CHIEF ADMITS
COMPLAINT ON CONDUCT Of COPS

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. Jan.
25.-W. S. Chesley, commissioner
of public welfare, todaNs indig-
nantly denied that any report
was filed" with him, charging
that Policemen j. P. Smith and
Arthur Kendall had aCCoSted two
Washington girls in the Rich
mond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac Railroad Station here.
After his denial Chesley admit
ted that the officers alleged mis-
conduct had been called to his
attention.
Waiting for Bus
The girls, whose names were
withheld, are reported to have
alighted from a train in Freder-
icksburg too late to catch the
regular bus to Colonial Beach.
Not having enough money to pay
a hotel bill, they were permitted
by the station agent to remain
in the union depot here.
1t was while waiting in the
depot that the two Fredericks-
burg policemen are alleged to
have approached them repeatedly
with invitations to go elsewhere
The girls plight attracted the
attention of the station agent, it
is alleged, and he notified the
policemen to leave the girls alone

charges had been made against
them, stated that no railroad

How TO FLY
LESSON NO. 20
Of The Washington Times Flying Club
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
AerOnduticaL Enqineer

The nomenclature given below'
is Of the greatest Importance. In
the operation and maneuVering
Of the airplane one must be
familiar with the terms used on
the field Of flight. Study very
closely the list given below:
Bank-To incline an airplane
laterally: /. e., to rotate it about
its longitudinal axis. Right-bank
means to incline the airplane
with the right wing down. "Ba1k"
IS also used as a noun to de-
scribe the position Of an airpIane
when its lateral axis is inclined
to the horizontal.
Dive-A steep descent, with or
without power, in which the air
speed is greater than the maxi
mum speed in horizontal flight.
Glide-A descent with reference
to the air at normal angle of
attack and without engine power
sufficient for level flight in still
air, the propeller thrust being re-
placed by a component of gravity
along the line of flight.
Roll-a maneuver in which
complete revolution about the
horizontal axis is made, the hori-
zontal direction Of flight being
maintained.
Sideslipping Defined.
Sideslipping-Flight In which
the lateral axis Is inclined and
the airplane has component OF
velocity in the direction of the
lower end of the lateral axis.
When it occurs in connection with
a turn it is the opposite of skid
ding.
Skidding-Sliding sidewise away
from the center of curvature
when turning. 1t is usually caused
by banking insufficiently, and is
The opposite of sideSlipping.
Spin-A maneuyer consisting Of
combination or rCI and yaw,
with the longitudinal axis of the
alrplane inclined Steeply down
ward. The airplane desCends in
helix Of large pitch and very
small radius, the upper side of
the airplane being on the inside
OF the helix, and the angle OF at
| tack on the inner wing being
maintained at an extremely 1arps
value.
Stall-The condition Of an air
plane when from any cause it
has lost the air speed necessary
for support or control.
TaXi-To run an airplane over
the ground or a Seaplane on the
surface Of the water under it's
own power.
zoom-To climb for a short
time at an angle greater than
that which can be maintained in
steady flight, the airplane being
carried upward at the expense of
its kinetic energy. This term.
too, is sometimes used as a noun
to denote any sudden increase
in the upward slope of the flight
path.
What "Pancaking" Means
To Pancake-To level off an
airplane at a greater altitude
than normal in landing, thus
causing it to stall and to descend
on a steeply inclined path with
the wings at a very large angle
of attack and without appreciable
bank.
Tail Heavy-In a heaWerthan.
air craft the condition in which
in normal flight the tail sinks
if the longitudinal control is re.
lNleSed, i. e., the condition, in
which the pilot has to exert a
push on the control stick to keen
a given altitude.
Tail Slide-The backward and
downward motion, tail first, which
certain airplanes may be made tc
take momentarily after having
been brought into a stalliug posi-
ton by steep climb.
Warp-To change the form oi
q wing by twisting It, WarpinG

'the lateral equilibrium Of an air,
plane.
Absolute Ceiling The maxi
mum height above sea level at
which a given airplane would be
able to maintain horizontal flight
assuming standard air conditions.
Service Ceiling Defined
Service Ceiling - The height
above sea level. assuming stand,
ard air conditions, at whicn a
given airplane ceases to be able
to rise at a rate higher than a
small specified one 100 feet per
minute in the United States and
EnglandD. This specified rato is
different in different foreign
countries.
Landing Speed,-The minimum
speed at which an airplane can
maintain itself in level flight and
still be under adequate control.
Critical Speed-The lowest speed
Of an aircraft at which control
can be maintained,
Economic Speed-The speed at
which the fuel consumption per
unit of distance covered in still
air IS a minimum.
Nose Heavy-The condition of
an airplane in normal flight
when the distribution Of forces is
such that. if the longitudinal
controls were released, the nose
would drop.

purposefully eastward. Then another
ana another flashed past with a sort
purring sound OF wings against air.
A black premonition caused her to
turn her head and follow heir fight
to its destination. She knew in that
moment that she had lost. To the
eastward, over the spot where the
island lay among the trees, the air
was black with nying shapes. They
sailed in the formation OF a water
spout, wide and slow moving at the
top but narrowing and whirhng fast
er and raster as it descended until
the base disappeared among the tree
tops like a pointing finger. She looked
westward again and saw the air
lanes dotted with still other shapes
Ninging steadily down from the rock
ery at the western extremity of the
swamp.
So Gilly had won. He hadn't been
afraid Of the dark, after all. What he
had in his mind was that she must
bring him out into the open where
the buzzards could find him and tell
Proc Baggart. -
Now she knew that it was useless
10 proceed. The strength of her
muscles that could carry her through
a race with the living would be I'M
availing against the cunning of the
dead, Gilly had proved that Gray
son was wrong.
Her gaze was drawn back to the
eastern skyline and the whirling col
unn Of wings. In the great empti-
ness OF sky it would be visible =. for
miles. Perhaps already Gilly had been
missed and searching parties were
hurrying along the trail that she
had broken that morning.
Suddenly, there, in the moment of
acceptance of the inevitable, mira
Gle occurred. Somewhere in the inner
depths of the womans soul, in some
remote and secret abiding place, a
bolt snapped back, a door opened,
and a new courage flooded ner being.
This was. not merely the old force
that had always fortified her. against
physical suffering. 1t was something
radiant that shook through her body
in swift, clean ecstasy. 1t made
her suddenly and astonishingly glad

to be there; to wait eXpectant for a
supreme moment of revelation that
she knew was coming. All feeling of
urgency left her. No need for speed
now. No need even for Manila. She
herself would be sufficient for the
event. A strange and beautiful SAN
lily lay across her mind like a shaft
of light. She turned it this way and
that, and many dark and obscure
things were made plain to her. She
knew that Manila had been right
about LISA all the tine, that she did
not matter of herself, except that
now, at last, she was going to give
her child something of value; some
thing that she could always re-
member.
Squatting on her limb, with only
sky above her and treetops below, her
mind turned on Mambas plan for
her, and she saw its great flaw. The
white men would take her, and they
would want to know everything in
her mind. She might try to hide
LISA away in some dark corner
where they could not find her, but
she knew that would not avail. She
had seen other Negroes try conceal
ment, but Baggart and the others
had so many ways. Their minds
could dig and dance and circle un-
til, at last. cut it came. Then, sud-
denly, she was upon the answer. Her
mind seized upon the idea, turned
it over, discarded nonessentials. built

The moment had come. She was
ready.
1t was past ten o'clock, and Davy

He waS(the commiSSary manager
now and he frequently kept open
until late hours, especially in fever

folks around and the Negroes would

agreed to the plan, and Davy had
showed with pride that, like most OF
his ideas, it had a sound commercial
value, the sales on bounce" and

She made surprisingly good time,
and it was still afternoon when she
noticed that the trees before her were
no longer a solid wall but showed
thin places where the light filtered
through from the open fields beyond.
She was In splendid trim Tor the
Journey, her senses keen, her mus

preston Of the morning she waited
in excited anticipation for the COM
ing of night.
ont beyond the trees, where the
sun still lay heavy and warm, an
abominable mongrel hound rolled
over in a broom-straw field, yawned,
lifted a fretful hind leg and scratch
ed his NANCY ribs. Twenty feet away
a cottontail took alarm, hoisted its
white ensign aStern, and sailed 81
lently away toward the cover OF the
swamp. A vagrant air caught the
scent of the rabbit and trliled it past
the nostrils of the Somno1ent cur.
The animal raised its mG.5zie and
tcngued, long and quayering,y. From
a neighboring hamlet half a dozen
answers sounded, bell-like i'll the
! heavy silence, and the broom straw
commenced to sway to the threshng
OF excited tails.
With her confidence at it's height,
Hagar heard them coming. An icy
hand seized her heart, contracted
about it, and her blood crawled
! frozen through her veins. Dogs! A
primal terror that was proof against
argument and reason silenced both
and paralysed her brain. The clear,
high. unceasing rhythm of the ton

waves of exquisite terror. A strange
guiding force broke the inertia of her
body and worked subtle change IN

acute. She faced the sound and
commenced to retreat silently, warily.
Her back touched the trunk OF a
great live oak. She spun around. Ihen
She found herself climbing, reaching
always for higher limbs, swinging

she reached the top branches she
crouched in the heavy foliage and
peered down through the leaves and
moss.
They were nearer now, and the cry
had accelerated until it was taut
rope of sound that had one end in
her body and that shortened with
every second.
The dogs had gotten Ned. He had
been loose for two weeks after ne
had cut Button. He would have got
clean away but for the dogs.
The pack passed almost directly
beneath her perch. She could scarce
retain her hold upon the branches
as she peered down. Then she saw
it for what it was: the flash OF a
small tawny body with a bobbing
white spot, and the parcel of yelping
mongrelS.
Slowly reason returned. They could
not have found Gilly yet. Nobody
knew he had been killed. She took
herself in hand and fought the
weakness of fear. She became con-
Scious of sunlight about her, sky
above, and, just below, the plateau
of treetops.
A shadow swept over her, and she
raised her eyes. Scarcely twenty
feet away she saw buzzard, the
rondure of his belly-the blue-black
wings-the baleful, questing eyes.
