THOUGHT LIFE NOT WORTH
LIVING.

The social life of a community is
never complete without the actiVt-
ties that include the doing OF some
thing for the betterment Of mankind
not financially, but in conformity
with the moral responsibility that
must come even outside the intiu-
ence OF the Church.
At the session of District Court
held this week, there was brought to
Judge Carter's attention OF case
of attempted suicide. In the kind
illness of his heart the Judge saw
that it was not a case in which the
law could bring about any good eff
feet. The woman who attempted
to take her life was the victim OF
dependency, due more to the lone
illness of her life and depressed
condition of mind than to any In
surmountabIe trouble.
Judge Carter thought the matter
over and finally sent for a woman
who has been an active Red Cross
worker, and whose gentle nature and
| charitable disposition well fitted her
for the undertaking of soothing the
wounded heart and bringing new
hope to the life SO unsatisfying tha'
lit had become unbearable. This
good Red Cross worker accomplish
ed her mission, and one poor life has
been made happier.
There is much suffering that is un-
known and much good work accom-
plished that does not reach the light
of day. Even in our little COM
1nunitv whnra daifv contact hriu ps
the people In touch with most hap
penings, the hand of suffering may
rest heavily upon some, and kind
hearts and deeds of charity pass un-
J covered.

CONTRIBUTION BONES OF RED
CROSS STOLEN.

CROSS STOLEN.
The criminal, juvenile or grown,
that will steal the little savings
oanks in which are deposited Red
Cross donations-the pennies and
nickles that are deposited by child
rem whose hearts have been trained
to love the work that has relieved
so much suffering, and the larger
contributions of people who drop
spare change in as the opportunity
atfords-should be hunted down and
punished. Only the utterly de-
praved in mind would be guilty of
such deed.
Yet this has happened in Coying-
ton the past week. The little bank
that stood at the receivers window
of the Commercial Bank & Trust Co,
the fruit jar with slit in the cover
at the Schonberg Pharmacy and the
one at the City Drug Store were tax
en- and not missed until too late to
note who was present at the time.
There have been various robberies
of a petty kind, even to the extent
of robbing cash registers, that have
not been traced and punished. Most
of these cases bear the juvenile
stamp. II discovery and punishment
never follow these first acts in a
criminal career, the penitentiary will
be the final goal, when 1t will be too
late, to take the blot out of life.

fastened with a cord to another

a little preponderance of weight to
act upon the back edge of the
wings; for if there be not, in some
degree, more weight behind than be-
fore, when the compressed air is
making a resistance against the
underside and back edges of the
wings, where it rushes upward
again, causing a great reaction, it
would, of course, elevate the hinder
part of the car too much.
"The wings and tail should be
made of silk, very compactly woven,
and as impervious to air as possible.
The silk which the wings are formed
of should be laid on in separate
broad slips, and should be open to
admit the air to pass through as the
wings move up, and close together
again as they come down.
ut is necessary to observe that
the car in which the man is to sit
must be entirely covered on the out
side with silk or very thin leather;
and along each side of the car the
silk or leather must be united to
the base of the wings, to prevent
as much as possible the air from
escaping anywhere but from the
back edges of the wings; should
that be neglected, when the air is
compressed by the wings being
struck downward it will rush uu-
ward through the car, and thereby
fail of giving that resistance against
the underside of the wings which

ward, making an oblique ascent.
''The projectile impulse will nat.
urally force the machine upward in
any angle in which the plane of the
wings is laid, something similar
to what may be observed in
the rising of a common paper kita
except in right angle, or perpeu-
dicular line; but the nearer the an.
gle of ascent inclines to the line Of
the horizon the easier will the ma.
chine be found to ascend. believe
pigeons can ascend very near in a
perpendicular line, but such an as.
cent would be too incommodious for
artificial flying.
"When the car is brought to r
sufficient altitude to clear the tons
Of the hills, trees, buildings, etc.
the man, by sitting little forward
on his seat, will then bring the wings
upon horizontal plane, and bv
continuing the action of the wings
he will be impelled forward in that
direction. To descend he must desist
from striking the wings, and hold
them on a level with their Joints.
the car will then gradually come
down, and when it is within five or
six feet Of the ground the man must
instantly strike the wings downward
and sit as far back as he can; no
will by this means check the projec-
tile force, and cause the car to alight
very gently, with a retrograde mo-
ton.
''The car when in the air may be
made to turn to the right or the
left, merely by the man inclining the
weight of his body to one side"

exceeds the strength Of his arms
only, and by sitting in such a posi-
ton his strength can be exerted
with far greater force than in any
other attitude whatever. He at the
same time gains an additional ad-
vantage, in this plan of mine, by
exerting his strength upon a lever.

art Of flying are these: First, ex-
pansion of wings large enough to
resist, in a sufficient degree, the
specific gravity Of whatever is at
tached to them; second, strength

To Hop Oft

Having designed, he thinks, a
real flying machine, Walker next
devoted considerable time working
out a scheme to get it off the
ground into the air. The method
he advises is both unique and I'M
expected. In it may lie the germ
for future development in getting
aircraft away from small landing
places. This is what he suggests:
II will here further illustrate
how flying is effected. The air,
when struck upon by wings, pro-
duces an effect by it's reaction
against the underside and back
edges similar to that which is
caused by the wind blowing with
sufficient force against mill sail,
when it rushes off to one side and
impels the sail to move; with this
difference only, that the sail, being
fastened at one end to an axis, is
made to revolve, while the bird,
being at full liberty in the air, is
caused, by the expansive power of
the air acting with a resisting force
against the back edges Of the wings,
to glide forward in a right line.
"After having described how to
construct machine to fly in, which
like the swift black martin (apus,
Linz cannot fly from the surface

purpose in the best manner if they
were each of them made of six long
slips Of thin whalebone, dressed
tapering to a point, then wrapped
together in a round form with small
twine from end to end, and filed
with cork along the inside. By
making them in this manner they
would spring against the air, would
be very light, and so strong that it
would be impossible to break them
with the power Of weight of any
one person. BY forming them as
above, we shall humbly initiate the
shaft of quill feather, which is
composed of a thin horny shell con-
tanning delicate light pith along
the inside"

fifty miles in an hour; or, If that
numerous class of mercantile agents
who are now denomlnated riders
henceforth be enabled to glide
through the air with great expeli-
zion in flying machines; or, if man,
by such means, can take rope to
any mariners in distress along the
sea coast, and thereby become the
happy instrument of saving their
lives; and if the circumnavigator be
able to quit his ship, fly and explore
the interior parts of a newly discov-
cred island, free from the annoy
ance and hostilities of its rude in
habitants-but it would be tedious to
enumerate all the uses to which arti-
fetal flying may be applied; it is OBJ
vious that when one man is enabled
to fly thousands may do the Same,
either on business OF pleasure"
Walker completes his treatise with
this declaration:
Il shall not abandon my purpose
Of making still further exertions TO
advance and complete an art the dis
covery of the true principles Of
which, | trust, I can with verify AZ
firm to be exclusively my own
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-10-26

enough to strike the wings with a
sufficient force to complete the
buoyancy and give a projectile mo-
ton to the machine.
"With these two requisites COM
bined, flying must be accomplished.
Upon my plan, there can be nc
doubt of wings being made as large
as ever they may be wanted; neither
ought we to doubt of mans ability
exerting himself in the way l have
described, to bring into action as
great degree of strength, in pro-
portion to his weight, as the condo,
is possessed Of"
