The art of gliding needed to be
learned before true success could
be won in building airplanes.
Pioneers in this field were Otto
and Gustave Lilienthal Of Ger
many.
The Lilienthal brothers were in
their early teens when they start
ed to make efforts to fly. Some
times one of them would fit
wings to his arms and would run
down a hill Tapping the wings.
Never did the boys succeed in ris-
ing high in the air by that
method.
In later life Otto Lilienthal
spent more time than his brother
in working with the problems of
aviation. He earned his living as
an engineer. but gave his free
hours to the study of the flight
Of birds. At length he conclud-

Why did he not hold up in
an effort to get Mrs. Keen out
of spades? He had two reasons.
both good. First. the key suit
was diamonds. He had to bring
in the entire suit to make his
contract. And the diamond
finesse had to be taken toward
Mr.. Abel.
Second. there was an impor-
tant tactical advantage in win
ming the first trick. Assuming
the worst, that Mr.. Abel would
win trick two with the king of
diamonds. it was by no means
certain that he would then cash
his spades. That is. he would
not know for sure that the
spades would run.
What if Mrs. Keen had
started with the lone king and
Mr.. Masters now had the jack
and nine left? In that case it
might ruin the chances of the
defense to cash the queen of
spades.
Of course, in this particular
hand Mr.. Masters wouldn't have
too good a chance even if the
spades weren't cashed. But
something might have hap
pened. For example. after WIN
ming with the theoretical king
of diamonds. and deciding that
a spade return was dangerous,
Mr.. Abel might have led club.
Worse decisions have been made.
And a club lead would have
given Mr.. Masters almost a GER
tain nine tricks.
To look at it the other way,
suppose Mr.. Masters had elected
to hold up at trick one. Then
he would have had to play his
Jack of spades. Mrs. Keen
would return the nine at trick
two and now the spade situa-
ton would be crystal clear to
Mr.. Abel. If he had the king
OF diamonds he would win with
that card and then there would
be no question about cashing the
rest of his spades.

At last. came tragedy. While
gliding high in the air, Lilienthal
met with gust Of wind which
cast him down. This brought
about his death, but he had
proved many facts about flight.
Other men in several countries
took up the idea of gliding.
Among them was Octave Cha
mute, an American. At the age
Of "a, Chanute designed and
tested gliders of several kinds,
including one with five pairs Of
wings.
One of Chanute's gliders was
of the biplane type; it weighed

This glider was used 700 times

Teacher Pay Problem
Crops Up Again in
Mild Virginia Session
ey the kssoc,ofeu Press

: RICHMOND. Va, Feb. OF
The thorny problem of a school,
fund distribution plan to meet
Gov. Stanley's minimum teacher
pay program cropped up again
today as the House of Delegates
agreed to take up the general
appropriation bill for debate
Wednesday.
| This decision by the House and
the unwilling of a third ap-
proach to the sensitive teacher
pay formula were the highlights
of a rather unspectacular Sat-
urday session of both the House
and Senate.
Governor Allays Rumors.
In a side development. how
ever. Gov. Stanley put down
rumors the administration might
disclaim parenthood of a bill
aimed at tightening up the
States so-called rieht-to-work
law. Speaking of the amend
ments proposed to the Tuck
Labor Act of 'l947. he said in a
statement:
Il requested their introduction
and consideration by the Cen
eral Assembly and I hope they
will meet with its approval"
The House voted to set debate
on the $3.50 million appropria-
tions bill and some 100 commit
! tee amendments as continuing
and special order of business for
noon Wednesday.
/ Chairman Howard H. Adams
of the Appropriations Committee
at first suggested the bill be
taken up Tuesday. But Delegate
Robert Whitehead requested the
switch to Wednesday to give
members time to look into the
new school formula which he
understood was in the works MI
Adams agreed but advised the
House he wasn't prepared to say
whether the Appropriations Com
mittee was going to recommend
a change in the formula it al
ready has written into the bill.
No Guarantee on Stanley Plan.
AS the budget bill came out
of Mr.. Adams committee Mon
day, it contained provisions for
distributing the school funds to
meet the Stanley increase. But
the distribution formula used APP
parently does not guarantee that
the Stanley pay plan will be met
unless there is greater local eff
fort on a voluntary basis by some
of the localities.
