in his little laboratory at the Smith
sonian. And it was in this room on
the second floor that he perfected his
work after so many heart-breaking
failures.
It was from this room that he took
his model with his friend, Alexander
Graham Bell, for tests at the little
wooded spot on the secluded island OF
Chopawamsic, near Quantico, on the
Virginia shore of the Potomac some 80
miles below Washington.
More than 20 times had he taken his
plane down to ChopawamSic before sue
cess rewarded his efforts. Langley was
watching from the shore when the big
moment came. Bell was by his side
with a pocket camera.
AS the little plane, powered with a
midget steam engine which could re-
volve the propeller only 1900 times a
minute, rose in the air and new down
the Potomac for about a half mile,
those who witnessed 1t could hardly
believe their eyes.
Bells pocket camera caught the
weird looking contraption in flight. An

from the wall of the first floor at the
Smithsonian.
That first flight was on May 6, 1896

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
By HERBERT PLUMMER.

United States Senate and it's o pretty
safe bet before you get very far some
one will advise:
Go and talk it over with Charlie
McNary."
For they all know on the hill that the
dapper. well groomed, youthful appear
ing Senator from Oregon perhaps keeps
his ear closer to the political ground
than any of his colleague. Very little
indeed transpireS around the Capitol
that McNary is not familiar with.
A Stanford University man and per-
sonal friend of Herbert Hoover, there
is little doubt that many Senators have
relied on the tall Oregonian for the cor
rect steer during the hectic days of this
special session of Congress. But aside
from his personal connections, it long
has been recognized that McNary is
power in his own right.
It occasioned no surprise, therefore,
when Senator Jim Watson packed his
bag and left the Senate for a three
weeks rest in Florida, that McNary's
name was heard In connection with
conversations as to who would succeed
to the majority leadership.
And such rumors had more weight
when 1t was recalled that Senator
Wesley Jones, assistant majority leader,
had previously declined to contest with
Watson for the post.
The name McNary is synonymous in
the minds Of most people with the
words farm relief. AS chairman Of the
Senate's agricultural committee, he and
Representative Gilbert N. Haugen of
Iowa. in an effort to solve the difficulties
of the farmers of the West and Middle
West, offered the McNary-Haugen bill
Because Of the wide interest in the
bill, It became one of the best known
titles of proposed legislation that had
appeared in Congress in years.
1t is as a champion of farm relief that
McNary now enjoys national reputa-
ton.

Fashions in Folding Fol-

BIZ FLORENCE LA GANKR.

When Nancy came to arrange her
new linen closets she decided that she
might as well settle upon some definite
rules for folding her freshly laundered
linen. Then, having settled that, it
would be easy to keep the shelves look
ing neat and tidy.
She had small napkins of tea size,
napkins used for breakfast and
luncheon and the large dinner napkins.
In addition, there were the tiny fruit or
cocktail napkins, but these small bits
Of linen needed no folding.
She instructed her laundresS to fold
the tea napkins in triangular folds.

take the side Of the wheat growers. He
was credited with the establishment of
the primary wheat market, which saved

McNary enjoys tremendous personal
popularity among his colleagues. They
