AERIAL HAV1GATI011 Company Organized to Do Business in the East.

Boston. June 3. Charles J. Glldden. who has won fame as a world motor tuorlst. Is going In more heavily than ever for air travel. Qualifying first as a "spherical balloonist" and pilot, he took up the study of air currents and conditions, and last fall was prominent at the Boston-Harvard aero meet at Squantum and a beginner In the study of aeroplaning. Mr. Glldden has returned to JloKton from a trip, the purpose of which, as announced, was to secure options for stations or landing places for his projected airship line from Ronton to Washington, lie has got the lefusal of sites along the line as far as Philadelphia, and is enthusiastic over his company's progress. He said at the Hotel Somerset: 'You know our company, the Aerial Navigation company, has been organised three years, under the laws of Massachusetts. It was originally formed for tho purpose of running a line of passenger and freight airships from Boston to New York. As time has gone on, however, the plans have been extended until now we purpose to run from Boston to Washington, with stops at Worcester, Springfield. Hartford, New Haven, nrldgeport, New. York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Disadvantages of Dirigibles "Another chango tn the plans is not yet decided on, but seems to me imminent. At the beginning it was intended to use dirigible baloons; in fact, the company was right on the verge of buying its first dirigible from Captain Thomas Baldwin. Now It seems to me that the aeroplane, larger, of course, than the slight machines in use for racing and exhibition purposes. Is more likely to be the thing. The dirigibles, to have any great carrying capacity, have to be such enormous things that a small army of men is necessary to handle them in starting and stopping, and they have not proved satisfactory In going to windward. Recent Feat Convincing. "See how much trouble the Zeppelins, the most successful of the dirigibles, have had, for Instance. We were hoping that the Zeppelin type of dird to use dirigible balloons; in fact, we have a representative with the Zeppelin people watching their progress. He has also been In France, in touch with the army maneuvers with dirigibles. The Zeppelin company Is now prepared to build a twenty-pas

senger dirigible for us, but the recent feat In France with an aeroplane the carrying of fifteen passenger has swung interest and hopes to this form of air machines. - "Already, several forms of aeroplanes are under ' consideration. One builder has offered plans for an aeroplane which will carry twenty, or even fifty passengers at a speed of one hundred miles an hour. This machine is a biplane and Btarts without the preliminary glide or run, lifting itself vertically to the desired elevation. James V. Martin, of the Harvard Aeronautical society, now with Grahame-Whlte In London, has become an expert aviator. On his return to Boston, he Is to Instruct the company's aviators. Some of them also will study at the Burgess school at Squantum, this summer." Their Stations. "How many sites have you secured, Mr. Glldden?' "The principal Boston station will be on the old athletic grounds at Newton; another Boston station will be alongside the AlMon Golf club links on Commonwealth avenue. We also have the refusal of a site across the Charles River. In Cambridge, about orpoBite Fairfield street. "I have secured a Bite for the New York region if I care to close the op

tion. It is only a few minutes walk from a car line and close to the city itself. The southerly New York station is over on the Jersey side. The next station, in Philadelphia. I have an option on, but I am not at liberty to disclose the location. "We figure that we shall make the trip at a minimum speed of a mile a minute. This will mean three and three quarter hours between New York and Boston, and ninety-five minutes or less from New York to Philadelphia. The rate of fare has not yet been determined, but the management is satisfied that the cost will be 80 per cent less than that operating trains. "The company's offer to give a handsome bonus over the cost of construction, for the first passenger airship which will carry twenty passengers in forty minutes from Boston to Worcester still stands. The distance is forty miles." The officers of Mr. Glidden's Aerial Navigation company, as given by the certificate on file at the statehouse, are Cherles J. Glidden, president; Nathan L. Amster, treasurer; Henry Herrick Bond, secretary, and H. Helm Clayton, general manager.

Points to be Observed in Learning to Drive Machine

FAVOR RECIPROCITY 4,240 Newspapers for It, a Poll Shows.

The spread of the destructive cotton boll weevil is attributed by some to the destruction of birds which formerly held the insects in check.

The most difficult task for the driving novice to master is gear shifting. The disengagement of the clutch together with the speed lever movement is quite as difficult at first as patting the head with one hand and rubbing the chest with the otfler. If there were not so many things to do all at the same time the beginner would be less confused. However, driving is a simple art when once mastered, says W. H. Stewart of the Stewart Automobile academy. Preparatory to starting the engine one should always be cautious. First note that the gear lever is in neutral position, then set the emergency brake . This accomplished the danger of being run over by one's own car is eliminated. The next very important step is to fully retard the sparks With this in a sate position to avoid dangerous "kick back" and thet hrottle partially open the engine is ready for the switch and cranking. Assuming that the engine is started, advance the Braik to the normal position on the quadrant and adjust the hand throttle until the motor runs smoothly and without racing. The driver is then ready to take his posi

tion behind the wheel. Since most operators use the foot accelerator in preference to the band throttle, let us assume its use in the present instance. Before starting the car it is well to note a few don'ts, namely: 1. Don't place the hands above the center of the steering wheel at any time. 2. Don't take too firm a grip on the steering wheel; it looks awkward and is tiresome and dangerous. 3. Don't race the motor. 4. Don't move the gear lever without disengaging the clutch. 5. Don't let the clutch in fast, especially when starting the car from a standstill. 6. Don't move the foot away from the clutch pedal when the car is moving it should always be in position. 7. Don't start the car on any other than first speed. 8. Don't slip the clutch too much, it will burn or wear beyond repair. 9. Don't watch the fellow behind, he is watching you. 10. Don't take your eyes off the road for any reason whatever while the car is rolling. With the engine started and bearing the don'ts in mind, let us proceed to start the car. First, throw out the clutch, release the emergency brake,

and place the gear lever in first speed. Then let clutch come back easily, accelerating the engine as it take the load. When the car is rolling release the clutch again and shift from first to intermediate gear. This operation must be accomplished before the momentum already gained is lost, or it will be necessary to start over again on first speed. Having gained the intermediate speed and assuming the next to be the high, one should accelerate considerably and then repeat the former clutch and lever movement. At first it will be found difficult to judge the proper time when to shift the gears quickly and noiselessly. Most beginners dwell to long upon the shifting of the lever and hesitate to engage the clutch. For such it is well to note that the clutch may engage very rapidly, provided suficient momentum is attained before the shift of gears is made. It is also well to remember that the power should be applied as the eulteh begins to engage. If in advance of this a jolt is unavoidable, if too late, the motor may become stalled.

(National News Association) Chicago, 111., June 3. The Tribune

published today the rsults of a poll of

newspapers in 22 states of the central, western, southwestern, northwestern and Pacific divisions on the question of approving the reciprocity agreement negotiated with Canada by President Taft. To more than 10.000 newspapers, representing every shade of political opinion, the Tribune submitted this question: "Are you in favor of the approval

by congress of the reciprocity agreement with Canada, negotiated by President Taft? The replies numbered 4,303, of which 4,240 were definite, even if qualified, expressions of opinion. Of these 3,113 were in favor of the agreement and 1,127 against it, nearly a three to one vote for the policy advocated by President Taft. shattering

the dreams of the foes of reciprocity. The conclusion is plain, if not irresistible, that the country, at least the parts ' o( it included within the 22 states thus polled, welcomes " the removal of the tariff wall between the United States and the Dominion. The newspapers, daily and weekly, which give the verdict are representative of public opinion. They are safe

YOU know, the real estate men know and everybody in Richmond knows that the exclusive residence section of Richmond is finally settling on Pleasant Hill, the magnificent rise of ground above West Fifth street, overlooking the whole city. BEAUTIFUL homes already located there, the proximity of the new City Park, of Earlham, of the Country Club, and many other features have already determined this. Nature, herself, originally determined it by forming this beautifully wooded ridge overlooking the valley in which the city of Richmond has grown. THIS is the first and the last opportunity ever offered to purchase a lot in this magnificent section on terms so easy that you will never feel it. AS an investment such an opportunity has seldom been offered these beautiful building sites are bound to command higher prices within a short time. You owe it to yourself to investigate the proposition thoroughly and AT ONCE !
