Creator was right. after all. is the
conclusion Of the Blackburn Airplane
company. which has just produced a
flying machine which has wings
shaped like those of a seagulL
This new type combines high lift
ing power, with low resistance
against the air With these new
wings a loading Of - pounds q

experts say this will make freight
carEoes by air a success
The Pelican four ton aerial lorry''
has been built BY the Blackburn firm
TO demonstrate the new idea The
machine. a monoplane. has a wing
span Of 146 feet, is fitted with two
$50 horsepower Napier engines. and
the propellers are fitted on TO shafts
behind the plane. With one engine
running the machine can fly and
climb at a speed OF y miles an hour.
The airplane will carry four tons OF
freight, at a cost OF two shillings go
cents) a mile
BY means OF shutters near the
leading edge OF the plane the air
plane can be turned and maneuvered
with great ease Independently Of the
rudder. This surmounts the difficulty

nARIS, France. Aug 21.-France has
no intention OF trying 10 abolish
the Alsatian dialect, or even Of
attempting TO replace the dialect and
the German tongue by French
While the provinces, Alsace and
Lorraine, were in the hands OF the
Germans, the use Of French was
barred It was forbidden to teach
French IN the primary schools and
that language was known only to the
wealthy, who had private teachers for
their children But everybody in Al
SAGE, rich and poor, bourgeois and
peasant. speaks the native patois. It
is the plan Of the French government
70 keep this dialect alive.
In the long winter evenings in the
Alsatiau valleys before the war which
redeemed the provinces from Prus-
granQtarhers OF granQmothers to tell
them about France. for which the
elder generation had maintained a
profound attachment And the stories
the children listened TO were always
told in patois. For twenty years
after the disaster OF 1871 Il seemed
as II the Prussians would be able to
provinces" But they counted with
out their hosts.
Use Of French Grows Quickly
