RAPID ADVANCEMENT
IN CONQUEST OF AIR
First Flight Made in 1908 by
OrvilIe Wright.

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE re-
markable advance made IN the sci
ence Of aviation since Orville Wright
made the first public flights in the
heavier-than-air machine at Fort
Myer, Va. in 1908. is the subject of
statement compiled by the war de-
partment and Just made public. AL
though the honor of inventing and
utilizing the aeroplane belongs to
the United States. 1t is disclosed that
virtually all the advances made in
the utilization Of the air machines
have been accomplished by foreign
airmen, principally Frenchmen.
In 1909, the records show, the great
est height attained by heavier
ier-than-air machine was l,45O feet
The mark now stands at more than
10000 feet, while the height of some-
thing over 10000 feet has been at
tanned by a dirigible balloon. The
aeroplanes, however, have demon
strated that they can rise higher and
much more rapidly than the balloon
type of aircraft. and for that reason
their efficiency in a military sense
is regarded as much greater.
In both speed and duration OF
flight the strides made since 1909
have been remarkable. In that year
the speed record was forty-eight miles
an hour, while the length of time
that machine kept in the air was
four hours and seventeen minutes.
The present record for speed now Is
1899 miles per hour made by We
drines. of France, while another
Frenchman, Tourney, raised the rec
ord for duration of flight 10 thlr-
teen hours and seventeen minutes.

M'ADOO AND BRYAN

Rushed Through.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. May H.
The Wilson currency bin is being
written by Secretary OF the Treasury
AIcAdoo, with the assistance and sug-
gestlon of Secretary o. State Bryan.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
information the House committee on
benking and currency, with Repre-
sentative Carter Glass. of Virginia,
as chairman, the Wilson currency bill
will be placed in its hands, the Presi-
dental whip will crack as it cracked
when the Wilson Underwood free
trade tariff bill was launched. and
the new measure will be on its way
to be damned through the House.
The President is very solicitous
about the personnel of this House
committee There are five or six va
cancies to be filled. The names of
possible members have been sub
mitted to the President. If they pass
the examination he will put the
stamp 20. X" upon them.
None of the Senators on the bank
ing and currency committee. have
been consulted by President Wilson.
AS in the case of the tariff bill, the
president will 60 ahead with his own
theories and then notify the House
and Senate that he desired their ac-
ceptanoe. With House committee
of his own selection he VIII have
smooth sailing in that body.
Mr.. Bryan is expected to ineorpor-
ate many OF his views in the cur
rency reform legislation.

FIGHT FOR PUBLIC
TARIFF HEARINGS
Test of Strength on Revision
Tomorrow = Opposition
Wins Democrats.

WASHINGTON. D. G.. May t.
The Senate will give its first show
of strength on the tariff bill tomor-
row. when the motion of Senator
Simmons to refer the bill to the
finance committee and the amends
ment of Senator Penrose to have pub
lie hearings on the bill will be voted
upon.
Republican leaders hope to force the
finance committee to grant hearings.
Friday, when the question was raised,
enough Democrats we're ready to vote
with the Republicans to order that
more hearings be granted. Since then
Democratic leaders have been work.
ing hard with the members who have
been threatening to line up with tho
hearings. They have won some OF
them over But as fast as they win
one back another breaks off the reser-
walton. It was because the Demo-
cratic leaders saw they would be
beaten in a test vote Friday that add
day was brought about for the pur-
pose Of giving the leaders time to
line up their forces.
If the Republican leaders succeed
In forcing the Democrats to grant
hearings they will regard 1t as an
important victory. At the same time
they say that if the Democrats sue
coed in blocking the demands for
hearings the Democrats will be the
ones who viii be criticized for it.
Pressure on Democratic Senators 10

bill is intense.

PROGRESSIVES' LAWS
WIN IN CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO, Cal, May 1.-THE
fortieth California Legislature ad-
iourns today with practically I'M
broken record of victory for the
progressive majority in the carrying
out of the administration pohcles
outlined by Governor Hiram w
johnson.
The much discussed anti-alien land
holding bill, which has become the
nub of an international controversy
can hardly be listed among these, for
while it had its inception in the ma
iority side of the Legislature. 81
parties were united in their desire
for a law that would restrict the
tenure of farm property by the
Japanese.
The so-called administrative pro-
gram may be summarized briefly as
follows:
workman's compensation act
which creates a State insurance
fund.
Mothers pension act, establishing q
fund for the benefit of orphans.
Rural credits commission to study
European systems.
Minimum wage act, establishing
welfare commission
Corporation commission to have
supervision over investment securi-
ties.
Non partisan primary election laws
State Civil Service Commission tt
control practically all non-electivt
positions.
State Water Commission, control
ling power and irrigation supplies.

EXAMS TODAY IN
RURAL SCHOOLS
State Board President Writes
Pupils Encouragingly
About Bugaboo.

TRENTON. y. j., May 12.-Effi
cheney tests In English are being con-
Quoted under the. direction of the
State Board of Education in all the
rural schools of the State today. The
examination Is confined only TO the
highest grammar school pupils and is
not for the purpose of determining
the pupils fitness for promotion to
the high school, but solely for finding
the efficiency of the pupils in this
subject.
William G. Schauffier, president of
the State board, has written letter
to the pupils, who are required to an
swer the same. This answer is
turned over to the local teachers, who
in turn forward the averages to the
State board for State rating.
Similar tests will be conducted in
the city schools of Newark in June.
Mr.. Sehauffler's letter to the pupils
says:
my Dear Boys and Girls--When l
was your age, and, in fact, for many
years after that, l considered exam
nations very great hardship. l
often wondered why teachers insisted
on trying to find out. at frequent in
tervals, how little / knew.
"Since those days, I have passed
all sorts of examinations In different
languages. and have conducted many
more in a great number of subjects;
and, while still look upon an exam
ination as the bugbear of school life,
have found out that it has It's uses.
~ ~. nv
animation is TO find out what you
know about the subject. If you know
all about the multiplication table. SO
that you can repeat it backwards and
forwards. you will find any examina-
ton in that subject easy. But II the
seven times seven or the nine times
nine table Is shaky in your mind,
you will dread any examination in
the multiplication table, because you
are afraid that the teacher will hit
on your weak spot.
so you see that the only way of
not dreading an examination is to
study the subject faithfully and thor
oughly every day, and then you will
know it. and you viii have nothing
to be nervous about.
81 would like to know from each of
you what study you have been most
interested in during the past year,
and whether an examination in that
study was ever quite as difficult as
the other examination.
And I would also like to know
what use you expect to make Of what
you have learned in the grammar
school.
II shall be much interested to know
what you have TO tell me. as am
always
Your sincere friend,
"W. G. SCHAUFFLER,
"President state Board of Education"
