STimTS TO FLy
t.vpe of engine. At that time we did
® wingless machines
which are used now in some aviation
schools and which keep a man run
ning along the ground without the
l>o\\er to rise until he has l)ecome
thoroughly accustomed to his new ve
hide and the operation of the con
trol!? has become instinctive.
I learned as did most of the men
who have made a success of the
''ork. The controls were explained to
me and I made a thorough study of
• lie theor\’ on which the machine
ttpeiates, 1 know what to do to make
' lie monoplane go uj) or down or
t^tcor to right or left and I knew
how to warn the wings to preserve
niy balance—that is, ] knew thoi'si in
ihcor\. though I had. of course, never
tri'i'd them in jiractice.
"Now," said (irahame-White, "you
are to take a iiin along the ground
and see if you can steer the ma-
chijie. Thf' '.■’heel is tied so thai you
cannot go up into the" air. and all
,vou are to do is to keep going
straight and shut off your engine
whpn you come to the end of the
fieUl."
l*;vprything seemed perfectly sim
ple to me. and with the knowledge
fhat the l>inding of the steering post
would prevent me rising from the
.grotind. 1 felt that my first .iaunt
'vould tio ncithir.g more than rolling
• ‘ver the grass in a new type of ar.-
'lOi.uobile.
So my engine was started, and
when the)) ropeller rot going at a
fait siieed I gave the signal to the
mechanicr. v.-ho wore holding the m:;-
c’rine to let go and 1 felt myse’t
daslt forward smoothly over ihe
?rot.nd. 1 !)elievcd that all 1 had to
do was to loavr the machine pretiy
well alone and it would go in a
s;raight line until 1 stopped the en
gine: I'.ut in this I was destined to
mrf't v.ith a gicat surjirise, for, in-
sfad «if going straight aiiead. I found
my:ulf going around in a circle to

1 was at my starting jdace and had
sto)i:'ed the er!gine.

1 Find Myself in the Air.
,\' tilt' end of !he mile straighta
way on ll'.e couise was a road cross
ing the field at right angles and at
an elevation of several feet ai)ove
the rest of the groinid. Vithout think
ing much about this road and feeling,
perhaps, ihat so slight and so gradu
al an embankment was not a seiioits
obstacle, I wen dashing merrily on
and tin ihe slone toward the highway.
Had I stopped to argue the theory
of the engine. 1 would have shut off
my engine long before 1 readied tins
embankment. But I was full only of
the joy of operating a new machine
and theories did not bother me
Consequently. I dashed past the road
and a few minutes later my utter as
tonishment may he imagined when
1 suddenly realized that I wa.s not
upon the ground at all, hut wa'' sail
ing gracefully through the air at a
height of about eighty feet above
the earth.
The explanation of this fluke is
simple enough lo me now. When the
front of niy machine took the slope
of the embankment it rose until the
slant of my planes was exactly what
was necessary for the impact of the
air to get under them and give the
required lifting power for the ma
chine to fly. In other words, the em
bankment did for me what I might
have done for myself had my wheel
not been united and it sent my ma
chine upward into the air as graceful
ly and as easily as though it had
been purposely operated for that re
sult bv the most skillful aviator.
P'or the first few minutes my as
tonishment was so great that I did
absolntelv nothing but sit motionless
and let the Bleriot take its course.
Then I pulled myself together and
tried to remember everything that
Giahame-White had told me about
how to manage the machine.
My one thought was to get back to
mv starting point, for by this time, 1
had gone beyond the smooth fields
and was flying over rough and dan
gerotis ground that would have meant
instant disaster had I landed upon
It So, in order to turn, I thrust my
left foot gently forward and I
shall never forget my thrill of tri
umph as I found the Bleriot gradu
ally sweeping about in a wide and
easy circle to the left that soon
brought me again back to the smooth
fields and facing toward the direction
from which I had come.
I Meet With Unexpected Disaster
As 1 approached my starting place
I shoved my wheel gently forward,
as I had been instructed to do to
come down, and a few moments
thereafter I landed as '‘Shtjy as a
biid, feeling that my first flight had
indeed been a triumph unmarred m
anv way and entirely disproving the
discouraging things 1 had heard about

All Parties Woiry
Over the Piospects
01 Next Two Years
(By RODERICK CLIFFORD) ,
Washington, March 25.—What wijl
the next two years pi*oduce for the
republicans, democrats or progres
sives, who are to be the presidential
nomirees, and whether there Is to be
a third party or not, are questions that
leading politicians are asking as well
as the supporters of President Taft,
who confidently looks forward to his
renomination.
Although President Taft’s adminis
tration is pronounced “O.K" in official
circles, the fact still remains taht
he has not devoloped very strong
claims to put before the people in
the coming campaign to get votes for
the republican party.
On the democratic side, it is pointed
out. the republicans will have to go
before the people with the same is-
sue.s as were presented in the last
campaign—the high cost of living,
promises of tariff reform, and prom
ises of greater economy in administer
ing the affairs of the government. This
situation necessarily, has given strong
impetus to the movement for a third
party—the progressives—composed of
the radicals in both the democratic
and republican ranks.
On the republican side, Persident
Taft will be selected for renomina
tion. On the democratic side, leading
politicians say that Governors Wilson,
Harmon, or Dlx will receive the solid
vote for the nomination. The progres
sives. led bj’ Senator La Follette and
Cummins, and Representative Norris
and others in the House, naturally
look forward to controlling the votes
of the progressive movement.
La Follette. who is perhaps better
known to the country at large than
Senator Cummins or Representative
Norris, has a large following and in
all probability, would show' considera
ble strength in the convention. His
silence during the past session Of con
gress, until his brief talk on the Lori-^
mor case, cause a great deal of com
ment and induced speculation as to
v.hcther he was not saving his ammu
nition for a presidential campaign.
Evidently follow’ing his lead . the
I’rogressives as a whole in both the
the ditliculiios of learning to fiy.

i iatuicd \\ith the v.in^l and going
a: a sjieed weil up l)etween fifty and
sixty niile.s an hou;-, and not twenty
feet fi’om where I touched the ground
was a liigli fence. Into this I crashed
ai full fiieed. I fell a sudden jar and
heard the loud noises of splintering
wood all about me—so loud, indeed,
that T felt that the heavens were
tumbling about my ears. Then I felt
ancnher jar as 1 fell to the earth, and
when I had recovered rny senses suf-
ficientl.x to exaraine the v\-reck 1
fotind that there was not much left
excent the seal and me. For the seat
I liad no very high regard, but I was
mighty glad and grateful to find that
I was able to get up and walk about
with only a score or so of sore spots
distributed over my body.
1 must have been an awful sight
to behoid. From the very beginning
of my niglu, unaccustomed as I v,as
to hurtling at suoii a rate through
the air. the wind had lashed my eyes
as though with v,hip cords and my
eye halls had become in that few
moments sore and inflamed, 'rhe oil
from the engine had been dashed
back on to my face and there it had
mingled in grimy brotherhood w’ith
the v.ater that streamed from my
eyes under the lashing of the wind.
It took me a long while to get
ured to this pain caused in the eyes?
by the rushing air, and during the
next few weeks when 1 began fly
ing with the Gnome engine I got a
double dose of lubricating oil in my
hair, all over m.v face, and down my
neck, so that my early days of fly
ing. while full of exhilaration of a
new experience, w’ere not by any
means beautifying, nor did I feel
clean for a long time afterward, for
it was practically impossible to scrub
this burning oil out of the pores of
the skin.
The Beginner and the Motor.
It may be well to explain to those
who are not familiar with aviation
motors that the Anzani is a three-
cylinder engine developing about
twenty-five horse-yiower and w'ith
the cylinders set two in a V shape
and the third perpendicular between
them. The Gnome is a seven-cylinder,
star-shaped engine, and the whole
thing revolves around the crank. In
other words, the Anzani has—its cyl
Inders stationary and revolves the
crank shaft, whereas in the Gnome
the entire star-shaped engine goes
whirling around at the rate of 1,200
to 1,500 revolutions a minute, carry
ing the propeller around with It. It
can easily be imagined how this re
volving engine will throw’^ oil around
by the tremendous centrifugal force
it develops. Nowadays, they have
fitted a mental hood around the en
gine and this prevents the oil spat
tering back upon the aviator and
blinding liim, but in the old days w’e
had no such protection and a five
minutes’ flight was enough to give
our faces a solid coating of mingled
water from the eyes and burned ofi
thi'owu out from the flying cylinders
au ! back iiLion us by the rush
of -A iiul.
1 MfVv with Ihp jivst Gnome engiiie
e\c’r j.iur u])on tiic market. It was a
short time after 1 had taken iuy
iu'tial lessons from Grahaaic-White
aiid wiiea I was in the school run
by Bleriot liiniseM' a! Pan. 1 was
anxious lo try ’he new type of en
gine V. bich. in its i)reliminary trials,
lia.i made a r••emend'.>us stir in tlie
Vvnrld ('i' aviati('u and I was ioriui.atc
in being able to ])urch£se a machine
v.:;li the tirst ccnmierciai Gnome en
gine installed upon it.
It was a vastly different matter
to start a flight with this new power
plant. Instead of having an easy run
along the ground and lifting at a
speed of aiiou'. titirtv miles an liour
as 1 liad done with Grahame-White’s
Anzani, I now found myself rushing
alone: at nearly fifty miles an hour
almost as soon as the mechanics let
go of the machine. Hei’e my pooi
eyes got a lashing which I shall nev-
ei forget and which daily nearly
blinded me until I became accustomed
to flying at this tremendous speed;
nut my experience has firmly convinc
ed me of one thing, and that is that
tho noivce who learns to fiy a Ble
riot should begin witii the Anzania
motor and not atteiupt lo use the
powerful Gnome until he has pretty
thoroughly mastered the control of
his machine. Then he is able to cope
with the greater difficulties of the
high powered revolving motor and he
can take his place in the ranks of
expert aviators.
1 Go in For High Flying.
From the very first the one phase
of aviation that held a really pov/er-
ful fascination for me was altitude
climbing. All novices at the schools
not only at Pan but elsewhere in
Europe had been content to fly for
months al a height not exceeding fif
ty or seventy-five feet from the
ground. This never seemed to me to
be really flying. T regarded it only
as little more exciting than riding in
an automobile. No sooner had I tried
my fledgling wings than I looken
longingly into the upper air and
wanted to climb as far as my engine
would carry me.
On the third day of my practice at
t^e Bleriot school with the Gnome
motor, I decided to take affairs Into
my own hands and. disregarding all
the advice that had been given me,
I headed the machine upward and
climbed dose to one thousand feet,
when, suddenly, one after the other,
three of my cylinders w^ent had and
I w'as forced down to the ground
again. It was the result of some
minor defect in the new engine and
when it was repaired I took my
equipment with me to my place at
Beaulieu in England, there to practice
a bit and then try for my certificate,
or aviator’s license.
I became proficient in a remarkably
short time. When I felt that I could
pass inspection I had the officials
of the English Aero Club appoint a
day when I sould try for my certi
ficate, but I was determined that I
would not gain the coveted paper by
any mere exhibitions of plain flying
a short distance above the ground. I
wanted to go up—up—up—and noth
ing but a high flight would suit me
I spoke to one of the officials about
it but he shook his head dubiously.
“You are only a novice,” he said.
“You had better do just enough to
day to g«t your certificate and let
your a’litude v,ork go until you are
more proficient.”
T would not be satis.fied with this,
howe\er. and so i sent for a navy
oiTicer v/ho was an expert in the use
of a sextant and when all was ready
I mounted my machine. An ofiicial
crm.o up to wish me good luck and
just Ijeforo my mechanics started the
propeller, ! a^ked:
"Vrhat is the English height re
cord ? '
‘ Paulhan has it,'’ he replied. “It
is t>77 feet.’’
"Well," I said; as I turned away,
“I am going to try to beat that,”
I started^ off in wide circles and
the first two times i passed over the
heads of the ofiicials 1 saw one of
them vvave a red flag, the signal for
the ofdcer with the sextant to take
my heiglit. fligher and higher I
went. Vmt I was surprised not to see
thr flag wave after that and I came
to earth again.
“How much did I do?” I asked the
navy ofiicer.
“Ten hundred and forty feet,” ne
replied. “You have broken the Eng
lish altitude record and I belie%e
you \\ent twice as high as that, but
unfortunately the man who was to
signal me with the flag got mixed up
somehow and I only took your heigat
on your first and second circles.”
This love of altitude work has been
my constant passion ever since. Mere
ly to get into an aeroplane and fly
no longer lias any fascination for me.
I v,ant to climb. I want to keep going
up nntil I am sure that I am higher
than any man has ever been before
in a heavier-than-air machine, and,
thougli not long ago I almost deter
mined to give up aeroplane w'ork,
1 now feel the desire growing strong
er unon me and It would not srprise
me if I tried for another record this
spring.
Ths Best Way to Learn to Fly.
When I compare my beginnings
with the beginnings of other men
who are fi..ving I am forced to admit
that I have been more than usually
fortunate. I know of several cases
where the would-be aviator has spent
nearly a month doing little more
than making short hops from the
ground and often smashing up on
landing. In fact, so general is this
experience that most European
schools compel their pupils to spend
the first' three or four weeks doing
nothing but rolling along the ground
and sfeering to right and left.
After that, they spend another
month barely rising off of the earth
and coming down again as softly as
possible, and then another month
circling low around the field. Not un
til then are, they considered compe
tent to do any really free work or to
tr.v for an aviator's certificate.
When Paulhan sold his Farman
machine to Clifford B. Harmon, of
New York, he gave this outline as
the one that Harmon should follow
in learning to fiy. The New York am
ateur started to carry out his in
structions in all good faith, but he
became impatient at the slowness of
the method and one day, in spite of
the advice of his French mechanics,
he tilted his deviating plane and
w'ent into the air; nor was he satis
fied to come down until he had cir
cled the field at Mineola, L. I., a
number of times.
But for the average novice I
should not advise such haste at Har
mon and I made. i ne air is so full
of pitfalls and of surprises^ that
every motion made for the guidance
of the aeroplane should be so well
practiced as to have become an in
stinct. There is np time . to. ithink
of what to do when. a. contiaryi .£^st
of wind strikes the end of the plane
The moment that is taken for
thought is all that is required to get
the machine beyond the critical angle
and after that nothing that the avia
tor can do can save it
Eternal practice and unfailing pa
tience are. necessary Avhen the aver
age man lakes to flying. Day after
day he must go out “grass cutting”
as thev say at Mineola when the no
vices roll along the gi-ound or take
only hort, low jumps into the air.
This is not exciting and it will seem
to the would-be pilot that he is mak
ing slow progress, but, as a matter of
fact, he is training his mind and his
muscles to work in unison and
instinct, and this faculty alone is
worth all the trouble it takes to ac
quire it once It is called into play in
a bad spot high above the earth. It
senate and In- the house of representa
tives refrained from publicly criticis
ing with several exemptions, the ad
ministration of President Taft through
out the entire session. All overtures
made by the tsralght republicans to
the progressives were coolly received
and rejected. The progressives mani
fested a spirit of aloofness, and as
good as served notice on the adminis
tration that judgment would be se-
serv'ed until the admixiistration demon
strated such policies as would meet
the requirements of the progressives.
This situation caused the progres
sives to look around for presidential
timber, and, as the foremost leaders
of this new doctrine are not the most
acceptable to the majority of the rank
and file, a compromise candidate it is
expected will in all probability be se
lected. From indications, this nominee
might very likely be Governor Judson
Harmon, of Ohio, even if he is a dem
ocrat.
The progressive republicans are dis
inclined to fall into line behind the
leadership of President Taft, prln^cipal-
ly because of the passage of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. This bill
never satisfied the progressives of the
republican party. Try as the adminis
tration did. It was not possible to se
cure the support of the pjrogressivea
in the session of congress just closed.
The Canadian reciprocity bill did not
appeal to them. It was not even “all
right as far as it went,” for It did not
go in the right direction. In their opin
ion. This attenipt at tarlfl' revision
was looked upon as a compromise,
and did not strdike at the heart of
the evil as viewed by the progressives.
What they wanted and fought for was
a reduction In the tariff on clothing,
manufactured goods, on wire, steel and
iron and a few other commodles.
They point out that the president
in signing the Payne-Aldrich bill ac
cepted certain conditions of the bill
which were not to his liking and con
sequently gave In to his opponents.
The woolen schedule, It Is said, w^as al
lowed to remain over the protests of
all the leading progressives In both
branches of congress. Again, the pro
gressives attack the president for not
strenuously supporting the bill for tKe
direct election of United States
ators by popular vote, w'hich failed
passage, as did the bill granting st^te-
hood^ to Arizona; > in which the initia*
Uve, ?fffere»diM!n atnrf'^'fecall wats ia*
corporated. They resented the ad
ministration attempt to increase Ui©
rates of postage for magazines, as th#
progressives have bee conducting their
campaign through the magazines.
Only in one instance did the progres
sives pull with the administration, and
that on the question of a creation of a
tariff board for scientific revision of
