WashingtOn'S 5 Open Forums
Of Community Life

An interesting article in the magazine American City tells
Of the spread Of the open forum community movement In
Oregon the organization Of the Linn County Open Forum
eight years ago.
Objects the promotion Of all worthy community in
ees the encouraging Of nterccmmunity intercourse and
operation and the development of intelligent czen The
organization commits itself to the aid of communities seeking
TO develop and uphold worthwhile undertakings
Crossroads merchandise stores and village blacksmith shops
were the original open Of this country The stores still
contribute their desutoy discussions to local and national
subjects.
The District Of Columbia undoubtedly holds the record In
the number Of community organizations that deal with COM
uny problems In civic trade and other bodies devoted to
the initiation promotion Of worthy projects this city leads
all other sections Of the country.
necessary because of the lack of suffrage and
the desire citizens to find organized ways of expressing
themselves important community matters In other parts Of
the country voters look the polls the places to make
their views known
The spread of the open forum movement however is in
dcave Of the fact that much valuable work in community
and human relationships be done by organizations be-
tween election dates and that the people expressing them
selves in these organizations lead politicians instead Of
being led by politicians.

Jules Verne
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D. DEL, LID
Famous Scientific Authority

advocates Of two types Of air
craft-heavier than air and
and lighter than air. This is
a contest which is going on,
with many thrilling incidents,
all around us today. Verne
stages a contest between the
Albatross and a dirigible called
the Go-Ahead. Verne concluded,
as CoSte concludes, that "as to
the future of aerial locomotion,
it belongs to the airShip (air-.
plane), not to the aerostat
(dirigible)."
Verne filled his books with
ingenious scientific explana-
tionS and mathematical calcu-
lations, and glibly CLOSES over
the difficulties which have not
yet been surmounted. The au-
thorities which he cites show
his extensive reading regarding
the problem Of flight. He
ranges from the classic Archy-
tas, inventor Of the kite, to
Leonardo da Vinci, rom Cayley
and Stringfellow to Henson and
Edison.
The Albatross was an ingen-
ious aircraft, containing basic
features of the modern multi
motored airplane. The motive
power was not gasoline, but
electricity. Fascinated by the
achievements Of Edison, Verne
went SO far as to say: "Elec-
tricity will one day be the soul
Of the industrial world"-an as
toundingly accurate prophecy.
The mechanism employed on
the Albatross is in well-estab-
lished use today, or in process
of adoption and perfection for
general air travel. There was
the propeller in the rear which
pushed the plane, and in front
the tractor airScrew. These
mechanical devices gave the
Albatross motion In a horizon
tai direction. For movement in
a vertical direction the Albat-
ross employed the helicopter
principle. Verne defined the
helicopter as "propellers on
vertical axes" Thus the Al
batress, with this deyice, antici-
pated the. autogiro of today.
Although Verne cannot be said
to have contributed specifically
by inventions to aeronautics,
he opened the eyes and dilated
the minds of men with vast
possibilities for the future. AS
T. j. c. Martyr says, he sowed
the seeds of airmindedness.

So many, many people fear

If you are troubled with bug

In all ages, we have had
prophets Of science, forermners
who In imagination foretell the
future. Edward Bellamy as
founded the last generation with
Looking Backward" Wells has
astounded ours with his visions
of the coming age. Today
Haldane and his copyist, the
late Lord Birkenhead, foretell
the scientific marvels OF the
twenty-first century. Gussses
are free; and II the gueSses
never come true, at least the
guesser will not be alive to
know it.
The most fascinating and in
genious Of all these foretellerS
Of future scientific wonders was
the late Jules Verne. Like
Haldane, he was scientifically
trained: although not a scientist
by profession, as is Haldane,
Verne made a far-ranging study
Of scientific principles and dis
coveries; and his magnificent
lunches were soundly based, for
the most part, on established
scientific data. He was a novel
list by profession; but today ne
Is honored as a prophet Of
undersea navigation, Of avia-
ton and of ballistics. Only the
other day, Prof. Richet, Of the
Institut de France, paid high
tribute to Jules Verne before the
French Geographical Society.
It was not the imaginative artist
he took occasion to praise, but
the prophet Of aeronautical
science. Verne not only foresaw
the airplane and the dirigible,
but also the helicopter. Fifty
years ago, aeronautical science
received q great impetus from
the imaginative novels of Verne,
especially from his imaginative
creation, the flying machine to
which he gave the name Of
AlbatrosS.
These were by no means the
dark ages in aeronautical his
tory when Verne began to write
Of future scientific marveis.
Lilienthal, a famous name; in
the history of aviation, and
others were making hair-raising
experiments with gliders. It
was an era of enthusiastic ex-

book, "Robur lie Conquerant."

wonder if some real harm is not

First remember there is q
large class Of mere boys, now in

good salary while learning q
good trade, and if they have not
had the advantages of q high
school education, think it is
commendable on the part Of the
public printer that he does all
he can to the end that these
boys be given an opportunity to
go to night school. Why should
the Government give the boys a
good opportunity to learn a
trade, with pay while learning
equal to what many men are
earning In regular work today,
and not have certain restrictions
placed on these same boys? AS

Want Stop Sign on
7th and Quincy Streets

Editor, Times:
The residents in the 900 block
Of Quincy st. N. w., think that
a stop sign should be placed at
the intersection of Seventh and
Quincy Streets. We wish your
newspaper to call this matter to
the attention Of the Traffic Bu-
reau.
The intersection is very dan
gerouS. Not more than a week
ago q truck and q passenger
automobile crashed at this in
tersection and both machines
were damaged. Luckily no one
was injured.
The thing that makes this in
tersection so dangerous is the
fact that Seventh Street has q
very sharp grade from Randolph
Street to Quincy. and cars nat
urally slide a little faster down
here than they would on a level
street. The houses are so built
on the four, corners that 1t
makes it almost a blind ap-
proach from either direction.
Children in the nefghborhood
are skating and riding their toy
vehicles around there almost the
entire day and although none Of
them have been seriously injured
for some time past they are in
constant danger.
Accidents such as reported
above occur quite frequently.
The sound of Screeching bu kes
and shattered glass as two We
hicles come together is getting
to be q matter Of routine and
it is up to the city to do some
thing about 1t.
