HOW TO FLY

The Germans seem to have started something with their
air gliding contests. in which one flier renamed IN the air
three hours in an airplane without a motor.
A gliding craze is now sweeping England, progressive
London papers offering big prizes.
And it's a safe bet that the gliding craze will invade
America and furnish thrills for the cautious who prefer to
stav on the ground and 'let George do it, in the air.
A glider is a machine that travels on AIR waves about
the same as a sailboat travels on water. 1t has a rudder for
steering. also control surfaces which the pilot tits to make
the craft rise or descend and to balance the glider II 1t gets
lopsided and starts to tilt.
First you have to master aerial balance same as you
learn to balance on a bicycle. All depends on the pilots
skill. He has to learn to use his artificial wings as a young
bird learns to fly. ~ rs
You sit in the car, preferably on a hillside. Helpers
a long rome. attached to the glider, and run with 1t
until the wind catches under the wings and you take OIL
like a kite.
Then you fall. -
A motorless glider, of the type used by Herr Hentzen'
German gliding champion, moves forward l6 feet for each
foot it descends after taking off from a hillside. provloea
there are no up-gusts of wind to help move the craft upward
and forward.
The Germans started their gliding by long and patient
watching of hawks, guls and swallows in flight. AR ex-
merits and mathematicians thus figured out the curves and
tricks used by soaring birds. .
Chief obstacle to gliding by man is that the pilot IL apt at
anv second to strike a new air current or mole. German Cd
servers discovered that birds ''instinctively seen" new air
Currents with their heads. So the Germans are trying to de-
ve1on a similar ssair sense" They are helped by a secret
chemical skin-coating which makes their faces sensitive TO
the least touch Of wind.
AS YOU probably suspect, the German general staff began
ouietly to investigate gliding as far back as l9lo. Inls was
learned recently by French spies. The peace treaty forDlds

SMITH STREET TRAFFIC PROBLEM

Traffic congestion on Smith street is becoming greater
all the time. Even with a single track trolley it is impossible
for a trolley car and vehicle to pass where automobiles are
parked along the curb. This problem has got to be solved
before very long and it is time now to begin to look for a
possible solution.
The suggestion that Fayette street be opened all the
way through to Convery place is the most feasible plan yet
suggested. Not only would much of the heavy trucking now
done on Smith street be diverted to Fayette street, but all of
The automobile traffic coming down from the ferry could be
sent through Front street, especially with the latter street
widened. and then out to the western section of the city
where it would have easy approach to the new state high
way bridge which is to be a reality within the next few years.
Smith street business can never be harmed by the de-
velopment of Fayette street in this manner. On the contrary,
unless there is some such development for the relief of
Smith street, the business there is going to be hurt very
considerably. It is time now to tackle this problem in
earnest.

SECRET AGENTS ARE ACTIVE
in WASHINGTON D. G..
Daily Letter by Frederic }. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-Novel-
lists could we'll afford to withdraw
their attention from abroad and
concentrate on Washington for ma
terial for those thrilling stories of
espionage and political intrigue
which the public so eagerly devours.
For q long time, the popular novelist
has delighted to let his characters
get into all kinds OF scrapes and
have hair breadth escape and dis
covers important secrets of state in
ouch places as Geneva, Petrograd,
Monte Carlo and Rome. They could
do just as well at Washington.
Since the war, Washington has be-
come in a certain sense the capt.
tai of the world. With all nations
looking 20 the United States as the
leader of international activity our
National Capital has taken on in
creased Importance.
Washington as a headquarters
for diplomatic activity has long had
considerable vogue, but never so
much as at present. The increased
business of this character started
with the war when the propagan-
dists and diplimats, special
commissioners and plenipotentiaries
OF all principal nations came here as
steel is drawn to a magnet. Nearly
all of them have stayed and ply
their trade as diligently as ever.
The treaty of Versailles provided
tor several new states in pursuance
of the doctrine of self-determina-
ticn which President Wilson intro
duced at the peace table. All of
these nations were born in turmoil
and have been encountering Difficult
ties in holding their hard-won iden-
tity.
The opinion has become fixed in
Europe that a government can ac-
complish almost anything by con-
vincing the American public of the
justice of it's cause. 1t seems that
the whole world bows to the col
lective American mind and, in con
sequence, every effort is made to
appeal to that mind.
Bureau Supplants Junta
The foreign Hobbies frequently
take the form of information bu-
reaus. Such countries as Esthonia
Latvia, Lithuania have bureaus
with headquarters at Washington
whence millions of words of "infor-
NATION" are sent broadcast to the
American press showing the devel-
opment of each country, stating its
nationalistic aims and frequently
holding up to scorn the conflicting
aspirations of other peoples. The
information bureau is the successor
of the old fashioned diplomatic
agency or junta which used to be
in vogue here.
There is no doubt that these bu-
| reaus make a substantial impress

@. Was the weather that Is
known as Indian summer predicted
by the Indians ?-F. T.. X.
A. The popular belief that In
dian summer weather was predicted
by the native Indians, finds no docu-
meptary confederation, and the idea
that the term Indian summer" was
employed by the early settlers,
seems to be a myth. A short season
OF pleasant weather in the Central
and Atlantic Coast states, usually oc-
ours in October or November, more
rarely in December. 1t is Character
lied by an almost cloudless SKY,
calm or light airs, a hazy atmos-
phere. and mild temperature in the
day time, being ool at night. IL
may last one or two weeks and may
occur two or three times during a
season. AS to the origin of this ex-
preston, Mr.. Albert Matthews has
shown that there is no record OF 1t
until IVA, when 1t was in general
use throughout the Atlantic states.
G Can fish hear?-E. L. r.
A. Fish have no external nor
miGdle ear but only an inner one.
Various experiments point to the
conclusion that the ear in fish is
merely an organ of equilibrium.
G. Why do mimosa leaves open
and Closet. B. X.
A. Mimosa is a species of plant,
known as the sensitive plant, be-
cause Of its motile leaves. The mo-
tility Of the leaves is thought to be
related to protection against excess
i've loss of water and IL al ADJUST
ment to dry regions. This remark
able power enables the plant to con-
troll its leaf exposure according to
Its needs.
G. How many stars can be seen
with the naked eye and how many
with the largest telescope?-W. r.: 8.
A. The number of stars visible
to the naked eye, provided n stays
at a single place in the United States
for one year, would total 1000. With
modern telescopes it IS estimated
that 100, 100000 stars r visible.
G. What will clean a crock
which has contained preserved eggs?
"A. E. o.
A. The water glass which has
beer used for this purpose may be
dissolved with vinegar and removed
with a sharp knife.
Q. Does a magnifying lens mag
rify or simple concentrate heat from
the sun? If so, the more lenses 1t
shines through, is the heat that
much more intense I'M. r.
