MAN MAY FLY BY HIS OWN POWER PARIS, Aug. 20—Gabriel Poulain, the French champion cyclist who recently carried of the 10,000 franc price for the first flight made by human effort, believes that his experiments have proven that there are other elements to be developed in the science of flying than the increase of motive power, toward which most of the efforts of manufacturers have so far been directed. "I did not aim to fly with the machine I used," Poulain told the United Press. "I merely wanted to satisfy myself that I could take off of my own power, and now that I have accomplished this, I see no reason why I should not be able to propel myself thru the air of my own power, since it requires 25 per cent more power to take off than to fly. I used to pilot a Nieuport biplane, and while I could fly without losing height with the propeller turning at 700 revolutions a minute, it required 1200 revolutions to lift the machine from the ground. "The 'Aviette,' which I used, was only an experimental machine. It was not equipped to fly. I am now building a new model which will be fitted with a propellor and all the control devices of an airplane. With this I hope to make flights of from 300 to 400 yards at a height of from 15 to 20 feet." "I am now in the experimental stage. I believe, however, that my demonstrations will reverse some of the theories of flying, which we now hold." "In my opinion, we have given too much attention to the development of motive force without concentrating sufficiently on the other elements that enter into the problem."

New York Letter by Lucy Seanne Price NEW YORK, Aug. 20—An average of NE WYORK LETTER...6 ...6 ...6 one new play every other day was produced in New York this past season; 157 in all, which is seven more than were put on the year before. The season is counted as over, now, although there will undoubtedly be a few more revues in town during July. Then as early as August, the new season will begin, as against the September and October opening of former times. The Newport set of New York society is considerably wrought up or amused, according to temperament, by the nonchalance of an erstwhile of that fashionable resort. She is a widow and went in with another widow of the same set on a lot of household expenses and promissory notes. Something went wrong with their finances and they are both being sued. Fortunately for her, the first mentioned lady had left for Europe and was comfortably enconceded on the other side when the lawsuits broke. Her friends cabled her asking her to come back and take her share of the responsibility. Whereupon the fortunate one cabled back, "I have heard of the suit. Best love." Plans are being formulated here for a national American Caruso Memorial Foundation, probably to take the form of a million-dollar fund to provide for training in voice culture for promising young American artists under the celebrated masters of Europe. The plan was formulated by the Order of the Sons of Italy, but admirers of the golden-voiced Caruso and, indeed, all music lovers are taking an interest in the proposal.

They are due to arrive at the bay metropolis today. THE WATER POWER SITES (Fresno Californian) Los Angeles persists in her attempt to monopolize the power resources of California as is shown by the application made on behalf of that city before the state water commission. These applications are supplementary to the pleadings of the southern municipality made before the federal power commission for permission to file on the land. From the state government she asks for water and from the general government the earth. Apparently she proposes to leave to the rest of us such portion of the blue sky as we may be able to hold. This attempt on the part of Los Angeles to corral everything of value from Hetch Hetchy to the Mexican line, is coming in for general discussion, and apparently is meeting with unanimous disapprobation outside of that city and with considerable disapproval inside of its boundaries. We are pleased to note that many of the public bodies in localities to the south of the Hehachepi have spoken with no uncertain meaning on the matter. It is generally recognized that the stand taken by Los Angeles is indefensible. A Want Ad in the Plain Dealer will bring results.

Oh, yes, nearly all of them are "love charms," guaranteed to keep off harm and hold love true. A fair-sized order even for a charm, sometimes. They welcomed the New Year in down at Freeport, Long Island, the other night. It may not look just right on the calendar, but opportunity is more than any printed schedule and the celebration of the New Year must come when the celebrators get a chance at it. Down at Freeport there is quite an actor's colony, and its members just let the holidays pile up in the file case, as it were, and take them out to be used whenever they can beat get around to it. Christmas and New Year's day are particularly busy times with them and they can't stop and celebrate. So they decided three years ago to switch the seasons. In the summer time they have plenty of leisure, and July and August have been made over into December and January at Freeport, with all dates properly observed in accordance with that change, Santa Clauses and all. The hotels may be getting their quota of New York's summer visitors, but the real place to see them is the Children's Court. There are more runaway boys and girls in town than there are dress buyers or honeymoon couples. From all parts of the country, these runaways come, tired of the long holidays in small towns or of the routine of work on the farm. It is probably easier to get away in the summer and so here they are. The court has heard more stories of youthful ambitions these hot summer mornings than ever were put into childhood's written literature of all ages. Most of the girl runaways have come to go into the movies. The boys have been drawn largely by the call of the battleships in the Hudson river. "Ten per cent discount for husbands."

It has been several days now since Manhattan suddenly made the discovery of these things cut into the stones of St. Thomas church and the fact that they have all been there for 15 years. A new industry has sprung into being at one of the country clubs near New York. The caddie master—probably a canny Scot—is doing a nice little business insuring golf balls. For fifty cents he agrees to replace any balls lost by a player during a trip around the eighteen holes. The fifty cents is paid him the beginning of the game, of course, and is his wheather any balls are lost or not. Miss Bernice C. Shidelsky has started on a trip across the country with an idea of learning the why, how, and whither of divorce laws and divorces in our various latitudes. Her first stop will be at Chicago and from there she will continue on west. Hils Shidelsky herself has an idea that woman's ability to earn her own living mal have something to do with her refusal to stay tied down when she doesn't like the situation. Four new productions are announced for the beginning of the Marc Klaw, Inc., activities. "Sonya" adapted from the Polish of Gabryela Zapolska, will be the first, opening this month; "Other Lives," directed by Dudley Diggs, of Theatre Guild fame; "The Full Cup;" and "We Girls," by the Hattons, are other plays on the early schedule.

Arla Flamma, who for a dozen years has had a vogue in Italy as one of the younger dramatists in the making of one-act plays, is to have his first long play produced in New York within the next few weeks, in English, fortunately. It is called "The Mask of Hamlet," and strangely enough, considering Mr. Flamma's symbolic work of the past, it is a dream of the bomb tragedy in our own Wall Street. The dramatist is now making his home in New York. Christopher street, in Manhattan's district of picturesque and "Bohemian" atmosphere, has seen the death of Romance. The small boys and girls who dwell in that enchanted region have been thrown down cold by the gods of adventure. The center of "atmosphere" down there is a mysterious "hokum" restaurant, where the waiters dress as pirates.

It has days now since Manhatmade the discovery of cut into the stones of church and the fact that been there for 15 years without ever being noticed does not serve to placate the tempest. The stand taken by the architects that these things are symbols just as appropriate to our times as were the gargolyes on famous old cathedrals of Europe doesn't quite satisfy the average mind. New York is divided into pretty much wrought up factions clamoring for and against the fitness of such things. One of the prominent clergymen, who has refused to commit himself on the matter, says chag. "It's something to get this city connected about anything connected with the church. Maybe it will get the habit of looking inside oftener." Prest-O-Lite Battery for FORDS $25 Robert V.

He read it eagerly—conning every line—getting every word. What a harvest he could have garnered from a modern newspaper! And not the least interesting to him would have been the advertisements, with their stories and their pictures of products, appliances and services that have smoothed the course of life to a degree unknown and unbelievable in the rough pioneer days. Nowadays new comforts and conveniences slip into our lives almost without our realizing it. We are liable to be rather matter-of-fact about it all. And advertising that has made it simpler to make and distribute profitably innumerable products at reasonable prices, has played a leading part in making our life so eminently easy to live. Read over the advertisements and try to think what-the things you see there would have meant to our forefathers. Then you'll realize what a service and what a convenience advertising is to you.
