10TH BIRTHDAY
 OF AVIATION

The men of the air will celebrate to- day the twentieth birthday of the aero

In aeronauticaI circles the anniversary has become known as langley Day" when the aviators of tn ewor1d pay their tribute of respect to the heart broken inventor whose attempts to construct a. heavier r-than-air-, flying machine, although crowned with sue cess won for him nothing but derision and ridicu1t Tn fact, pr. Langley was laughed into his grave, for he wither- ed under the blasting jeers directed at him and his machine, which was dub bed .fLang1ey's Folly Those scien- lists and journalists who led the ribald chorus might appropriately celebrate Langley Day'' by wearing saezcloth and ashes, or by rolling peanut with a toothpick through a mile or two of crowded streets.
 .Lang1ey's Folly the machine which caused the world to break into pea1s of laughter when, after short. flight, ie dropped into the Potomac just twenty years ago to-day, is still in existence To-day it appears to be a very crude machine, but in trials made in the last few years it has vindicated itself and it's in- ventor. In 1903 Prof. Langley built a machine large enough to carry a man, but this failed in actual opera tion Accident after accident occur red to prevent it from being launch ed Finally Prof. Lang1ey's funds were exhausted, and he abandoned his experiments without the machine ever having been free in the air. His health was undermined by the ridi- cule heaped upon his unsuccessful at tempts, and he died a little more than ten years ago. He had not worked in vain, however. for his aeronautic

experiments were of immense value to the Wright brothers and others who carried to successful completion the conquest of the air.
 I4ang1ey's latest model, that of 1905, has since been tested by Glenn H. Curtis at Lake Keuka. On its first trial it arose from the surface of the lake under it's own. power and sailed steadily along it's course despite puff fly wind The langley ma chine did more than demonstrate its ability to fly for it lifted from the water a to- tai weight of 1,I7o pounds, or $40, pounds more than its inventor design ed it to carry. Except for floats at tached to enable it to rise from the water and alight upon the water, the machine was almost exactly as it was when the faulty launchings were made over the Potomac by the pioneer in Ventor. The wings were rebuilt be- cause the old cloth was torn and use- less.

Quinineless Quinine Found Among Supplies
 Serbs Got From Italy

Nish. Serbia, May 6-Huge sup plies of medicines furnished the Serbs long ago by the Italians, and found here by the Bulgariansi re- gently, have on examination been de- clared to be badly falsified-so badly as to be absolutely worthless as med icines. Five hundred quinine tablets, for instance, proved to contain no trace of quinine; other ''medicines'' supposed to contain various ingredi- ents were found to possess little more than fnagnesia and chalk; disinfectant tablets labelled as containing specific quantities of certain chemicals proved to have only a small percentage of the labelled disinfectants.
 Bulgarian doctors, in condenining the entire lot of medicines as having little if any value, have forbidden their use by the Bulgars.
