 Was Genuine Scientist
 Associates frequently urged him to obtain patents on his ''aero- drome" inventions, but he was a scientist at heart as well as in fact, and he was secretary of an institution founded to assemble and develop knowledge for the benefit of all. When the time came to honor his memory with a tablet at the entrance of the principal building of the Smith sonian group, his attitude, phras- ed in his own words. was printed in raised letters on the bronze. After demonstrating the possi- bility of flight, he had written:
 T have blought to close the portion of the work which seem ed to be specially mine the demonstration of the practicabil- ity of mechanical flight. For the next stage, which is the conner cial stage, the world must look to others. The great universal highway overhead is now soon to be opened"

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA.


 Samuel Pierpont Langley, the astronomer who first demonstrat- ed the feasibility of mechanical flight. died in 1906, but the shadow of his greatness as a scientific seer and a man remains vigorous influence 21 years later in the Smithsonian Institu- ton, which he served for 19 years as secretary.
 A number of the men who worked with him during the years he labored to develop his flying machine--the aerodrome, he called it--are still attached to the stan of the institution. Their memories of him arc vivid today. As boys or young men, they were profoundly impressed by the knowledge and foresight Of the reserved scientist they served.
 Makes Prediction
 One whose contact with him was particularly intimate recalls that in the early nineties, long before his Aerodrome No. 5 made the first successful flight of q heayier-than-ai machine driven by it's own power. on May 6, 1896, Langley put into words his fear that the flying machine might become an instrument of death and destruction.
 Debating to his secretary, he expressed hope that an interna tional convention would be de- vised to prohibi: the use of "aerodromes' in time of war to attack cities and industrial cen ters.
 He saw the great possibilities of heavier-than-a flying ma- chimes as instruments of war, for reconnaissance and quick com munication. and as engines of peace. But he dreaded the thought that any one should die in them or because of them. For

SEATTLE, Feb. 4. P)-Senator Tom Jensen of Nome, en route to visit friends at Fargo, N. D., predicted that commercial aviation will be an accomplished fact in Alaska before it gets a firm foothold in the States be- cause of long distances and slowness of driving overland compared to fly- ing. Alaskans are willing to pay $500 from Nome to Fairbanks by airplane. He believes the price will be cut to $25O, which would be a real saving when the value of time is counted.

WAGE FARLEY HELD IN MIAMI, FEB. A
 0N COAL QUESTION
BITUMINOUS FORCES TO HOLD BIG CONFERENCE IN SUNNY
 SOUTH

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 4. P)-: How steadily will burn the bobbing lights on the caps of 100000 miners in the great central soft coal field of the United States during the next few years will be determined in the sunshine of Miami, Fla, at confer ence starting February IA.
 Miners and operators representa- tives in the central competitive field of western Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois will start negotia- tions then for an agreement to SUD- plant the Jacksonville wage scale, which expires March 31, 1927
 Nationwide importance attaches to the gathering, however, because the wages in other States having bitu- minous mines are based on the agree ment reached for the central com- petitive field.
 Neither miners nor operators will give any definite indication of the de- mands they expect to make at the con- ference, but their attitudes during ! three years of the Jacksonville scale was made plain at various times.
 The miners firmly opposed any at- tempt to open mines at wage scale lower than that called for in the Jacksonville agreement, and the op- orators in some States asserted they could not pay the scale and success fully compete with the product of the West Virginia non-union fields.
 'sIt would be indiscreet now," said John Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, Tfor either side to venture it's idea of the proper wage terms.
 "The theory of the joint conference is that the committee representing the miners ano operators will decide at the conference what are acceptable terms for the new wage agreement" ] Coal is pouring out of the central competitive field mines in great quan- titles, because of the demand created by the British strike, and big season al demands of railroads, industrial concerns and public utilities. The present activity is expected to give an advantage to the miners. Be- cause of the high prices being received 1 for coal, the Jacksonville scale is be- ing pair at virtually all mines, both union and nOn-union.
