models in right proportion, but
very much larger. The ordinary
flying machine today is 10000 times
as big as the model or measure of
the first power machine, Mr..
Wright said.
We have seen during the war and
in government mail service and in
many other lines of activity how
practical and useful and interesting
a thing the airplane has become.
Distances have been shortened to
an immense extent or so it seems
because the speed is so much
greater than that of a train or YES
sel,-and the air has been won for
travel.
In this splendid achievement,
the Wright brothers are the fore
most figures and these great re-
suits have grown from an interest
which was first aroused by a clever
little toy.

Famous Aviators Interest in Flying Aroused by Toy

with one idea-tO improve aircraft
Mr.. Wilbur Wright, the older
brother, died a few years ago, but
the work being done in the Wright
office, seems still the work of the
Wright Brothers." The brothers
were SO long together in their
work that people honor them both
in the same thought. Mr.. Wright
is kindly and simple and gracious
in his manner,-eager when speak
ing of his work. Achievement and
honor rest lightly upon his shout

First Successful Airplane
Not a Result Of "Chance"
If you junior readers think that
it was by some "lucky chance" that
these men made flying in the air
in a heavier-than-air machine pos
sible, you had better lose that idea
right now, for a tiny reading of
their earliest plans and expert
ments will show you how they rea-
soned to the tiniest detail in agree
ment with the laws of science which
had to do with flying, and how they
figured to the smallest degree in
their measurements. 1t is because
they thought so long and so clearly
that they were able to so success
fully accomplish things based on
that thought.
For long time before the
Wrights began their work, air
planes had been thought of and

their work in America at that time.

The motor of this first power

Mr.. Wright Works to Secure
More Speed for Less Power
Mr.. Wright is now working to
perfect the airplane-to secure the
most speed for the smallest amount
of power spent. To do this he is
testing many different sizes and
shapes of planes. In his laboratory
tunnel has been built through
which current of air can be sent.
In this he puts different shaped
wings (small models of them, rath-
err and measures the amount of
air pressure it takes to lift them
and to push them through the air.

Germany, but they could not be

lieved planes could be built to fly
in the air. They thought about all
the laws of science which were con
nected with flying and then they
figured and figured and planned to
the tiniest measurements, what size
and shape and weight a plane
should be to be able to fly in the
air. When all these measure
ments and plans were made and

the laws of science, the plane was

Is the way it happened:
One day when Orville Wright
was seven years Old (Wilbur was
then about ~ their father, blsh-

dies often do, when he came home
he brought them present. The
family was then living in Cedar

though scientists called it a hell

ed it IA bat" for when wound up
with rubber band and then re-
leased, it would fly as high as the
tree tops. 1t was delicate toy of
cork and bamboo, with parasol
shaped things of bamboo covered
with tissue paper at each end
which turned around rapidly in diff
ferent directions.
A small sketch giving some idea
of what this toy was like, is
shown on this page.
Soon the boys made other toys
like this one for themselves anC
their friends. When they made big
ger ones like it, they did not fly so
well and they could not understand
why. But later they understood,

that they had lost their proportions
for a toy twice as big as the first
one in measurements, needed eight
| times instead of twice as much
power to raise it
After this, though, for several
years they did not think anything
| special about flying. They did,
however, always like to fly kites.
Brothers Begin First
Experiments in Carolina
When Orville Wright was 16
years old, the family moved to Day
ton. About this time, the boys were
reading whatever they could find,
about flying.
In 1896, the great German scien-
fist, Lilienthal, died. Lilienthal had
been successful in making a plane
in which, when it had been carried
to the top of hill, he could glide
safely down to earth. Stories about
his experiments interested the
Wright brothers. What fine sport
that would make, they thought. So
with the idea OF having fun with it,
rather than with any serious
thought of making it a business,
they began reading and studying
more about it.
1t was in 1900 that the Wright
brothers went to the seashOre of
North Carolina at Kitty Hawk
where there was plenty of wind and
few people and there they built
little camp and began experiments.
They built machine which they
planned to fly as kite, with a man
on board. 1t was found that they
needed stronger winds to make
this successful, SO they flew it as a
kite without man on it,-working
the levers through cords from the
ground.
After these experiments they
realized that the tables of air pres
sures which were then being used,
were all wrong, and they set out to
make their own tables and meas
urements, basing them on funda-
mental laws of science and their
own experiments. Someone has
said OF them when they decided to
do this that it was as if a sea cap
tain, in order to cross the ocean,
must work out the science of navi-
cation from the beginning, build
his own ship, invent a compass and
seXtant, and make out tables of
latitude and longitude.
A picture of this first Wright ma
chine is shown in connection with
this story. You can see the ropes
by which it was operated.
In 1902 the Wright brothers built
a glider based on their own figures
and it performed just as they had
reasoned it would. With this ma
chine, they would go to the top of
hill near Kittyhawk named Kill
Devil Hill (not a very cheerful
name, was it?, get onto the plane.
lying down on it and glide down to
earth,-or as they called it they
would coast downhill on the air"
Testing this glider, they could fig
ure out exactly how much power
was used, and so they learned from
it many important things, though |
the longest flight in the glider was
scarcely more than minute.
Finding this work fascinating
they were drawn into it deeper and
deeper-and they began planning
bigger and bigger things which they
believed could be accomplished in
the air.

in preventing the elections by force.
Composition Of Party

Composition OF Party
The Free State party is composed
of three sections. 1t has all the Sim
Feiners who regard the treaty as a
victory, and as furnishing to Ireland,
if not absolute freedom, the means of
eventually attaining all its demands
The Free Staters are also supported
by all the mass of voters formerly
identified with the constitutional agi-
tation for home rule and =. by many
men who were formerly Unionists but
who now gladly accept the treaty as
the way to peace.
The third section of the Free State
party is composed of extreme Repub-
leans who will be satisfied with moth
ing short of an absolute isolated re-
public. They say the quickest way
to an eventual Irish republic is to
make use of the powers Of the treaty
to enforce it. They are understood
TO be in association with the Irish
party in America which differed with
Mr.. he Valera when he was in the
United States.
Though the an~ti-treaty party is more
homogeneous than the treaty party,
it, toe, is not quite uniform in OPT
Mon. A determination to resist the
treaty by all legitimate means is com
nor to the whole party. Some Of
it would include armed force among
the legitimate means. But the whole
party is not committed to the plan
OF De Valera for a republic externally
associated with the British Empire.
That plan was an attempt to make
the London negotiations fruitful with
out sacrificing the Republican prlnci-
pie. But the main force of the anti
treaty party is in it's assertion Of
undiluted and unqualified Republic
ism. The most conspicuous figure
among the undiluted Republicans is
Liam Mellowes.
Though the De Valera party long re-
NAMED undecided whether to consent
to contest the elections, or even whe-
Their the election will be permitted, it
prepared sheafs of election leaflets.
Threats are General
Probably this was the first time
when electors have been threatened
with war by both sides. The Free
Staters argument was that the alter.
native to the Treaty was war with
England and their opponents %retorted
by saying that if Griffith and Collins
won the elections civil war would des
troy the country .
Great material for the De Valera
leaflets is furnished by the speeches
of British ministers on the Treaty
and Lord Birkenhead's speech in the
House of Lords on March 16 has beer
reprinted and widely distributed as an
evidence that the British government
is using Griffith and Collins to "put
down the turbulent population of the
South of Ireland"
A fundamental difference between
the opposing sections is in their at
titude toward Ulster. The Free
Staters favor methods of Cancellation
and removed the boycott on Belfast
goods. Their opponents reimposed the
boycott and daily destroyed goods
from Belfast and northern towns.

treaty. The Labor Party leaders fear
that the constitution may be too con
sentative in form for them, and would
prefer that the issue were confined
solely to the treaty.
Old Register Challenged
The immediate trouble is the voters
register which has been challenged
as obsolete and unfair by Mr.. De
Valera. II is charged that it not only
DISTINGUISHES 100000 voters in the
northern area but omits in the south
classes on whose support De Valera
can count. To prepare a new regis
ter would take several weeks Mr..
Griffith says months and as a speedy
election is desired by the government
the present decision of Mr.. Griffith
is to adhere to the existing register
This may lead to the refusal of the
Republicans to stand as candidates
for any of the seats and in that event
the section of the army opposed TO
the treaty might think itself justified
