80 YEARS OF FLYING

December II marks the 3Oth anniversary of the
first airplane fight by the Wright brothers at Kitty
Hawk NJ c., in 1903. After long experimenting these
aviation pioneers succeeded in getting their plane off
the ground by its power but the first fight lasted
only IL seconds, during which time it flew 12O feet
Later in the same day second flight of SO
seconds was made. These epoch-makng flights
marked the beginning of age-od ambition which
most persons declared could never be realized. In
fact, it only few days before the Wrights ac-
tually accomplished it that certain Congressman
the floor of the House in opposing an appropria-
ton for experimenting with flying machines assert
ed that anyone who thought human fight would ever
be possible fool
At first progress rather slow, and for several
months only straight flights made, but on
September Is, 1904, Orville Wright made the first
turn in the air. and five days later succeeded in fly
ing in circle. The first time plane remained in
the air long half hour on October A.
1905 with flight lasting 33 minutes. From that time
developments by the Wrights and others were
rapid.
among the other early airplane builders and
flyers who became famous may be mentioned Curtis
Bleriot Santos-Dumont Farman, the Voisin brothers
and their associates Many daring aviators lost their
lives through attempting stunts in exhibition flying
which too difficult for the primitive machines
employed. -
Contemplating the amazing feats of presentday
aviators it is difficult to realize that the flying art is
only 80 years old.

THE USEFUL HAIRPIN

An observant man is Chris Billopp of the Balti-
more Sun, who writes informing essay on the
of the hairpin in which he describes that implement
a small wire bent double in the middle, and con-
venient for:
Getting the meat out of walnuts, pecans, and so
forth
Twisting around the hub of toy automobile to
keep the wheel from coming off.
Picking the teeth if done in the privacy of ones
bedroom.
Making emergency repairs in the electrical
lighting system, though you had better be pretty
careful if you don't want to be electrocuted
For cleaning tobacco pipes and making holes in
cigars that won't draw; for fishing for coins that
have fallen into cracks; for pnning curtains to
tain rods; for improvsing link for broken chain;
for holding an undershirt together when vital but
ton has come off in the wash.
For perforating the cap of salt shaker in damp
weather; for picking stubborn cork out of the
mouth of bottle for book mark; for buttoning
Gloves for picking locks for running strings through
brassieres; for tools for delicate clay modelling;
hook to keep the door of the medicine cabinet shut
and for other domestic projects too numerous to
mention. Then Br. Billopp adds:
rs it any wonder, then, that when a hairpin is
needed to pin in the hair, be found"

Not a Strong Case

Proof that Hitlerist Germany has
launched a propaganda campaign IN
this country is contained in envelopes
delivered this week to many North
Dakota newspapers.
Under the heading Speaking OF
Hitler it gives excerpts from the
American press which may be inter-
preted as favorable to Naziism in the
Reich. Most prominent among these
are comments on the effect Of the
Versailles treaty on the subsequent
course Of world events and the de-
fenselessness Of Germany from the
standpoint Of ornaments. Conversely,
attention Is directed toward the posi-
ton Of France, most heavily armed OF
all the nations.
These things. Of course, have long
been subjects for comment by the
American Press. Editors everywhere
have recognized the handicaps to sane
world adjustment imposed by the
peace treaty. That France has i'm
peded rather than helped the cause
OF disarmament IS no secret. That
Germany has been buffeted and i'm
posed upon is pretty well agreed.
But this has little. If anything, to
do with the situation created by the
rise Of Hitler. It does not excuse him
for rafting the sword anew in Europe,
even though his weapon still IS a
frail one. It does not justify the at
tempt to invoke in the German people
new will to war or the development
OF a new Deutschland Uber Allies"
complex for use II and when she
again is In position to fight. Neither
does it make any more laudable Hit
ler's actions in raising the flag Of
racial intolerance or his thrust at the
heart Of Democracy in Europe.
Nevertheless, 1t is perfectly proper
for Hitler's friends In this country to
present his side Of the case. Any
tolerance worthy Of the name grants
him the right to be heard. No one
viii resent receiving literature design
ed to improve the Nazi status in this
country.
There are some conditions, however
which should be met. It should be
made perfectly plain who Is circulat-
ing this propaganda. who is paying
for 1t, and what the object is.
Unfortunately for its effectiveness
these things were ignored In the ini-
tial burst Of Nazi effort. If they want
to get q fair hearing, Hitler's friends
out why cops do not always cooperate
to make this mistake. It weakens
their case, which is poor one at best
