Paris, Jan, 4.-l'rench a~eroplanists
believe the action OF the Wright com

Louis Paulhan. who was served With
papers on his arrival in New York yes

from entering the international cup

Henry Farman whose machine
Paulhan uses said today:
Although we do not employ the

we anticipated some such action as
the Wrights have taken. Before Paul
left here, therefore. it was ar
ranged that If amy effort was made
to secure an injunction the side planes
used to modify the resistance OF the
air should he removed, leaving the
machine free from the objections
which the Wrights have raised.
Regardless OF. the justice OF the.

For a good may years" said an OBJ

sometimes in fair weather, but oftener
in foul, you may see these men standing
in the streets holding out little fiat trays
covered with umbrella rings, which they
sell at five cents each or two for nickel.
1t is usually older men who are seen sell
ing umbrella rings, men presumably OF
experience in street selling, who would
not waste time in offering things that
would not sell, but, for all that, with all
the umbrella ring men that l have ever

But a very attractive young woman
who is also observing tells me that TINS

many rings to men carrying an umbrella

Need for National Sanitation.
From the Engineering Record.

Both sanitary engineers and health Of
ficers agree that in short time the sew
erage and sewage disposal problem will
be extremely serious In some quarters.
The subject is rapidly reaching a cendi-
ton, in fact, when 1t must receive the
careful attention of our lawmakers, and
the latter, depending as they do, in a
large measure, upon the wishes of their
constituents. will inevitably be influenced
by public opinion. Unfortunately, public
opinion is likely to be based on an imper-
feet knowledge, as well as on a misappre-
henson of what can and what cannot be
done by the national and state author
tiles respectively. 1t may be assumed that
the public generally recognizes a grave
danger to health in the uncontrolled dis
charge of raw sewage into streams and
lakes from which water is subsequently
drawn for drinking purposes. There is
no such general knowledge. however OF
the methods Of meeting this danger. In
Great Brita n, where par lament passes
laws for the whole country, sanitation is
a national matter. The same is true in
tie Kingdom of Prussia. Whether or no,
it can be considered true of the United
States remains to be seen. Under our
Constitution the powers of the severa:
states and the nation are clearly defined,
in a sense but tie definitions are neces-
sarily so broad that their practical ap-
plication leads to much controversy. The
time has come, however. when 1t is
these several rights and powers may be-
and for this r asOn President Taft's sug-
Gestions In his annual message regarding
q national board of health deserve to be
considered very thoughtfully by those in
terested in sanitary affairs.
