BETTER ROADS

ia build and maintain roads tharl
VIII sustain the growing automobile
traffic IS getting to be problem oil
very serious proportions. 1t is al
most impossible to build roads with
scft covering that will last for any
appreciable length of time when there
is much heavy trucking done over
them. The wheels are bound to wear
through the covering to the fOunda-
ton rocks, and there you are, bounc-
ing over the stones that cannot be
kept covered.
On the other hand, If hard cover
ing is to be maintained. the cost is
almost prohibitiye. Also the hard
covering is so injurious to horses
continually travelling over it that
much of this sort Of covering will put
horses entirely out of business.
There is an example Of hard COW
cred road not many miles from the
Banner Office that cost for It's con
struction at the rate OF Twenty-Five
thousand dollars per mile. If that be
a. fair sample of the cost of such con.
struction, how much of that sort of
road is likely to be built during the
next few years? ia
1t would be quite natural to say
that If the automobiles and trucks are
the cause Of the poor condition of our
highways, then they, through taxes
and license fees, should be compelled
to keep the roads in proper condit-
ion. But automobiles are already
contributing about all one can reason
ably ask of them, considering the
fact that they can be used only a

manner. This was followed by a vio-
Lin solo by Franklin Marryott.
One of the most pleasant numbers

DR.. H. d. Zandt. His tenor voice, a
marvel for n nearing the seventy
milestone. He sang you and l." and
Sometime. Dear Heart" Liberal en-
cores greeted each number and en-

the police to a more determined ef-
fort to find some trace of her miss
ing daughter, who in company with
Miss Carmello Polambo, disappeared
on Saturday last and OF whom no
trace has been found by the par
ents.
Mrs. Golina says that She will will
ingly forgive her daughter If she will
but return or send some word as to
her Whereabouts. The two girls left
town on the six o'clock train Saturday
night and had in mind a trip to New
York city, where they were going to
seek employment in a moving picture
studio. A clue was received from
New York several days ago telling that
they were seen in that city but moth

The balloon itself was piloted by a
Mr.. Sheridan. Garnerin sat in a
car attached to the parachute. Here
is his story Of the descent:
"The sky was clear, tho moment
favorable. l threw down my FLAG
to endeavor to show to the people
assembled that | was on the point
Of cutting the cord that suspended
me between heaven and earth.
II made every necessary DISPOSE
ton, prepared my ballast and
measured with my eye the vast
space that separated me from tho
rest of the human race.

were just. I then took out my

~ YOT merely through diff
II culties but through the
miasma Of a century's
phantasy has the art Of
mechanical flight slowly emerged to
success. Through three stages it has
passed-the absurd, the probable and
the practical.
1t has succeeded despite the weird
Ideas and still weirder experiments
Of impossible enthusiasts, and by
strange freak of fortune it has de-
veloped along two individual lines.
From the earliest pages of record
ed history the idea of mechanical
flight by means of wings has gripped
mankind This theory Of the heavier
thanair principle remained supreme
until Pilatre de Rogier electrified
the world in November, 1888, at La
Muette in the Bots de Boulogne, by
the first human ascent, which was
made in the presence of the regal
family of France.
That ascent was made in "Mont-
golfere," or the famous hot air bal
loon invented by the brothers Mont
golfer of Annonay. Think of stand
ing upon a fragile platform beneath
q silk envelope throwing hay onto
q blazing fire beneath it, while the
heated fumes from the fire filled
the silk envelope and carried it up
toward the skies, and you have a
true measure Of the supreme courage
of the worlds first aeronaut.
Alternately feeding hay to the
blazing furnace and then putting out
incipient fires in the fabric with
wet sponge, Rogier completed the
first dramatic flight through the air
in the presence of thousands. The
fates which protected the superb
courage of Rogier on this initial
flight deserted him on succeeding
attempt, when he tried to drive one

unfolding of my parachute. /
saw that all my calculations were
just, and my mind remained calm
and serene.
II endeavored to modulate my
gravltation, and the oscillation
which I experienced increased in
proportion as approached the
breeze that blows in the middle
regions. Nearly ten minutes had
elapsed, and l felt that the more
time | took in descending, the
safer should reach the ground.
"At length I perceived thou
sands of persons, some on horse
back, others on foot, following me.
all of whom encouraged me by
their wishes while they opened their
arms to receive me.
II came near the earth and, after
one bound, landed and quilted the

to me pressed me in his arms; but.

myself in detaching the principal

The Earliest Crude Balloon
Ascension

sails and iron wings. All these were
tried with varying results-some
ludicrous, some pathetic, but the
majority tragic.
The first serious attempt to con-
troll a balloon was made by a French
aeronaut named Blanchard in 1885.
1t was during this attempt that the
first successful flight across the Eng
lish Channel was made. In this
flight Blanchard was accompanied
by DR.. Jetfres, an American prac-
titioner, resident at the time in Eng
land.
The balloon was inflated on the
top of Shakespeare Cliffs, outside
the town of Dover. AS soon as the
task was completed the two intrepid
aeronauts entered the fimsy car sus-
pended beneath the balloon. They
carried with them each an oar, with
which it was their intention to strike
upon the air in much the same man
ner as an oar strikes the water in
order to drive rowboat along.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon of
January 7, 1885, the two men took
their places in the car and the bal
loon was pushed over the edge of
the cliffs by the men who had been
employed for the purpose. 1t was
at this stage that the project was al
most wrecked. The balloon descended
rapidly and the car touched the
water. The two men pitched out
ballast as fast as they could and the
balloon slowly rose
For two hours they lowered over
the English Channel, strenuously
beating the air with their oars in
futile attempt to drive the balloon
against the wind.
The car was filled with books and
instruments. These one by one went
overheard in a PROLONGED fight TO re-
tain suspension. Finally, when near
ing the French coast, the intrepid
aeronauts had even to abandon some
of their clothing, in order to reduce
the weight which was holding the
balloon down.
Shortly after o'clock in the af-
tcrnoon the wind changed and they
passed over Cape Blanc Nez and

Such was Madras idea Of aerial nav
igation. 1t was necessary idea
based on the helicopter, whose sole
virtue lay in its ability to ascend
vertically and its possible chance Of
moving forward by pitting vertical
force against a horizontal force and
allowing the difference in favor of
the latter to push the machine along
a parallel line with the earth.
But these ideas were put forward
when the steam engine was the chief
means of power; put forward before
the glders of Lillienthal and others
had been successfully flown without
motive power. They were based on
the known power of a marine screw
and the resulting theory that what
could be done in water could be done
in the air.
There is no doubt that the hell
copter can be produced. In other
words, a machine can be built with
vertical screws that will rise straight
into the air. The question is whether
in view Of the rise OF the airplane
such a machine would be Of any ma

gasoline engine would supply power
