Inventor Sees Greater Ad- vance Than He Ever Regarded Possible. {Discusses Hopes and Aims of Brother and Himself for Launching Project. By the Associated Press. DAYTON, Ohlo, December 17.—A vast aerial traffic, carrying thousands of passengers across the continent every 24 hours in swift, luxurious planes may be a commonplace fact with#h & few years, as a result of two sport a quarter century ago. Orville Wright, co-inventor with his interview with the Associated Press recalled the Summer's pastime which became a science and Invoked the vision of its possibilities. Tomorrow is the 23d anniversary of the first successful airplane flight when the Wright's flimsy ship took off from a bleak hillside near Kitty Hawk, N. C., on December 17, 1903, and soared over a nearby marsh. g Naturally conservative and cautious, voung men’s plans for a Summer's | brother Wilbur of the airplane, in an | THE -EVENING WRIGHT ACCLAIMS PROGRESS IN AIRPLANE DEVELOPMENT U VILLE WRIGH' be In existence. “Of course I don't know when that time will come, if ever, but it does seem likely, doesn't it? There is no reason why we STAR, WASHINGTON, ] f""“ because of the dangers of land- ke The inveftor is a shy, reserved man, but his reticence gave way to reminis- cence and prophecy. He revealed that the airplane, like other great in- ventions, was at least partly acel- dental. | “Wilbur and I had been reading about gliders and so one Summer, just for sport, we planned to build one,” Mr. Wright sald. ‘We used {all ‘the data available at that time, | but the glider wouldn't glide, All the | calculations were wrong. Then we | became interested in the sclentific ! side, and conducted our own experi- { ments on which we based new calcu- { lations. It was not so much inspira- | tion and genius as understanding of the laws of physics that made these | experiments successful. “Another question that bothered us was: Would we be able to fly it after we'd built t? Man had never flown |in & heavier-than-air machine before In fact, I believe our biggest thrill came from lying In bed and thinking A Dress Sale That Sets a New D. FRIDAY, about flying. We didn't know what might happen.” On the other hand, while the sense of achievement as the first plane settled to the ground after its initial flight was strong, the thrill that day was rather less than might have been expected. [ “We were certain it would fly,” the inventor said. ‘“We'd figured every- thing out carefully and knéw exactly what it ought to do. We built small models and made wind tunnel tests just as they do now and we'd have been much more surprised if it hadn’t flown.” When the two brothers made that first filght in a powered machine, only a handful of friends braved the cold and stood on the wind-swept slope to witness the take off. Vright was apparently amused how far short their imagina- ad fallen in visualizing the fu- ? the airplane. “We thought it might make 100 n hour possibly and now e approaching 300. We imag- DECEMBER 17, 1926. ed it in use for pleasure and pos- bly for observation purposes in war. The progress has been greater than we ever dreamed.” Today, however, he admitted the possibilities were virtually unlimited. “Who can tell what they can do with the airplane in the next few years? Already its.speed has been brought up trom 20 to 30 miles an hour to nearly 300. Airplanes are carrying pasasengers in comfort and safety. They move mail more swiftly ping landing flelds at much more fre- queat intervals along the air routes. “Flying itself is not dangerous,” he asserted. “It is the lack of proper emergency landing fields close to- gether that makes flying dangerous when one is forced to land. The emergency fields should be about 25 miles apart.” The iInventor praised the policy of | the Department of Commerce in fits encouragement of commercial avia- | tion and expressed disapproval of the “The routes are not paying propo sitions now,” he said, “and what pri vate operators can afford to stand the losses? The Government should get them on a paying basls before turning them over to private oper ators.” He declared, however, that the air mall routes were the most i, portant step yet taken in the develop | ment of commercial aviation. e About 45,000 Greek athletic fane than we could hope to by any other ' Post Office Department's letting the | could be packed into the stadium in agency. The airplane means trans portation—speed and transportation. It can and will be of immense benefit In war and commerce.” Mr. Wright's ideas on commercial aviation development absolutely bar Government subsidies, but include Federal Government aid in mapping, advisory and perhaps supervisory con- trol. He believes the airlines should be operated by private concerns. His program also would provide that State and municipal governments do their part by establishing and equip- alr mail route contracts to private concerns at the present stage. which the famous Olympic games were held. | Christmas, 1926 SHOP EARLY—MAIL EARLY FOR BETTER SERVICE R R R O IR RERERERERIRDERERVERERERET Buy One Dress for /I;,\Q\ \‘j/ (2 Dresses for $15.)
