TAXABLE?

TAXABLE?
If Uncle Sam ever finds out
what a thrill the children of
mentioning families get out of
the blimps gliding over the roof
tops, he'd find a way to tax us
for letting the navy use the air
over our heads. Let's hope none
of the Washington people who
vacation here talk out of turn
OF the free show the blimps pro-
vide for children who seldom or
never saw one before they came
to the beach.

FAST WORK

Those Kitty Hawk Methodist
women mean what they say and
no funny business about it. For
instance, one Tuesday night they
decided the parsonage needed a
new refrigerator By Thursday
afternoon the appliance, the last
thing in electric refrigeration,
was installed and the minister's
wife was trying hard to resist
the temptation to open it just to
admire its cleaning interior. She
wouldn't however, admit to be-
ing surprised, because, she said,
"these Kitty Hawk people are
the salt of the earth"

AN AERIAL WONDER
How the Flyer" Breasted the
Gales at Kitty Hawk

Dayton, Ohio, Jan. 6 = The
Wright Brothers, inventors of
the flying machine which has
attracted such widespread at
tention, have prepared the fol-
lowing which they say is the
first correct statement of the
two successful trials made by
them:
"On the morning of Deem
Der IL, between 1890 and
noon, four flights were made,
two by Orville Wright and two
by Wilbur Wright. The starts
were all made from a point on
the level and about 200 feet
west of our camp, which is
situated a quarter of a mile
north of Killdevil sand hill, in
Dare County, North Carolina.
The wind at the time of the
flights had a velocity of q
miles an hour at 10 o'clock
and "a miles an hour at noon
as recorded by the anemome-
ter of the Kitty Hawk weather
bueau station. This anemome-
ter is 80 feet from the ground.
Our own measurements made
with a hand thermometer at a
height of four feet from the
ground showed a velocity of
about % miles when the first
flight was made and % 1/2
when the last flight was made.
The flight was made directly
against the wind. Each time
the machine started from the
level ground by its own power
with no assistance from grav-

WHAT A DAY!

Somewhat in line with that,
your scribe makes a practice of
celebrating her birthday by do
ing something unusual, prefer
ably something never tackled be-
fore. This year, though, company
was coming and she spent the
entire day putting her house in
apple pie order. Some folks
familiar with this reporters
brand of housekeeping will say,
of course, that housekeeping
really was something out of the
ordinary. They could be right,
too, but it's a tedious brand of
adventure. Your reporter took
her first airplane ride, a good
many years ago, on her birthday.
Now that was an experience to
remember! But housecleaning,-
bah!

people had assembled to watch
the trial, and lend a hand if
needed. They were ]. T. Daniels,
w. S. Dough, and A. D. Ethe-
ridge, from the Kill Devil Hill
Life Saving Station; w. C..
Brinckley of Manteo, and Johnny
Moore, a boy from Mays Head.
The last survivor of this group Of
witnesses to the first flight was
Johnny Moore, who died in 1851.
Four flights were completed on
December II, and on the fourth
and last Wilbur remained aloft
SO seconds and covered a dis
lance of 852 feet.
There were no reporters pre-
sent to cover the event, and
when news of the flight reached
the press, most newspapers re-
fused to print it. Harry P. Moore
of Norfolk, Va, is known as the
reporter who scooped the
world with the story of the first
flight. AS a cub reporter on the
Norfolk Virginian Pilot he learn
ed of the flight from a source he
has never revealed, and wrote
the story. His own paper carried
it as a front page article under
the headline Flying Machine
Scars Three Miles in Teeth of
High Wind Over Sandhills and
Waves at Kitty Hawk on Caro-
lima Coast" At the top of the
newspapers front page was the
line "The Flight That Couldn't
Be Made +. But Was!" Moore
was an honored guest at the
Wright Memorial celebration on
December IL, 1852, opening
Aviation's Golden Anniversary
Year He still writes column of
waterfront incidents for the Vir-
ginian-Pilot.
The Wright Brothers own YER
sion of the famous event was
later published in a dispatch
from Dayton, Ohio, dated Jan
uary 6, 1904. 1t follows:

A few days after your scribe

walking into the Shannon&

spied her and one of them piped

Her utter candor tickled your

much that she was chortling out
loud as she entered the store,
which probably made the Gus
