A.-The nearest approach to

to turn turbine generators over

plants along down the sides of
the mountains, and then, after
securing all mechanical work of
gravitation. secure growing work
in the growth OF food plants. This
is the height at present OF human
skill in the work OF tapping ma
ture."

other. We stu have the dyna

We must use running water or
flowing winds to tap Nature; or

the Wrights had done. He pro-
duced his "Demoiselle," type of

work in the hands Of Garros,

tents himself now with regard

doing.
IF were going to make a sug-
gestion to constructors" he says,
Il would say that in my opinion
they are wrong in exaggerating
the power Of their machines.
They complain that aviation does
not develop among civilians, but
1t is because they are making 1t
too expensive. From motors of
80 horsepower they have passed
to those of 20. so, 100, 100 and
even 200 horsepower.
Machines that cost from $4,000
to $4,000 are too expensive, not
only at their first price, but es-
pecially in the cost of operation.
They are inebriates in their con-
sumption Of oil. The merest lit
tie turn out with them is a prodi-
gality. The cost per mile Of fight
with these puissant motors be-
comes recklessly extravagant.
Military aeroplanes, OF course,
must be powerful enough to go
out in all kinds of weather but I
think 1t is a grave error to seek
to force such machines upon the
market for private, civilian own
ers. The needs of sport should
especially be consulted. The
sportsman, the tourist, and even
the man who would use the aero
plane for commercial purposes,
can wait for proper weather. He
doesn't call for a machine which
can battle with all the obstacles
of the atmosphere.
"A private aeroplane should be
like a yacht-made and calcu-
lated for use In decent weather
and not IN tempests. So the con-
structors should turn their atten-
ton to the production Of the
aeroplane OF sport of simple pleas
ure, intended for fine days and
good weather, and made light and
at a low price. Machines like
that would develop a taste for
aerial sports"

What q beautiful example OF

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-05-14

We have read much about the LABOR
wars in Colorado, Michigan, West
Virginia and elsewhere. We have felt
keenly about them. But there is one
thing which we have not done, and
which we must do, not only now, but
in the future.
We must think about them. We
must think about the labor wars of
the past and present, and also we
must consider the labor wars of the
future as they break out. For they
will break out. That is the great new
thing in American life. Our laws and
our governments have so miserably
broken down that labor wars must
be reckoned on as a part of our ma
tional life.
The labor union man looks at them
from his point of view solely; the
merchant and the substantial citizen
from his; and the capitalist from his
and from no other. But unless we
think of these things more broadly we
can never solve the problem. Along
thOught-ines of prejudice and mar
roWness lies civil war, worse than
that Of fifty years ago.
Yesterday talked with man who
was a non-cOmmissioned officer of
militia in the West Virginia troubles.
He is now a hotel clerk-and he has
no social theory. He is just plain
non-commissioned officer of militia,
with a great trust in martial law. His
ideas of the strikers, the Baldwin
Feltz mine guards and the militia
were broader than those of the solid
citizen l met in law Office the same
day-because he had met the men
engaged in the war.
'The strikers, said he, were good
fellows. They were friendly with us
all the time I liked them, and so did
the other miIitiamen. Almost all of
them were Americans-and you
ought to've seen the guns they had.
