This, | naturally, was vehemently denied by his | friends. He is now an exile in:Santo Do- | mingo and apparently has oodles of money with which he is acquiring more wealth and power, as the following from the Ha- vana Post indicates: “Here is an account of Machado’s life brought back to Guba by a dependable youth who has just returned from Santo Domingo: ‘Machado lives freely in Santo Do- mingo, where I have seen him often. He goes around the city in company with four men armed as bodyguards, ‘Sometime ago he had a big party at his house and a man was wounded during the party. Apparently nothing was done about it. i ‘Machado has made generous offers to the Dominican people, trying to make himself popular. Among things he has} promised was to give enough silver bul- lion to guarantee coinage of money in or. | der to help the country out of a financial er ‘Machado and Trujillo are partners in several monopolies, including shoe fac- tories and rice production, ; ‘Machado travels around in a_ big { black automobile, accompanied by two Dominican army officers and two men wearing the uniform of Cuban army offi- | cers, ‘A by-word among some of the peo- ple of Santo Domingo is: ‘We have two} presidents—Trujillo and Machado.’ ‘Machado is surrounded by a good- | sized group of his Cuban followers, all of them receiving monthly allowances from him while he tries to place them in public jobs there. ‘Machado and Trujillo meet and appear to he the best of friends. often, LANGLEY CENTENARY | One hundred years ago on August 22 the eminent scientist and pioneer in the field of aerial navigation, Samuel Pierpont Langley, was born at, Roxbury, Mass. That he -was the first to build a_ practical heavier-than-air machine capable of flight is generally recognized. Langley was a most gifted and ver- satile man, a civil engineer, architect, mathematician, astronomer, physicist and inventor, From 1887 until his death in 1906 he was secretary of the Smithsonian | Institute in W ington. After extensive experiments he an- nounced the attainment of mechanical | flight. His work was encouraged by a} small appropriation by Congress, but when ; his first airplane capable of carrying a man was wrecked in launching, govern- ment support withdrawn. There seems to be no doubt that with a little fur- ther financial assistance Langiey would have been entirely successful. His investigations into lifting force and air resistance proved most valuable to inventors who followed the trail he had blazed. His airplane models made many successful flights, but without a human | ps nger, using steam engines for motive was power. One of them flew across the Potomac river in 1896. Having so nearly reached the goal, which was denied him because of lack of funds, Prof. Langley was destined to see all he had accomplished relegated to the background by the successful flights of the Wright brothers in 1903. He died a tion on the part of his countrymen to ac- cord full credit for his outstanding con-| tribution to the science and art of airjs navigation. eee a } ORIGIN OF “30” | The origin of the figures “30” by editors on a piece of copy to designate that } it is the last item for that issue, so “make-up” will know there is no more to come and prepare for the closing of the forms, is not definitely known though there are many versions.
