Mr.. Washkowsky went to the cob

FIRST PLANE FLIGHT
SITE TO Be MARKED
New Jersey Sportsmen to Give
Government 50o-Acre Tract
for Memorial Park.

The establishment of national me-
mortal park on the sand dunes at Kitty
Hawk, N. c., to preserve for future gen.
erations the scene of the first airplane
fights of the Wright brothers has been
made possible through the efforts of two
New Jersey sportsmsn.
Frank l.. Stick of Asbury Park, N. j.,
first visited the region II years ago and
8 years after the Wrights hid aban-
doned their camp there. The world
had paid little thought to marking the
spot or to preserving the region in its
original condition.
Stick and several friends made num-
Der of hunting and fishing trips to
the Kitty Hawk region and soon started
to buy large areas of the coast as pri-
vate hunting and fishing grounds. Ao-
day Stick, Charles M. Baker and Allen
r. Hueth, all of Asbury Park, own
1000 acres of the dune country near
Kitty Hawk.
Their original holdings included the
Kill Devil Hills region, where the
Wriglts made their first glider flights.
This they turned over to North Caro-
lima memorial association in trust. They
now have completed arrangements to
give to the United States trait of 500
acres, including the area of the first
airplane fight, for national memorial
park.
The Government memorial to the
Wright brothers and the National Aero
nautic Association tablet marking the
exact spot from which the plane took
off on its first flight will be central
monuments In the park. Development
of modern airport is planned, as the
area is unsuited for the landing of mod
ern airplanes. A memorial Coast Guard
station is to be built on one end of the
reservation

HONOR FOR FIRST PLANE
FLIGHT STILL DISPUTED
Langley Machine Failed to Garry
Man on Sustained Aerial
Journey.

A model flying machine built by
Prof. Samuel P. Langley and driven
by steam engine using naptha as
a fuel made it's first successful flight
on May 6, 1896. 1t was the first time in
history that motor-driven airplane OF
any size had accomplished a sustained
flight.
AS a result of this success the War
Department allotted Prof. Langley
$4,000 to build full-sized man-carry-
ing "aerodrome" Two attempts to fly
this machine, made in 1908, were both
unsuccessful, and the machine was
wrecked in the second attempt.
The Government refused further aid,
and there has been a controversy which
never has been settled regarding the
practicability of the Langley machine.
In 1914. the same machine, recondi-
toned for the attempt and with
new motor, was flown by Glenn H.
Curtiss. Because of the renovating work
the controversy over the worth of the
original Langley plane still remains

WRIGHT MEMORIAL
SITE MADE READY
Engineers Anchor Moving
Hills to Prepare for
Project.

KITTY HAWK, N. C. (Pl.-The pale
moving sand dunes of Kitty Hawk are
to be turned into rolling green hills
that will be stationary through the
magic of modern engineering.
Army engineers have already started
operations that will eventually turn the
wind swept waste that was the scene OF
the Wright brothers first flight into a
national memorial park.
The stiff wind sweeping in of the
Atlantic, which brought the Wright
brothers to Kitty Hawk because it aided
them in gliding, has kept the mountains
of sand in constant motion.
Hill Has Moved.
Kill Devil Hill, the largest one in the
vicinity, chosen by the Wrights for
launching their gliders, has moved more
than 600 feet in the last 25 years.
Army engineers must anchor" this hill,
which is 80 feet high and several thou
sand feet in circumference, before they
can begin the erection of memorial.
Other dunes in the vicinity must be
made stationary to keep them from
covering up houses and woods, which
may be placed in the park. The AN
cioring'' project will be achieved by
planting vegetation, which will turn the
pale dunes into beautiful rolling green
hills. Heavy weed like grasses. which
root deeply into the sand, will be
planted first and others will be added
as the region is developed.
The reservation, which will be pre-
served as a national memorial park,
now embraces about 800 acres and is
in the custody of the Kill Devil Hill!
Memorial Association. Plans include
the extension of this area to about 500
acres and the turning over of the prop
erty for control and development by the
National Government.
Road System Planned.
North Carolina has already under
taken the building of concrete roads
through the State from main highway
toward Kitty Hawk and plans system
of highways that will lead directly to
Kitty Hawk and on to the scene Of the
first flight.
The region is very inaccessible at
the present time, with only the most
patient motorist succeeding in reaching
the Wrights first flying field" Roads
to Kitty Hawk from the mainland lead
through swampy and sandy areas that
are passable only part of the time. A
ferry must be used between Point Har-
Dor and Kitty Hawk landing.
: Bids have been asked for the con-
struc lion of a bridge three miles n
length, which will connect Point Har-
Dor with Kitty Hawk and eliminate
the necessity of the present slow ferry
system.

MAIL PLANE RECORDS
SHOW AERIAL PROGRESS
Opening of New Lines Adds to
Rapidly Changing Airways
Map of U. S.

The rapidly changing airways map of
the United States shows substantial
changes in this, the twenty-fifth ami
versary month of the first airplane
flight. as result of the carrying out OK
Post ONCE Department contracts for
the flying of air mail planes over 3,67S
miles of new routes daily.
AS result, during this month air
mail planes have reached the highest
mileage figure in their history. flying
$4,000 miles a day and more than
800 900 miles month, or approximately
equivalent to thirty-three times around
the earth at the Equator each month.
The new lines opened this month are
Chicago to Atlanta, 623 miles; Atlanta
to Miami, 622 miles; Evansville, Ind, to
st. Louis, las miles: St. Louis to Kansas
City and Omaha, 449 miles.
AS result of the enormous increases
In air mail route mileage during recent
months the total distance travelled by
air mail planes this year will total APP
proximately 100000 miles, according
to the figures Of the American Air
Transport Association. Air mail carried
will total approximately 3,400,000
rounds, in addition to 10000 express
shipments and hundreds of passengers.
Next year, it is estimated, the air mail

CHANGES OCCUR
AT KITTY HAWK
0rviIIe Wright viii Find Kill
Devil Hill Moved hy
Winds.

KITTY HAWK, N. c.. December Is
LP.-When Orville Wright, the worlds
first airplane pilot. returns to the scene
of his first successful flight Monday he
will find many things in this sandy sea-
shore village changed
Kill Devil Hill, from which he and
his brother Wilbur carried on their
early experiments with gliders, has
moved about 500 feet from the spot
where the Wrights knew it 25 years
ago. The stiff winds which blow across
this low sandy stretch without regard
for season or weather have moved the
sand mountain a little farther away
each year.
Cows Craze on Spot.
Queerly enough. the fiat sandy
stretch from which Orville took off on
his first flight in power-driven ma
chine is covered with a stubby. BRUSH
like grass. Had this grass covered the
sand when the Wright brothers first
went to Kitty Hawk to investigate its
conditions, they would no doubt have
rejected 1t as a landing" field. Today
cows are grazing around the historic
spot.
Orville Wright. the surviving CO.
inventor of the plane which made the
historic flight December II, 1908. has
when he spent some time here with
British friend on vacation.
The natives of the little Seashore VIII
Iage are anXiously awaiting the return
of the man whom they admit, bit re-
luctantly, first impressed them as being
another one of those flying nuts" Since
the Wrights first successful flights they
have been loud in their praise OF avia-
tion's pioneers and have held the little
| ,rrlA m
ognize as genius" in high regard.
William S. Tate, whom the folks down
here know just as Bill" is still as
enthusiastic as ever in his relation of
the events that took place before and
after the Wrights' first fight. Bill"
too. has changed in these 25 intervening
years A bit older, perhaps, and now
the lighthouse keeper at Kitty Hawk
instead of being at his old job as post
master.
Agree on Exact srot.
BILL recently rounded ID the three
surviving members of that little group OF
natives who watched the first flight
of man, and they agreed upon the
exact spot from which they saw Orv1lle
take off on that chilly December day
25 years ago.
w. L. Dough, A. D. Ethridge and
John Moore are the three surviving
natives who were spectators, and they
have driven a stake into the ground
at the scene of the first fight so that
workmen, who are preparing the erec-
ton of a tablet to mark the spot, might
be guided accurately.
Tate was not present on that me-
mortal December day, and that has been
one of his lifelong regrets. He had
watched the Wrights and their queer
antics on dozens of other occasions, but
was busy in the village when the word
first came that the Wrights had flown.
That message was to electrify the
world and set in motion a new urge
for men everywhere to try the SEEM
ingly impossible-to fly in a machine
of their own design. Only Is years have
passed. and man has already succeeded
in girdling the globe, spanning oceans
and crossing continents by airplane.

FLIGHTS ATTEMPTED
FIRST BY ANCIENTS
Wooden Dove" and "Chariots of
Fire" Were Used in Aerial
Trials.

The desire to fly was one Of the
earliest implanted in the human heart
and although man is only today cele-
brating the silver anniversary of the
first successful flight, histories of myth
ology and religion record that as early
as $50 BIC, one Aulus Gellius set about
conquering the air in his own peculiar
fashion.
Gellius, according to the records OF
the ancicnts, constructed a flying
model in imitation of dove made OF
wood &. made to fly by regulated
mechanics"
During the reign of Nero a certain
Simon was reputed to have assembled in
q chariot of fire. from the Forum at
Rome, the descriptions indicating the
possibility that he made his attempt to
fly in hot-air balloon.
Roger Bacon in 1856 made a famous
study of bird flight and predicted a
power-driyen airplane as one of the
future achievements of mankind. Early

USES "TAG" ALTIMETER.
Byrd Expedition Adopts Device to
Insure Accuracy.

Anew type of airplane altimeter, which
may be adjusted to conform to the
changing barometric pressures and so
insure greater accuracy under all service
conditions has been installed in one OF
the airplanes of the Comdr Richard Z.
Byrd expedition, now on its way into
the Antarctic.
The instrument. known as a Tag
altimeter, was designed in accordance
with suggestions made In reports to the
Bureau Of Standards and the national
advisory committee for aeronautics. It
has barometer-setting scale, and where
barometric pressureS are known at vari-
GUS points along line of flight, it is
possible to correct altimeter readings at
these points for the varying barometric
preSSureS.

have suggested huge floating landing
fields so designed that the action of
the waves in rough weather would be
minimized Others advocate the use
of large flying boats and floating har-
bors. 1t seems certainty however,
that the contemplation of an air route
over the ship lanes must. for the time
being at least, embrace the use OF some
such service stations along the way.
A route through Bermuda and the
Azores holds forth the most favorable
meteorological conditions, although sew
eral hundred miles would be added to
the Great Circle distance. The weather
is more stable and the wind velocities
more constant, in addition to the fact
that the temperature extremes of
northern course would not be en-
countered.
Element of Risk.
It is possible to fly over any of these
routes today, but not without great risk
of failure With the improvement OF
aircraft this risk is becoming smaller,
but for some time to come We can ex-
pect to lose larce percentage OF trans
oceanic attempts.
The flights of the past two years
can teach us much in avoiding disaster
in the future Many of the losses were
avoidable; the cause of others viii
never be known. AS result OF this
experience, however, We can lay down
q few basic rules.
The pilots for an ocean fight should
have a background of hundreds OF
hours of flying under every possible
condition. Above all. they must be
capable of flying for hours by their in
strumentS in fog and night.
All possible means OF Navigation
should be incorporated. including celes-
tial observation and radio communica-
ton. The plane should be inherently
stable and capable of maintaining level
flight without the aid of the pilot. In
many instances multi-motors are de-
sirable, and there should be means
of valving part or all OF the fuel load
in case of motor failure.
To attempt a flight acress the ocean
with ordinary equipment is like start
ing to Europe In an open boat. There
are no laws against 1t and should be
none, but if the venture is successful
very little is accomplished. and II 1t
fails there will be one more disaster
added to the already large list OF those
who have been lost at sea.
The real contribution to progress IS
made by those who organize an expedi-
ton just little better and bit more
advanced than any which have pre-
ceded.
1t would not be possible or desirable
to stop attempts at hazardous flights
in the future. but certainly no expedi-
ticn should be organized for such a
fight without the utmost preparation
and very definite object in view to be
accomplished.
