L s PROGRAM HONORS ORVLLE WRIGH! 75 Envoys of Foreign Na-| tions Attend Dayton Celebration. By the Associated Press. DAYTON, Ohio, December 10.—The “cradle of aviation” to day paid tribute to the man who rocked the cradle dur- ing the trying years of aviation's early history, Orville Wright, who with his late brother, Wilbur, perfected and flew the first essful flying machine, was the recipient of a civic celebration to demongtrate that the first man to fly is not a prophet without honor in his own community. Regardless of whether any one ever | questioned the ability of the Wrights to | fly in these early todays, today found a thoroughly “air-minded” city ready to | honor its first citizen. Seventy-five delegates from foreign nations, includ- ing many diplomatic officials and aeron- autical experts, joined in the full day" celebration. Laboratories Visited. A trip to the Army aeronautical laboratories at Wright Field, named for the air pioneers, led the officials past an old barn-like hangar and flying field which the Wright brothers used in their early flying days. It was there that they set up a shop to improve their plane after their first successful flight at Kittyhawk, N. C., just 25 years ago this month. d mice now play about the old hangar with careless disregard for its historic flavor, while weeds stand 4igh in “Huffman prairie,” which was the Wright's airdrome after they left Kittyhawk in 1903. Ten giant muiti- motored planes, representing the latest development in American airplant de- vept across the old Wright air- yesterday carrying the foreign delegations to Dayton from Chicago. Their luxuriously furnished cabins, carrying 10 to 12 passengers each, were a far cry from the kitelike planes which the Wright brothers took turns in flying over the same ground 20 years ago. Tribute to Wilbur Wright. ‘The foreign delegations, together with Government air officials, were to pay | tribute to the memory of Wilbur Wright this afternoon in a visit to his grave in Woodland Cemetery. He was strick: en with fever and died 10 years after he and his brother flew their first| plane. Brig. Gen. Lord Thomson, former British minister of the air, and Pierre Etiene Flandin, vice president of the French Chamber of Deputies, were to carry the world’s message of honor and recognition to Mr. Wright in ad- dresses at tonight’s banquet. William B. Mayo, chief engineer of the Ford Motor Co. and designer of the giant Ford transports, represented the in- dustry which has been built up from the Wrights' beginning, while William F. Whiting, Secretary of Commerce, and William P. MacCracken, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics, represented the Government. A special train was ready to carry the American and foreign delegations to the international civil aeronautics conference at Washington after the celebration. The Washington confer- ence, called by President Coolidge, wiil open Wednesday morning, with Orville Wright as the guest of honor. Marriage Licenses.

One of | these letters is as | follows: |~ “washington Tu- | berculosis Associa- tion: Am inclos- ing $2 in currency for the stamps sent to me with 2 = ing of gratitude, e privileged to do my little bit for | such a very worthy cause.” Another letter is from a woman who | sends $3 with the explanation that $2 are owed for seals reccived last year, sh having been very ill from a serious operation in the interval. A third wr | er notes the several items of health service listed on the margin of the seal sale letter and asks that more | attention be given to the fifth, namely, educational publicity,” and with partic- | ular emphasis on the danger of sneez- | |ing and coughing in public and the | duty of all so afflicted to cover their | mouths with handkerchiefs. | structive critic says: | 77“I would like to suggest a campaign under this head to stop coughing and | sneezing in public places unless the ! cough and sneeze are carefully covered up. Many dis>ases ahe spread that way. | I.ride up and down on crowded street cars every day and not more than one- fourth of the people who cough and sneeze make any effort whatever to keep the germs from reaching the air.” Of course, many of these are apparently in the ignorant class, but just as manv | if not more look prosperous and well dressed. The subject needs a vigorous | season of educational publicity. The | | spread of tuberculosis would be greatly | lessened, I am convinced, if each one of | the traveling public would always cover up his cough and sneeze.’ Although the goal of 4,000,000 Christ- mas seals sold is still very far away, the seal sale managers at Social Service House, 1022 Eleventh street, were much 2ncouraged by the cash remittances that | came in the first mail delivery this | morning, the first day of the second | week of the sale. Including the re- ceipts recorded and depesited up to | noon today, the Washington public has | bought approximately a million and a quarter of the Christmas health seals.

C, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1928. SOUNDPAYBASS COFERENE AM Lehlbach and McReynolds to Confer on Creating Perma- nent Salary Structure. An important step clarify the situation resulting from fail- ure to administer the Welch salary increase law according to the intents of Congress will be taken at a conference between Chairman Lehlbach of tae House civil service’ committee and Wil- liam C. McReynolds. Mr. McReynolds was designated to make a field survey for the Personnel Classification Board | and report to Congress early in January | on setting up a permanent structure for | dealing with personnel salary problems on a uniform, business-like basis. Representative Lehlbach in informing intended to| proper administration of the Welch act S0 as to grant retroactive legislation at the present short session for the relal of those who have not benefited as Con- ess had intended they should benefit, ill 2vail himself of Mr. McReynolds’ advice. It seems probable that the permanent structure to be built on the Personnel Classification Bureau's report, due after the Christmas holidays, cannot be set up during the short session and must g0 over to the prospective special ses- sion of Congress. Mr. Lehlbach, how- sistance Mr. McReynolds can give him, so that the stop-gap relief measure he proposes to introduce before the holi- days may be drafted in conformity with observations made by the board in its comprehensive field survey. In this way | Mr. Lehlbach feels he will be able to work out the best possible relief meas- ure to be rushed through in the short session. It is believed that the early shopping campaign is also having the effect of speeding likewise the buying of Christ- mas seals and their use on Christmas cards and parcels. | Manufacturers of all kinds of prod- | ucts from steel gates to jewelry, are sending representatives to the London museum to study the exhibits in order to get new ideas.

ROWNSVILLE, Tex., December 10.— Shylock, who demanded a pound of flesh as a wager forfeit and failed to get satisfaction due to an unforseen alternative, has been outwitted by a Rio Grande City banker. An appendix, substituting for a pound of flesh, was delivered Saturday to the banker in a pottle of alcohol by a man who lost a wager on the location of a squeak in _an automobile. Charles Celaya, the banker, won the t from Al Gutierrez, garage mechan- who insisted that the squeak was a spring of the car. Celaya insisted it was in the stabilizer. An impartial mechanic decided that the banker was right, and Gutiérrez today was recov- | ering from the appendix operation. When the dispute first arose, Celaya offered a $10 bet, but when this prov- it to a pound of flesh. The mechanic thought a pound of flesh might inca- oacitate him permanently, but compro- | against Celaya’s. The bet was made and the papers drawn before a notary public and wit- to a mechanic whom both agreed was an impartial judge. He ruled in favor of Celaya.
