Vacuum Lift.
An aerofoil, or single plane, de-
rives it's lifting power by reaction
of its motion through the air upon
the two curved surfaces of the wing.
The aerofoil divides or splits the air
stream, the lower surface forcing
the air particles downward. The
curved portion of the upper surface
near the entering wedge caused the
air to be sharply detected upward
This upward motion of air creates a
vacuum above the aerofoii. The
vacuum is what really lifts an air
plane and supports about seventy
five per cent of the total load. The
shape of birds wing is almost iden-
tical with that of a common aero
foil.

AT the request of the News, Lieu
tenant Jack Frost of the aviation
service. who is a real Ely boy, has
consented to write several articles on
dying which will give the ground
squirrels an idea of what the sky
pilots and cloud pushers have to do.
The following is the first of the
series. Later the News hope to have
articles on Aerial Observation" end

The rapid and astonishing strides
which have taken place in the history
of aviation in America since the be-
ginning of the present conflict In
Europe cannot help but impress upon
the minds of those who are fully
wide awake to the development Of
aircraft that we are living In the
true aerial age" The glamour
which surrounds the actual act of
flying makes the subject of aviation
most interesting topic for both man
and child. II Is an uncommon sight
now to witness the suspension of
business while some supposedly dar-
ing fellow attempts to attract atten-
tion by performing feats of aerial
acrobatics over a thriving city. Those
who have never taken a fight often
wonder what are the sensations of
such a game.
Fear of Height.
The thrills of flying are grossly ex-
tSStfdttu. nt OfoiHdiy huhihh pC-
ing does not have a feeling of pow
err or of fear as though he were
taking a ride on a flimsy feather.
You hear a majority of PEOPLE re-
mark that they are content to re-
'nain with one. foot on good old
mother earth. 1t Is only natural
that great heights should send a shiy-
er up the spinal column, and yet this
is just what causes the average lay
man to harbor the opinion that he
never could learn to- fly. The dis
tance down to the hard ground does
not concern a flyer in the ieast--not
even on his very first trip up.
A First "Hop."
For a solid hour before was given
my first "hop" in a real airplane |

seemingly terrible ordeal ahead. The

Steel Situation
Unchanged in
Pittsburgh District

Pittsburgh, Oct. 1.-Nothing devel-
oped in the steel strike in the Pitts
burgh district today to change ma
terially the situation, strike leaders
and their organizers showed the usu-
al activity in their campaign to Grip
pie further the big plants in operation
in this territory. Steel company Of
ficials had little information to i'm
part except the daily claim that more
men are constantly applying for work
each day.
The Carnegie Steel Company main
tains that it's big works at Home
stead, Duquesne, Braddock and Clair
ton against which the unions have
concentrated their attacks, continue
to increase their production. Reports
that men are returning to work in
increa Singly larger numbers also
came from points outside of Pitts
burgh and vicinity, such as New Cas-
tie and the Sharon. Farrell field.
Satisfactory progress was the
word given out at national strike
headquarters regarding the situation
from the standpoint of the organized
steel workers. 1t was announced that
the foundry of the Jones & Laughlin
plant in this city was shut down aft
err 800 men had marched to the union
Office on the South Side and signed
membership cards.
1--WE are practically certain to close
up this plant" it was declared. The
Jones & Laughlin Company deny
there has been any serious detection
among it's men.

VOTE TO CLOSE SCHOOLS
on FAIR Benefit DAY

AItor q long discussion at the
monthly meeting Of the School
Board held Tuesday night. the meet
ing finally closed about 1890. During
the evening there were some hot dis
cussion before the board. One was in
regard to the closing Of the schools
on the date Of Wednesday, Oct. 8,
when the Benefit Field day is to be
held here for the Central Maine
fair. Carroll Perkins stated that
he thought every one should take
hold OF hands and unite in this
event. to support the fair for the
coming year, and that the schools
should be closed for the entire day.
But other members Of the board who
wanted to discuss the matter stated
that it was not best for the schools
to close, that the fair did not have
anything to do with the wenare OF
the children. and that surely a horse
trot, baseball game and other sports
were not beneficial to the students.
However, Superintendent Patten in
formed the members that If any
OF the students were absent from
their studies on that day. their pa
rents would be prosecuted. for no
pupil was permitted to be absent
from school unless their absence was
caused by sickness. The vote was
taken and the schol will be closed
on that day. but open on Columbus
day. which is generally given to the
students as a holiday.
The question about the Musicians
Union was brought up, and it seems
that those who are members Of the
union had informed the instructor in
the public schools. Miss Eva Towne,
that before they could perform the
duty along this line. it would be ne
cessary for them to first consult the
union. On account Of the union, some
OF the members claim that they were
not able to play at any school func-
ton without pay. and consequently
at the reception the other night, the
school was forced to hire music. Mr..
Patten stated that IL any pupils re-
fused to do what they were asked
to do. they would be suspended from
school. and that the decision had
met with the approval Of the board.
Carroll Perkins brought in a re-
port made by an insurance inspector
in the city which showed that the
insurance on the school building did
not conform with the 80 per cent
clause and it was voted that q COM
mittee be appointed to confer with
the mayor and city government that
proper steps may be taken for the
readjustment Of the insurance on
school buildings to conform with
tho percentage. The committee con-
sists Of Mr.. Perkins, Frank Brown
and Edward Hall. Other minor bus.
iness was transacted and the meeting
was adjourned.

probable cause was found when the
case was tried beforel the municipal
court and one man was committed 10
JAIL One woman was released on $JW
bail and two other women let out on
bonds Of 800 each.
Wednesday morning shortly after 10
o'clock the case was heard before Judge
A. A. Matthew. Carroll n. Perkins was
attorney for the State and Fred CAR
for the defendants. The case was on
warrant for common nuisance and the
respondents were Walter Swencitxky
and Mildred Reny. The witnesses wers
Marshal Harrington. Omcer Roderick,
Mary Ruttie and Letta Desmond.
The first called to the. stand was Mar
shall Harrington. who told what took
place at No. when he arrived on the
scene. He said that when he entered
the room he found some Is men and
three women drinking. but not intoxi-
Gated. He further stated that there
was 40 evidence of any intoxicating
drinks in the building.
Omcer Roderick, the second witness.
said that when he arrived he saw
number Of people going in the build
ing sober and coming out intoxicated.
When he arrived in the house he found
one in bed who was apparently in an
intoxicated condition.
Mildred Reny. the next called upon

place, stated that she was there and
that she did own a part in the place
until about four weeks ago to Swencit-
zky, whom she claimed to be the pres
emit owner.
Letta Desmond testified that she was
in the place when the Officers appeared
and that she had had drink of beer
and one drink of ''jakey' that was
given her by one Of the Is men present.
claiming that that was her first drink
Of "jakey' and that she was not intox-
icated. The witness. who has been in

she was not able to perform.
Mary Ruttie, who is known as the
washwomen at No. 9, was the second
witness. and it was claimed that she

she had had a drink of "jakey" given
by enc of the men.
The last witness, Swencitzky. said he
oil not allow any kinds Of intoxicating
drinks to be served in the house. and
that he did not allow mixed drinks.
The judge stated that there was no
question in his mind but what Sven.
citzky and Mildred Reny run the place
together. He found probable cause on
a common nuisance charge and placed
them each under $500 bond. The bond
for Mildred Reny was furnished. but
her companion being unable to secure
sufficient funds was taken downriver In
the afternoon. The other two witnesses,
known as the "washwoman" and div
ing girl" were placed under a 500 bond
each.
