This flight attracted considerable attention, and was taken to prove the possibility of mechanical flizht. It resulted in the United States Government making available $30.000 for the construction full ng airplane. Langley's work was carried on later with the stance of les M. Manly, who designed a five-cylinder engine for one of the Langley plan, The engine, which developed about horsepower and weighed about pounds, drove two propellers connect- ed indirectly with the engine. Two flights were attempted, in Octo- ber and in December, 1903, but both failed because of launching gear diffi- culties. Mr. Manly, who designed the engine, was the pilot in both instances, be said that he was the ane pilot. He died just a and such would be a fitting tribute for his contribution to the de. velopment of aviation. Although Langley’s experiments were unsuccessful, ‘and because of | their failure the Government withdrew |its support. aviation, nevertheles awes much to him because of the in formation gained through his experi- | ments. In 1914 the plane which Manly | was una e to fly in 1903 was equipped with ponteons and was flown success- fully, thus showing that Langley's design essentially was air-worthy. While Langley was conducting his | experiments ‘on the Potomac, the Wright Brothers were experimenting with gliders in the vincinity of Kitty Hawk, N. C. After several years of experimentation, they installed an engine in_ their glider and on Decem- ber 17, Orville Wright made E ful flight in an airplane. first flight lasted 12 seconds, but it was successful in every re. pect.

Late in 1907 the government adver- tised, asking for bids for the con- struction of military airplan More than 20 bids, ranging from $500 to $55,000, were received and, although | two bids ‘were accepted, the Wright Brothers were the only ones to de- liver an airplane under the contract.

The case was that of Miss Kather- line Young, a cook, who sued Lady | Furness of Otterington Hall, North- allerton, for wages in lieu of notice, Giving a judgment for Lady Fur- ness, Judge James McCarthy in the Middlesbrough County Court held that the dismissal of the cook was entirely justified, because by refusing to bhake a cake on Sunday, in line of her or- dinary duty, she had committed a breach of contract. On the Sunday in question Lady Furness said she had asked Miss Young to bake one in an emergency. The cook declared she would not— seid she had never been requested to do such a thing on a Sunday and she would much rather quit her job than mix the dough and tend the oven on a Sabbath.
