London, Nov. 16-Giving credit
to the brothers Wright (WilbuT
and Oriville) as being the pioneers
of flight and entirely disproving
the assertions for a similar honor
urged on behalf of Langley was
the purport of lecture given by
| Griffith Brewer, the well-known
aeronautical expert, at a recent
meeting of the British Aeronauti-
cal society.
From the evidence l have gath
ered," said Mr.. Brewer, 81 submit
the following two facts are entire
ly proven;
"(a) The Langley machine was
not capable of sustained free
flight.
sob 1t was not successfully
flown at Hommandsport, New
York, on June 2, 1914.
"The Smithsonian Institution
has always attributed the failure
of the Langley machine to the fail
ure in the launching apparatus,
and it has hitherto been generally
accepted that the machine wass
wrecked without having had fair
opportunity to prove whether it
was capable of flight.
'It is therefore easy to under
stand that since the Wrights, who
had been working on the same
problem, succeeded where Langley
failed, Langley's friends eagerly
welcomed the suggestion made ten
years later that it might be posi-
Bile to prove that Langley's ma
chine was capable of flight.
Langley Test First.
Langley and the Wrights had
been working concurrent1y hun
dreds of miles apart and both had
approached the final stage of their
Independent experiments at the
same time.
Langley tested his machine
few weeks before the Wrights. But
his attempt to fly failed. The
Wrights one week after the failure
tried their machine and succeeded |
Was it, then, one asks, merely a
mishap which robbed Langley of
the honor of being the first to fly
or did he fail because the machine
he had built was not capable of
flight?"
Mr.. Brewer averred that the re-
port and inscription of the Lang
ley machine now in the United
States national museum which says
that it was flown at Hammonds-
port on June 2, 1914, is misleading
and untrue. The machine was only
put through so-called flying tests
and altered after each test. The
Smithsonian Institution was led to
believe and falsely proclaim that
Langley had succeeded where, in
fact, Langley had honorably failed. |
Il have evidence to prove" went
on Mr.. Brewer, "that an undesir-
able piece of fiction had been i'm
posed on the Smithsonian Institu-l

UPKEEP OF THE ROADS
apto Owners Should Be Made TO ray
Part of Cost of Maintenance.

The following is taken from a re-
cent issue of the Leader, published
at Ruston:
"Pcriodically we hear some one re-
mark that the farmer should keep
the roads adjoining his property IN
rood condition-or that the parish
Should do thus and SO. Generally
these remarks come from some pas
sing motorist, who himself IS cutting
the road I'D with his heavy car. ,
"Manifestly, good roads are an alo
to every farmer, as they are 10 every
one who uses them.
"Unquestionably the state and par
ish should take every means TO keep
the roads in proper condition.
MANY improvements should be made
and repairs should be kept up. We
chonld rejoice to see every foot OF
roadway in this parish verltabie
boulevard. But why hang it on to
the farmer so insistentIy, When as d
matter of fact the farmer is only d
m;2or consideration in the constant
destruction Of the road!
"There was no great public outcry
for road improvement until the auto
mobile came into vogue. But no"
that the automobile has ceased to be
luxury for the few and has come
intJ general use, especially IN the
ceIters Of population, everybody
! seems TO think the farmer ought to &c
more work on his roads. No one seems
| to consider that the car owner, Whc
nyoc Tho roads for MS pleasure, and
| DESTROYS them in the using, should be
| reouired to contribute his share &c
the expense. Automobiles do mor.e
| to destroy country roads than al
| other agencies com|ned. Inc!
should bear their proportlonate snare
of the cost of maintenance.
''There is state tax on automo.
biles. But what becomes OF that tax
Have you noticed any of it put t
| rood use on the roads in this com
munity? And yet automobiles from
averv part of the country are tearing
our roads to pieces three hundred ant
| ;ixty-five days in the year. We be
lieve in good roads, but we also be
lieve in the doctrine of the squar
deal. -,
IF the motorists complain OF tn
condition of our roads, let the stat
hand over a fair share of the tax o.
cars and we'll put those roads in tn
pink of condition. Or, we strongl
suspect that the farmers would b
perfectly willing to keep the road
| in repair themselves if they were a.
lowed to charge small head tax O
every motorist who passed owe
them.
"Some of these days there will b
parish tax on automobiles, wit
every car required to display the pai
ish license in plain view while in tn
country. Then the burden of main
tenance will fall at least partly Wher
it belongs"
