INVENTS SUIT TO HELP MAN
 FLY AS BIRD

PARIS, Aug. 31.-Practical tests of the human bird suit, invented by Dr. Magnan, will be made at Dieppe l in few weeks. The apparatus which | Dr. Magnan has constructed to at tach to the human body weighs less than 15O pounds. It consists of two wings less than yard long and a | fuselage and tail.
 "For years I have been observing birds and their fight" explains the inventor. q have discovered noth- ing. I have simply observed and noted my obsrvations. It is possible that I have made mistakes in my deductions" Dr. Magnan describes the results of his years of work to the editor of the sporting newspaper L'Auto.
 "In the first place gliding flight and sailing flight are too often con- fused. Gliding signifies to take ad- vantage of an angle of fall; sailing means to depart from given point and, profiting by the wind, to reach height superior to that of the start.
 OBSERVES SEAGULLs
 q have observed thousands of sea- gulls. These birds take off from a high point, get a good start on the fall and then turn their faces into the wind. They then shorten the length of their neck, contracting it. This changes the center of balance, inclining their bodies to the rear and raising the tails. It is in this manner that a bird attacks an air wave and progresses.
 After the wave has been passed the bird lengthens his neck, which shifts the center of gravity toward the front. The body is heightened and the tail is lowered. This is the position of the volplane, or gliding. The combination of these two posi- tions is repeated time after time as the bird strikes the air wave. It is the combination of the two which brings the bird forward through the air without Tapping it's wings.
 "Of course while progress is made it is made in an undulating up and down and sidewards line. Frequently the curve is almost impreceptible. The birds wings do not beat during this operation, but on the other hand they do not rest motionless. The ends of the wings are in constant motion, but by dissection I have dem- onstrated that there are no mus cles attached to the ends. The mo- tion is caused by the air.
 MAKES EXPERIMENTS
 "This is what I have observed by sailing on the wing as entrusted with gliding. Of course many ex- periments have already been made with gliding. Let me add that the birds have wings which are very supple; I almost said soft. The del icacy of the wings warns the bird of the changing currents of air. The device I have arranged for my hum- an bird to take the place of this characteristic of birds wings is an anemometer siren which whistles with the changing of the pressure of the wind waves and advises the man bird when he should glide and when he should sail"
 M. Magnan intends to do the first experimenting himself but has se- cured the services of a famous French aviator who has himself done much research work in the field of volplaning. If the first tryouts at Dieppe promise success Dr. Magnan will continue the experimenting at Calais.

RIGHT PROTECTION
FURNISHED BY THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Extract from the speech of Senator
Robert l.. Owen, September 27. 1922:
When the Democrats came into
power in 1913, they put through the
most magnificent, liberal. progressive
program ever enacted by any party
In the history of the world in the
same length of time
The revision of the tariff down
(instead of up) removed it's inequities,
extravagances and abuses, lowering
the schedules which prohibited i'm
ports and which had been previously
drawn top rOtect monopoly in the
United States, and they run the cor
rupt lobby out of the national capitol.
They put the necessaries of life on
the free list, and within six years our
foreign commerce increased from four
billions to ten billions of dollars.
They remembered the everlasting
Interchangeable truth that imports and
exports, in the long run, measure each
other, and that when you prevent i'm
ports you prevent exports and deprive
America of it's legitimate foreign mar
kets.
The Democrats established the
non partisan tariff commission for
the purpose of taking the tariff out
|of politics, ascertaiDing the truth, sci
|entifically and i1npartially, and advis-
ing congl ess at what point the tariff
should be placed for the purpose of
producing revenue, and at the same
time affording incidental protection
necessary for protecting our own in
dustries; and, be it remembered, that
a democratic revenue is always high
enough to more than measure the diff
ference in the cost cf production at
home and abroad. A democratic reve-
nue. tariff is higher than is necessary
to measure the difference in the cost
of production at home and abroad, and
more than enough to give all the pro-
lection needed by our industries, as
overwhelmingly demonstrated in the
tables taken from our Census Reports
The Democracy is the best friend of
our manufacturing industries and
would expand their markets as well as
protect them from unfair foreign com-
petition. TO charge the Democracy
with indifference to the protection Of
legitimate industry is a calum1y. The
Democracy only opposes frauds per-
petrated under thep lea Of protection
which shelters monopoly and robbery
of the consumer

]. PETE SOb|ESkI,
W|NSLOW FIREMAN
POLISH KING

| Last Sunday the Los Angeles PAGERS
! gave almost page to wrlte-ur
about Peter j. Sobieslxi who was .
| fireman in Winslow on the Albuquer-
que division until his injury in a
building accident in Chicago in 1920
Pete, as he was familiarly known to
all of us here, often said that he was
a Polish prince, but few knew that
he was the hereditary King of Po-
land, he being lineal descendant of
John Sobieski, the Farmer King of
Poland and one of the last monarchs
| of that country. Pete, in his inter-
view, gave a resume of his expert
ences in the Russian-Japanese war
and his later escape from a Russian
prison after having been taken for a
spy against the czar. He states that
he was offered the throne of Poland
while he was working for the Santa
Fe here. His article, interesting as it
is, is not entirely new to all. as he
liked to reminiscence while he was Il
resident of this city.
Following is from the Los Angeles
Examiner under Chicago date line:
"The King of Poland, the man who
would wear the historical crown Of
the ancient kingdom if the hereditary
monarchy were restored, is an Ameri-
can citizen, an unassuming working
man.
What is more, he is content to re-
main so. No dreams of empire for
him. No mysterious plotting of revo-
lutiOns.
American citizenship is the highest
rank he desires, and, having obtained
it, he has put from his mind the hope
of ermine and scepter.
"Peter Sobieski is the name Of the
kingdomless king. He lives in Chi
cago with his American born wife
and three American born children. He
earns $40 a week, lives simply, is
happy, and is reluctant to even dis
cuss his ancient ancestry and present
rights.
Peter John Sobieski is the liueal
descendant of John Sobieski. the Far
mer King of Poland, and displays
records to prove it. The Farmer
King was the last of the Polish mon
archs, a mighty man in European his
tory, whose name thrdlled the civilized
world when he drove back. the hordcs
of Turks from the very gates of
Vienna and saved Europe from the
oriental deluge."
While other ex-kings and ex-em-
perors and ousted princes and other
Fscions of royalty are running around
Europe looking for for means of re-
gaining their thrones or for place
to eat, John Peter Sobieski pete of
Winslow), rightful heir to throne
and lots of trouble is contentedly
living with his family on $40 q week
in Chicago and telling the whole
royal outfit of Europe to go to.

THE BUBBLE GIVEN BY
LYCEUN AT H. S.
AUDITORIUM
"THE BUBBLE. BUBBLES OVER
WITH A WEALTH OF GOOD,
CLEAN HUM0R, NOV. 4TH.

This play is brought here by the
Woman's Club, November T. and prom
ises to be the greatest treat of the
season.
Lyceum patrons will be delighted to
know that the local committee has
been abel to secure for them a da C
on Edward Locke's delightful three
act comedy, "The Bubble" one of the
cleanest and cleverest comedies of the
American stage. 1t is eminently suit
ed to the Lyceum because of the splen-
did moral it teaches.
Thed ramaw as first introduced by
the church as a means of presenting
sermons in powerful way, and it is
fitting that it should now be taken
up by the great Lyceum movement as
q means of driving home vital ques-
tions.
The Bubble abounds in wealth
Of comedy, yet it teaches the folly Of
'get-rich-quick" schemes. While COM
edy predominates, there is clever
love story running through the play,
"a bitof pathos, and numerous dramatic
situations.
The play was made famous in New
York by Louis Mann, whose work as
Gustav Mueller made New York laugh
for weeks Mr.. Bennett makes much
of the part and his acting and the
comedy Of the lines has made "The
( Bubble most popular with Lyceum
audiences His is part that a man
must be born Gor If the part had
been written for Bennett, it could not
fit him better He is a great player
and his company will fully sustain
the reputation made in Lyceum by the
Climax" and the "Mollusk."

W|NSLOW Wins
OVER CLARKDALE
IN GREAT GAME

! saturday afternoon, before large
crowd of Winslow students and
townspeople, the High School football
team defeated the Clarkdale Miners by
the score of 54-14.
thriller because CT the fact that
Clarkdale was the first to score a
Tor while looked to be the equal of
the local team.
Clarkdale picked up a tumble on
their own 36-yard line and proceeded
to take it down the field for a touch
down, followed by all the Winslow
team, who made hard try to catch
them, but were not able, so had tC
give the visitors the points at the first
five minutes of play.
Winslow took brace after the
score by the Miners, and few min
utes later Hubbard intercepted pass
ana Long drove the line for the first
points for the locals.
The second quarter proved as livcIv
as the first, when Ciarkdale succeeded
in picking up another one of the
many Winslow lanbles and after a
series OF hard, inc smashes and even
harder backing by the Maroon and
White. the Miners put across their
second touchdown.
Winslowswas not to be outdono by
the visitors, however and rushed
down the field, good open field run
ming netting the necessary ground for
their second touchdown. Score as the
half was up, 1912.
With the beginning of the second
half, Sutherland started the scoring
for the high school by dropping a
neat Kick between the uprights for
three points, making the score 1913
in favor of WinsIow
Clarkdale tried their luck at kick
ing next and Sutherland received tho
ball and ran rs yards for a touch
down.
An intercepted pass gave the home
team another score, and soon after
that another was chalked up, brill
liant open field running by Suther-
land and Herman Thornton being the
cause
The remainder of the game was un-
eventful except for thei injury to Suth-
erland in the last quarter and tho
march down the field by the locals
was not halted till the timekeepers de-
lcided that the last of the fifteen min
utes had gone and Doc" Gilpin
called time and awarded the game 10
the local team.
ClaLkdale's heavy halfbacks and
monstrous full were responsible for
their gain through the lines, aud
much credit must be given the quar-
terback, as he handled the team in a
very efficient manner.
Sutherland. Thornton and Williams
were the bright and shining lights for
the Winslow team and, though not
playing a spectacular game of any
kind. Long. at quarter, showed some
classy generalship when he needed
yards for gains.
Winslow plays but one more
at home and that will be on Th'
giving Day at the ball Park at p. m.
This Saturday the team journeys to
Holbrook to play them a return game
and they expects to take their hosts
into camp to much bigger score
than before.

Open LETTER FROM
GOV. C.W.P.HUNT
TO MAI. KELLY

Major Geo II. Kelly, Editor Douglas
International, Douglas, Arizona.
My Dear Major Kelly: Your com
munication of October 6 awaited my
return to Phoenix yesterday. / note
from your letter that certain propa-
ganda is being used relating to the
/. W. w. and the allegations of certain
republicans that / am in sympathy
Herewith. l thank you for your letter
and your sentiments in connection
with this propaganda
1t is my usual policy to ignore such
matters and to continue in my hum
BILE way to do what I consider to be
right. 1t should be needless for me
at this time to reply to such propa-
ganda as being used by certain
republican politicians. All of the
charges and innuendo which they are
now making were filed. in the shape
of charges with the Foreign Relations
Committee of the United States Sen
ate, by certain republican politicians,
in an effort to prevent my confirma-
tion as United States minister to
Siam. The charges were fully investi-
gated by the United States senate and
dismissed as unworthy of cOnsidera-
tion by unanimous vote of the for
eign relations committee, of which
Warren G. Harding. then a senator,
now President of the United States,
was a member.
My life has been lived largely in a
mining community / started life in
Arizona working for wages, and up to
the time of my election as Governor Of
Arizona, l had been engaged in the
commercial and banking business. /
was president of the Old Dominion
Bank in Globe and the Old Dominion
Commercial company, two of the lead
ing institutions in their respective
lines in the county seat of ella county.
/ was in daily contact for q genera
tion with the miners and working
people of this state. | know and SYM
pathize with their problems, and it
was my chief pleasure, as we'll as my
duty, as lawmaker and as chief exec
utive of this state, to do what was
possible to tighten the burden and
make easier the lives of those people
whose burden is indeed havy.
1t, to m, appears bordering on the
ridiculous for any one to seriously
consider that 1, a former banker. a
man with Investments in property in
many counties of the State of Arizona,
would consider or sympathize with
any group or organization of men
whose philosophy of life would lead
to the destruction of property values.
You may rest assured that it was
never my policy to encourage organi-
cations or individuals who would seek
ca remedy industrial conditions by the
destruction of property, or the policy
of the violent overthrow of our constti
tuition and laws. However, I have al
ways been, and will continue to be, in
sympathy with the legitimate aspira-
tions of organized labor.
You will recall that during my adj
ministration such, properties as the In
spiration, the Magma, the United
Verde Extension, the Ray Hercules,
the New Cornelia and the United
Eastern were developed and put on a
producing basis, and that our agricul-
tural and livestock industries were
largely increased.
And again thanking you for calling
this matter to my attention. and with
kind personal regards, / am, respect
fully yours,
(Signed) GEO. w. P. HUNT.
