sized bonfire out of them.
What good did the men who put up
the money for the pamphlets get out OF
them or their distribution? Absolute
" none. Their knowledge OF the
value of advertising went for nothing
because they did not use good met
hods. They tried to reach the inter-
ior OF the homes in a way that is al.
most sure to fail. The pamphlets
made good bonfire material, and that
was all they did accomplish. Had
they been handbills instead of pam
phlets they would have appealed to
the youngsters as equally good for
building a fire. They were thrown on
the porches or placed in the mail
boxes without the knowledge or ex'
pectation of the people in the house,
and there was nothing to prevent their

Uncle Sam Should Blush.

Our Uncle Samuel ought to be
heartily ashamed of himself. Yes: he
ought. There is no question about it
at all. Here he has been and went
and gone and-but wait, just read
this from the American Lumberman
and then you can see 1t all for your
self. .- >.,"~
"The persistency with which the
general government pursues its boot
less search for trust methods in the
lumber circles of the country smacks
of puerile pertinacity and defenseless
impertinence. The representative OF q
government bureau, it is reported, has
lately "examinedu certain priv ate
interests on the Pacific coast for the
ostensible purpose of exposing trust
methods in quarters where such q
thing is manifestly impossible.
This inquisition, in progress now
for years, has resulted in the exposure
of nothing discriminating. That fact
of and by itself ought to have made it
perfectly clear to anybody in the pos
session of normal faculties that
nothing OF the kind has or can have
any existence in fact. The unquali.
fed willingness with which suspected
persons have voluntarily and uni
formly submitted to Investigations OF
the kind under review might alone
have convinced any sane, well.mean-
ing person that there was nothing to
conceal, nothing to fear.
It ought not to be out of order to
demand that quests of the offensive
kind described be stopped; that further
unwarranted impertinence of like
character be either terminated or that
just cause be shown why it should
continue. The offense has reached a
point marking the limits of endurance
and patience. Individual rights as
we'll as subsection to the law are alike
enjoined by it, and those rights ough1
to be respected and enforced. The
thing has gone lar enough"

Under favorable weather conditions a
green student can finish his course at
the new school and qualify as An aviator
in about a month. Capt. Chambers tells
me.
Life preservers are worn by the student
hydro-aeronauts. In the two nearest
views, showing Mr.. Curtiss and Lieut.
Ellyson in the Triad, you will note that
first one and then the other has the
control wheel. These snapshots illustrate
one of the novel features of this hydro
aeroplane-the "shift control" The lever
supporting the wheel can be thrust over
at any time. thus enabling the instruc-
tor to hand the control over to his
pupil at any time, or the student avi-
ator to hand 1t back to the teacher
should an emergency arise. This is
vast Improvement upon the old Curtiss
machine, wherein instructor and pupil
had to sit tandem fashion-one in front
of the other-using the same control.
The Wright machine at the new flying
academy has not yet been fitted with
water-gear, but an improved hydroplane
will soon be adapted to 1t.
That the Triad is not only valuable for
war purposes and pleasure flights but for
making trains was demonstrated the
other day to Capt. Chambers. who has
flown in the machine with both Mr.. Cur
tiss and Lieut.. Ellyson. He became so

"Is the hydro-aeroplane as safe as the

Much safer. When you come down in

Three young naval officers have been
trained by Curtiss and the Wrights to
captain the water-beetle squadron. These
are Lieut.. Theodore G.. Ellyson, a Vir-

All of the Annapolis cadets are already
wild to try their wings. but no such busi-
ness will be allowed to take their minds
off their books.
AS soon as a student at the new school
qualities as a hydro-aviator the fact will
be entered upon his record in the Navy
Department files. Having mastered the
handling, care and maintenance of the
hydro-aeroplane. he must finally qualify
as pilot. according to the rules Of the
international federation, afore mentioned.
In other words, in the presence of a COM
mittee of the Aero Club of America he
must cut figure eight five times around
two flags flown from buoys. 1,5oO feet
apart and then land within 150 feet of an
established mark. He must do all of this
twice over. making ten turns in all and
two landings. When Lieut.. Ellyson was
qualifying he made his first landing d.
rectly alongside the mark-a white flag
buoyed by bottle-and his second land
ing within ten feet of it. This official test
also requires the student aviator to
ascend above fifty meters tabout 80 feet).
and when Ellyson was qualifying In this
part of the test he made double the re-
quired altitude.
