The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1911-11-02

Twenty years ago the "horseless
carriage" inspired wonder, hope,
skepticism, according to the tempera-
ment of the individual. Now we have,
in the experimental, stage, of course,
the motorless airship.
At Kill Devil Hill in North Carolina
Orville Wright is pictured in graphic
dispatches as changing aloft in the air
for nine minutes in the teeth Of fifty
mile gale" in the new style soaring
machine with which he is making ex-
periments.
The machine is simply released in a
stiff wind on hill slope and rises like
kite. Levers worked like the oars
of boat manipulate it to direct the
angle of its flight.
Mr.. Wright does not say that any
thing practical has resulted from ex-
periments with the new device, but
correspondents say that the indications
are that with practice the operator
may be able to soar like the birds upon
the breeze and 'volplane" to the earth,
upheld by air pressure under the planes
of the descending machine, when there
is not enough breeze to continue
soaring.
II the motorless airship does not aid
in the solution of any transportation
problem it seems to have possibilities
as a source Of amusement. There is
no motor to Ego dead" and cause ac-
cidents, and skiing, which is possible
only in snow covered areas, must be
tame sport compared with soaring and
volplaning Elk.

Toulon. France. Sept. 25. In
the most terrible naval disaster
IN years 268 french sailors per-
lshed in a series of explosions
which sank the battleship Liberte
in the harbor here today.
Forty others were badly wound
ed. half of them probably fatal

short circuit, ignited ammunition
IN the hold, causing three heavy
and two lesser detonations which
broke the vessel in two. The
dead perished at their posts,
martyr to discipline and duty.
These figures were contained
in official dispatches sent from
here to the marine office in Paris
several hours after the disaster
and followed preliminary in
vestlgatIon.
Torn asunder by three explo-
slons, the great man-of-war split
in halves and sank to the bottom
of the harbor shortly after six
o'clock. The first explosion oc-

many others sank to their death.

TRUSTEES WILL EXTEND
DAILY SCHOOL SESSIONS

/ Beginning next Monday, 0cto-
Der End, the daily sessions of the
lpublic schools will be extended
forty-five minutes, and students, in
stead of being released from their
studies at 2:45 p. m, as has been
the custom for a number of years
past, will be compelled to remain
until $3.50 p. m.
1t became known several weeks
ago that the trustees of the city
schools were considering the advi-
stability of extending the length Of
the daily sessions, and there was
a general protest on the part OF
patrons, who seem to be practical
ly unanimous in the belief that
the short session Is preferable to
the one Of longer duration,
In an interview with a CONNER
cial reporter member Of the
'board 6f school trustees said
that the board was compelled to.
extend the duration of the daily
sessions in order to provide time
for the work which must be ac-
complished. He said the attend
ance at both Franklin Academy,
and the Barrow Memorial School
was larger this year than ever
before, and as the teaching force
at both schools is limited there
was nothing left for the board to
do except establish longer school
hours.

THE COTTON MARKET
is SIEAOIlY DECLINING

The steady decline which has
marked the daily sessions of the
cotton market for several weeks
past continues. New low levels
were reached Tuesday, when Oc-
tober sold down to 1908 and De-
cember to 10 Il. Ten cents was
the figure set by some of the
spinners for acquiring cotton,
and some little buying resulted in
a rally. The rally. however. was
slight, October having closed at
1921 and December at 1899.
The market opened firm We'd
nesday, with prices from 8 to 5
points up. The advance, how
ever, was only temporary. and
later losses more than offset the
gain, the closing quotations hav-
ing been 5 points below those of
the previous day..

Jim Ragsdale. young white

pay a fine of ten dollars or serve
thirty days on the streets. He
could not pay his fine, so was
turned over to Street Commits
sioner Shackelford. but made his
escape soon thereafter, and has
not since been heard from.
The bicycle in question belong
ed to Master Dodson Curry. the
little son of Mrs. M. l. Elder, and
disappeared more than ten days
ago. The theft was reported to
the police. and they traced it to
a factory in South Columbus.
where it was found in the pos-
session of a negro fireman. The
coon declared that the wheel had
been left In his care by a young
white man. who said he would
call for it later, and the officers,
being impressed with the truth
of his story. told him to notify
police headquarters when the
young man called. Last Satur-
day night Ragsdale called for
the wheel, the negro true to his
promise, went to a nearby tele-
phone. and notified the police of
the fact. Officers Nickels and |
Morton responded to the call. and |

THIS COUNTY SHOULD
HAVE A TOMATO CLUB
GIRLS DESERVE A CHANCE
Only Ten Counties in the State
to be Given Work Next Year,
and Lowpdes Should

/ Lowndes county should have 6
Tomato Club.
/ A Corn Club has been organized
for the boys, and the girls should
| be given chance. They are just
as competent, just as Industrious
and just as preserving as their
male contemporaries, and should
be given equal opportunity to
demonstrate their ability as
agronomists.
Since the Tomato Club move
ment has been tried out in vari-
Gus states it has been taken over
by the United States department
! of agriculture at Washington,
and become a most important
branch Of the farmers eo-opera-
tive demonstration work. Miss
Susie V. Powell, who for some
time past has had charge of the
rural school improvement work
in Mississippi, has been appoint
ed a special agent of the depart
ment of agriculture, and will
designate the counties in which
Tomato Clubs are to be formed.
Miss Powell has very decided
and very correct views regarding
the Tomato Club experiment.
She believes in thorough devel-
opment. and will not take On
more work than can be properly
supervised. Only two counties
were tried out this year, Copiah
and Lincoln. Miss Powell knew
Lincoln county thoroughly. hav-
ing for eight years been princi-

that taAse Two counties had the |

teachers who were prepared to
make a success Of the experiment. |
The results have amply justi-
fled her ideas, the experiment |
having proven a success in every
way.
For the coming year it has
been decided to expand gradual
Iy, and to thoroughly establish
the principles of the Tomato
Club movement, it being the in
-ention of Miss Powell to estah-
ish clubs only in those counties
that will perpetually maintain

Ten clubs are to be established
Turing the ensuing year, and up

There are four more clubs to be
