the Wisconsin Senator.
La Toilette may not carry Indi-
ana, but the slogan reflects the spirit
Of optimism pervading the La Fol

statements given out by leaders that
well get a good vote"
From every part of the State. and
especially from industrial and rail
road centers. comes word that men
and women in all walks of life will
support La Toilette.
1t is predicted the independent
leader will draw about evenly from
Republican and Democratic ranks,
with possibly a shade more from the
Democrats.
Beside the usual dissatisfied vote
in both major parties, the Wisconsin
solon will poll the entire Socialist

Just To Be a Kid
Bv HAL COCHRAN

The man of today stands around,
watching play and his mind drifts
to years long ago. He's feeling, in
truth, just the calling of youth and
to kid days he's achin' to go.
When fellas are young, why the
song that is sung simply chants
about wanting to grow. The kid
sees his dad and he feels he'll be
glad when he's bigger now isn't that
so?
The years roll along; first he's
weak, then he's strong, as he
sprouts like the limb of tree. And
then comes the chance when he dons
his long pants and he's manly as
manly can be.
More years and more age as he
lives on life's stage and Of youth
days he's finally rid. And then Gust
like mem he is wishin again he
could switch back to bein' a kid

FIRST IT, S.
AIRPLANE
RECALLED
Requirements Were 1t Must
Be Able to Fly
Mile.
Times WASHINGTON Bnrean.


E-1ASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-In
WI these days when the air mail
|" flies with your letter from
New York to San Francisco in just
a little more than two sunsets the
specifications of the first airplane
ever ordered by the Government are
amusing.
Back in December, 1907-only
seventeen years ago-the Army
called for bids for plane that would
carry two passengers, fly for one
hour, and make a speed Of not less
than forty miles per hour" Further
more, it had to be demonstrated, for
the Government was taking no
chances on such freakish inventions.
In September, 1908, Orville Wright
began tuning up one Of his new in
ventions at FIT. Myer, Va, to fulfill
the terms OF the contract. His first
flight" was something like that of
a grasshopper, and ended in a
smash-up. Two days later he got
his death-trap aloft with a passen-
ger and it fell Lieutenant Selfridge
being killed and Wright seriously in
jured.
Builds New Plane
The following summer Wright
came back with a new machine. 1t
fulfilled requirements, remaining
aloft for one hour and twelve min
utes and exceeded the forty-mile
speed requirement by two whole
miles; The Wrights received a bo-
nus of $1,000 on their price Of S25, 900
and thus the Army's air service was
born.
In the conquest of the air
though, ithe late Prof. Samuel Lang
lev OF the Smithsonian Institution
made possible the success Of the
Wright brothers. Back in 1899 the
old professor solved the principles
of human flight He built a steam
airpiane. but the engine was hope
less and 1t wouldn't fly. Years
later Glenn Curtiss fitted the old
Langley plane with a gasoline en-.
gine-the type used by the Wrights
and flew 1t successfully over Wash
ington.
AS recently as 1910 the Armv
owned only one airplane. When we
entered the World War in 1917 1t
had Just sixty-five aviation officers,
of whom only thirty-five were fliers,
and ffty-fve planes. Of which nifty
one were obsolete.
France Makes Plea
A few weeks later France made
an urgent plea for this country to
send 16.500 airplanes and 80. 900 mo-
tors and men to fly them Before
the end of that year $500 had been
delivered to the Army, and in the
next year the deliveries scared TO
1916 planes. In the eight years
prior to the war only 142 planes had
been acquired.
Twice in earlier wars feeble at
temps to use aircraft had been made.
In the Spanish-American War the
Army owned a captive balloon, which
was sent aloft at FIT. Hamilton, n.
Y, to watch for the Spanish fleet,
and later taken TO Cuba. In the
Civil War observations from bal
looms were made by civilian aero
nauts, and it was here that Count
Zeppelin, acting as a military OBJ
server for Germany, got his idea
fer the giant dirigibles that later
bore his name.

Science

Comparisons between fossil os-
triches from northern India and liv-
Ing African ostriches have proved
that the feathers of birds were de-
veloped from scales, thereby bearing
out a theory of the evolutionists
At an early period in the world S
history there were no birds. In es-
Gaping from foes the ability of an
animal to move quickly often meant,
as it does today, the difference be-
tween life and death. Anything that
added TO the swiftness of creatures
was transmitted. This caused wings.
Wings increased the chances of sur.
vivaI and they remained.
In this early age of the earth,
giant reptiles flew by means Of
membraneous wings, but they had
no feathers and were not birds. But
the step between these egg laying,
scaly, flying reptiles to birds is not
a great one.

Olxra, or glmbo, much cultivated
in the South, was brought from
Africa in the old slave-trading times.
Most folks are familiar with its mu-
cilaginous green pods which are
cooked as a vegetable or used for
thickening soups or stews. The
ripe seeds are sometimes roasted and
used as a coffee substitute When
okra is allowed to overrun or es-
cape from cultivation, it proves a
bad weed. for plant will live for
years, if not frost-killed, and its
seeds retain their vitality for nearly
five years.
