Faults Of the Aeroplane.

Commercially the aeroplane is use
less in its present state. 1t cannot
carry any great weight. 1t will not
stand any extra strain and is unable
to fly unless the weather be almost
perfect Automatic stability is still in
an imperfect stage, and the motors
are not altogether reliable. Last, but
not least, it is a very expensive ma
chine, both in its first cost and in the
outlay necessary to keep it in proper
condition. These faults. as well as
many others, must be overcome be-
fore we have a practical flying ma
chine. Danger must be eliminated to
a greater degree, and to do this it Is
necessary to produce machine that
will automatically balance itself. A

chine capable Of standing any extra

sion.
Secretary Bryan was deeply inter-

OF demonstrating that the legislation

ticn with the recent action of the Ari-

States tended to impair the quality
or the treatment to which Japanese
were entitled under the general prin-

charge that the Webb act constituted

hed with laying down the law recently
regarding the sale of mean whiskey
at the disciplinary barracks at Port
Royal, s. C., at which time he said that
he would not move a peg to help build
up that place until the people had
driven the rum sellers from the region
about the station. he went a step fur
ther to-day and took the bit In his
teeth again. This time he told several
naval officers who had called to see
him that he thought officers should be
married men.
Get married or move out Of your
large quarters so that those officers
who have families may have them"
was the way he expressed the matter
to men who had called to see him.
There arc large. commodious houses
at many OF the navy yards" the Secre-
tary said, which are being used ut the
present time either by bachelors or by
men with very small families. These
should be given to men with large
families. and those with none should
cvacuate."
1t is understood that the secretary
is soon to probe into the situation and
find out even better than he knows
now Just how many bachelors are using
large houses, while officers with fam
lies are forced to make themselves
comfortable in smaller quarters. When
t!iis ls done 1t will be war on the
bachelors.
This action Is In keeping. with the
idea of the new secretary about selling
whiskey to enlisted men, and it indi-
Gates that the Tar Heel man believes
firmly In n square deal around. 1t
shows, too. the human side OF his off,
