PLANE FOR BUDDING AVIATOR
Well Called the Penguin, Since It
Moves Fast on Ground, but Is
Unable to Fly.

Do you know what q penguin is?
You may have read of it, but probably
never have seen one. The penguin is
an aquatic bird found In the polar re-
gionS. 1t Is remarkable for its pc
culiar structure. 1t has only stumps
in place of wings and, for that reason,
is unable to fly. But it is a good
walker and an expert swimmer and
diver. The name of penguin" has
also been given to the training ap-
paratus employed to teach prospective
aviators the control of the airplane or
seaplane. The name is well chosen.
The penguin used for training is as
unable to fly as its arctic namesake.
1t consists of an airplane with wings
so very small that the power of the
motor is unable to lift the airplane of.
the ground or water. 1t Is supplied
with ailerons, elevator, rudder and
wheels exceptionally strong for run
ming on the ground. The apprentice is
encouraged to run this penguin" to
MS hearts content; there Is no danger
that 1t will take to the air. In short
time he graduates to a real airplane
that can and does fly, and then he
can give all his attention to the flying
part without having to worry over the
handling of the various controls. The
sense of safety he enjoys while learn
Ing Is great nerve sedative to the
inexperienced aviator.

REMEDY FOR WAGE ILLS

From Wall Street and Place
In Hands Of Those Direct
Iy Concerned.

Washington.-0rganized labor has
come out with the unequivocal formal
demand that private capital be retired
from the railroads.
A tri-paEtite control, composed OF
the public, the operating management
and the employees is demanded instead.
Addressed to the Americai public
and signed by the engineers, the fire
men, the conductors and the Ameri
can Federation Of Labor, a formal
statement was issued announcing this
proposal. which will be carried before
Congress.
"It marks" says the statement, 'the
step by which organized labor passes
from demands for wage increases to
demands that the system Of profits in
industry be overhauled."
This sentence sums up, in q few
words, the proposal Of which there
have been hints and indications, but
which is now laid before the country
for the first time. Everywhere in Of.
ficial Washington It is recognized as
the most serious and far-reaching
proposition the country will be called
upon to face.
Characterizing the proposal as ia.

for the high cost Of living, because
the railroads are the key industry Of
the nation. 1t demands the genuine

The plan demands:
That private control be eliminated
from the railroads.
| That the private owners receive for
them government bonds with fixed
interest return for every honest dollar
that they have invested"
That the tri-partite control, hereto
fore referred to, be established In
corporations which shall lease the
roads and in which the public, the op
Grating managements and labor shall
be represented equally
That the public, the operators and
the wage-earners share equally al

Put End 70 MosIem Piracy.

In the sixteenth century European
civilization was menaced by the Turks.
MOslem pirates were the peril of the
seas, of which they were fast gaining
control. This danger was averted and
destroyed by Don Juan. commander
Of the Spanish feet, and his allies, the
Italian squadrons and the Venetian
and Neapolitan fleets. at naval bat
tie with the Turks in the Bay of
Lepanta. The capture of the enemy's
flagship, after the battle had ragged an
hour and half, gave Don Juan as
Surance of victory, so he hoisted the
consecrated banner of the Holy league
at the mast of the conquering galley,
where 1t could be seen by both friend
and enemy. The result was as Don
Juan expected-exultation on the part
of the Christians and depression and
encouragement on the part Of tae
Turks.
After a heavy loss, on both sides
