a fact. Women of this State feel
that the blanket bill is the simple
course to pursue in this state, not
tedious correction of a great number
OF statutes.
In all of our work the women to be
elected to office in the coming cleo
tons we feel will be standing behind
us. Many of them are specifically
supporting the woman's bill of rights.
In fact. believe that women all
over the country feel a growing inn
patience with the attitude OF men.
Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont, our national
president, expressed IL humorously the
other day when she said: Men have
criticized us for everything we have
done. from the way we wear our hair
TO the length of our skirts and the
height of our heels. Now we are GO
ing to turn a searchlight on their ac-

would like to say. in addition. that
no vast upheaval follows the passage
Of these blanket bills, as the case of
Wisconsin proves. The Wisconsin
equal rights law was passed over a
year ago Mrs. Frank Putnam, State
chairman of the National Woman's
Party. visited New York a short time
ago. and her account of the situation
in Wisconsin was interesting. She
said:
"a years experience OF the Wis.,
consin equal rights law. comforting
upon women equal personal and prop
erty rights with men. has been not
able for the appearance of women on
juries in both civil and criminal cases
in many of the counties Of the States
and in the large cities.

Foolish to Elect Women
Just Because They're Women

In my opinion SNUG self -satisfac-
ton is one Of the first things that
women must overcome. II seems to
me that then all the rest must be
added unto them. once they face the
facts as to their own position. But I
cannot believe at this time that the
most powerful thing women can do is
to elect 10 Office women simply for
the reason that they are women. To
lberate the mass of women from the
great weight Of discriminatory law
and custom will never be possible un-
less. regardless Of political parties and
personal Affiliations. We use our
strength as balance of power.
Personally ] am Republican. and
always have been. But I subscribe to
Miss Alice Paul's definition of our po-
sitiou and belief: I'VE are not a po-
litical party in the sense of having a

Following the example of the United
States the Department OF Agriculture
of the French Government has decided
TO make the wireless telephone useful TO
farmers. Villages and conMnunes have
been authorized to install receiving ap-
paratus, which the Government will fur
nish for less than 200 francs each. for
receiving weather forecasts three times
a day. II is believed that an apparatus
will he installed In every local Govern
ment center where the farmers can
gather morning. noon and night and re-
ceive the weather forecast sent out
from the Eiffel Tower.
The Importance OF this movement was
emphasized In the Cabinet by Adolphe
pointed out that the farmers hencefcrth
will be able to protect their harvest
against storms by following the on
cial warnings.
Thus far. however, the French Gov
ornment Is not inclined 20 sanction such
extensive broadcastinE as is practced
in the United States. believing that this
would interfere with ship signals from
the Channel as we'll as with airplane

In other words. we are making the
from Democrats. We are going be-
fore the September conventions Of the
two parties TO lay before them the
reasons why they should pass the
woman's bill of rights. which again
will come before the New York Legis-
lature in the January session. We
believe 1t is to the interest of the par
ties to support this great measure of
human freedom. 1t is not as II our
measure, wiping out all discrimina-
tions against women that are on our
statues, were here to-day and gone to-
morrow.
In every State in the Union like
bill. Legislature by Legislature, is be-
ing introduced. Wisconsin has al
ready passed this blanket measure,
where II has been In operation a year.
This measure simply grants to
women the same privileges and i'm
munities as men with respect to:
Exercise of suffrage.

Eligibility for civil service positions.
Freedom of contract (meaning busi-
ness freedom).

Question of Landing
Vertically Is Serious

The speed of descent may be slow,

miles per hour (Which is NJ. Damb

danger of wrecking. An aeroplane
taking ground at a fine angle can
land safely at high speed. Shock alb

weighing a ton or SO would have to
be very heavy, and such shock absorb

been contrived Provision must there

aeroplane, and in that case the hell

balance in the uneven air often found
near the ground.
The problems of securing horizontal
speed and direction have been solved
by more than one inventor, although
the mechanical difficulties are for
midable. In theory. at any rate. they
have been overcome, but in no case So
far has this been put into practice.
AS regards performance. 1t would
seem that the helicopter must always
| be inferior to the aeroplane. NJ. Dam
blanc. one of the foremost workers in
this field, admits that for his machine
the utmost height attainable would be
about 5000 feet. and that as this
height was approached the speed of
ascent would be extremely slow. and
all impedimenta would have to be sac

Many investigators are at work on
the helicopter, but scarcely anything
approaching free flight has been
achieved. The Brennan has given sat

Not More Interested Now Than
Before Equal Rights Bill Passed

There has. of course. been some
talk among elements hostile to social
change of an attempt to have the law
repealed or amended, but there is not
a chance of any such action being
taken by the Wisconsin Legislature.
Leaders of all political parties and
factions recognize that the new law
has come to stay--that II represents
permanent step forward, never to be
retraced.
Women are not more interested in
politics than before the equal rights
bill was passed. but the politicians and
all groups realize that women as
voters would become instantly aroused
by any attempt to legislate them back
into the condition of legal inferiority
from which they have emerged.

Major c. C. Turner. writing in the
London Times, has this to say on the
helicopter:
"Of all the experts who have been
discussing the helicopter, not one. so
far as the writer can trace, has re-
ferred to a very serious disadvantage
of the helicopter in war and (to a
smaller degree) in peace. Enthusiasts
claim that it would offer a smaller tar
get than the aeroplane. besides having
the advantage of being able to ascend
from and land in small space. and
of being able to hover over one spot;
but they have not considered that the
helicopter is a great deal more vul-
nerable than the aeroplane.
"An aeroplane is sustained in the air
by it's wings, to which the necessary
air speed is given by the propeller.
If the propeller break or is shot in
action the machine must descend; but
it can descend controlled by the pilot,
and land safely. The propeller is a
relatively small target in an aero
plane. And a great many bullets
through the wings of an aeroplane
may have very little effect.
"The screw or screws of hell
copter are a big target. But the ma
chimes sustcntation is dependent upon
them: and if they be damaged or
break, or the mechanism be deranged,
the machine cannot be brought down
in control, but must fall headlong.
The very fact that in ,fulfillment of
it's assumed functions the helicopter
will often be called upon to hover
over one spot makes II easier to hit
and the screws rotating horizontally
offer big target from above or be-
low.

THE MACHINE THAT GOES UP STRAIGHT1

Of mechanism would certainly more
often have disastrous results than
in the case of the aeroplane for the
ceason already stated.
THE Air Ministry recently issued
statement to the effect that the de-
STABILITY of offering a prize of 100000
for helicopter fulfilling certain con-
ditions was being considered. The
prize has not yet been offered; but
for some years experiments by Mr.
Louis Brennan have been financed by
the Air Ministry. In view of the un-
certainty of the technical position
and of the possibility that the solu-
ton of helicopter problems may in
cidentally prove valuable to the aero
plane aid for research and induce
ments TO inventors may be justifiable..
1t is, however. wild exaggeration to.
say that the helicopter is the key
to air supremacy and it is inter-
esting to pote that newspaper that
only three months ago made that
claim now speaks of the helicopter as
a side issue
lowing to an aerodynamical law, the
helicopter cannot give the same per-
formance. power for power, as the
aeroplane. In other words. the pow
er required to support a given load
in the air and raise it to a given
height in a given time by helicopter
must exceed that required for an
| aeroplane. This is far more serious
than may at first appear. for even
the aeroplane is an extravagant user
of power, so that from the commercial
point of view it is absolutely neces-
sary TO improve matters.
Many helicopter problems at one
time thought almost insoluble have
been overcome. Thus. it is known
now that the. helicopter whose en-
gine fails (not involving breakage of
the screws) need not descend as ver-
tically as it ascended and. a hundred
| times as fast. It's descent may be
checked by the free rotation of the
screws.

Great Speed Horizontally
Is Confidently Looked For

According to the inventor the head
resistance of the helicopter is small
and great speed forward may be ex-
pected from it. Emile Berliner al
ways intended that the gyrocopter
should be provided with floats and
that at first it should be a water craft,
flying near the surface of rivers, lakes
and oceans, so that it could quickly
descend to safety in case of accident
or stoppage Of the motor.
1t is claimed by the inventor of the
helicopter which has been found to
be all that is claimed for it that by
placing the usual hydroplane floats
under the machine it becomes "hy-
drocopter" which will be able to rise
straight up from the water instead of
having to make long runs before TAX
ing the air. 1t may then be used either
on land or on water and will be of in
estimable service to those having sum-
mer residences or who stay at the
various seaside resorts, for through
their use they will be able to avoid
heavy traffic over land and make the
trips from one waterway to another in
the shortest possible time.

dred square feet it would elevate him.
In the Berliner man-lifting gyro-
copter the double propellers running
in opposite directions have an effective
surface of only fifteen square feet.
Many experimenters have tried them
selves on this problem. In 1872
Penaud constructed a similar appa-
ratu which he called "helicoptere.
This model was wound up by rubber
bands and when released flew to a
height of fifty feet.
Soon after this experiment by
Peaaud the hope of solving the prob
lem of flight by lifting screws appears
to have been abandoned. and expert
menters followed the airplane principle
of propelling curved lifting surfaces
perimenter who constructed the first
aeroplane model operated by pro-
peller. This was a small affair ingenl-
ously constructed.
Finally. as is well known. the
brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright
succeeded in making a manlfting
aeroplane in 1905.
About the time that the Wright
brothers first succeeded in flying
Emile Berliner took up the problem
of the pterophore or helicopter. and
toward that purpose he had Western
firm build for him two lightweight
revolving cylinder motors. the first of
their kind. One of these motors is
now on exhibition at the National
Museum in Washington.
The New York herald., 1922-07-09

A 7 last the problem that has
~ occupied the inventive talents
of every airplane maker for
years seems to have been solved.
This problem involved making a
machine that would fly straight
upward. 1t was, in fact, worked
on before the airplane came near
reaching its present status. What
is wanted is a combination of air.
plane and helicopter. Then the
plane can start vertically off the
ground, approach desired height
and then go anywhere horizontally
as directed.
This desired combination has
been reached, it is reported by
Henry A. Berliner, who has given
satisfactory helicopter demonstra-
tions in Washington recently. What
he and his father, Emile, have ac-
complished is told in the article
that follows. And description of
the Berliner helicopter is here sup
piled.
What the Berliner
Helicopter Looks Like
The machine looks like an air.
plane without wings. The fuselage
and rudder are the same, and a
lie Rhone 10 horse power rotary
motor is mounted forward, as in the
airplane.
On either side of the fuselage
there is an upright carrying four
teen foot propeller. These two pro-
pellers revolve in opposite direc-
tions and force the air downward,
lifting the 1900 pounds of the ma
chine with pilot straight off the
ground.
Near the tail there is small pro-
peller which is also geared to the
motor and which tilts the entire
helicopter by slightly lifting its
: tail. This tilt causes the forward
motion of the machine, at the ex-
pense of lifting power.
The inventor claims, aowever,
that with a 1000 pound loxJ but 8
per cent. of the lift is lost III a tilt
of fifteen degrees and that this loss
is transferred into horizontal pull
of about 25 per cent. of lifting
power. This is somewhat greater
tilt than has been used in most OF
the experiments, but he thinks that
a twenty-five degree tilt may pos
Bibly be reached safely.
The ability of the helicopter to
rise vertically from standing start
is obviously a great advantage. 1t
will be important in many ways,
particularly in landing and taking
off from a battleship at sea. The
power of the helicopter also to
hover over a given spot will prove
of value in military operations:
A claim has been made by Louis
Brennan, the English inventor, that
he has made a vertical rise OF AZ
feet. Berliner, the son, takes his
helicopter up but IL feet, but
claims he could go higher. This IL
feet, he asserts, is enough for ex-
perimental purposes.

Successful Trials Made Last

Month at College Park, Md.
On June is last, at College Park,
Md, successful trials were made of the
helicopter. after they were under the
closest scrutiny of army and navy ex-
perts in air devices and inventions.
According to these officers who wit
messed the tests. there is absolutely
no doubt that Mr.. Berliner has actu-
ally perfected helicopter which, after
some few alterations and changes in
mechanism, will be able to rise straight
from the ground to any distance re-
quired and then fly away just as does
the ordinary airplane.
There were enough tests made of
the machine at College Park last
month to insure it becoming the great
est use both for commercial and mill
tary purposes On three separate oc-
casions the Berliner helicopter raised
itself twelve feet straight up from the
ground and then posed there motion
less, going neither forward nor back
ward, upward nor downward. In addi-
ton to these tests, Mr.. Berliner took
the machine on a flight around the
track at College Park, demonstrating
that the apparatus that gave the hell
copter its upward lift did not prevent
it's forward motion.

only in a formative state and it would
not be polite for me to give any ex-
preston as to the future development
of such machines.
Flying officers of the navy, pri-
vately, are very enthusiastic in their
praise of the Berliner helicopter and
they believe that the young Washing
ton inventor, aided by the experience
and work of his father, has solved a
very difficult problem in air flying
which in the end is bound to revolu-
tionize this method of transportation.
The illustration appearing in this
article was taken from the hangar at
College Park, Md, at the time the Ber-
liner helicopter was making one of its
trial trips. The guiding propeller in
the rear of the craft is plainly visible
in the picture.
