forecaster
and told the names of the two men
who will represent the new state in
the Senate Eyes, did say who would
represent the territory in that ca
pacity,' said Mr.. Andrews, with that
shrewd look in his eye that has be-
come a part Of it. Il said the man
who has the most votes will be the
winner
Mr.. Andrews spent the day calling
on friends and acquaintances and
much amusement was EXPRESSED by
one person he called on at the pieces
of confetti that stuck to the dele.
gates gray suit. 1t seems the dele.
gate had selected hack that served
as a bridal coach early this morning
and the confetti had not entirely been
brushed from these seats.

EDUCATIONAL
PROGRESS FINE
Statistics for Past Year by
Superintendent of Public
instruction
$4,000 PUPILS ARE ENROLLED
More Than Three Quarters of
Million Dollars Expended
Since Last July.

Territorial superintendent of Public
instruction James Z. Clark in prepar-
ing his annual report for the annual
report of Governor Mills to the secre-
tary of the interior, mas complied the
following statistics which demonstrate
the magnificent strides forward that
the cause of public education is max
ing in New Mexico.
The enrolment for the past school
year was $4,000, against $4,000 the
year before. In addition, 5000 pupils
were enrolled in private and sectarian
schools, making 65 per cent of all
persons between the ages of and 81,
or practically all persons of compul-
sorry school age, proving that the
compulsory school attendance law is
being strictly enforced.
The average daily attendance in
creased from $4,000 the year before to
$1,000 or 65 per cent of the enroll
ment, a very good showing when the
shifting population is taken into con-
sideratiOn.
The enrolment at the institutes
held this summer was 1926, against
1,1O9 last year. Six hundred teachers
attended for four weeks and 165 for
eight weeks. AS there were 1852
( teachers employed as against 1920
last year, and the city teachers are
exempt from attendance at institutes,
the above figures show that practical
ly every teacher required by law to
do so, attended the summer normal
institutes and the figures of attend
ance are not surpassed in any other
commonwealth.
During the past fiscal year, $791 900
were expended for public school pur-
poses, Or S14 per enrolled pupil. The
value of the public school property ex-
ceeds a million dollars, while the
bonded indebtedness is 100000.
Since 1897, the superintendent of
public instruction has issued $500
county teachers certificates, and the
territorial board of education has
granted $50 professional certificates
of which 80 are life certificates.
