Glider Records.

To the layman the records now being
established in all parts of the world
by motorless planes are nothing short
of remarkable. In the past few years
glider marks have steadily become
more astonishing as to duration, height
and distance flown and it is quite evi-
dent that the study of air currents nee
essary to perform these feats is of tre-
mendous aid in promoting mans knowl-
edge for the building of planes. In
Honolulu recently, at a glider meet
sponsored by the island chapter of the
National Aeronautic Association, Lieut..
William A. Cook, jr., of the United
States Air Corps landed his frail craft
on the windward side of Oahu Island
He had been aloft in his motorless
plane for twenty-one hours, thirty-f four
minutes and fifteen seconds, seven
hours and twenty minutes longer than
the existing record, which was held by
German. He had flown more than
four hundred miles and his Instruments
indicated that he had reached an alti-
tude of three thousand five hundred
feet. Such a feat deserves the highest
credit. 1t proves that man has made
great strides in his study of the upper
strata and in his development of ships
to navigate it. Better and safer air
planes will inevitably be the result of
this progress

Constitutional Committee of the Cortes,
proposed an amendment to the twenty
third article of the projected constitu-
ton which Professionally declares that
the rights of both sexes be recognized
as equal in principle"
Senorita Kent objected to the words
'in principle as being too indefinite and
likely to open up the way to all sorts
Of interpretations prejudicial to women.
Senorita Campoamon, the other woman
Deputy Immediately took up the argu-
ment, stating that equality in princi-
pie, or even in theory, is as near as
woman can approximate masculine
rights without detriment and humilia-
tion to herself; that insistence upon
masculine freedom and privilege but de-
grades her status and coarSens her ma
ture to degree which makes it i'm
possible for her to fulfill faithfully her
true and divine function as the mother
of the race; that history has shown
that when women of various eras have
sought to emulate men they have imi-
tated and cherished their vices rather
than their virtues
Senorita Campoamon's arguments pre-
vailed and the amendment to article %
was rejected, as was also another
amendment to article %, offered by an
other Deputy. Senor Barriobero of Cor

various religious orders should, by rea-
son of their primal interest in ecclesias-

posal was defeated by ll3 ballots to 80.
This was considered significant victory
by all the elements faithful to the

Opera by Radio.

An experiment tried yesterday after
noon in the broadcasting of opera from
New York City proved an unqualified
success. From the stage of the Metro
politan Opera House the entire per-
formance Of Humperdinck's "Hansel und
Gretel" was sent forth throughout the
country in full, from the overture
to the finale, with every bar Of the
music, every syllable Of the singing
voices, and with the action described
briefly but Wvidly by a competent in
terpreter, himself composer of opera.
This was Deems Taylor, whose Peter
Ibbetson" is ranked as one of the nota-
BILE successes Of modern times. He sat
in a glass -inclosed box in the golden
horseshoe" of the opera house and car
ried the unseen audience" through
every phase of the performance, with a
minimum of interruption to the music.
The voices of the singers were clear and
distinct and the orchestral effects were
smooth and complete. Mr.. Taylors
oha oSAAFtANS
observations made it possible for those
who have never been favored with op-
portunity to hear this post -Wagnerian
classic to visualize as well as to hear
the entire performance.
The broadcasting of opera has been
proposed heretofore, but with the ex-
ception of few small performances,
staged especially for the purpose, there
has been no previous attempt to send
an actual presentation over the air from
the very stage Of the production. Nu-
merous technical problems had to be
solved before this could be accomplished,
the proper placing of microphones for
the voices and particularly the develop
; ment of large instrument suspended
above the orchestra and the stage Of
a shape to include the vibrations Of all
the instruments. Engineering control

sages Of the orchestration. Yesterdays
achievement demonstrated that these
problems have been solved, and 1t is
now believed that opera can be satisfac-
torily broadcast in almost any condition
and with any program.
Hesitation on the part Of the opera
conductors and management on the
score of the competition, as it were, of
radio to lessen attendance at the opera
performances themselves appears to
have been overcome. and now it is re-
ported that they are enthusiastic in the
belief that through broadcasting opera
will be made popular with the multitude
and will tend to increase attendance
rather than diminish it. Whatever may
be the effect upon the box Office, it is
certain that the broadcasting of opera
will be Of high educational value, and
will serve to develop a larger body of
music appreciators in this country,
scoring another success for radio as an
educational influence.

France Feels the Pinch.

France is discovering that it is a long
lane which has now no turning, even
though 1t be the path along which pros
perity has been taking its course. The
Associated Press reports from Paris that,
last among the European nations to feel
the world depression, the French at the
dawn of 1892 foresee many economic
difficulties ahead of them.
High tariffs enacted by Great Britain
and prospective decrease in the tour
lSt industry are two immediate causes
of French gloom. The British are Or
dnarlly heavy consumers of certain
French foodstuffs and luxury articles.
John Bulls new emergency tariff will
hit these commodities directly. The
English wealthy classes for generations
have been the bulwark of the French
Winter resorts. With the slump in the
pound sterling, Albions leisured element
is not in mood this season to indulge
In the expensive gayeties of Biarritz,
where King Edward loved to frolic; of
the French Riviera, or of such festive
hooks as Chamonix, Pau and Angeles
and Paris itself.
Already France is paying the dole to
$4,000 unemployed. The country's Job
less population is estimated at $50, 900.
This is trifling total compared either
TO the French population or the num-
oers out of work in other European
countries and America But the fig
ures testify that the French are no
longer immune from the economic pes
thence which affiicts the world beyond
their shores. In addition to direct un-
employment relief, the government has
put forward the second slice of its
national equipment plan designed to
furnish work to some 100000 laborers.
The enterprise is to cost the national
treasury about sl20, 0,Ooo,O 900, with smaller
contributions from local communities.
The money was set aside for road i'm
provements, extended port facilities,
new school houses and Fairgrounds.
The pinch the French are now feel
ng-especially If it becomes aggravated
as Winter wears on-has an aspect
that may ramify into the international
political field, France holds the key
to the disarmament situation It is
automatic that unless and until she Is
ready to cut down her military estab-
lishment reduction of armies in Europe
will remain an idle dream. Hitherto
the French have stood adamant for the
principle that nothing but guaranteed
security will induce them to decrease
their land defensive establishment. 1t
is possible that the time may be coming
when adversely will persuade France to
consider proposals now termed by her
unbeatable. In 1930-31 she expended
S541 100000 on armaments-a per
capita outlay Of s1313, or roundly twice
the per capita sum spent by the United
States.
The creeping ravages of depression
are well designed to make the logical
and thrifty French people wonder
whether their armaments game is
worth the candle.
