In proportion to the weight of COO

in proportion to its weight. He
mounted them on each side of a beam
about like n two-by-four--on which
he proposed to lie, belly down, while
flying.
Leonardo's device for propelling him
self showed both his intellect and his
technology He saw very plainly that
bird had more power In its wings
and breast muscles in proportion To its
weight. than man has in his arms
/ and breast muscles. a man has his
biggest muscles in his legs. Leonardo
preceived that IL he was going to com

HOW THE THING WORKED
That was an easy problem for him
! You would have to look at CARRIERS
model to see just how he solved It.
The wings are operated by pulIeys
Leonardo. lying on his stomach on the
beam. grasped handles in each hand
and put his feet in pair of strrups.
BY throwing his arms up he raised
the wings, and by kicking backward,
like a swimmer. with both feet. he
brought them down and back Thus
by going thru a sort of horizontal
settfng-up exercise, Leonardo could
Hap his wings, as he thought. just
like a bird He had doubtless watched
the easy Tapping and sailing of the
buzzards which hung about the Ital-
ian towns. and figured confidently that
he could do just as they did.
Leonardo was good man. but like
many another good man, not as good
as he thought It took several CEN
turtles to show Just how far he had
fhiscalculated. Experience with motor
driven airships has shown that To-

can fly the weight of man with

two horsepower to lift man off the

about eight man power suppose that

that there was good proportion Of

the mantcl was an antique hourglass

ming the last few grains of sand There
were also couple of heavy looking
onyx blocks, and quaint little clock
that licked softly in the stiffness, for
after that last laugh Kurtlau had sat
motionlcss and apparently disinterestcd.
Hunt turned his glance to the little
typewriter stand and the machine upon
it. Neither this stand nor the large desk
appeared to be furnished with drawer.
The chairs were upholstered variously
in tapestry and leather. and there was
a couch with many pillows.

Hunt nodded an absent minded nf
firmative. 1t was just what he did fear.
He knew it might not be long before
some member of Kurtlau's organization

not be expected to support Hunt in his

note to Harvey Hunt before the night
en- which he shot the girl. He foresaw
that Hunt would be puzzled over the
disappearance Of the revolver. In fact.
his only purpose in tossing it up on the
ledge was to make game of the crimi-
nologist, for there was no way in which
it could be identified as his. II there
had been. he would not have allowed
Hunt to find it, He foresaw. too. that
he would be closely shadowcd after the
shooting. and delighted in presenting

AMERICAN NOTE
TO BE ANSWERED
The Netherlands Government VIII An.
swer Protest Of Washington
Administration.

THE HAGUE, May 3.-The Meth
erlands government will send to
Washington within a few days it's an
swer to the American note protesting
against the granting Of a monopoly of
oil resources in the Dutch East In
dies to British companies. The stand
point Of the Dutch government in the
Djambi oil fields question as affected
by the recent passage by the second
chamber of parliament of a bill under
which the bid of the Standard Oil
company for a concession In the SUI
matra oil region is barred, was ex-
planned today to the Dutch foreign
office. The main point emphasized
was the lack of interest on the Ameri-
can side at a time when competition
was free and when the Royal Dutch
company had made a far more ad-
vantageous offer than any other COM
pany. In 1915. it was pointed out, a
measure was adopted allowing exploit
alton only by the state. This rule was
altered by the state itself or by a
company through combination of the
state with private company.
Even during this time the foreign
office stated, the Batavia company
was displaying interest in the Djambi
fields whereas no serious offer from
the American side reached the Dutch
government until after the contract
between the government and the Ba-
tavia company was signed and back
ing out was impossible for the gov
eminent.
It was emphasized, however, that
there were still many valuable oil
fields in the East Indies and that the
Dutch government would welcome
American capital If it were interested
in exploitation.

FAMOUS WILL CASE
IS AGAIN In COURT
tey The Associated Press,

MACON, May 3.-Judge II. A. Ma
thews in superior court today, direct
ed a verdict sustaining motion of
former Governor n. E. Harris, in the
noted Washington will case that the
caviators in attacking the will of Hugh
v. Washington, had not produced suf-
ficient evidence.
r. L. Berner, leading counsel for
the caviators, announced that he
would appeal the case to the supreme
court of Georgia.
This is the thirdS time that the
Washington will case has been tried.
Under the will of Hugh V. Washing
ton, who claimed to have been a rel
alive of the family of George Wash
ington, Mrs. z. w. Bellamy, a sister,
was given the bulk of the estate.
There were gifts to the Missouri His
torical society, and to the Daughters
of the American Revolution, and also
to several colleges. Heirs of Robert
Porter Washington, brother of II. V.
Washington, attacked the will on the
ground that its maker was of unsound
mind and that Mrs. Bellamy used I'M
due influence over him.
From the estate Mrs. Bellamy has
already given $4,000 public library
to the city of Macon, named in honor
of Hugh V. Washington. The case
has been on trial here since the first
of last week.

BANKERS CONSIDER
VALUE SECURITIES
Inquire What Effect Of Government
Regulations Has on Them.

PINEHURST, N. c., May 3-The
effect of government regulation on the
value of railroad securities was con-
sidered today by one Of the commit
tees Of the American Bankers asso-
Citations. AS result a resolution was
prepared for presentation to the asso-
cations executive council, in session
here that government interference
with business in general and with
transportation in particular should not
extend beyond preventing exploitation
Of properties, making impossible any
discrimination between individuals or
communities and the maintenance of
reasonable safeguards to the lives of
patrons and employees"
This and other resolutions together
with number of reports will be sub
mitted to the executive council dur
ing the remaining days of the week.
Among the reports will be one to be
prepared by John S. Drum, president
of the association on business and
commercial conditions throughout the
country, with remedies suggested by
men prominent in finance and indus
try, one on economic policy drawn by
Paul NJ. Warburg. New York banker.
and another being drafted by John
McHugh, New York financier, devoted
chiefly to the financing of foreign
trade.

BERLIN RECEIVES
REPLY OF HUGHES

BERLIN, May 3.-Shortly after the
opening of the session Of the reich
stag this afternoon Paul Loeb, spresi-
dent Of the chamber informed the
members that the reply Of Secretary
of State Hughes to the counter pro-
posals on reparations submitted by
DR.. Simons, the German foreign secre-
tary had been received by the gov
eminent. The reply Of. Secretary
Hughes was delivered to DR.. Simons
at 1880 o'clock this morning by Lor-
ing Dresel, the American commission.
On the announcement Of Herr Loeb,
George Ledebour, the socialist DEM
ocratic leader moved that the house
Immediately discuss the note. This
motion was rejected by large ma
jority. Herr Loeb said Dr. Simons
would consult with the committee on
foreign relations Wednesday.
The cabinet was in session up to 8
o'clock this afternoon at which hour
1t was without news of the final con-
illusions of the London conferences.
The newspapers are almost apathetic
as regards the Washington govern
ment's reply to DR.. Simons.
