Washington, May 80 In govern

was expressed at the news OF the
death Of wilbur Wright. His connec-
tion with the governments IN the ear.

the army signal corps headquarters.
During these visits. Brigadier General
James Allen, chief signal officer Of
the army said today there never was
time when Wilbur Wright showed
any doubt Of his ability to do exactly
what he had undertaken. or made ex-
travagant claims for his machine

hour and the same day carried a pas
senger on a short flight. soon after
Wilbur Wright went to France where
he made better records in a dupli-
cate machine.
General Allen today paid high
tribute to Wilbur and Orville Wright.
ITO them,@ he said, "is due the great
credit Of first publicly demonstrating
to the world the practicability Of dy-
mamie flight. The success OF the
Wright brothers was not due to chance
or to any accident at discovery, but
to their persistence, daring and intel
Iigence in scientifically working out
the different parts which go to make
up their machine and practically test
ing the same in flight"
The Wright brothers received me-
dal and thanks from congress and al
SO a medal from the Smithsonian in
stitution for their achievements.
President Taft, who presented the
gold medals granted by congress to
Wilbur Wright and his brother Orvilie,
and who had frequently seen Mr..
Wright fly. today dictated The fol
lowing statement:
4 am sorry that the father CT the
great new science of aeronautics is
dead, and that he has not oeen per
mitted to live to see The wonderful
development that is sure to follow
along the primary lines which he laid
down. He deserves to stand with Full
ton, Stephenson and Bell"

Under cloudIess sky, 10000 spec

the country assembled today at The
indianapolis speedway for tae great
est event Of the automoDils wofld-
the second annual running o. the
American 500 mile swsepstaKes-
They came to see "a of the most fam
GUS drivers and cars battle for non
or and fortune in the greatest race
of motordom.
The course, washed clean OF its
black and dangerous coat Of grease,
accumulated during weeks OF prac-
tice grind, glistened in the sunlight
when the big motors pulled out along
the repair pits, swarming with mech
anicians Harround and his Marmon
last year did the distance in 6;42:OS,
and every pilot today was determined
to cut this mark in his effort to
come in on the $4,000 offered for the
winner Of the race.
With an explosive roar OF the ohor-
nous engines, especially built fer
this ultimate test of speed and en-
durance, the cars came together at
the electric timing wire at $3.50. In q
tumult of cheering, Starter Wagner
let the cars go at 10 o'clock.
Teddy Tetzlaff and his Fiat made
the first round of 21k miles in
1:4S.49. Then he lost the lead to
Ralph de Palma. De Palma held his
lead at the 20 miles, which he cover
ed in 1928, bettering the old record
of 1929, set by Marquis in an Isotta
at Los Angeles.
Spencer Wishart in second Mer-
cedes, kept at De Palma's rear
wheels, with Bruce-Brown, National,
third. Ormsby's Opel broke its gaso-
line and he drew out .
At fifty miles, De Palma still led
and was ahead of the record. Bruce
Brown came into second place and
Mulford (Knox) crept into third. The
terrible pace began to tell on tires.
Johnny jenkins came into the stretch
with one tire of his White whipping

periously, put Jenkins held 1t true.
Zengers 5 ltz cast tire hign in the
air, but he, too, came safely to his
pit. Worlds records went down
throughout the first 100 lliles. De

Bruce-Brown withdrew his Nation

De Palma continued to pun ahead
at the 20 mile mark just half the
distance His time was s:OSsS4, just
14K minutes better than Bruce
Browns time last year ne Palma
made 300 miles in s:4S:21, beating
Harroun's time last year 1904. Ills
average was 500 miles an hour.
De Palma's National No 5 went
into second and Burman's Cutting
was running third at 300 miles. Fia
No. was forced back to fourth place
by stop at the pits.
De Palma was about three laps
ahead Of National No. at $50 miles,
his time being 4:1s:S5-2:55 better
than last years time. De Palma had
increased his lead to four laps when
he completed his four hundredth mile

EVERY MOVE CREATES SOUND
Acuteness of Hearing Among the Lower Animals.

It is very difficult to make some per- sons believe that nothing can move without making a sound, although it may seem to be absolute silence to them. Everything that moves dis turbs the air around it and sets up a kind of wave motion that spreads through the atmosphere in all direc- tions. When these wave motions are strong enough sound is heard. That nothing is heard is no evidence that there is no sound, for other living things may hear what men cannot.
 The motion that is started in the air when anything vibrates or moves suddenly has often been compared to the motion of the surface of still wa ter when we drop a pebble into a pond. But there Is this great differ ence. The eye can see the wave made by the smallest glass bead you can find, but the ear is not nearly so sen- sitive, and unless the waves are pret. ty high in the atmosphere the human ear cannot detect them as sound.
 The lower animals and birds have much better ears than human beings. A dog will prick up it's ears at the sound of it's masters voice, or 6 faint whistle, when 1t is an astonishing dis tance off. A man in Baltimore put his head out of the window and called his dog Jack, which he thought was chas- ing cats in the grounds of ths blind asylum opposite.
 The dog was sitting on the steps of friends house with the mans daugh- ter, nearly half mile away, and in- stantly jumped up and tore off home. It had heard that call.
 A deer has been known to look up at the sound of footstep that was still half a u.ile away in the woods.

ADD TO GRACE OF COSTUME
Overskirts, in Moderate Form, Bid Fair to Be Feature of the
 Spring Brooks.

While overskirts pure and simple have not yet arrived in such numbers as to be noticeable, the trend in that direction is very evident. They are sure to arrive before long. The tunic Is becoming more of drapery every day, and it is very probable that by spring the looped overskirt, though called tunic, will have arrived
 This year the tunic is in many in stances the most important part of he costume. It is made all in one piece, cut to swathe the figure, and Is ] kind of princess made short enough to be fastened up on one side and show tho skirt beneath. Skirts may continue to be as tight as they will, but the drapery will cover them and make the cnsemblo graceful. These tunics for the most part fasten in at one side in the front, one part lappirs over tho other.

A dainty negligee is important
 This need not be expensive.
 Some exquisite, little affairs are made of dotted swiss.
 If something warmer is desired French flannel or flannelette with scalloped edges may be chosen.
 A charming negligee is loose kimono jacket of white silk faintly patterned with rosebuds and turned back at the wrist and neck with blue charmeuse.
 Pink quilted satin lined with cream silk and made with a f1chu shaped collar of Irish point, partly yelled with pink chiffon, is luxurious garment.
 The daintiest and most becoming touch is given to the invalid's costume by the boudoir cap,
 One is of Irish lace, made over the palest shell pink silk, with roses of chiffon above the ears and the sweet lest of knotted strings--silk of the same delicate shade.
 But there is far prettier one of Flemish lace, mounted on azure charmeuse, with inner frills of the finest Valenciennes, and coquettish rosettes of ruched satin outlined with the thinnest of gold threads.
 It is a most delectable article of headgear, especially when worn by a pretty brunette, with hair coiled round 3 small and shapely head and slightly duffed round the face.
