London. Aug. 26.
England will hold a meet for gliders
or motorless airplanes here next month
IL plans inaugurated by some Of the
leading aviators and patrons Of avia-
tion in the country arc carried out.
Already a London newspaper has
offered a prize of fi 900 for the best
flight, open to hiers Of any nation,
while leading airmen are calling for
British designs.
The imagination OF all England has
been stirred by the feats Of the Ger
man student gliders at the Gersfeld
meet. and within the last few days
plans for the September meet have
been launched by the Air Sailing Club,
headed by a group of flying experts.
The Dailu Mail at once offered $1,000,
open to airmen OF any nationality in
n competition TO be held next month
for the longest flight by a motorless
glider, provided the fight exceeds
thirty minutes. The competitors must
rise and descend within n specified
area. The newspaper also announced
that 1t would offer larger prize next
year for tests OF the same character.
British experts do not hesitate 10

ing, theoretically, needs only a con-
tinuation Of the wind, either steady or
without gusts; practically, it requires
ability on the part of the pilot to
maintain his nerve, keep control OF his
machine and utilize favorable wind
conditions. We have not yet solved
the problem of soaring"
This, in brief, is the summing up OF
II. r Hentzen, the young student OF
the Hanover Technical School, who
astonished the world on last Thursday
by remaining in the air for three hours
and ten minutes and setting a new
world record in a glider or motorless
eirplane at the tests which are being
conducted here.
Hentzen is a modest younR student
who was picked with his companion
Martens because of their experience
with combat planes to fly the glider
entered by their school. Previous to
Hentzen's record flight Martens had
established world record Of 66ymin-
utes with the same machine.
Hentzen. i'm an interview with
the correspondent Of THE New YORK
HERALD described his flight and pointed
out the different features of his ma
chine. Their glider is called Vampire

largely to the terrain about Wasser-
kuppo hill, where the tests were held,
the participation of highly skilled
aviators and the development of the
Hanover vampire type.
The wasserkuppe hill Is $50 meters
high and in his flight Hentzen went
100 meters over the summit OF the
hill Then he settled down at height
of less than 200 meters and flew with
a wind which blew at between seven
and nine miles an hour. Instruments
showed that the maximum height OF
lg6 meters was attained after an hour
and three quarters. The flight ended
ten kilometers from the starting point.
At one time during the flight the wind
died down to two meters a second.
The Vampire, in which Hentzen and
Martens made their record flights,
looks like some ungainly bird when
flying in the air, but it Is noted that
since last year. when other tests were
held here, the planes are tending more
toward a uniform type.
The filer may start from level
ground but In the tests they start
from the hill, thus gaining greater
initial speed. but at present the start
ing is by no means a simplified oper-
alton. The hop off In Martens's rec
ord flight is a fair sample. On that
day fifty-three contestants we're in
form and there was an active scene
about the huge bald hill. The Vam-
pire took it's place on the side of the
hill, accompanied by three sturdy fell
low students OF the pilot. Each Of
these held the end of a rope which
was thrust through a hook just be-
meath the machines nose.
There was some little jockeying
with the wind. which was blowing at
about five meters second. and when
the pilot considered the moment fa-
vorable he signalcd to let go. The

has received little notice from the
crowds, which are too busy watching
the fights.
A number Of noted German scien-
lists were on hand. The German Aerial
Scientific Society was represented by a
technical committee which tested the
machines, another which coordinated
the results, and a third which investi-
gated the question of aerial dynam-
les. a meteorologist from the Univer-
sity of Frankfort is publishing the
first results OF his researches into the
meteorological conditions most fayora-
BILE to these flights.
The conditions OF the grand prize
offered by the association OF German
aeroplane manufacturers call for a
fight of forty minutes against the
wind, the plane then to pass between
two marks set 100 yards apart and the
flight to be continued for three miles.
Gustav and Otto Lilienthal were the
pioneers In Germany in motorless
airplane flying Otto was killed in 1895
in an experimental flight. Prof. Ed
ward Warner has done much for the
development Of gliding in Germany
and II was he who organized the first
convention OF gliders at this place.
The great majority OF the machines
here were built OF the same materials
as the motor planes. the framework
Of light wood with some OF the parts
covered with metal while the wing
covering Is the same as In the regula-
ton plane. The Germans call the
motorless planes "sailers." and they
point to the fact that that is what
they do--sail. trimming their wings to
take advantage OF tho winds and
variable air currents. Their wings
taper to fine point. with the middle
parts and the part near the body much
thicker. The wings are bent at a
sharp angle and have surface load
Of ten kilograms a square meter. al

In Minnesota more than a dozen

Illinois and nineteen in Arizona. In
practically every State west of the
Mississippi River women are serving
on State, county and local boards OF
education and have been appointed by
Governors TO direct institutional work
for women and children.
In the conservative South women
are being elected and appointed right
and left to posts which carry respon-
sibility for education and for improv-
ing conditions for women and children.
Mississippi has just elected its first
woman as county superintendent of
schools, Miss Josephine Fits of Nat

The very element among voters

general housekeeping at the City

always support the candidates whom
it elects to perform these ticklish
jobs. This is particularly true when
1t elects women. because the same un-
settled conditions and discomfort

sion of public opinion in favor of
drastic measures recommended in her
minority report. Ten thousand sig

What Mrs. Landes does not say is
this--she is giving practically all of
her time to her job of helping to
govern Seattle, just as the business
men said she would. Seattle pays its
Councilmen $4,000 a year. The average
man who accepts the Office claims that
he cannot support his family on this
salary alone, SO he usually holds some
other commercial or industrial posi-
ton, or continues to conduct the busi-
ness in which he was engaged before
being elected. As result the affairs
of Seattle receive only part of his
attention and he Is rarely to be found

sions of the council and committee

Business men figured that woman
of Mrs. Landes's mental caliber and
efficiency could give most OF her time
and attention to the affairs Of Seattle
without neglecting her duties as wife
and home maker, and she is proving
that they figured correctly From the
very day of her election She has made
an intelligent study of Seattle, its con-

some of the faults as we'll as the
virtues of the zealot they can hardly
be blamed, when all of their own sex
and a fair sprinkling of men have
argued that cleaner politics must fol-
low the election of women, just as
sanitation has followed the flag into
our colonies.
For this reason, those who are in
terested in the achievements of
women in politics are watching with
interest the record being made by two
women elected this spring to the City
Council of Seattle, by the so-called bet
ter element of voters, men and women.
Seattle has all the big problems of
a fast growing city, including labor
troubles, housing shortage and the
various forms OF vice peculiar to a
port for ocean steamers. Organized
women decided that what Seattle
needed IN its municipal adminstra-
ton was Woman's viewpoint, her
thrift and housewife,y habits, her nat
ural protective instinct toward the
young. After careful consideration
of available political material they Sc
lected Mrs Henry Landes as their
banner bearer in the spring campaign.
Mrs. Landes is truly representative
of the class that nominated her. She
is home maker of experience and
culture, the wife of dean at the Uni

university woman. She is a mother
and has rendered social service for
college students and for wage earning
women of her city. She has served
on practically every civic committee
of organized women from the strenu-
Gus days of war drives to the more<
recent fight on drugs, which has fol-
lowed close on the heels of prohibi-
ton in this port, where ships from the
Orient dock almost daily. And for

tions, she Is of a democratic nature,

Each Woman Has
Some Uplift Plan

Quite the strongest impression left
by many interviews with women can
didates and office holders was their
idealism. Some of their platforms read
like creeds, but for the most part each
candidate had some particular reform
or uplift measure foremost in her
mind as well as her platform.
One woman who has seen service in
France during the war, headed her
platform as a candidate for the State
Legislature with 100 per cent. Amer
icanism." Right there her troubles
began, for she was running in a State
