NEWELL. SANDERS WIFE OF THE SENATOR FROM TENNESSEE

Joy the debates in the Senate very
much and / spend much time there. (
can now follow a measure through it's
stages of existence, and this lends
greater attraction in attending the de-
bates. I arrived somewhat late for
much social experience. but from the
glimpse l obtained. l can Judge that
life in Washington during the season
offers varied and repaying pleasures"
Chattanooga. owing to the promi-
nence given the battlefieTds by the
Chickamauga Society, is constantly
visited by notables. and no hostess has
been more untiring in her efforts to
make these visits pleasant than Mrs.
Sanders. During the lifetime OF tho
late Gen. Henry V. Boynton, who
was the historian of the great scene
were made to the peaks. and Mr. and
Mrs. Sanders were always ready to
end tiresome day for the explorers
by a banquet in their well equipped
home. Though charmed with life in
the east. Mrs. Sanders is. like those
who live near imposing mountain
ranges. inclined TO tire of constant
sight of houses instead Of cool woods
pleasure In the parks and forests near
Washington, and she and the senator
are among the daily visitors to tho
Rock Creek reservation and to the
Potomac. These two spots are the best
that Washington offers for those who
love nature.
Senator and Mrs. Sanders have been
attending the Calvary Baptist Church
since coming to Washington, though
they have not neglected the other
churches Of this denomination in and
about the city Mrs. Sanders taughe
Sunday school for many years at home.
and 1t is likely that she will continue
this work next winter. Senator and
Mrs. Sanders will soon go from WASH
ington TO their home in Chattanooga
and viii not return until late Novem-

three machines hard, for both expert
mental and instruction purposes. We are
now devoting considerable time to the de-
velopment of a compact. portable wire
less Geographic apparatus to be used
from the sky, also to the perfection of the
hydroplanes which keep our machines
afioat when they settle upon the water.
In the past year we have established an
aerodrome and practice field at Green
bury point. opposite Annapolis Md. Here
we will assemble some of the most up
to-date hydro-aeroplanes that We can in
duce manufacturers to build for us. First
we desire to encourage American build
ers to do the very best work possible, to
meet our requirements. Then We Will
thoroughly test out their product with
the fleet in service, and l fully anticipate
that we will still find some points in
which they can be greatly improved.
What will be the navy's ultimate
equipment in these machines"
Our ultimate aim is to equip all of the
large ships Of the service-the scouts,
cruisers and battleships and several shore
stations-with hydro-aeroplanes, so that
instruction in the use of these machines
may be continuous. To make effective
their use. we have got to use them. II
Is a question Of constant practice, the
same as gunnery.'
viii our warships have to be remod-
eled to accommodate this new class OF
auxiliary craft?"
II am now endeavoring to work that
problem out, and so arrange matters that
no changes will be required in ships de-
signs and that no great amount of super
fluous paraphernalia will have to be car
ried aboard to accommodate our ma
chimes.
THE temporary platforms which have
been used on the decks Of ships for the
launching Of our machines may always
be used as a last resort, but they would
doubtless prove to be a considerable nuf-
sance, and soon we shall probably be able
to substitute device upon which we are
experimenting and for which We have
high hopes Of ultimate success. The

same name near Denver, the grotto and
the curious peaks known as the Siamese

be inspected and rushing streams ana

Lookout mountain. The bold crags or
Point Lookout attract attention and from
there one may see the entire outline OF
the battlefield above the clouds.
Near Observation rock the breastworks
of the Confederates are still in a good
state of preservation and beyond are
the ruins of the Union hospital, where
so many of the victims of those great
battles were cared for. AS nearly all
interest centers In the exact location of
Union and Confederate troops at the bat
tie of Chickamauga, the efforts that the
state and patriotic societies have made
to locate definitely every point and to
mark II permanently may be counted one
of the most successful achievements In
this particular line. This year and last
when interest in the war between the
states has been kindled anew by the
fiftieth anniversary of the various con-
flicts. the mountains about Chattanooga
have been visited by thousands of tour
lists. Lookout battlefield is 1000 feet below
Point Lookout and Chickamauga bluff is
about 400 feet above the battlefield Of the
terrible conflict Of the name. The bat
terry attracts much attention, the spot
where Col. Alexander OF Georgia shelled
the city.
But the legends which cling about this
lovely spot are more pleasant to dwell
upon than the sad memories of these bat
ties fought between brothers. in such
glorious and beautiful part OF this earth.
Like the Catskills, we have had our

Now after all has been said about
greater safety of aeroplanes. you must
bear in mind that. regardless of how
perfect the inherent stability of ma
chimes may be made, or how promptly
perturbations may be offset by auto
matte devices, safety in flying will still
fall short of being absolute. The avn
ator will always be obliged to fly even
the perfect machine with what I have
referred to as bird instinct Skill will
always be required, and he must sense
the peculiarities of the air. as we'll as
know those of his machine. He must
have air sense and the faculty of re-
spending instantly to amy emergency.
1t is therefore very unjust to supply
him with anything short Of the most
up-to-date aeroplane and still expect
him to overcome its defects by exer-
cising his athletic prowess alone"
What Is the extent Of the navy's air
squadron at present, and what are you
doing with it,"
I'VE now have three mach1nes-all by
dro-aeroplanes. which can either rise from
or alight upon a ships deck or the sur
face of the water. These machines can
also skim over the sea. touching the sur
face. We are going to add more and
more OF these machines as the manufac-
turers turn out improvements. I regard
this type Of aeroplane Of the greatest
value in case Of war.

Mrs Sanders is conservative type
of woman. though progressive in every
recognized channel of feminine activity.
She is a native of Bloomington, Ind, the
seat of the State University. and after
finishing the high school course entered
the institute of higher education. Here she
met young Newell Sanders, then working
his way through college. The friendship

and neat little problem with which We
are now at work is to arrange sings

readily carried by the hydro-aeroplanes

the hydroplane-the long. shallow, fiat
bottomed boat-like structure upon which
each of our machines floats when rest

to me that our navy would be unable to
have enough officers detached from ships
for proper instruction in flying at shore
aerodromes, and that lessons would have
to be and could best be given aboard
ship, where all hands could be kept IA
miliar with the machines. At first my
insistence Of the hydro-aeroplane was

Conneau. who has been the winner OF
three big cross-country flights. and
whose opinion on aviation matters is
highly respected the world over-gave
out a very positive statement that he
considered the hydro-aeroplane as Of no
value. and l believe there are certain
French officers even today who do not
look upon it with favor. But we have
met with such success in the develop

try that we have spread the fever

after their marriage. They had been very

This he found In the southeastern part

in 1878 the first chilled pillow factory IN

large plow-producing plant. The growth
of this business has practically meant the
history of the development and prosperity

and yet continue to get more and more
power out of his dispositions. Take the
matter of weight in the plane surfaces
of an aeroplanes wings for example
Nearly all builders continue to put as
much weight in the tip as in the middle
of wing. AS they learn better to dis
tribute weight scientifically they will
increase the power as we'll as the safety
of aeroplanes. To save weight they now
look principally to skimping the weight
of engines.
Disposition of the plane surfaces with
respect to one another is an additional
factor in the problem of greater safety,
as are the Gambler Of planes and the de-
velopment of more flexible rear edges OF
wings. These are all questions of i'm
proving the inherent stability of the aero
plane. II now appears to me as GER

planes which have wonderful records are
also very unsafe. Miss Quimby's acci-

important task of developing an efficient

Capt Chambers IS none of your revolv-

mounts the empyrean in one of his aero
amphlbious craft. With a career In the
skies he is topping off long stretch Of
service upon the seas, including exciting
duty with the Greedy relief expedition, in

wars He was engaged In important tor
pedo development at our naval torpedo

fore he was placed in charge Of naval

a progressive, up-to-date officer. He was

ton for our then decadent navy, the
principles of which are still regarded as
safe guides to modern practice.
Wherein do the greatest perils of
aviation now lie?" 1 asked him
In combination of personality and
inherent mechanical defects" he replied.
All aviators are not endowed with the
same bird instincts, mechanical ability
and temperament number of them
are careless. Some of the most efficient
are the most careless, and the tendency
among the majority for some time has
been 10 cater 70 the popular demand for
sensational performances. II is partcu-
larry unfortunate that here in America
aeropianing has been conducted princi-
pally on exhibition basis and even
now is restricted largely 10 hippodrome
performances. The great strides of ad-
vance abroad have been made largely
IN the course of practical cross-country
flights, for which certain patriotic citi-
zens are always ready TO put up large
prizes.
But even the best aviator one can
possibly imagine is unable to anticipate
the perturbations of the wind in which
ne is flying. or the actions of the ma
chine under him. Corrections for coun-
teraoting any upsetting tendency have to
be made quickly. Time enters as an i'm
portant factor in the safety problem and
the aviator naturally does not respond
