HITS MACRUDER
Navy Yard Official Relieved
of Official Duties.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Rear
Admiral Thomas P Magruder, who
stirred ire of Navy officials by
charging extravaganza and ineff1-
cheney in the Navy Department, to-
day was Shorn of official duties and
given the status of awaiting or
ders," following a conference with
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur here.
Wilbur's purpose in taking this
course, 1t was learned, is to give
the Admiral opportunity to work
out measures to meet the deflcien-
cies with which he charged the de-
partment.
Whether further action will be
taken against the former command
ant of the Philadelphia Navy yard
will depend on the success of the
unusual mission, it was explained.
While awaiting ORDERS" Magru-
der will not be required to remain
here, but may go and come as he
pleases. An Office at the Navy De-
partment will be provided, if he de-
sires, and the cooperation of the
department extended. He still will
draw his full salary and allowances.
Magruder was removed from his
post at Philadelphia, which he gave
up Nov. S, because of his magazine
article containing the charges
against the navy department.

The World and All
FLYING STRAIGHT UP
By Charles p. priseoll

From time to time we hear Of various projects con-
neeted with the building Of an airplane that will rise
vertically from the ground and will descend vertically
and at controlled speed from the air.
None Of Us. | suppose. has any doubt whatever that
such a plane will be built. The only question involved
concerns when it will be built.
Hundreds Of inventors and engineers. the world
around, are at work on this problem of the heIicopter
or lowering device. Several fairly successful machines
have been launched, with great secrecy. and there il
a widespread belief that the British army may even now
have a helicopter that IL almost at the practical stage.
The Curtiss company is now engaged in preliminnrv
work on an airplane that Is designed to rise vertically.
This plane will have no motors for forward propulsion.
but will merely climb and glide and climb ard glide
again. It will not make the distance across the CONT
nent so rapidly as the present type OF plane but maybe
II will be SO much less liable to accident that there
will be a demand for il, even though IL pokes along
At sixty to seventy miles an hour.
Of course somebody will have a plane soon that
will rise and alight vertically. and also &c forward at
high speed. While we await the appearance Of this
phenomenon. aviation is growing as no other transpor-
tation industry in the history Of the world ever grew.
And here IL a lesson for cities. The towns that get
themselves adjusted to the new transportation first will
have a tremendous advantage. II / were to name the
features OF a city containing the greatest promise for
future commercial greatness. ] would place d perfect
airport first.
A perfect airport, Of course. should be close to the
heart OF the city. II should be large. and it can't be
too large. II should offer every facility for airplane
servicing, and i should be perfectly lighted.
The perfect airport should have a mooring mast for
airships- There are very few OF these mooring masts
IN North America now, and the inland city that puts
one on its airport before its ~neighbors get around to
the consideration Of such a project will have q publicity
asset that will be worth more than five hundred pa
rades and four hundred booklets issued by the chamber
Of commerce.
We're going to fly straight up soon. Meantime
aviation will 20 ahead. and the wise city will adirst
itself to flight. There are some excellent airports II
this country now. but many more are needed. What
American city for instance. will be to the airpIane in
dustry what Detroit il TO the autmobiIe business? The
lists are still open.

hr. Roosevelt has said the assumption has been i'm
illicit that that there was a great gulf fixed between
the Republicans and Democrats. the former represent

singular fidelity to public duty. There was little to
regret at Washington, and apparently nothing to re-

in the various census operations. In fact ii Is a singu-

ments in the original Harding Cabinet continue in Of
flee and that only those have paid any penalty who
were closely associated, and whose association was
proved, with actual irregular transactions.
There has been little comment upon this situation

fetal conduct than that represented by a Scotch YER
