A QUESTION TO WHICH THE SILENT
COUNTRIES GIVE NO ANSWER.

What type Of aeroplane is doing the best
work in the WARP" Mr.. Wright was asked.
We'll have to wait awhile before we can
know what's happened" said MIR. Wright
1T will be most interesting when we get the
Official reports. We can't find out much by
reading the newspapers Countless scouting
expeditions in the air are being made OF which
we hear nothing at all. The very nature OF
the activity makes it impossible that we should
be informed about It,
"I think the most important part played by
the acroplane in this war IS something OF
which, up to date no real details have been
told u.s. Scouting trips that have brought all
the armies to standstill will not be described
perhaps until after the war is over, but there
can be no question that they are being made
constantly and are of the utmost value But
scouting expeditions are not being described
by the generals for publication.
France Germany and England each claim
their machines are doing the best. Nearly
all the German machines are slow-about
sixty miles an hour. Some few fly seventy, and
very few above that. A big percentage of
French machines are biplanes; what percent.

ports OF all the generals, just speak OF the aero
plane as a scouting machine. One aeroplane
may conceivaby be of greater value than
squadron OF scouts. That is the vitality impcr-
tant service the aeroplane is rendering IN the
present war. 1t is no longer possible tor

secretly from one point to another. Arsenals
and supply wagons are being protected by aero

efficiency at high speed is greater with
biplane than monoplane.
Flying is going to be great sport some
day, but Just now the whole trend of the war
machines is for speed Flying will never be
great sport until sportsmen fly for the love
of flying
The wrong way for man to go about it
is to purchase speed machine SO powerful
he must employ some one to operate it for
him. l have known cases of the sort where
men who in other respects were splendid
sportsmen have failed to develop the proper
enthusiasm for flying because they devoted all
their energies at first to buying the most pow
erfu motor on the market. They were with
out experience in flying and hired aerial chauf-
feurs to carry them about, with the result that
they soon tired of the experiment.
Flying must be something that man wants
to do in the same way he yearns for game
of golf, and he must have the same desire to
play his own game.
There is no doubt that aeroplanes will be
used for carrying mails before long. 1t will
be only very few years. The only thing that
reliable machine.
THE mail carrying flyer must go more like
clockwork. 1t is only mechanical problem
Our school machine has been in use since
1910, and is about as good as it ever was
Motors are being improved to-day all over the
world.
When you remember that the early motor
car had a beer key for a radiator-I had a
photograph of such a continuance, but il was
lost in the food-the development OF the aero
plane has been more rapid in details than the
automobile"
A MOTORLESS MACHINE STATION
AIRY IN AIR FOR ONE MINUTE.
1t was evening. In the afternoon we had
visited the field where the Wright brothers
carried on their early experiments. 1t is only
eight miles northeast of Dayton. a trolley
line passes it, the same trolley line that passed
it then; two roads meet there, roads on which
farmers drive to town and back again, now
as they did then Nothing could be more omen
and accessible than this eghty-acre field.
Nothing could be less mysterious. IL is as
prominent in its way as the Woolworth Tower.
Mr. Wright pointed 10 machine in the shed.
1t was the one in which he made the expert
mentS at Kitty Hawk, N. C., in 1911, when he
remained stationary in the air for one minute
ard lowered over one spot fifteen feet in diam
eter for ten minutes and one second in a wind
blowing at the rate OF fifty miles an hour This
feat was accomplished without power-the
machine was motorless
That was the longest step thus taken in the
direction OF enabling to hover over a
given spot motonless, with or without power,
as long as he desires.
When will you continue those experiments,
Mr.. Wright"
He could not say Lawsuits, those who have
enjoyed them know take most of ones time

by frequent trips to and from the Russian base
they kept the column supplied with ammuni-
ton.
That is why the countries engaged in this
war are adding to their seroplanes as rapidly
as possible" said Mr.. Wright. IN England,
which was not as we'll prepared in this re-
spect as the other countries they have been
turning out sixty aeroplanes week, according
to advices have received from London.
During the last three years Germany has
spent between $4,000 900 and 100000 year
in the aeronautcal department, France has
spent like amount and England the same
Two hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars to $4,000 in the United States has
been our biggest appropriation up to this year.
The three foreign countries mentioned have
been spending between SIs,oooooo and S2o,-
100000 a year for aeroplanes and drigibles-
chiefly aeroplanes And Germany, with all
her faith in the dirigibles, has spent as much
on aeroplanes as any other country Russia
has been doing lot in the last year or so,
but l don't know how much. We don't hear
so much from Russia and Austria"
An official statement giving statistics con-
corning the flights Of the French airmen dur
ing the eight months of the war, says:
Approximately 10000 aerial reconnaissance
have been made, amounting to $4,000 hours in
the air. The distance covered was 100000
kilometres lover 1116oC0 miles, which would
amount to about forty-four times around the
earth"

Impossible TO Allow Use Funds With
out Investigating Case
First

Township Trustee Witwer declared
Saturday morning that his office was
entirely without fault in the case Of
Floyd Davis, 314 w. Sample St, who
died Friday morning as the result of
tetanuS. DR.. II. l.. Cooper, who at
tended the 16-year-Old boy, made the
assertion Friday afternoon that the
trustee had failed TO supply aid in
the form of anti-toXin in this case
where the family was too poor to
give proper aid to the boy.
The boy was injured last Saturday
by stepping on a rusty nail. He be
came i'll on Wednesday and DR.. Cooper
was called. Trustee Witwer says that
on Thursday DR.. Cooper and two
gentlemen who had secured him 10
care for the case, came to the trustees
office and sought to secure the aid
Of the county in obtaining anti
toxin for this patient.
The trustee explained that it would
be impossible for him to use any of
the county's funds without first max
ing an investigation. He suggested,
however, that the case be turned over
to DR.. +. J. Powers. county physician
so that il then might be a county case
and immediate attention be secured
at the expense of the county. Witwer
says that DR.. Cooper then left the Of
fee for the purpose Of seeking aid
from the city health office and that he
did not approach the trustee again in
reference TO the Davis case.
DR.. Powers. county physician, when
seen Saturday morning. said that he
was notified of the case Friday by
Trustee Witwer but that the attending
physician had failed to turn the case
over TO him. He says that he was UNI
able to learn more concerning than
what he was told at the trustees Of
fee when he was informed that the
trustee had advised that the case be
turned over to him as county physi-
clan.
DR.. Cooper stated Saturday morn
ing, that blame was not attached to
Trustee Witwer He said that the
trustee had done what he could do
in the case, but that apparently the
law was at fault. He said il should
be made easier for people in strin-
gent circumstances to secure medicine
