The Avro Biplane( 1910.

The AyrO Biplane( 1910.
The Avro biplane appeared in 1910
with a 35 horsepower water cooled en-
ginc. 1t was extremely lightly con
structed, but it was exceedingly strong
1t made numerous cross-country flights
one to Brighton and back. In it's prin
ciples it was the same as the modern
tinct step in that it was the ancestor o.
the small fast fighting machine of to
day.
The year 1911 was remarkable for the
abandonment by NJ. Farman of the from.
elevator, and his adoption of e~levatoI
control at the tail alone, his being al
ready the custom in m~onoplanes. The
resulting biplane retained the genera
Farman characteristics, but the pilot
and passenger sat out in front on a
kind of ladder, apparently like paupers
without any visible means of support.
These machines We're much faster
than the older types, because of the re.
duction of head resistance. Later this
ladder was boxed in and covered with
fabric. something as in the first Voisin
and SO became what is now called a
'nacelle''-French for cradle.
This 1911 Farman became the ances-
tor of the ''pusher', machines with a
gun in front, commonly called gun
buses"
The Newport, 1911
Another notable machine of 1911 was
the monoplane of the brothers Edouard
and Charles de Nieuporr. This had a
body, bluff in front, and tapering
aft. The pilot and passenger sat close
together inside, with only their heads
and shoulders projecting.
The machine was .streamlined' to
the utmost to reduce head-resistance,
The under.carriage was reduced remark
ably, consisting as it did of three VS.
Of steel tube, of streamline section, con-
to a single longitudinal horizon
tai skid.
1t was very fast, and with only a so
horsepower Gnome engine, did about 70.
miles an hour. With d doubie-roW
Gnome IA cylinders of the 80 horse
power type, supposed to give 100 horse
power, but giving about 10 horsepower.
it reached between so and 80 miles an
hour. In the Gordon-Bennet race in the
Isle of Sheppey, in 1911, the winner, M.
Waymann, averaged 1915 miles an hour,
round a triangular course, sc that he
must have done 80 miles an hour along
the straights.
The streamlined, al~i-including body
OF the Newport wac distinctly the
original of the body of the modern fast
tractor biplanes.
The Avro In 1912
The Avro Of 1912 was the pioneer
of the rotary-engined tractor biplanes
OF today. The engine "a SO horse
power Gnome) was neatly cowled Ii
and 1t had many features which are
still u~nimproved.

Henri Farman, has long been expert

RAILWAY RATES
TO Be ADVANCED
Public Treasury WIN Be Relieved
Of Burden Of Meeting Deficits
In Earnings.
EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return OF Roads
Arouses Interest at the Ma
tional Capital.
EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.

washington-!The national poll on
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With SO per cent. of
the editors giving 1t as their impartial
opinion that the public favors an early
return Of the railroads to their own
ers and only IL per cent. favoring Gov
eminent ownership or operation, the
members of Congress of both polit-
ical parties propose to provide speed
fly for the legislation to make 1t pos
sibIe to restore the roads to private
management before the end Of the
year.
In Congress there is general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
l. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved of the bur
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General of Railroads states
that the increase in rates thus far Is
about rs per cent. as compared with
an increase in operating costs of from
so to 30 per cent
q Greater naturalization of public
control of transportation-a single
public control in the Federal Govern
ment In place of 40 masters In the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations.
8. Legalization of consultations and
common use of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest.
4. Assurance through an act Of Con-
gress that In the future the Govern
ment will approve of rates for freight |
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the roads,
and that will yield d sufficient income
on capital to attract the $75O,OOO,OOO
to $1,000,000000 of new capital need
ed every year for the expansion of rail-
road facilities.
How the States voted in the nation
al poll of editors on the question of
the return of the railroads to private
management Is shown by the following
chart. That the railroad question is a
bipartisan issue Is plain from q
study of the table:

METHODISTS SHOULD
GATHER new ZEAL
Centenary an Inspiration Says
Dr.. Fisher.

DR.. Fred Fisher of New York. who
has been assistant executive secre-
tary Of the Methodist Centenary
drive, has turned his entire organiza-
tion to the job Of mobilizing Method
ism in Columbus, June 20 to July 10.
In outlining the campaign he has
placed before $4,000 committeeman of
the Methodist Church, he, says: I'VE
must stress four things. First, this
will be big Victory Celebration.
The Methodists of the United States
have lived more in the past year than
in any 10 previous years of their ex-
istence. Now is the time for them
to get together and celebrate their
victory.
I'm the second place, this is an OPP
portunity for Methodists to have Wis
ualized the scenes and activities of
which they have been talking for the
past year, but of which they have no
personal knowledge. OF these $4,000
men, only a negligible per cent has
ever had the opportunity of going
abroad. At the celebration they can
get the trip around the world at their
convenience.
Third, this is the time to finish
the job to gather inspiration and in
formation to enable the organized
workers in the church to carry out
the program which has been mapped
out for the next four years.
Fourth, and most important of all,
if the Celebration realizes the ideals
which those who are back of it hold,
it must be the inspiration for plan
ming work for the next century. AS
we look upon the marvels that have
been accomplished we should gather
new faith and new zeal for enter
prises that can be measured only in
terms of another century. We must
in words weld ourselves together in
great spiritual purpose to strike
the bulls eye"
DR.. Fisher indicated that $50 train
ed executives, in addition to the 49,
900 volunteer workers, will stimulate
interest in the Centenary Celebration
during the next six weeks.

DOC TAGS ARE
NOW ON HAND

]. R. Janey, tax assessor. who
is burdened with the job of as
sessing the dog tax also, assures
us that he now has the necessary
tags, and it is now up to you to
tag your dog or dogs.
Mr.. Janey is not much delight
ed with his part of the job, es-
pecially since he is now dunned
for $78 worth of Office Supplies
and tags for the prosecution of
the work, and so far has regis
cred about 500 dogs at 15c per
cur, fyste, collie or hound pup,
leaving him in the hole about So
and his labor in the matter.
Trustee Rogers is not pleased
very much with it, either, as he
has been been doing a good por-
tion of the work assisting Mr..
Janey, and his emolument is
zero.
It is some legislative measure
-one of those democratic onus-
es, heaped for the people on the
people.
