WHERE GOOD PLANES GO

The Smithsonian Institution at Washington is to be the repository of the Spirit of St. Louis after Colonel Lindbergh gets through with 1t. That we gather from news dispatches to that effect. A record of the accomplishments of the Spirit of St. Louis is vividly portrayed on the plane itself; flags of every na- ton it has visited are painted on the nose of the fuselage; under each flag is the date Of arrival in the country represented. Visitors to the Institution in the future will have no difficulty in following the achievements of the colonel and his plane; the entire story will be on the plane itself. Needless to say. it is the most decorated airplane in existence.
 We are reminded of a peculiarity of the Smithsonian Institution in connection with plane flights, how ever, and one not exactly to the credit of the great Washington re- pository of historic airplanes.
 The 25th anniversary of the first flight by the Wright brothers comes this year. But the plane of the Wright brothers, which made his- tory at Kitty Hawk on the coast of North Carolina, is not in the Smith, sonian Institution. Instead. it will go to the South kensington Museum in London.
 In the Smithsonian Institution, however. is the Langley machine, which didn't fly. Professor Langley, an eminent scientist. was connect ed with the Smithsonian. That is where he got his bread and butter. Upon the Langley machine exhibited in the Institution is notice reading:
 Original Langley flying ma chine, 1903, the first man-carry-
 ing plane in the history of the world capable of sustained free
 flight. Invented. built and tested
 over the Potomac river by
 Samuel Pierpont Langley in
 1903. Successfully flown at
 Hammondsport, New York, June ?, 1915"
 Note the difference ill the dates. The machine admittedly was not successfully flown until 1914. The | Wrights successfully flew their ma- chine for the first time in 1908. They 1 had gone to Kitty Hawk in 1900, | 1901, and 1902. By October, 1902, | their gliders had made almost 1 1,O00 | flights, covering distances up 10 GOO feet. Then they built their self i propelled or power driven plane, | and on December IT, 1903. Orville i made the first flight in if, and it was success There has never been a scintilla of doubt about if.
 The Wrights were poor mechanics. and before engaging in airplane ex- . perllncntS were bicNc1. repairers in ! Dayton. Ohio. Langley was an eminent scientist. Langley had tn. idea Of flight in his head about the same time the Wright brothers did put the poor mechanics beat the scientist to d fraZzle in perfectine the idea. Yet the Smithsonian re- l fuses to recognize the Wright achievement 10 the extent of placing It ah'ad of the Langley effort. The Institution welcomed Wright plane, but specified machine of about 13oS. rather than the original plane of 1903,

fsasor Langley. The professor built . house-boat for use on tho Potomac, and 1t had a 7o-foot runway on top of 1t. from which the plane was to be catapulted into the air. The trial was made on October 2. 1908, and the result simply sealed the lips of the experimsnters. The only reliable statement available is the eye-wit- ness account of a reporter, who said:
 "A mechanic stopped, cut the
 cable holding the catapult;
 there was 2 roaring, grinding
 noise-and the Langley airship
 tumbled over the edge of the
 houseboat, and disappeared in
 the river 60 feet below. It
 simply slid into the water like
 handful of mortar"
 Another trial and another failure
 
 followed. It was not until II years later. at Hammondsport, when further experiments were deemed necessary in connection with a dis pute over patent rights. that the plane was made to fly.
 The American public has been fair, just and generous in yielding credit where 1t is due. The Smith sonian Institution has been prejudic- ed in favor of Langley because he was connected with the institution. For this reason the surviving Wright will not send the original plane to Washington. but to England instead.
