Now After Safety.

Orvilie Wright, the veteran flyer, said
the other day in Dayton:
"Our aim is to make flying safe. The
important thing Is not now to produce
aofoplanes that will go $50 miles an

won't fall down"
Mr. Wright smiled.
..I'm reminded of a flying story" he
went on "a story about a man who

lHe, he always feels that they might
8ave done considerably better had they

The Poultry Association believes tina,

100 per. cent better. 1t charges that the
average hen lays only 80 eggs year,
but could lay 15O without any particular

some American play that catches the
