DOGS BARKING SAVES
CHILD From SNAKE

Athboy, S. D.-The fierce bark.
ing Of the family dog caused Mrs.
Chas. Green and Mrs. Fly, who
was visiting Mrs. Green, to look
out of a window of the Green
home to discover the reason for
the barking.
They were mortified to see a
monster rattlesnake coiled up on
the ground just outside the win
dow, with the dog barking at it
and keeping just beyond reach of
the reptiles deadly fangs.
Mrs. Green's little daughter,
Elva May, was only a few feet
from the snake. The two women
rushed out of the house and
snatched the child from the dan
ger zone. The dog is credited
with having saved the little girl.

Changing brass:
The yellow earth sprawled flat
along the rocks
Like some great cat, half dead
from heat and thirst;
The trees stood scorched and
rigid, drowned in glare.
Now suddenly. across the brazen
sky,
Across the miles Of tortured,
twanging air,
There spreads q shadow, like
q stilling hand
And in the hush the earth be-
gins to move,
Flex its great muscles, softly

The dust glows pink as newly
wakened flesh;
Like sap the color floods the
withered trees;
The grasses gild-and, from the
chapparal,
There comes a scent Of apples,
pitch and spice,
And tiny voices in q web Of
sound.
The sky, that was as white as
bleaching bone
Is quickened now with a warm,
flooding tide
OF pearl and coral, rose and
apricot
That spreads and spills until the

With pools of honey and the

With shadows, darky purple as

Sierra heaves
Its black-troughed ridges, bronze
against the gold.
And from the tumbled crests
there spurts a spray
OF fiery Spindrift over saffron

Fountains Of crimson squirting
scarlet spray.
Somewhere within this welter
whirls the sun
Half lost beneath the roaring
surf Of flame.
Molten, enormous drop ping

Until, with one last flare, its
blaze is gone;
And, in the east, between the

The AutogirO
By Archibald Henderson

We live today in an era Of
frantic mechanical experimen-
tation, and we have grown so
accustomed to miracles that
nothing seems to surprise us.
During the past half century
or less, hundreds of types Of
aircraft have been invented;
and many new types are in
course Of development and con-
struction at the present time.
Two types Of airplanes are
greatly needed at the present
time. One is the large multi
motored plane, Of the DO-X
model or type. designed to
carry a great amount of fuel
and scores Of passengers, for
transoceanic flight. The other
is a small, safe, inexpensive
single passenger plane for COM
mon use. It is claimed that:
the latter has been found at
last in the extraordinary air.
craft known as the autogiro,
the invention Of Juan de la
Cierva, inventor. sportsman,
and daring flier.
= This interesting Spaniard, q
friend Of the King of Spain,
has been interested in flying
ever since he was a lad. At
the age Of Is, he and his
brother made two gliders -
which went all right at first.
But finally his brother cracked
UP in one Of them-and after
that. gliders were "out." Fol
lowing this experience, Juan
made many planes, the most
notable being the first Spanish
plane, built in 1911. Eight
years later, Cierva had high
hopes Of o tri-motored ship o.
his own construction but it
smashed, much to his disgust
and disappointment.
The autogiro dates from 1920,
the year in which Cierva con-
ceived the giro principle. This

Editor, Times:
Your editorial, "Washington's
Open Forums Of Community
Life" is timely and helpful.
It is true, as you say, that
the spread of the open-forum
movement is a sign OF prog
ress and that organizations de-
voted to frank, fearless but
well-ordered discussion Of pub
lie questions are highly valu-
able from a civic standpoint.
Your Endorsement of the open
forum principle is especially ap-
preciated by me in my capacity
as president Of the Washington
Open Forum. I am sure that
others active, either in this or
ganization or in groups en-
gagged in similar work, will
agree with me in commencing
your stand.
The Washington Open Forum,
unlike local forums designed for
definite sections Of the city,
and unlike forums conducted
by societies committed to par
ticular policies or doctrines,
aims to be ciGy-wide and neu-
tral. It is not tied to any
creed or platform-not even my
own or that of any other Of
ficial or member. Radicals, lib
erals, conservatives, champions
of popular opinions and of un-
popular opinions, Spokesmen
for majority and for minority
elements, have their turn in it.

aircraft construction, and was
slow in reaching completion.
After three years Of experimen.
tation in making the machine,
which was Of simple but f1imsy
construction, Cierva finally
made a successful flight In
one. During the past seven
years, Cierva has been engaged
in perfecting this machine; and
it is expected that, in the near
future, the autogiro will be
manufactured in large quantities.
The autogiro is a queer ma
chine in appearance, but it pos
sesses several features of ex-
traordinary interest and value.
The present two-seater, built
at the A. v. Roe works, South
ampton, has a maximum speed
Of 95 miles an hour. It car
ries a GenetMajor 1O0-horse-
power engine.
When the engine is cut off,
the forward motion ceases, and

wards are ground, at the rate
Of 13 feet per second. OF all
airplanes, it is able to land
safest. It is possible to fly as
low as five feet above the level
Of the ground with entire
safety. In landing, the pilot
elevates the tail just before
reaching the earth. The nose
Of the autogiro tips up, the
tail skid touches ground, and
the wheels of the gear come
into action. The autogiro may
be landed almost anywhere;
and once landed, it stays put.
