OF 18 miles an hour were almost constantly
present.
Accordingly, in 1900. three years before sue
cess@waS to crown their efforts, Wilbur and
Orville Wright selected a camp near Kitty
Hawk N. c., between the Atlantic Ocean and
Albemarle Sound, for conducting their expert
ments, which were confined almost entirely to
glider flights. Near Kill Devil HILL nearby
they anchored glider, where they spent hours
In the air studying wind resistance balancing
and many other things in relation to fight
While studying these glider flights, the wrights
discovered that it was not necessary for man
to balance plane lateraIly by shifting his
weight, but instead, could do better by twisting
the surfaces OF the wings. As result they
were the first to invent the warping wing fore

the closing days Of September, 1908, three
months before achievement and glory were
destined to be within their grasp, Wilbur and
Orville Wright came back to their camp on
the sands near Kitty Hawk, in the shadow of
Kill Devil Hill
They found the great, barnlike structure
which served them as both hangar and work
shop almost completely blown away by the
northeast winds which had lately been sweep
ing the lonesome Carolina coast country and.
In fact, found it necessary to anchor its roof
before finishing touches could be put upon the
great, clumsy. boxlike machine of wood and
make their great attempt-the attempt for
which they had been carefully preparing for
many long years.
Dawn that day broke on gray stormy ex-
panse Of ocean and deserted beach and lower
ing clouds raced overhead, whirled along by a
27-mile per hour wind. The somber sullen
boom OF the surf mingled with the shriIler
singing cry of the wind as it whipped around
the weather beaten structure which housed the
frail machine destined TO conquer and explore
the heavens The brothers looked with misgiv-
ing upon the weather outside upon arising but

that despite it's disagreeableness they would
make the attempt
But preparations for the flight, methodical
and unhurried, were carried forward in the face
Of the disagreeable and unfavorable weather
and soon the little 40-foot track Of rails that
was to serve for the airplanes runway was laid
out along level stretch of sandy shore. Will
ing hands soon lifted the fragile, boxlike ma
chine from its weather beaten hangar and as
it stood at the upper end of the runway, sway
ing and trembling in the near-gale, held only
by the slender wire attaching it to the launch
ing weights. its seeming inability successfully to
combat the elements was strikingly apparent
to the little knot of spectators.

. ECAUSE of the isolated section OF the coast
- at the time construction of the memorial
was undertaken and because of the vast weight
Of the material to be used, the granite from the
quarries in Western North Carolina was carried
by rail to Norfolk, Va, loaded upon barges and
towed by tugs down the desolate coast to the
strip OF beach on which it is located. From
that point, narrow gauge railroad was con-
structed to transport the huge blocks weighing
from six to nine tons each to the actual site
on the summit of Kill Devil Hill. The difficult
project is now, however, well on its way to
completion, where IL will mark for posterity the
spot on which transpired one of the most sig
nificant events in the history of mankind.
Many reasons have been advanced as to why
the Wright brothers, poor young mechanics of
Dayton, Ohio in the face Of much adverse criti
ctsrn, chose the desolate sandy coastline on the
extreme eastern edge Of North Carolina for
their momentous experiments, but the fact that
steady winds Of varying velocity were to be en-
countered constantly along the unobstructed
beaches and plains near the ocean in the vi
cinity OF their base influenced them greatly
Freedom from the interference of too inquisi-
tive individuals probably also had bearing on
their choice Of location. But the fact that
wind resistance, a branch of aerodynamics
carefully studied by the wrights in their theory
OF night. was believed by them to be the margin
between success and failure In sustaining an
object IN the air, decided the brothers. Winds

Since 1923 this great granite shaft which

ENEMY CAPTURES
HAWAIIAN FOOTING
War Games End in Valuable
Lesson on Need Of Ameri-
can Defense.
BY CAPT. CHARLES M. AUSTIN.
Chief Of Stan, Blue Fleet.

ABOARD u. S. S. CALIFORNIA OFF
OAHU. February 13 tR.-The Hawaiian
war games ended today with the blue"
attacking forcee in a secure position
ashore on the west coast Of Oahu, in
undisputed control of the sea, and with
the ultimate capture of Honolulu from
the black" force certain.
The maneuvers, in which capture of
the Hawaiian Islands from the theo-
-etical enemy in possession of them was
the problem, provided valuable expert
ence for the Army and Navy.
COOPERATIVE Study Need.
The first thing learned was the CO.
operative study necessary for execution
Of the many intricate details involved
second most valuable experience was
the landing Of fully equipped troops on
exposed beaches of hostile island de-
spite severe natural obstacles. The
third was the problem Of supplying
naval gunfire to protect the binding
troops IN lieu Of the artllley fire gen.
orally used for troops advancing against
a strongly defended position.
The results confined previous esti-
mates that this type OF operstion would
be most costly in lives and material,
Particularly aeronautics. One hundred
eighty -one blue" and black" pleneS
were adjudged lost by the war game
umpires prior to the final assault. Few
can survive to the end.
Ounce Of Prevention.
This war gsme should serve to remind
Americans it is easier TO MAKE the
Hawaiian key to TIE Pacific secure
against attack than to recspturc it iri
case It is lost Also 1t obviously cannot
he regarded as secure in war unless an
edequate navy is available to restrict
the enemy action to raids. and the
Honolulu air force is sufficient to per-
form its functions fully in support of
gun, mine and submarine defense. The
valleys may be filled TO the level OF the
mountain tops with sirplanes and there
still may not be enough to give ultimate
security If the Navy is unable to drive
of and defeat the participating and
supporting enemy ships.
This blue" feet brought to this good
attack an air force superior to the Local
force-but so could the enemy, If il
could obtain clear sea.

BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press Stah Correspondent

CHICAGO. oct. 10. - Wheat
opened unevenly steady on the
Board of Trade today in a light
trade, there was scattered buying on
the firmness in stocks and only
slight selling. Liverpool was easy,
but steady at fractional decline on
scattered selling. Corn was rather
steady with oats and rye also steady
but very dull.
At the opening wheat was Il cent
lower to Is cent higher, corn was
unchanged to Is cent higher, oats
u cent higher and rye unchanged
Provisions we're weak.
Liverpool was off = to p cent at
mid-afternoon. Although Chicago
prices are several cents above a
world parity, the levels are so low as
to be attracting attention from
abroad. An advance of few cents in
the exchange rate and a drop in
freight charges might bring some
export business to this country
Canada controls the world markets
at present.
Stocks of corn in Chicago are
the largest for October in thirty
five years, with the exception OF
1927. The quality is unusually good
but new arrivals are grading just
as high.
Oats still is holding the seasons
low levels. Cash sales are enlarging
sEith tendency to improve future
prices at times.
