HOW CURTISS
WON IN SPEED
Writer Traces the Evolution
Of the Flying man"
CAREER OF CoNoUEsTs
Since His Early Experiments with
Bicycle Famous Aeronaut Has
Advanced Along Lines of
Unique Achievement

From the bicycle to the motorcycle,
from the dirigible to the aeroplane,
Glenn Curtiss' interest at each step has
developed without halt or diversion to the
limit of his ability to accomplish; and
up to the present time, at least, he may
be said to stand alone IN the realms of
speed, pure and simple, and to its pro-
Queer, power
His first exploit in this line of speed"
was In promoting the building of a hand
sled which would run faster and farther
than any other boys on the hill. He was
proficient in making and handling skate
sails; and in the summer when the boys
| collected BIRDS eggs he Yves usually the
daring one to be let down by a rope to
| holes in the cliffs, where certain birds
had their nests.
Having ridden the bicycle as fast as it
would go, he kept to work on the prob
lem of increasing its speed. He procured
castings for a small experimental gas
engine and after weeks of study and ex
pertinent installed them as an engine on
bicycle.
Curtiss' 40-horsepower motorcycle or
small automobile-for, although 1t had on
ly two wheels, 1t had a motor out of all
proportion for bicycle-proved to be the
two-mle start on the wide beach at Or
mond January "a 1907, 1t travelled
mile in &c 2-5 seconds, or at a rate of 1877
miles all hour, which is faster than any
human being has yet Travelled In any form
of vehicle, either before or since.
Having developed a motor to such a re-
marl1able state of efficiency Curtiss at
once became a factor in solving the prob
lem of flight
When Captain Baldwin built his dirigi-
BILE for the United States government,
Curtiss was commissioned to make the
motor, which he had also done for Bald
wins 10 previous dirigibles. To meet con-
tract specifications, the airship was ex-
pected to run for two hours on an en-
durance test, so it required water-eooled
motor. All the previous motors had
been air-cooled, SO this was a step in
advance of anything yet done at the Cur
tiss factory. 1t was an important con-
tract, and Curtiss and Baldwin worked
the winter through In building this air
ship, which was the first commissioned
by the United States government.
The next great influence which came
into Curtiss' life was his association with
DR.. Alexander Graham Bell
DR.. Bell had associated with him in his
experimental work Lieut.. Thomas +.
Selfridge, J. A. D. McCprdy and F. w.
Baldwin, young men who had formed the
Aerial Experimental association with the
purpose of solving the problem of flight
and Glenn Curtiss was made member
with the title of director of experiments

p Disabilities Of JeHer-
sOnjun Clubs

Now is the time to organize Jeff
Clubs. The cool weather is coming
on, and people like to meet and talk
over things in the long evenings.
Why not have little club room
in your village, where you can sit
down and read the papers and maya
zines, and discuss the news Of the
day with your neigbors?
1t won't cost much,-a few cents
a week, that's all; and you will get
many dollars worth of good out
of it in the run Of year There's
nothing like free discussion to sharp
en- a mans mind. You can talk over
farm matters, local affairs, politics,
business and even religion, if you
care to. Let it be free-for-all club,
where every one can meet everybody
else on an equal footing.
But, mind you, you must have
definite object and end in view. Let
the club stand for education-the
kind of education fellow needs
after he leaves school. Let it stand
for liberty,-not license, but free
dom. Let it be for improvement, for
the keeping down of abuses, for the
helping of the people.
We are sending out simple set of
bylaws suitable for such club. To
help in providing the literature for
the club room, we will supply The
jeff or Watson's Magazine at cost

Each club should be distinctly self

clubs, but at the same time it should
be ready to work in harmony with

Be liberal; be broad. Be awake

He wanted to deliver a message to
the people of Georgia and he selected
two places, Augusta and Atlanta. He
made his appointments and went un-
invited. He procured in Atlanta the
Auditorium and it was we'll he did,

main feature, was not allowed to de-
liver his message and the people were
disappointed. So whenever he goes
to Atlanta again he had better con-
suit the editor of the Atlanta Jour
nal, for he says:
'The people of Georgia have had
about enough Of Mr.. Watson's as
sumed dictatorship.
There is little room in the world
for a chronic and aimless kicker.

speaking at the Auditorium in
Atlanta last Friday night. When l
saw notice that Thcs. E. Watson
would address the people of Augusta
and Atlanta on certain dates so soon
after the political excitement ac-
companying the primary election of
August 23rd, | thought he would
have small audience, but it sur
passed my expectations. 1t was
evident from the beginning that the
thousands who were there were there
to hear him and had it not been for
factional tyrannical few of the
many thousands he would not have
been compelled to abandon his effort
to speak. ''Put them out" was the
cry Of determined men, many Of
whom had travelled miles to hear his
message. Mr.. Watson would wave
his hand at his friends and plead for
order. There were hundreds of
ladies present and it was better to
have stopped the speaking than for
something worse to have occurred
than exclaiming, "Hoke, Hoke,
Hoke!'' Mr.. Watson commenced with
spirit of friendliness.
had misunderstood him. that he was
not opposed to foreign missions. Our
first duty. he said, was to care for
the needy at home. That his work
was not antagonistic to the church,
that he was moving with them on
parallel lines, both trying to stir the
public conscience, both working and
trying to make the people better.
He mentioned the name of only
one man, that was Pope Brown, who
was occupying seat on the stage
nearby. He told about the platform
and that Pope was the candidate for
governor and the first thing he knew
he was down and out, but not until
month after did he learn that a
certain politician had gone to Pope
and told him that he, Watson, want
ed him to get out for the other fell
low. which he, Watson, says a great
er lie was never told He says he
went ahead and did his best, but the
contract was to put the niger out
of politics. He then commenced his
attack on the registration law He
said 10000 negroes were registered
under the law and many thousand
whites disfranchised. He said the
qualifications should be white face
and tax receipt. Watson was never
permitted to say any more.
Often in my life | have been sorry
for some preachers, who I believed
to be good men who had the saliva
ton of peoples souls in their whole
being. They would picture heaven
with it's blessings and hell with it's
curses until they were physically
worn out without getting any visible
effects. Mr.. Watson, | believe, is all
uncommon man. He is badly hated
by many bad men and a few good
men; he is dearly loved by many
good men and perhaps hated by a
few good men. 1t takes a man with
ability to write the story of France,
the genius of Napoleon, and other
books, to resurrect dead history with
accuracy.
He knows perhaps the cause Of
the downfall of other nations, being
a patriot, and like the preachers, his
whole time seems wrapped up in
good for all mankind and country.
And | am sorry for him. Some say
the world is growing better and more
civilized; some say the world is
growing worse, that the tide of
crime is greater each day. Others
say crime has been here ever since
