I'tunerr of flight.
I flew first in 1907 not very far
?.p, it is true, nor for a very long
p
period of time, but I flew. It was re
carded than as a marvel. We were
the current jokes of the press. No
bedv believed in the future of the
airplane then. Even we never dream
ed that in a few short years avia
tion would have progressed to the ex
tent it has today.
But when you ask me what was
the most remarkable event in the
'history of aviation I am embarrassed
to reply. How establish a com
parison between the deed of Bleriot,
who flew the English channel in
1909, and that of Alcock. who cross
ed the Atlantic 10 years after?
Need Perfect Motor.
The greatest problem to solve?
Not the helicopter though that
may one day take its place in air
locomotion nor yet the problem of
stability, for that is almost solved
The great problem is to find the
perfect motor the motor which will
be powerful, economical, and abso
lutely reliable. As far as the ere
ation of such a motor goes we are
yet in the era of experimentation.
Perhaps the million-franc prize of
fered by the Aero club will hasten
the solution, but I do not think that
even then it will have been com
a jlctely solved.
y Whatever happens, it is my opin
ion that the airplane motor of the
future, which will combine great
power and regularity with economy
of gasoline, will be of a type totally
different from those in use today.
Ou

Our engineers must strike out into
new oaths, disregard the past and
the present and think only of the
future.
Expect Invention Soon.
Only then it will be possible to
practicably realize the dream of reg
nlar airways between Europe and
America, for no motor exists to
day which could be depended upon
to make the voyage in perfect safe
ty and regularity.
' It is my conviction, however, that
the invention of the perfect motor
' will be realized much sooner than
is believed, and that from then on
the progress of aviation will be so
fast that its progress since 1906
tip to today will be nothing in com
farison. It is droll to think that a future
feneration will find it quite natural
to fly over night from Paris to New
York whereas we in our generation
still think it a marvel that one can
breakfast in Paris and lunch in the
i cap'tal of Great Britain.

What's in
Onomatologist, Out of a
Directory in Senate
Amusement.
By WINDER HARRIS.
Washington, July 15. An onomatol
ogist out of a job drifted into the
senate press gallery the other day.
As none of the irreconcilables nor
Senator Pat Harrison was on the
floor, he saw it was going to be a

sional directory for amusement, here
s what he found under the heading,

In the field of sports there was a
Colt (Rhode Island) for racing, and

There were Keyes (New Hamp-

speaking, a Newberry (Michigan).
Not all the senators are just plain
men, either, the onomatological gen
tleman discovered. North Carolina
has an Overman and there is an Oddie
(Tasker) from Nevada.
To keep the statesmen on Edge

Looking back over the Pennsyl
vania solons, he who was versed in
onomatology mused to himself:
There s something mighty pleasant
in that combination of old Crow and
Pepper."
so pleased was our onomatological
friend with his discoveries in the
upper chamber that he ambled over
to the house side to pursue his re
search among the list of representa
tives. Under the heading of sports, Bowl
ing (Alabama) came first. Dempsey
(New York) was there to iiox
( Texas), and he had his old Swing

Anthropologists Probing
Theory of Man's Evolution
London, July 15. This should in
terest William Jennings Bryan.
British anthropologists are investi
gating the theory that modern men
are not men descended from apes,
but have walked this old mundane
sphere in their present physical form
for some 100,000 years.
The anthropoligists are of the
opinion that this research will lead
to the conclusion that if a neolithic
man were to don the "topper,"
"spats" and other garments of the
present-day Piccadilly "swanker"
that he would cause no sensation be
cause those two men are physically
the same.
H. J. Fleure and T. C. James of
the University College of Wales and
the British scientists are
working on the theories expounded
by Mr. Bryan in contravention to
Mr. Darwin, that after all modern
man is only the neolithic man grown
old.

Destiny of Once
Rich Shantung
Is Left to Fate
Province Million in Debt
Overrun by Banditi and
Thrtattntd With
Rivf r Flood.
By CHARLES DAILEY.
Tina;iin, Shantung, June 15 One
who hat spent two yean amid fam
iue tnd flood conditions in China
knows what is in store for Shantung
this year. The normally rich prov
ince it million in debt, it overrun
with bandit, it struggling to get the
Shantung railway back into it con
trol and on top of it all iW.WO souls
with all they possess, which is next
to nothing, are doomed to destitu
tion and many of them to death
when the floods come down the lei
low river in July, as they always do,
In addition, ai economic lot oi $10,-
000.000 will result in the destruction
of crops, of buildings and in sustain
ing for a year the thousands that
will be homeless. Two month from
now and America will hear again
the cry for aid for the starving in
China, but will respond less eagerly
for China was warned in time and
turned a deaf ear.
It it characteristic of the Chinese
that they are indifferent to fate. The
Tribune correspondent has seen a
man fall from a boat in the Yangtze
with not one to turn a hand to rescue
him. Far up the Pei-ta-ho, in the
famine region of Chihli. he saw an
epileptic boy topple from the skiff
his father was about to shove off
from the bank. The parent merely
stared at the boy while two Amen
cans, one an army officer, waded
waist deep into the water in mid-
.November and got him out before he
drowned. Never is a hand raised in
a preventive or protective way for a
fellow being. It is fate. It is as the
gods have willed. Such is China.
Destiny Left to Fate.
So the destiny of 300.000 persons
in Shantung province, only 120 miles
northeast of Tsinanfu, the capital.
and 60 miles from the railway, is left
to fate. It could have been averted,
but it is too late now. Oliver J.
Todd, a civil engineer from San
trancisco, now building with Red
Cross funds and famine labor
roadway jn the district stricken last
year, reluctantly has abandoned hope
for these people and now is striving
to get Red Cross aid for the erection
of dikes around two large towns on
the edge of the area that will be
flooded. This will be accomplished
with funds for ration wages donat
ed last year and the year before by
sympathetic Americans. The dikes
will save the town dwellers, herded
like rabbits m warrens and posses
sing but little, but the farmers are to
lose all.
The Yellow river flood last year
sent down its torrents as usual, but
the dykes held until most of the peo
ple could get out of the way. When
the break came thousands of acres
were inundated. Had the dyke been
repaired a more serious calamity this
year could have been avoided. But
the province had no money and Pe-
kin had neither money nor the time
to listen, what with cabinet crises
militarist and other corruption and
factional maneuverings for what yet
may prove civil war.
Contractor Gives Up.
In July the flood will come. A
great gap many miles long awaits the
torrent that will spread out over the
vast area. The estimated cost of the
dyke, made by an American engi
neering firm, is $950,000 Mex) with
out anything but a mere supervising
profit but at a price reckoned actually
without squeeze or commissions to
authorities and with labor at current
prices .without additional book
charge to the influential recruiters of
labor. Philanthropy does not exist
in China not even in Shantung. In
mid-April the generous contracting
firm passed up the case as hopeless
The doomed area is in the delta
section, on land reclaimed by the
silt swept down in the centuries the
rellow river has been washing the
mountains into the sea. The owners
ot the land are poor people, or else
tney would not be there. China is
overpopulated. In a desperate strug
gle for existence the less fortunate
were glad to get even this lowland
fhey biult their mud and brick
houses and they planted their crops
1 he wheat is all wavy green now,
but cannot be harvested until July.
Before the reapers can work the
floods will rise. All the seed sown
last year in the hope the dyke would
be repaired will be wasted. And
with it possibly many lives. Such is
China.
Scientists Will Decide
if Ballooning Is Safe
Paris, July IS. Should free bal
looning be relegated to history, along
with jousting, bear baiting and table
tennis?
Is it needlessly dangerous? Is it too
safe to be any fun?
These questions, raised by the in
ternational balloon race which took
place here recently, are subjects of
discussion in both sport and scientific
circles. It is held on the one hand
that balloon races and ascensions
make use of a type of flying machine
that is as antiquated in comparison
to dirigibles or airplanes as a tricy
cle is to an eight-cylinder speedster.
The pro-balloonists declare that man
kind always will enjoy putting him
self to some extent at the mercy of
an element over which he has ob
tained at least partial mastery.
Funds Are Raised to Send
Madame Vonsiatsky to U. S.
Paris, July IS. Paris-Russian col

Mrs. Vansiatsky. youthful, lithe
Russian beauty, talks threateningly
of her husband, Anastase Vonsiat
sky, whom she is determined to
have prosecuted for bigamy. Vonsi
atsky married Mrs. Marion Stephens,
American heiress, in New York.
Russian friends says that in cases
of bigamy it is often the custom in
Russia for deserted wives to take
the law into their own hands.
Mrs. Vonsiatsky lives at present
with her brother and' sisters in
Paris. She ha been trying to get an

Radio telephony, with it speed of

cisco the voice should travel at mere

second it would take more than four
hour for the first word to reach the
ear of the listener; whereas, by radio,
the voice is transmitted at the speed
of light, so that there is no ap
