Leonardo's Wings
BY FREDERICK J. HASkIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. %
One of the first devices by which a
man ever tried to fly has recently
been placed in the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition in the form of model made by
Paul CARRIER.
CARRIER, who is but % years old, has
set himself the task of making visible
the whole history of mans effort to
master the air. Smithsonian possesses
the models made by the inventors of
many of the early airships, and Gar
Der proposes to complete this collec-
| ton by making models of the others
from drawings and descriptions.
The model he has just completed is
that of the device by which Leonardo
da Vinci hoped to fly like a bird by the
use of his own unaided strength. The
model is made from drawings and de-
scriptions which Leonardo left 1t ap-
pears not to be known whether the
famous Italian ever actually made his
flying machine, but it may be stated
with the utmost certainty that he nev-
| er flew in it. 1t couldn't be done.
! Leonardo da Vinci was, according to
all au horities, one of the greatest
geniuses that ever lived, and he died
little more than 400 years ago. When
you look at his flying machine it is
well to bear both of these facts in
mind. Only genius could have con.
ceiyed such an ingenious contraption
and only a man living in an early
stage of the development of mechanics
could have imagined that it would
work.
Did Leonardo Have the Big Head?
Even allowing for the fact that Leo
nardo lived long time ago, one won
ders whether he did not have his
tongue in his cheek when he designed
| this flying machine. Or if it was not
partly a joke, then maybe the famous
Florentine had a touch of the big
head, to which even geniuses are liza
BILE. He had been proclaimed uni
versal genius and the great man of his
times. He was great painter, great
sculptor, and great engineer. He
was the best anatomist OF his day. He
! had made scientific discoveries of the
greatest importance. Princes We'd fol
his services He was a man of the
highest gifts placed in rich and high
lly civilized environment-that OF Re

ldesign of their wings, and also the e1

the wings, and by kicking backward,
like a swimmer, with both feet, he
brought them down and back. Thus,
by going through sort of horizontal
setting-up exercise, Leonardo could
flap his wings, as he thought, just like
a bird. He had doubtless watched the
easy Tapping and sailing of the buzz
yards which hung about the Italian
towns, and figured confidently that he
could do just as they did.
Leonardo was a good man, but like
many another good man, not as good
as he thought 1t took several CEN
turtles to show just how far he had
miscalculated Experience with mo-
tor-driven airships has shown that a
10-horsepower engine is the least
which can fly the weight OF man with
any success. 1t would take at least
two horsepower to life man off the
ground. And a horsepower is equal
to about eight man power. Suppose
that Leonardo was about half again
as strong as the average man, he
would have had to be nevertheless
about IL times as strong as he was IN
order to fly. His little device would
have afforded him splendid exercise,
but no transportation.
| Even if he had been II times as
strong as he was Leonardo would
probably not have risen an inch. A
bird not only beats its wings with
much greater power, in proportion to
| it's weight. than a man has, but II
beats them much faster than man
can move his arms. About $50 WING
| beats per minute are necessary te
keep a bird in the air. A man could
not possibly do that and keep it up.
One other point Leonardo overlook
ed. A bird does not really flap its
wings, as it appears to do. The wing
motion of birds is very complicated
thing which scientists have not YET
analysed to their satisfaction, but
they believe that the wing describe;
approximately figure eight in the
air. Leonardo could not have execut
ed such a movement with his wings

M'CARDLE DEPLORES
TAKING ROADS OUT OF
ALL STATE CONTROL
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The &C
ton of congress of taking away from
the public utility commissions of the
various states all authority concern
ing the regulation of the railroads
within the states, does not meet with
the approval of ]. w. McCardle, chair
man of the public service commission
of Indiana
In a letter he has addressed to In
diana members of congress, McCardle
advocates the enactment of a resolu-
ton recently introduced by Represen-
tatiye Hoch of Kansas as a remedy
for the condition he complains of. The
Hoch resolution would restore to the
states much of their former control
over the railroads.
Under law passed by congress in
February, 1920. complete authority
over the railroads, interstate as we'll
as 1ntrastate, was vested in the fed
McCardle states that the business
McArdle states that the business
interests and the people generally are

TO take up with the interstate COM
merce commission everything they
want to have settled concerning rail-
road matters. He says that anyone
wanting car for shipping purposes
must apply to the federal commission,
and that the same is true when side
tracks are wanted
lndianaan Gives Example
The chairman of the Indiana public
service commission cites an instance
which happened in Indiana in the
summer of 1920, when the interstate
commerce commission decided to
make a distribution of grain and coal
cars
A grain car had been delivered to
an Indiana elevator and was ready
to be loaded with wheat when the
railroad company received instructions
10 send the car to Kansas so that it
could be used to deliver Kansas wheat
10 the market, according to McCardle,
he expresses doubt as to whether
it was more important to transport
Kansas wheat than Indiana wheat,
end. he adds. Indiana shippers are get
ting tired of such treatment.
1t is recalled that the act vesting
all authority over railroads in the fed
eral interstate commission followed
long and vigorous protests from the
transportation companies that as a re-
suit of being subjected to the author
ity of a federal commission and a util-
tiles commission in each of the forty
eight states, they were being con-
trolled to death
No Sentiment Now
At this time there does not appear
to be any particular sentiment in con
gress for restoration to the various
state commissions the complete au
thority they once had over intrastate
transportation Many believe. how
ever, that some plan should be
adopted whereby the interstate com
merce commission could be relieved
of much of the petty detail work ex
pected of it, which could be admins
tered locally much more promptly and
intelligently.

in congress who favor absolutely no
governmental control over the rail.
