AEROPLANE
Celebrates Its Twelfth Birth.
day Today

Washington, Dec. 1S-Tyelye yesrs
ago, on December IL. 1909, the first
successful fight Of human being in
an aeropiane driven BY mechanical
power was accomplished By OrviIIe
Wright. Over the bleak sand dunes
of Kitty Hawk, ". C., Wright sailed
for thirty-six seconds II was not a
long flight, but IT served to confirm
the wrights Of their success and to
prove that navigation of the air in
heavier-than-air machines was a real
ity.
That first fight marked the begin
ming Of a new epoch in history. Dur
ing the dozen years that have inter
vened, much has been done in the de-
velopment of the aeropIane, in the
face of its pitifuI toll of life There
is much yet to be done, for the nayi-
cation of the air is yet in its infancy
The Wrights, Wilbur and OrvfIle,
had been studying the problem Of
flight several years before they had
completed their preparations for a
trial trip away from terra firns- Men
OF greater scientific knowledge and
attainments were trying to reach the
same end. But the American young
men beat them to II" by patient and
persistent labor and the use Of their
good American brains. The European
countries were spending fortunes
backing their scientists, and placing
every known aid at their command
After the first actual fight. it took
the Wrights three more years TO
bring their machine to state of per
fection sufficient to convince a credu-
lous public that fight had been at
tanned 1t was not until 1903, when
Wilbur Wright took his aircraft to
Europe and made flights in all the
larger countries there, that the world
was aroused to full consciousness
Of the fact that the problem had been
solved
France fairly jumped at tine fnven-
tion and paid the Wrights large
sum of money for rights The French
had been working on dirigibIes and
aeropIanes with Indifferent success
for several years. With their quick
intuition, they had sensed the coming
of the flying machine The mere no
ton of fighting the Germans in the
air and among the clouds touched the
imagination of the French people
and within the past year they have
seen the actual performance
All of the nations were aroused To
the use of the flying machine as an
offensive and defensive arm Of ser
vice in war, and as a result the air
scouts are playing the most import
ant roles in the present great conflict
The eye of the great eagle that first
SCARED at Kitty Hawk, N c., doz.
en- years ago, has changed the STRAIT
egy of war.

Which Provided For Building
Of New Engine House


Tho voters Of the city will not be
confronted at the election next No
vember with the proposition of con-
structing new engine house for, By
action Of the city council at a re-
cessed meeting Wednesday evening,
the ordinance dealing with this was
repealed and the referendum thereby
becomes imperative. Another ordi-
nance, passed some time ago and au-
thorizing the sale OF the present
Third ward engine house, met with a
like fate
However, new ordinances to the
same effect were Introduced and the
one dealing with the sale of the en-
gine house property was passed un-
der suspension of the rules. Councils
purpose in this action was to knock
out the referendum which arose from
dissatisfaction of numerous north
side residents with the proposed To-
cation Of new engine house and jail
in their neighborhood.
With the referendum out of the
way and with the sale OF the present
engine house authorized, council is
now the advisabiIty of
putting up a new, structure. The sem
tfment of the members, expressed at
ter President Banning had voiced Wig
urosvu <hsorxinno IN ~,rcb q <,<S,,r~o
seemed on Wednesday evening ad-
verse to the proposal and the ordi-
nance to that effect which, after two
readings, was allowed to go over to
the next meeting will probably be de-
feated.
As a counter-proposal, President
Banning suggested the utilization Of
the old Fifth ward engine house at
the foot Of Mansfield avenue for hous-
ing the fire department. This sugges-
ton seemed to meet with the favor of
council. although there was no gen.
eral expression of opinion 1t was
pointed out that the motor fire-truck
would have a better start from this
location in case Of fire than from the
present station
Councilman Dubinsky opposed the
repealing of the old ordinances and
the passage of the new on the
grounds that the sale of the present
property to the Methodist church
w0cld mean a financial loss to the
city His vote was not supported by
other members Of council.
President Banning also spoke of
the disposition OF the money from
the sale of the present engine house.

Y. M. c. A.NOTES

In a very hotIy contested game the
Congregationalists won from the Bap-
lists by the close score Of to 8. This
was the first game of the evening and
it furnished plenty Of interest and ex-
citement for the large crowd of spec
tators who Witnessed it. At the end
Of the first half the Baptists were in
the lead with the score standing at
; to 2. but I'm the latter part of the
second half the Congregationalists
came from behind and won out by the
narrow margin of two points. Collie
played the best game for the Baptists
while the guarding and floor play of
Carl Yauger showed up best for the

PEDESTRIANS DUTY
TO WATCH TRAFFIC;
DRIVER IS FREED
Young Woman Operating
Automobile Is Not Held
for Telling Walker

Once more Judge 7. G.. Cough1in
of the city court urged this morning
that pedestrians observe the traffic
rules and thus prevent accidents
when Miss Nellie Borg of 1866 Park
avenue, was arraigned ton the charge
of reckless driving. Miss Borg was
arrested yesterday after her ma
chine had run down and injured VIII
liam Mitchell of 631 Main street.
Miss Borg recently purchased an
autoIn obiIe and yesterdaB afternoon.
Chester Erwin was demonstrating it,
showing her how to drive. Her car
was travelling north on Main street.
when Mitchell, stepping from a. car
travelling east on Fairfield avenue,
ran diagonally across the road to
catch a car going south on Main
street He was knocked down by
the car and one of the wheels wedg-
ed his right foot against the pave
ment.
The presence of mind of Erwin saw
ed the PROSTATE man as he threw in
suddenly. Miss Borg hadn't had
enough experience to know what to
do in such an emergency. In fact,
she became so confused that Mitchell,
from underneath the car, shouted for
her to move the car one way or the
other and get off my foot.
In the city court, it was shown
that the car had the license number
of Erwin on it. He was asked by
Prosecuting Attorney A. L Delaney
if he thought it wise to be demon
strating a car at Main street and
Fairfield avenue and he declared that
he didn't think seriously of it at the
time.
Because of the fact that traffic had
just been opened to autom obiIes, and
pedestrians are supposed to beware
on such an occasion, Judge CoughIin
nol1ed the charge against the driv-
er.
He issued warning for pedestrians
to observe the traffic rules and there
by lessen the number Of accidents.
Miss Borg is a stenographer. ac-
cording to the police record

gator Tonight

An Inspector to assist Health ON
Ger E. A Mcclellan viii probably be
appointed by the board of health at
their monthly meeting to be held at
O'Clock tonight. Though there
are several candidates it is believed
that the members are practically un-
an1mous on the selection of one can
didate and it is rumored about the
charities building that James G!
Grace now employed by the depart
ment may be elevated to the new post,
which carries a. yearly salary of ST.
200. while someone else may be ta-
ken in his present position at salary
of 5000.
The board win consider the reply
Of Supt. Charles Chapman of the Con-
necticut Co., in which he reports on
the methods instituted to satisfy all
patrons Of the lines with regard to
ventilation on the cars. Other mat
ters which will probably come to the
attention of the commissioners will
be the costs of various garbage incin-
GRAFTON devices with reports on drain
age and defective toilets throughout
the city.
