NEW INVENTION WILL
REDUCE AVIATION COST,

Dayton. o., July Years of eff
fort to cut down the comparatively
high cost of commercial aviation will
be realized, officials of the Dayton
Wright Airplane Company believe
with the patenting of a new wing
invented by an employe OF the com
pany, Patents now are pending in
Washington
The Wing will be controlled by the
pilot, and in coming to earth can be
so manipulated that it will arch
much as birds wing, enabling a
practically undertaking glide to earth
instead of flying at various levels
before alighting, it Is stated. Pending
it's patents the company is disclosing
nothing further regarding the ma
ture of the invention
The new wing, according to Col
onel V. E. Clark, chief engineer of
the company, will make possible a re-
duction in cost by increasing the
carrying capacity of any plane upon
which it is installed by more than
800 per cent. The same wing area
and the same low speed in landing
are retained, he said.
This will be accomplished, Col.
Clark said, by increasing the lift
coefficient 80 per cent.
1t is singular that the invention
was practically completed by a CO.
worker of the Wright brothers,.
NJ. Jacobs-an employe of the Day
ton-Wright Company for IL years. He
spent seven months working on plans
for the wing. The invention was con-
cluded under the direction of Col.
Clark.
Officials of the Dayton Wright
Company expect it to revolutionize
commercial flying. In addition to in
creasing the carrying capacity of a
plane, the wing, Col Clark said, will
make it possible to decrease the land
ing speed of 80 per cent, if the same
wings, and increase the flying speed
load is carried as with ordinary
by 25 per cent, carrying the same
load.
Most of the danger of landing will
be eliminated he said, and a flyer
will be enabled to land safely in a
small field, now one of the most
things to accomplish in
cross country flying.

MUST MAKE THE VERSAILLES
TREATY THE BASIS

Mr.. David Lawrence, our Washing
ton correspondent wrote Interestingly
Yesterday of the situation regarding
the peace resolution which ends the
war with Germany, and the attitude
of the administration on the subject.
He says that Secretary of State
Hughes has informed President Hard
ing that the Versailles treaty must
be made the basis of all treaties with
the Central powers, otherwise our
foreign affairs will be in mess. This
is but tacit admission that the Will
son idea is right, and has bene right
all the way along, namely that unless
the nations of the world could be
gotten together to work in harmony
on all matters around the table Of
peace, or the obedience to treaties
is no way to guarantee a lasting
after they are made.
Secretary Hughes has doubtless
the other Republican leaders will
some day realize if they will lay aside
partisan prejudice, that any agree
ment that will hold the European
nations to a harmonious understand
ing is good enough for the United
States to become a party to. 1t has
always seemed queer that the entire
country could not understand this,
and voted directly against the Wilson
policy, almost solely on the ground
that we should get away from Euro
pean affairs as quick as possible, for
fear that we might again become
embroiled in their troubles.
They taught the mothers of the
country that if we continued to med
die in foreign affairs that they would

truth of the matter is that American
troops are on the Rhine and will
doubtless stay there to enforce Amer
lean rights under the treaty of Ver-
'saiHes. But it is interesting to note
that Mr.. Wilson showed a greater
breadth and length of vision, than the
Republicans, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Democrats were beaten
In the last campaign VIXEN he wrote
the Versailles treaty and banded the
nations of Europe into a league for
mutual understanding and lasting
peace.

WILL HEAR BAILEY
INJUNCTION TODAY

Raleigh, July 8.-Judge Henry G.
Connor, presiding in Federal district
court here, will hear arguments today
on thirty or more cases in which the
plaintiffs are seeking to restrain j.
w. Bailey, Collector of Internal Re
venue, from assessing their property
under a provision of the Volstead
Act. The plaintiffs previously secured
injunctions against Collector Bailey
temporarily restraining him from i'm
posing double taxes and penalties or
selling their properties pending final
disposition by the court.
The injunction case regarded as of
unusual Importance and as a large
array of counsel will be on hand for
arguments, it is thought that today
will not suffice to complete the speech
making. District Attorney Aydlett
and Attorney Andrews, of the Depart
ment Of Justice, will speak for the
government and Ernest Green, Thos.
ID. Warren, James III. Pou, Judge r.
w. Winston and others will appear
for the plaintiffs.
The issue in the matter is whether
or not parties who have been acquit-
ted by juries on charges of selling or
intoxicating beverages and
parties who have not yet been tried
on such charges may be assessed for
double taxes and penalties by the
Department of International Revenue
under a provision of the Volstead
Act. The plaintiffs will contend that
to assess such taxes and penalties
with out opportunity for them to be
heard after they have been acquitted
OF charges of violation of the Vol
stead Act is in direct violation of the
constitution of the United States.

FOCH AND HARVEY

Marshal Foch's Fourth of July
message to the American people is
marked by the restraint, vet sincere
emotion, which we have come to
think of as characteristic of that
great soldier. He makes simple
and detailed recital Of Americas mil
itary contribution to the war. While
the Marshal is above all idle debat-
ing of the question of what nation
or which armies won the war, he
makes his opinion clear that the
United States furnished the reserves
have been won.
In the matter of Americas s motives
and ideals, Marshal Foch unwitting-
)1y adds to the discontinue of the un-
fortunate Ambassador Harvey. To
the Frenchman it is abundantly evil
dent that the United States went in
to the war for ''a great and noble
cause.-the liberty of the world. -
What our soldiers did was to s'he1p
in the great and complete triumph
of right over brutal strength" Be
side this, Colonel Harvey's "afraid
not to fight" looks cheaper and
shallower than ever. He was prob
ably trying to make an epigram. But
there is no edged tool sharper than
your epigram, and it requires a del
icate handling beyond the compe-
tence, apparently. of our unlucky
Ambassador.-N. Y. Times.

At six o'clock yesterday afternoon
the Kiwanians assembled at the
Farmers Picnic Grounds for their
regular meeting. Under the supervi-

of fried chicken and other delightful
eats had been prepared. and this
feast was heartily enjoyed by the
club and its guests, the gentlemen
who had helped the Club in the pro-
duction of the Jollies of 1921.
President Bill during the session
announced the presentation to the
club of a gavel and stand, the gift
Of Benny Consolvo. Immediately a
resolution was passed expressing the
Clubs appreciation of the gift.
Several resolutions were read by
the president, which were unani-
mously adopted; one thanking those
who had taken part in the minstrel:
one greeting to the Business and
Professional Women's Club. which
also expressed an appreciation of the
efforts of that club to secure a half
holiday each week during the sum-
mer for the workers of Wilson and a
regret that the movement had failed
because few of the merchants had
declined to agree to a closing. Anoth-
er resolution called upon the Com
munity Service for a detailed report
of it's activities under its new man.

Club Sid Clark it's newest member.
