PLERIAN CHAUTAUOUA CIRCLE

The regular bi-weekly session of the
Circle was held in the school room on
November 10Th; and formally opened in
brief address by Pres. H. H. NJ.
After the reading of the minutes by
Secretary ]. Nj. c., Mr.. F. T. p made a
motion, which was seconded, to accept the
resignation of ]. NJ. c. as Secretary, who
was desirious of relief on account of his
inability to devote sufficient time to his
duties due to other activities. Though Mr..
]. M. C.'s wishes were carried out it was
done with considerable reluctance as his
peculiar fitness and popularity is unani-
mously felt. Yet the Circle will doubtless
have the honor of hearing some timely
articles from the fertile brain of the ex-
Secretary.
The nominations of E. w. L. by S. H.
F.; o. N. by J. M. c.; and B. A. B. by
D. B. for the secretaryship followed. On
instructions from Pres. Fl. H. NJ. ballots
were distributed; vote made and collected;
disclosing tie between Z. w. L. and
o. N.
AT this juncture E. w. L. Secured the
floor from the Chair" and with wonder

cation of his own fitness for the office
coupled with his musical endeavors paid

FOUR MILES A MINUTE

Those who are interested in the progress
of aviation, and that includes nearly every
body, cannot but rejoice at the strides
which have been made in the past few
months. Lieut. Doolittle's one-stop fight
from coast to coast, Macready and Kelly's
thirty-fve hours in the air, and now the
new records for speed by the planes en-
tered by the army in the meet at Detroit
are all notable. Averaging 2O6 miles per
hour over 1s6-mile course with several
turns sets an entirely new mark for human

Some of the other boys are perseverance,

and harmony.
The baby is opportunity.

turkey"
Talking isn't Steve's forte, so he went
into action. Mr.. Van Post got more of
missed out on, after the first round. The
heavy guy and got behind the desk and
watched the go from ringside. Van Post
swings mean left, at that, and it was
even for awhile. Heavy got excited and
spilled the ink all over his checkered pants.
Stevie finally landed the eminent COM
poser Mary Ann, on the button, and he
sure was in need of friend himself.
This time Stevie got the seventy-fve
which l collected, as Van Post was unable
to reach his pocket. I'm business man,
if do say it, and I took an extra saw
buck for interest just to show l was
familiar with percentage, even if I am

But how, you ask, did this start Stevie
on his way to fame. Brother, the heavy
guy was Joe Dugan, manager of One
Round Morphine, champion at all weights;
and Stevie Kline is now the runner-up
for the lightweight title. A contract was
signed that afternoon.

next vaudeville tour, come and see us.

IdNCi. approximately thiSC anu oiS-Hdil
miles per minute or over 800 feet per
second, comes the nearest to annihilating
space of anything yet accomplished And
even this was eclipsed in straightaway
flight at the rate of 24S miles per hour, or
over four miles a minute.
We cannot overlook the fact that this
great achievement is due primarily to that
pioneer of PRACTICAL aviation, Glenn H.
Curtiss, for, without in any way detracting
from the discoveries and achievements of
the Wright brothers and others, it was
Glenn Curtiss who won the first aircraft
prize for mile race in 1908 and year
later at Rheims brought home the Gordon
Bennett trophy by flying 1912 miles in IS
minutes, Sc and one-fifth seconds. Cuytiss
also made the spectacular flight of 142
miles from Albany to New York so early
in the game that it was necessary to stop
three times for fuel and OIL
AS if to crown his achievements, al
though he is still young man, both the
army planes which outdistanced everything
in the air, are result of the experience of
Glenn Curtiss and his organization. They
were not only Curtiss planes with his de-
signs of radiators built into the wings, but
Curtiss motors as well. 1t is not often that
a pioneer is able to keep pace with the
development of a new industry in such
way and it is gratifying to see one who has
been able to keep abreast of the times in
such rapidly developing science.
The pilots too must not be overlooked
Without them the best planes in the world
are of little value. The consistent per-
formance of the two ships is noteworthy
ard gratifying. The winner, Lieut.. R. c.
Vaughan averaged 2O6 miles an hour
while Lieut.. L. J. Maitland averaged 2O3,
although one lap of the latter's flight was
negotiated at the rate of 216.1 miles per
hour. Maitland's power gasoline pump
failed after the first lap and he drove the
remaining distance by handling the ship
with his right hand and pumping gasoline
with his left. And 375-hp. motor is hun
cry for gas all the time. Vaughan was
also under a heavy mental strain all
through the race and both pilots deserve
great credit for their performance.
From 40 miles an hour in 1909 to PAS
miles an hour in 1922 is remarkable
progress. Moreover, when we consider
that the planes which accomplished both
feats are from the hands of the same
designer, we are impressed both with the
short time required for aircraft develop
ment and the way in which a pioneer has
kept not only abreast, but in advance of
the times.-American Machinist

tribute to the writer and expressed wish
to withdraw. Whereupon, S. H. F. asked
for and received unanimous vote in
favor of o. N. Yet, though the writer
has plenty of vanity, he cannot help but
feel that he is, in measure, guilty of lar
Ceny.
Ably coached by J. M. c. the writer
assumed his new duties after thanking the
members for their generous action,
especially the fine self -abnegation of E. w.
L. (of course the writer felt some en-
barrassment and Swallowed his Adams
apple several times" yet he was sincere).
Pres. H. H. Nj. then called for new
members. One name was submitted and
referred to the committee on membership
for approval.
An application for reinstatement by
former member was received; placed on
the records and discussed. Action was
postponed in this matter pending further
details.
Distribution of books followed.
AS previously reported debate on:
as it Vital to Americas Continued Pros
perity for Congress to Pass the Ship Sub
sidy Bill?" was held. R. J. T. and P. J.
B. argued the affirmative while S. H. F.
and F. T. P. handled the negative.
While there was much said in favor of
both sides; and because of the capable,
thorough and intelligent manner in which
the debate was held there seemed to the
writer little to choose between the de-
baters ;syet it was the general concensus of
the Circle, signifed by "Ayes," that the
negatives won. In the words of Mr.. S.
II. F.: "Yankee Ingenuity needs no Ship
Subsidy, Certainly such bill is not
VITAL" is summed up the winning argu-
ment.
An amusing incident that blended well
with the dignity of the Circle was MIR. r.
]. rs paradoxical remarks-after ar
guing vely-that he was in reality
opposed to it! Another illustration of his
wholesome satire
After the debate, on a call for more
business by Pres H. H. NJ, F. r. P. arose
and paid tribute to deceased honorary
member, the late Deputy Warden, J. w.
Backland, whose demise occurred two
years ago, November 21st. The warm
praise and profound sorrow expressed by
F. T. P. was generally conquered in by
the Circle.
Pres. H. H. NJ. then announced and
assigned the following papers to be read
December 18th:
Music" by Mr.. B. A. B.
Gears" by Mr.. D. B.
GOOD Roads," by Mr.. J. M. C.
general discussion for the good of the
Circle followed and a motion was made
and seconded to secure data on several
matters to be threshed out at the next
meeting.
