Self-Supporting in Canada. _ Strides made by Canada in civil avia- tion during nine years of its history in { the Dominion have placed it on a self- supporting basis, J. A. Wilson, control- ler of Canadian civil aviation, told the conference. “Our forest patrols, air photography, forest type mapping and transportation are continued because the Government finds the work can be done more effec~ tively and often more cheaply with the help of aircraft,” he said, and praised the co-operation rrovided by the United States in the building up of an inter- national air transportation between the United States and Canada. The conference adjourned for luncheon shortly before 1 o'clock and was to split this afternoon in four groups. The first, on the organization and economics of air transportation, had as its chairman Assistant Secretary of ‘War Davison. The second, on the legal aspects of air transportation, had as its chairman Senator Hiram Bingham. Harry Guggenheim, president of the Guggenheim Fund for Promotion of Civil Aeronautics, led the discussion in the third group, devoted to private fly- ing, touring and competitions, while still a fourth group met to consider aerial photograpny and area propaganda. President Coolidge receives the dele-~ gates at the White House at 5 o'clock this afternoon, while Secretary Whiting will hold another reception for them at the Chamber of Commerce at 9 o'clock . tonight. Another plenary ses- sion will be held tomorrow morning, Secretary MacCracken in - the chair. This meeting will be given over to airway development. Wright Heads U. S. Delegation. Orville Wright heads the American delegation, appointed by the President. This group includes the following: Sen:isor Bingham, president of the Na- nal Aeronautic Association; Nelson T. Johnson, Assistant Secretary of War L-vison, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Warner, Secretary of Com- merce Whiting, W. Irving Gitver, Second Assistant Postmaster General; Col.

Chapter Meeting Featured by Address by National President. 100 Members Enrolled. The board of directors of the Wash- ington chapter of the Association of Torch Clubs, was elected last night at The directors chosen for a 3-year | term are: George Otis Smith, director of the United States Geological Sur- vey: Gideon A. Lyon, associate editor of The Star, and Dr. Edgar P. Copeland. Those whose term will run for 2 years are: Dr. W. Coleman Nevils, S. J., presi- dent of Geofgetown University; Dean George B. Woods of the college of arts and sciences of American University, and William Knowles Cooper, general secratary of the Y. M. C. A._Directors elected for 1 year include Dean Wil- liam C. Van Vleck of the George Wash- ington University Law School; C. G. Woodbury, research scientist of the United States Canners’ Association, and Richard S. Merryman. head of the Corcoran School of Art. The principal address was delivered by Dr. B. R. Buckingham, president of the national association. The board of directors will be summoned in the near future by the temporary president, Dr. Smith, to meet and elect the per- manent officers and committees of the { chapter, it was announced. The membershin of the Washington chapter has now reached the 100 mark and it is thought the full quota will not exceed 115. Th= Association of Torch Clubs is an inter-professional cultural organization with units throughout the countrv. The local chapter was recent- ly formed. Men of 46 Nations {At Parley, But Only Two LanguagesUsed Although 40 nations are repre- sented at the International Confer- ence on Civil Aeronautics, which cenvened today at the United States hamber of Commerce, only two anguages have been adopted as of- ficlal—French and English. Delegates from Chinese, dinavian and 8§ countries, under cedure adopted, are to present their papers in their mother tongue, and resumes of each will be printed in English and French. Verbal dis- cussions also_will be recorded in Freach and English, . early financial success for regular air | @ meet'ng in the Washingten Hotel, and | |/ by-laws’ were adopted. ! spening the International Civil Aeronau-~ tics Conference here today follows: “Members of the Conference: . “This year will mark the first quarter century of the history of human flight. {1t has been a period of such great im- | portance in scientific development that it seems fitting to celebrate it with ap- propriate form and ceremony. For that purpose, this conference has been called, and to the consideration of the past | |record and future progress of the science {of aeronautics, in behalf of the Gov- | ernment and people of the United States, I bid you welcome. “Twenty-five years ago, at Kitty | Hawk, N. C., occurred an event of tre- |mendous significance. It was the first extended flight ever made by man in a power-driven, heavier-than-air ma- chine, How more appropriately could | we celebrate this important anniversary | than by gathering together to consider | the strides made throughout the world in the science and practice of' civil aeronautics since that dav and to dis- cuss ways and means of further devel- oping it for the benefit of mankind? | | "Others whose names will long be | remembered had done much to solve |the problem, but it remained for the able, persistent and modest brothers | from Dayton to demonstrate completely | the possibility of a machine raising it- |gelf by its own power and carrying a |man in sustained flight. “Human flight with wings, which had intrigued the imaginatior. since the be- ginning of time, became a practical reality on the cay that the airplane of Wilbur and Orville Wright rose from the wind-swept dunes of the Atlantic coast. The elder brother lives with us only in memory, but Orville Wright, who piloted that first plane, is still actively interested in that science. We are glad to have him as one of our delegates to this conference. “No achievement of man in the prog- ress of civilization has had a more rapid expansion. In the early days the ability to ‘fly was ascribed to gods and demigods, to spirits and supernatural and mythical beings, both of the human and animal family. Pegasus, the winged horse, and Daedalus and Icarus are two of the innumerable examples which come readily to mind. The yearning to fly probably always has been in the human breast. But for centuries its fulfillment was considered as visionary, unattainable. 'Even within our memory utter impossibility was expressed by say- ing, ‘Might as well try to fly.’ Romance vs. Science. “There is a wide difference between the romance of flying and aeronautics as a science. Archytas, Greek mathe- matician and mechanician of the first half of the fourth century B.C., made a flying pigeon. This seems to be the earliest authentic record of mechanical flying. Leonardo da Vinci, artist and scientist extraordinary, who lived in Italy more than 400 years ago, left some interesting treatises and drawings on the principles of human fiying. It was not until 1783. however, that a man was actually lifted from the ground and carried 'along in the air for a consider- able distance. The vehicle was a hot- air balloon, devised by the Montgolfier brothers, paper makers of Auvergne, France. One of them was invited to address the Royal Academy of Science, and ascents were made for the King and Queen. In 1852 a TIrechman built a dirigible balloon, propelled by steam, but further progress was delayed until | the development of the internal com- bustion engine. Alberto Santos Dumont, brilliant young Brazilian, began in Paris in 1898 to construct a navigable balloon. About the same time in Germany Count von Zeppelin started to work out his rigid airship. Only recently have we welcomed here the latest example of his skill. “In the meantime beginning with Cayley, Englishman and ‘father of aerodynamics,” who died in 1857, and continuing down through Henson and Stringfellow, Maxim, Ader, Lilienthal and Langley (of Washington)—scient- ists were gradually, with gliders and other devices, working out the problem of a heavier-than-air machine. “With genius, indomitable persever- ance and a will to overcome obstacles, the Wrights, mindful of what had gone before, applied themselves to the solu- tion of the problem. They experimented at Kitty Hawk for three seasons, and in the fourth, on December 17, 1903, success crowned their efforts. I under- stand the delegates to this conference will visit this historic spot on Monday, the exact day of the anniversary, to pay tribute to their achievement. That first flight .Jacted only 12 second: more were made the same day. One of 59 seconds carried the plane a dis- tance of 852 feet. It was wrecked by the wind, and tests ended for the time. Further experiments were made in Day- ton in 1904 and 1905. In the latter HISTORY OF HUMAN FLIGHT IS DESCRIBED BY PRESIDENT Coolidge Opens International Givil Aero- nautics Conference Here Today. The address of President Coolidge in !miles at the rate of 38 miles an hour. /'Channel by the Frenchman, Blerio Three years later one was bought by the War Department, our Government be- ing the first to utilize this new device. “Other countries took up the idea, and for a period rather outstripped us | in flying. The crossing of the Englis considered an astounding feat, was made in 1909. Demands of the World War brought about the rapid advance | in both the science and the practice | and in the production of equipment. | After the armistice one after the other came the daring flights to annihilate; space and time, including the thrilling and solitary journey from New York to Paris by our own Linchergh in 1927. “It is to -the development of aero- nautics as an aid to the peaceful pur- suits of transportation, of commerce and of trade that this conference is to direct its attention. We are making a reality of the wonderful vision of Ten- {lysnn, who in his ‘Locksley Hall’ wrote n 1842: “‘For I dipt into the future, far as hu- | man eye could see, Saw the vision of the world and all | the wonder that would be; Saw the heavens fill with commerce, | argosies of magic sails, | Pilots of the purple twilight. dropping | down with costly bales.’ “After the war European nations be- gan to develop aeronautics as a part of | their transportation systems. Passen- | ger lines with heavy government sub- sidies were established between prifci- pal citles. In America during the war 10,000 pilots were taught to fly, hun- dreds of aeronautic engineers and de- signers were trained, nearly 17,000 planes were manufactured by thousands of artisans who became skilled in air- craft production in many new factories. All of this was an important foundation | for building up of civil aeronautics. Prior to this period our attention had been directed to the use of the airplane as a carrier of mail. From 1912 the Post Office Department sought money to establish air-mail lines, but not until 1918 was a special appropriation se- cured. In May of that year, between Washington and New York, the first regular route was established. This service has been rapldly expanded, un- til now we have morz than 22 mail routes, with a daily mileage of nearly 31,000 miles. The air-mail poundage for January, 1926, was 23,000 pounds. In October this year 467,422 pounds were carried, as compared with 423,838 in the previous month. Reduction in | the postal rates last July doubled the amount carried inside of 30 days. “In 1926 the Government officially | recognized the importance of flying by establishing the post of Assistant Secre- tary for Aeronautics in each of the War, the Navy and the Commerce Depart- ments. Since then we have made re- markable progress. Then the value of the aeronautic industry in the United States was placed at less than $5,000,- 000. Today it is said to be in excess of $150,000,000. In 1925 the production of aircraft was valued at about $13,000,000; for 1928 the estimate is more than $50,- 000,000. For the air activities of the Department of Commerce we spent in 1927 more than $800,000, this year more than three and a half million, and the estimate for 1929 is just under five and a half million. “Aeronautics have- been rapidly ad- vanced in other parts of the world as well. * Nearly -half of the 70,000 miles of air routes regularly operated in the world are in international air services, connecting important cities. Approxi- mately 10,500 are in Latin Amercia and | | A large amount of civil flying is now | deserts. roximately 15,500 miles of airways, on which during the first six months of the year nearly three and a quarter million miles were flown on regular schedule. The daily mileage is estimated at 52,000 miles. We have three important inter- national lines—New York to Montreal, Seattle to Vancouver, and Miami to Havana. Plans to extend the latter to the Isthmus and South America are under way. The transportation com- panies have been taxed far beyond their equipment. A recent and important de- velopment has been the linking of the airplane and the transcontinental rail- ways, providing a rapid journey between distant points. The airplane is used for fast day travel, with a transfer to a railroad for the night journey. “The nineteenth century was the railroad and steamkroat age. The twen- tiéth century will be known for the development. of aeronautics and air | transport. The airways of the world | now have a greater mileage than the ailways did in 1850, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of the first railroad built by Stephenson. Atten- tion has recently been called to the safety, of air passenger service com- pared with that of railroads in the early days. In 1927 the Imperial Air- vays, Ltd., carried 52,000 passengers over 2,500,000 miles without injury to a single passenger. In 1842 eight Eng- lish raflwa; carrying 10,503 passen- gers over 3,652,338 miles, killed 22 and injured 34 others. .

Ouf | transcontinental airway from New York‘ | |to San Francisco is more than 2,600 miles long. More than 5,000 additional miles of airway are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce. An air in- formation service is maintained and aeronautic research carried on through the Bureau of Standards. * Valuable co- operation is rendered i the establish- ment and equipment of airports. On October 1 1,387 ports were available for the use of the Army, Navy and com- mercial flyers. Municipalities and com- munities in all parts of the country, realizing that air contects mean more and better business, are planning air- ports. Nearly 900 more are now in prospect. “Air transport means much to the United States, divided as it is in the West by lofty mountain “ranges and In the early days it took six months to go from Missouri to the Pacific Coast. An airplane has trav- eled across the continent in less than 24 hours. We are stretching out our arms through the air to Canada and to our other friends and neighbors in the South. “All nations are looking forward to the day of extensive, regular and rea- sonably safe inte.continental and inter- oceanic transportation by airplane and airship. What the future holds out even the imagination may be inadequate to grasp. We may be sure, however, that the prefection and extension of air transport throughout the world will be of the utmost significance to civili- zation. While the primary aim of this industry is and will be commercial and economic and the prosperity of the | world will be immeasurably advanced by it, indirectly, but no less surely, will the nations be drawn more closely to- gether in bonds of amity and under- standing. This conference, I know, will have far-reaching results in the ad- vancement of a science and industry which appeals both tc the spirit and | intendents of these institutions. the reason of man and which as the years go by will cement more and more fnmly the bonds of international broth- erhood.” Costing $3.000.000, a new theater will be erected in Sydney, Australia. about 5,000 in Australia. -Some have been in operation for several years. Among the new services opened in 1928 are the Peruvian navy line over the 6,000 miles between Lima and Iquitos, between Lima and Talara, and the Bar- ranquilla-Guayaquil, Nueve-Laredo, Da- kar-Buenos Aires, and Montreal to New York lines. Additional routes are being planned between the United States and the West Indies, South America and Mexico, and Australia and Canada. Im- portant routes being considered are be- tween the Netherlands and the Nether- land East Indles and between Great Britain and Australia. 15,000,000 Miles Flown. “From incomplete reports it is indi- cated that about 15,000,000 miles were flown on European air services alone in 1927, more than 200,000 passengers car- ried and 10,000,000 pounds of luggage and goods and 3,000,000 pounds of mail. An average of nearly 75,000 miles daily were flown. It is estimated that these figures will be increased from 25 to 33 per cent for 1928. Most of the Euro- pean lines have government subsidies. The efficient way in which they are operated has resulted in increasingly better financial reports. “Regular flying in the United States, beginning with a short mail line, has year a Wright plane traveled for 24 increased until this year there are ap- || Even he can’t get away with it ON'T try to put anything over { on Nature,'”is the way a cop | would express it. “‘Sooner or later | she’ll get you.
