New York.—Although authenticated records show that man first rode the air successfully only 146 years ago. aviation as an Idea la at least 2,300 year old. Indications are that men were ex perimenting with fantastic devices for the conquest of the air long be fore the hlrth of Christ, according to a compilation of ancient chronicles made by the Golden Book. Although the narrated flight of Archytaa of Tarentum In 400 R O, recorded by Gelllus. Is regarded large ly as a flight of Imagination. It la ac cepted as an Indication that even then men were attempting seriously to imi tate the hl»xis. “Many men of eminence among the Greeks, and Favorinus the philoso pher,'* says Gelllus, “have In a most positive manner assured us that ths model of a dove or pigeon, formed In wood by Archytaa, was to contrived as by a certain mechanical art and power to fly. ao nicely was It bal anced by weights and put In motion by bidden and enclosed air.” Da Vincra Plan Scientific. Ovid’s atcry of the fall of Icarus shows that the ambition was still alive In tbe First century of the Christian era. ax does other mention of man made wings and ships modeled after birds. At about the time that Coiambus discovered America, Leonardo da Vin ci gave his famous and scientifically sound plan for a flying machine. “A bird la an instrument working accord ing to mathematical law, an Instru ment which It la within the capacity of man to reproduce with all Its move ments. though not with a correspond ing degree of strength, for it Is defi cient In the \ power of maintaining equilibrium,*’ he said. “To attain to the true science of the movement of birds In the air. It la necessary to give first -the science of the winds. . . . Unites the movement of the wing is swifter than the movement of the air so pressed, the air will not be come condensed and the bird will not support Itself." But even before Leonardo, Roger Bacon in the Thirteen centnry con ceived the Idea of an artificial bird— an Idea which Is the subject of ex perimentation even today, the Golden Book article points ont Bacon set forth that “an Instrument may be made to fly withal If one sit in the midst of the Instrument, and do turn an engine, by which the wings, being artiflcally composed, may beat the air after the manner of the flying bird.” The compilation also contains first hand accounts of the two asfcenslons by which the Montgolfier brothers and Pilatre de Rozler proved the prac ticality of the first hot-air balloons in 1783. First Successful Flight On June 5 of that year at Annonay, France, the Montgolfiers sent op their first balloon, a bag 110 feet in circum ference and weighing 300 pounds. Without a passenger, it shot op to a height of 6.000 feet in ten minutes, and traveled a mile and a half before it descended gently to earth. On October 15 of the same year, in another machine built" by-the Mont golfiers, de Rosier rode the air for the first time succesrfully, stoking tbe fire which heated the air within the gas bag with straw and wool. "After a few trials does, to tbe grovnd, he desired to ascend to a great height," mjs the account “The machine waa accordingly permitted to riet, and ascend as high as the ropes. dttata Tt, VOfiio alW, WHrar^lria about 84 test There M. de Rosier kept tbe machine afloat four minutes and twenty-five seconds by throwing straw and wool into the grate to keep up the fire. Then tbe machine de scended exceedingly gently." BRIDGE PARTY FOR MRS. SOLOMON BROWN f. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Charlie Brown, Sr., Mrs. Charlie Brown, Jr., and Mrs. Ralph Brown entertained with ten tables of bridge in honor of Mrs. Solomon Brown, who is leaving in /the near future to make her home in Batesburg. The rooms, thrown en suite, were transformed into a flowery bower of hydrangeas and yellow daisies, which gave the effect of a summer garden. The color scheme of yellow was effectively carried out in every minute detail, from the tally cards through the refreshments. Mrs. Norman Anderson won the high score prize, a box of Houbigant face powder, and Mrs. Charlie Marsh ctit the conso lation, a Jar of French bath salts. The guest of- honor was presented with a yellow wall vase, emblematic of the horn of plenty. Delicious yel low French ice cream, yellow cake and yellow mints were served.

MAN WAS TRYING TO FLY BEFORE CHRIST Fish Liars Club Now . * Issuing Liar’s License Waterloo, N. Y.—Prompted by a real need, tbe Liars club of Waterloo now Issues a liar's license. It all started when W. Fred Bacon, an attorney, returned from Florida with a story, accompanied by photo graphs, of catching 88 fish’ totaling 800 pounds in a single day. He was Immediately awarded a card of honor by tbe Liars club. - But the lying became so rampant that the executive committee decided to Issue a card permitting its mem bers to falsify. Tbe card allows reck lessness with the truth in all matters pertaining to fish or fishing for the current season.
